    i7 930 build or i5 750 build?

    Which SSD do I get?

    I'm looking to get an SSD for my laptop to replace the 320GB 5200RPM drive that in it currently. I've been looking at several different drives and just can't decide. It's mostly just for the OS (Win7) and Civ4. I'll still have the 320GB drive for storage, but I want something faster for the...

    Q9400 or Phenom II 955

    I've actually got both on order (I got a bit click happy) but I only need 1. With the Q9400 I'll use the Motherboard in my sig, but I ordered some new ram since the Patriot is not so good at OCing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115131...

    New CM 690 II

    I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been posted (didn't find it in search). The CM690 II !!! The original CM-690 is awesome, but lacked that certain *Pop* or 'Wow' factor. With the new CM-690 II there is Pop and Wow, all in a sleek, matte-black design...

    5770 or 4890 for WoW?

    Which do I get? I'm building a new machine for my brother-in-law (gift from my sister) and just can't decide which to get. The 5770 has DX11, so if he gets a DX11 game, he's covered. But the 4890 seems to perform better at all the current games. He primarily plays WoW, and will be driving a...

    Dumb PCIE question - Asus P5B-E/WiFi

    Your CPU progression

    Taking queue from the Graphics card section, I thought it would be fun to show your progression in CPU's.

    Installing Vista Ultimate x64 with my RAID 0

    I've read on Legit Reviews they explain how to install Vista ON a raid, but not installing vista to another hard drive in an environment where a raid is present. I can't seem to get Vista to install correctly. Everything looks fine till I get to the end of this point then my computer restarts...
