I have a Gigabyte GA-EP43 mobo with a quad core 2 ghz chip 4gb of OCZ DDR RAM and a 9800GT XFX video card. They were being powered by an Antec 600W blue series PS. Randomly the system would reboot. I did the typical reseat, blwo out dust time and time again. Re installed OS time and time...

I'm upgrading a mail system that currently runs on an old dell 2450 with u320 scsi drives. I plan on clustering two webmail front ends and running the mysql and nfs mount on a seperate server. So I'm trying to foresee where the bottleneck would be in performance. Do i spring for 15k drives on...

I've been away from gamin and PC building for a few years now. I remember my top 3 sites for guides (low,medium,high) were: - anandtech -toms hardware - sharky extreme seems like no one is doing this (current) anymore. So I ask, where (beside reading 100's of posts) to read who's using...

I'm looking for the best value components to use in an "easy" and "safe" OC scenario. This has probably been answered 1000 times, but the more I read the more I can't decide. Some say E7200 some say Q6600 I have no OC'ing experience (obviously) so I'm looking for a mobo that makes it easy...

Slightly off topic. I'm just looking to see if anyone has any opinion/experience with this hardware. I came across the following FC SAN storage, I know it's almost 8 years old now, but it seems like a decent deal - thoughts? $500 for: 1x Dell Powervault 660F 2x Controller Cards 2x...

If anyone know/has experience with an LED/LCD control panel that fits in a 3.5inch bay, can you please point me in the right direction. This would be for a linux box to modify some things like the systems IP address.

Looking at a lot of the different rigs you guys post up here, I see a lot of you paying out for the added SATA high-end raid card. I know about performance benefits and such, but If I'm looking at building a low end lower cost storage unit, what are my options? I'm thinking of a single ATX...
