Budget of $200 before shipping costs. Looking for full-tower cases like this, the V2010:
Doesn't have to be THIS particlar case, nor does it have to be Lian Li, could be another brand built by Lian Li (like the ABS Black Pearl), or any case really, as long as it's black, looks good, and...
Windows Server 2008 x64, EVGA X58. Tried using SpeedFan, but it won't load. I can see the process is running, but the application itself appears to be frozen and does not open, nor does it appear in the system tray.
This is why I miss my DFI boards. They have that SmartGuardian software which...
Please do not reply to this thread if you just want to praise/bash Windows. There are already enough of those threads here, please go to one of them.
I would like to know what exactly Windows 7 has actually ADDED compared to Vista. I want specifics, not some vague answer about improved...
Insanely low prices as of January 13
Alrighty... So, I'm kind of thinking that Skulltrail might be a bit overkill for my needs. I am not encoding as much as I had planned, so my entire reasoning behind this system kind of fell apart. I may scale back to a QX9650 or something, maybe I'll swap...
I have a brand new in box EVGA GTX 260 SSC. The lowest price I can find for the SSC version is $275 at Buy.com. This card has not yet been registered, it only arrived at my door yesterday.
I would like to trade it for two (2) 8800Ultra cards. I might accept 2x 8800GTX instead if I can't get...
I also have one Dell XPS M1530 gaming laptop for sale. It is the GDDR3 version, which means it can actually be used as a mobile gaming rig, unlike most of the other DDR2 8600M GT ones out there. It has the following specs:
Dell XPS M1530 (Tuxedo Black version)
Intel Core 2 Duo T5750...
2x VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 4850 cards, used. $155 each. Edit: 1x. One of them just died, so I have to RMA it.
1x DFI LT X48-T2R motherboard. Absolutely the best overclocking X48 mobo. $197 SOLD.

I am currently running two HD4850s in CrossFire. However, ATI's drivers (or lack thereof) for Windows Server 2008 do NOT work with 4850 CrossFire. I would like to switch to NVIDIA SLI instead. I want TWO 8800Ultra cards. I would prefer them to have full cover / EK water blocks already, but I...

I might be getting a Fuzion V1 and a Fuzion V2 block for my loop. Before I do though, I wanted to make sure that this is alright. I hear the V2 is more restrictive than the V1, so I was thinking:
MCP350 pump => MCP220 240mm rad => Fuzion V1 => Fuzion V2
Is that a good config? Is the rad...
There are a few southbridge water blocks for this board. They are enormous and cover all the way to the edge of the PCIe slots, where the two NV PCIe chips are, to the right where the southbridge is located.
Like the Blastflow waterblock:
I have a DFI LT X48 motherboard that I could...
Alrighty, let's put a poll up here. I'm wondering how many people plan to hop onto the Core i7 platform (Nehalem), and when. I think I've covered most of the major paths in the poll choices.
i7 920 + X58 at launch
i7 940 + X58 at launch
i7 965 EE + X58 at launch
i7 920 + X58 within 4...
I need 6 sticks (12GB) of DDR3. That's three 2x2GB sets, or 6x2GB. Shoot me your offers ASAP!
I may also be interested in a GTX280.
I have two VisionTek HD 4850 cards for trade as well.
I need a pair of 2GB DDR3 sticks. They should be rated for 1333MHz with timings of 7-7-7. Mostly, I'm looking for this set of Mushkin "996652" 2x2GB
Shoot me a price for it. Also have two VisionTek HD 4850 cards for trade if that's something you'd be interested in. Also willing to trade...
Just need one for use in a POS Atom system I'm building. Must be 120GB or larger, but cheaper than $40 shipped to Montreal, Quebec, Canada (H1G1T1). For something this small, the cost is roughly the same as shipping within the lower 48.
Looking to trade two VisionTek Radeon HD 4850 cards. I will add cash, or request additional cash from you, depending on what you trade me.
I am looking for:
GTX 280
2x2GB of DDR3-1333 7-7-7 RAM (only 2x2GB, I already have 4 other sticks; preferably Mushkin) (I will do a straight trade of...
I need the following parts, everything must be cheap. Let me know what shipping is to Montreal, Quebec, Canada (for small things like a CPU via USPS, it's only a couple of bucks more than within the continental US):
CPU: 754, 939, AM2 or LGA775 (with a heatsink) <$20
Mobo: To go with the...
So, I'm looking for something fairly cheap that has at least 5 ports. The more the better, but I'm not looking to spend too much.
Basically, I need a managed switch that can do 802.1Q for multiple VLANs -- I need to hook up multiple modems and multiple PCs to a pfSense machine that has a...
I'm currently using the Logitech LX7. Sure, it works fine, but I realize now that it's becoming very tiresome for my hand. So, what is the largest mouse out there? The G9? G7? MX518? Diamondback? Lachesis? Deathadder? Copperhead?
Tell me! It doesn't have to be one of the aforementioned mice...
Seagate's 7200.11 640GB drive is out and about. Was this some kind of silent release to vendors, because I didn't hear a peep about it until I saw it on sale for $98 today. Theoretically, it should perform better than WD's 640GB due to the fact that it has twice the cache.
Does anyone have a...
Running Vista x64. Device Manager shows both cards there, they're identified correctly, they have the same drivers, but only the second card activates. The first one (installed in PCIe x16 #1) comes up with Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43).
The 8.6...
I'm a big fan of EVGA and XFX when it comes to NVIDIA products. I had to RMA my 680i to them, sent out my XFX 680i LT and DFI LT X38-T2R on the same day :(.
BFG is one of the only companies I have dealt with to have Canadian shipping addresses for RMA. It took BFG only FIVE DAYS to get my...
Well, I've discovered that my WRT54GL with Tomato (and even worse with DD-WRT) is struggling to keep up with my torrent habits. With uTorrent open, my Internet connection just slows to a crawl. I have tried a plethora of different settings, mostly dealing with QoS, but it just doesn't cut it...
I've been down for a while. Damn LT X38-T2R died on me. My X48-T2R just arrived and I'm done putting the system together.
I see people have found ways of manually setting the fan. I've done some searching, and I couldn't come up with any results about automatic stuff though. So, could anyone...
Well, I'm trying to RMA my motherboard to DFI (LT X38-T2R :(), but I have one issue. They say not to include any cables or "accessories". Does the giant NB heatsink fall into this category? Just wondering whether or not I should include this heatsink, as it did originally come detached. It is...
Not quite, but thought I'd share with you some delicious, delicious foam.
Been sitting here for two hours waiting for the system to drain. Why, you ask? I have cats who also seem to think foam is delicious, they just lack my amazing willpower to not drink it.
I love PC Ice. Argh, this...

Same price that I paid, but the core is overclocked to 950 MHz (+ 25 MHz), and memory is up to 1140 MHz (+ 147 MHz :eek:), AND it has a dual-slot cooler.
Only 26 left, apparently. Get 'em while they're hot. Just ordered two VisionTeks myself.

For people who a) want a shady lifetime warranty and b) want to avoid Sapphire.
I'm done. The 4850 looks amazing for the price. I'll be getting a pair of them for CF, maybe a third one in a few weeks.
Who else has already decided on their card(s)?
Alrighty, fellers. Help me decide here, I'm stuck. And before you even bother, I don't want suggestions of other boards unless they are <$150 new (despite some of these being over that amount) and are better than these.
Please tell me if any of these boards do not overclock well, have known...
Another 680i dead. I need offers FAST!
Must:
have 6 or more SATA ports
have 1 or more PATA ports
have RAID 5 support
have DDR2 support
be a good overclocker
cost less than $200 shipped
have 2 or more PCI-E x16 slots, though I might consider boards with just one depending on the price...

On sale for $474.99, minus a $25 MIR: $449.99. The 9800GX2 is now in the price range of a 3870x2. Crazy!
Only 10 for sale at this price, though.
Okay, not sure what happened, but I can't wait for the whole RMA process. I'll just sell my 680i LT when it gets back. Anyhow, I need a board NOW! Gotta get back to work, and working from my HTPC is a pain in the ass (literally).
So, please suggest some boards. I have a E6600 right now, but I...
I've had this H20-120 (or H2O-120, I'm not sure, they seem to list it as both) all-in-one kit that I nabbed for $40 as a price error for a few months now. I didn't have an appropriate case to fit it in until now. Nothing special, but this kit cost me less than my Scythe Ninja rev.A.
It's got...
Edit: I've updated this post due to input from other forum members about its original tone and my own personal opinions being sprinkled in.
Going through that new Creative thread is incredibly baffling. How the heck people have become so confused about the various technologies (and their...
Smart, eh? I was frustrated and in a rush, so I accidentally pushed the IDE cable into my HDD too card... upside down. It didn't make a clean break, some was still left on the HDD (maybe 40%), so I decided to put some aluminum foil in the hole of the IDE connector for the broken pin...
This game looks awesome. It looks like a cross of Monkey Island, Penny Arcade, and a turn-based combat RPG. I only found out about it a couple of days ago, too, completely by accident.

I was wondering, how long should I leave my system to drain the air out? It's only a 120mm rad (though with 2x120mm fans in a push/pull config), and I'm only cooling the CPU right now. I've popped the top on my reservoir to do this, and the opening is above my CPU block and tubing -- is that the...
