OK, One of my neighbors is around 70ish and he games but nothing serious and mostly old games (Crysis, Spores, SIMs) etc, etc his old PC died recently (capacitors went bye bye) and I was trying to help him out with his HP laptop that I am sure it could handle those game but the problem is that...

Here I go again asking for help even if I don't participate in the forums much. You guys are a wealth of knowledge and I am going to take advantage of your kindness. A few months back I posted a thread regarding making my Asus G15CE-B9 Desktop PC chassis have a better ventilation and a few...

I have a Brand New in its box MSI B550-A-PRO (Never used but the box didn't come with a seal) that I am looking to Sell or Trade (even if I don't really know for what at this moment). The prices are around $150.00 which is pretty much what I paid but I can let it go for $135.00 ship to CONUS.

I am used to the Logitech G9 wired mouse even though the ergos were never quiet there for me (yes guys, that's how old I am or rather how old my rig was ;) ) but now, my man cave (TV+PC Case) is about 12 feet away from my couch so I need a "Wireless" mouse if I want to game. I am not even sure...

So my son bought a Combo from BB yesterday in order to get the 3070 GPU that came with it. I have not really gone through it all fully but It also came with an i7-11700F + Asus rog strix b560-g gaming wifi Mini ATX Mobo + 16GBs of Ram (8GBs x 2... unclear on what brand/model yet), Asus 650...

It is that time again and I feel lucky this one lasted me more than 5 years (almost 8 to be exact :);)). I have a budget of 800 bucks and I really don't want to go over it. I know this is by far the worse time to be building a new rig but so be it, mine has started acting up, I have freezes and...

Ok so I have my AT&T BGW210 in my master bedroom along with my Gaming Rig and also my TV but I need to evacuate it seems as I firmly believe my wife has taken possession of both items I enjoy (why can't they never see us happy? :(). I am looking for 2 favors and I hope I am posting on the...

Ok, sorry for the rant, I would like to ask the question here since I don't normally visit any other forum. I have had a family plan (it was 5 lines until recently) with some extra discounts since 2005 or 2006 (this is where the grandfathered option comes in). I have been out of contract for a...

Sorry if this has been asked to death. Old fart here so I have always believed into the "the human eye can not see more than 30 fps" but seeing some youtube videos of the difference in gameplay between 60hz and 144hz has made me question my beliefs. I am a Solo/Campaign gamer and I am not...

It seems that every few years I come here to pick you guy's brains and this year is no different so I hope you can lend me your tech... 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Office PC, Web Browsing, Light Image Editing (Fireworks), Accounting Software &...

This is really exciting for me because it means, he will get into the action on a real rig and not old technology console. Now, the last time I built a gaming rig (so to speak) was a year or so ago and I figure technology has changed and I always end up buying incompatible components. :eek...

I need your input before I go wasting hard earned money that I don't really have. I had a EVGA780i FTW SLI board with a Q9650 + 8GBs of Corsair DDR2 RAM that went belly up on me and I can't make it start. I tossed it away to the corner of the garage, all of a sudden my MoM & Dad need a new PC...

Primordially I am looking for regular home/homework/youtube/skype usage so nothing fancy. I had the Q9650 working with an EVGA 680i SLI FTW board as my gaming rig, I got a new rig and gave this one to my daughter but it seems I porked the board trying to fix it and now my daughter is out of a...

This is, by far, the first time that this happens to me, usually I am grinning ear to ear when I finally am able to get a new build, not this time, this time I feel like I have wasted my money. Perhaps I was under the impression that what I had was a low end system and it turned out to be a...

Newegg has this CX430w for 24.99 after rebate... Amazon has it for 40 cheeseburger in comparison... both FREE shipping. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 I was looking to finish a build and Danny Bui was gracious enough to point me to the Amazon one, looking...

I have a Thermaltake TR2 430w PSU and I want to connect it to an EVGA 780 SLI FTW Mobo with a Q9650 CPU. This is my old Gaming Rig that I want to give to my daughter for daily use, homework, browsing, emails, etc, etc I have hit a snag because the mobo requires an 8pin 12v plug + the std...

Serial Code never used or installed before... I imagine the T-Shirt is one of those "one size fits all" because I haven't even opened it ... I will only do it if it is a deal breaker. :eek: $ 40.00 ... Shipped CONUS only or OBO... but honestly, I am not willing to go much much lower than this...

Used or Refurbished but in very good condition... I only have a few days before I pull the pin on a Brand New One so I don't miss out on the MiR. I don't buy or sale often here or on ebay but I do have positive heatware on both. I only pay with PayPal or PayPal Credit Card unless the sale...

Up to now, I have been able to play most FPS and recent shooters with my trusted ole GTX260, perhaps not maxed out but since I only do the Campaigns and I am not looking to impress my friends, well enough to let me enjoy my gaming. Fast forward to Crysis 3 and looking at the requirements I...

Trying to help my mechanic friend, he has an old beat up PC that I have finally convinced him to kick to the side, he wastes more time trying to get to what he needs than actually fixing cars so... here we go 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc AllData...

Guys as the tittle says, I am looking for a good Brand TV for my Office. I finally hooked up cable and I want to be able to watch the Olympics and other sports on it. I am not looking for a Monitor, this must be primordially a TV. Also, the package I choose doesn't offer me any HD channels so...

First a little bit of background is in order I guess. My computer is in my room (see specs below) and so is my Samsung HDTV, I have it connected to my TV via Component Cables (Red/Blue/Green) and std 3.5mm audio but, sometimes my wife wants to use the PC so I can't stream my motorcycle races...

I am trying to help a friend, told him I will built the rig for him but I know nothing about building a rig for Video Editing and Photoshop... I would say it is similar to building a Gaming rig but I rather not speculate. Here's the scenario: Upload the image from his video camera, edit/play...

OK, I am extremely happy with the Office PC you guys helped me built back in February that I thought I would bother you guys again and build another one. I was going to use the same components to build this first one but I thought that I would be wise to see if there something newer (read...

Guys, I have an old server with Windows 2000 server that I use because of my software (let's just leave it at that). Right now I also run an old sata 74GB drive (5 yrs old at least) and since I am looking to speed up my server a bit, I was thinking that getting a new SSD might be a good way to...

Yes, you heard right, I am looking for just a cell phone, you know... those things where you press some digits and makes a call? :D No, I have no use for a smart phone and I have a Motorola Rokr E8 that I am even willing to part with... that is how much I just want a regular phone. I would...

If you were looking for wireless TV headsets for under 100 bucks... which ones would you buy or recommend?. I bought some Sony MDR-IF240R about 2 o 3 yrs ago that did the job but the right side quit working on me. Recently I bought some TV Ears from Costco (see image) and they work good but...

I need your help, it seems I still live under a rock and my TV is a Toshiba 36" Tube type that weighs a little less than a Sherman Tank. I got a 20% off Coupon from Newegg and decided to do a little window shopping just to see what I could buy with my Tax Refund Money (if I don't owe it when it...

OK, I am going to try to follow the guidelines here in order to find the best bang for my buck. I prefer Intel & Nvidia over AMD/ATI just because I am more familiar with it... the few times I'd used AMD/ATI I had bad experiences. I don't want to go cheap (as in lower quality) but I also don't...

Guys, I am looking to replace my old Altec Lansing THX ADA995 system and I have no idea where to go or how to start. Basic listening to music and some burning video clips adding sound for family and friends. I am not looking to annoy my neighbors but I do want a good system... around 250 to...
