    Antec P182

    I agreed p182 is an awesome case. Downside is that it weighs a ton and you might need to do some cable adjusting of some sorts. But otherwise its quiet and does the job quite nicely if you aren't into looks. The side panels also offer extra sound insulation.

    Hmm...So it boots but no display? Check the monitor/cable. Try another monitor. I did that on mine once and for some unknown reason, it worked. My computer required lots of guess work. It hated going to lans as well. But on the beeps, i havent used that for years so i thought it went through...

    Best card for 1920x1200? Overclocking/graphics issues.

    9800GTX should easily take that punishment. I think it is a driver issue. Is the driver updated and/or it may be the CPU. Try overclocking the CPU abit and see if theres any difference.

    This is the dumbest/funniest computer problem I have ever had... any quickfix ideas?

    Ive got a p182 Antec case. I would super-glue those magnets while your at it too. Those have a habit to come off. The only thing that annoys me with the p180/p182 cases is that the damn things weigh more than a tank. But its quiet and cool though.

    Use the buzzer method then. Find some speakers, put the red lead on the + on of the buzzer and black on the negative and start the pc up. Count the beeps and write it down. Use Google : gigabyte error beeps

    New 1st time build, research not enough, advice requested.

    Yeah, scaling on LCD screens just isnt meant to be. Always use its native resolution on LCD screens otherwise it just looks horrible. Oh and make sure you get a screen that is HDCP compatible that allows HDMI to DVI connections. If you are doing alot of editing, do you have a backup process...

    Well, do what everyone else does. Strip your system of RAM/GPU and disconnect every cable. One by one put the cables back to where they belong till you have the essentials to boot the system (Mobo/cpu/RAM/GPU) and try and start it. If it doesnt work, you can find a buzzer, hook it up (or...

    computer freezes during gaming

    Disconnect any unnecessary USB devices, there isnt enough power (amps wise) going to the core parts of the computer. Get a seperate power supply, hook the hard drives up to it and see if it still crashes. I dont think it the GPU, i have the same problems and it always lies in the power supply. I...

    system build or not?

    DDR3 offers more throughput at the cost of latency. DDR3's real benefit is lower power usage. Realistically DDR2-1066 should be more than efficient seeing how i find it impossible that you are running your CPU at 533mhz FSB 24/7 (correct me if im wrong). For gaming, DDR2 should offer a better...

    2.5" 7200 v 3.5" 7200 RAID Set up

    Hi, I was just wondering which HDD size (2.5" or 3.5") will offer more performance in a RAID . I was looking at the new raptors but the issue is that i dont believe the raptors would be reliable enough to survive being moved around alot. So therefore i was wondering if the 2.5" will provide...
