So my old 150GB raptor died (2 months out of warranty !@#$$) and I need a replacement. The 300GB Velociraptor would be ok too depending on price. Let me know what you have!
I'm currently running an old 8800GTS 320MB that just isn't cutting it with F1 2011. I've been thinking about upgrading, but I have a really limited budget so an older card is all that I can fit in. From what I've found, the 280 and the 4870 seem to still be somewhat competitive. Will either of...
Looking for a solid P35 or P45 chipset board. Would like to stick with Asus or Gigabyte and the max budget I have for this board is $65.
Boards I'm looking for:
Asus P5Q Pro
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
Gigabyte P35-DS3R
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Also open to other reliable options. I need a decent...
Has anyone ever ordered from AntaresPro.com before? They have some good deals on fans but I've never heard of them before. I usually just order from Jabtech but they're significantly cheaper.
So I just have one last thing to buy for a new i7 system, and that's the OS drive. I don't need a whole lot of space for this pc so for size, the 40GB Intel X25-V would be a good fit. However, for half the price, I could pick up a 640GB WD Caviar Black. The 640GB also has a 5 year warranty...
Looking for a low priced P45 motherboard. Primarily looking at an Asus P5Q Pro or an Asus P5K Deluxe but I'm open to other P45 boards or even X38 if the price is right. Let me know what you have!
I'm building a basic i7 rig and was wondering if an Antec NeoPower 500w would be enough to power an Asus P6T, i7-920, 6GB ram, a couple of hard drives, and a 9600GT? The 9600GT I know is old and slow but it's all that's really needed in my application so it will for sure either be the 9600 or...
Sorry if this has been covered already but the search engine seems to get flummoxed by "3.0." I'm building an X58 rig for my parents and they tend to keep their computers for about 4-5 years. By this time will USB 3.0/SATA 3.0 be a necessity? I can't see them moving to an SSD in this pc's...
**SOLD to Dr.Evil**
Switched over to all 1.5TB drives so I'm selling my 750s. They run well and I've never had any problems with either. Asking $55 shipped each.

I've been having some major problems with my sound card lately. I have an EMU 1212m output via coaxial SPDIF to an external DAC and when I left in August, the set-up was working fine. I come back, Vista installs a bunch of new crap and I suddenly get snaps and crackles every time I open a window...
This is probably a noob question but I have my main laptop hooked up to a 1.5TB external hard drive with all my media on it. Is there a way to stream this content over WIFI to my second laptop? I live in a dorm so I don't have access to the router which is why I was wondering if I could just...
For sale is a birch/silver Ikea Fredrick. I bought it last year to use in my dorm but I'm in a new dorm this year so we have new desks already. It's very sturdy, has lots of room, and is in great condition. It's currently being stored in the original box but I can assemble it for free if you...
Where do you guys purchase your screen protectors from? I ordered a set off eBay but it's not as thick as my old one so the protector doesn't look completely smooth under certain angles of light. I was thinking of buying the one linked below but I'm not sure if it'll be the same thing...
I purchased 3 1.5TB Seagate drives from him on the 27th (Sent payment on the evening of the 27th). He said he would ship out the next morning however I have not heard back from him since before I sent him payment. I have contacted him several times however, he has not responded and hasn't signed...
I'm having a hard time understanding T-Mobile's policy on international WiFi calling. I was told that it can be used anywhere on the globe and you'll only be charged for your standard minutes by a T-Mobile salesperson but everywhere else I've read says either its only for nationwide calling and...
GF is looking for a new phone and has no idea what to buy. I barely use my T-Mobile line so idk what phone she should get. She's probably not going to get a data plan but wants a qwerty keyboard for texting. Also prefers Samsung but is open to other phones. What do you guys think of these...
So I'm due up for a replacement phone and I found exactly what phone I want (The Samsung Impression) however the only place who carries it here is ATT direct and they want $200 (-$50 rebate) plus $20 a month for data. I don't need the data plan so I don't want to do this. What I was thinking...
I have 6 Lian Li 5.25" black bay covers, looking to trade them for 5 of the Lian Li 5.25" black mesh bay covers. I know some people prefer the solid covers so if you want to trade, here's your chance. I'd also be willing to buy them outright for around $30-35.
I've had my Rocketfish for about a year now and have been doing mods all along the way, thought it was time I finally made a worklog for this monstrosity! :D Bear with me as future additions will have more pictures of the actual modding.

I found a Rocketfish at my local Best Buy and...
I have a Gigabye P35C-DS3R motherboard and it has 6 SATA ports off the Intel controller and 2 SATA ports off the Gigabyte controller. Now my problem is that, up until now I had been running all my drives off the Intel controller but I ran out of those so I attached my new hdd to the Gigabyte...
Has anyone rma'd a hdd through Seagate lately? I'm RMA'ing an old 200GB hdd and it's not really worth it for me to use their advance rma process so I was wondering how you guys usually pack your drives. I have a small Amazon box they shipped me my 1.5TB in, and that will give the drive about an...
So I've been doing some research and it seems like the Silverstone ST350 is the way to go for a budget power supply. Is this the best quiet psu in this price range? I'm replacing some parts in my dad's pc (P5B-VM, E6300, Onboard Graphics so nothing powerful) and need a cheap but good psu.
Is there a reason why graphics cards don't use standard 4pin pwm or 3 pin fans? I want to replace the stock cooler on my 9600GT with something like the Scythe Musashi but I only have one extra fan header on my motherboard so two fans is a no go unless I use an adapter, which is a pain with my...
I saw this case when I was looking through their website a couple nights ago. It looks slick! Nice array of features too. :D

By the end of this summer what do you guys expect the price of the Seagate 1.5TB drives to be? I could buy one now but I won't technically need it until the end of August so I'm not sure if I should wait or just pull the trigger now. With prices around $100-110 now, I'm thinking prices won't...
Looking to purchase a bunch of stuff, let me know what you have!
-Asus Xonar D2 or D2X Soundcard
-Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11 Hard Drive
-Thermalright HR-03GT
-Scythe 92mm or 120mm fans
I'm planning on doing some case modding and was hoping you guys could hep me out with aluminum selection. I don't really know what the difference between the types of aluminum are nor what thickness I need.
What I'm doing:
I'm going to mount two hard drive cages with three hard drives in...
Looking to purchase a Seagate 1.5TB, don't really care what firmware you have, 5 year warranty would be nice but not necessary. Let me know what you have!
What do you guys think of this card? Looks to be a good alternative to those wanting a good "music" oriented soundcard and don't need the 5.1/7.1 outputs of general media based cards. Do you think there'd be problems with decoding movie audio for 2 channel...
I have a 150GB Raptor right now and was just curious what I would need to buy to see a noticeable upgrade in performance. I know the 640GB WD drives will offer better transfer rates but does that make up for slower access times? I might upgrade if I can do it for $100 or less but if I'd need...
So I was asked to sell an AMD cpu but having never owned an AMD based pc, I have no knowledge of their hardware. Can you guys help me identify this processor? I think it's a Socket 939, 4800+ Toledo but I just want to make sure. I've also checked eBay and the prices seem pretty high, from what I...
So I'm nearing the end of my 2 year contract and was wondering how many of you actually make it to two years before replacing your phone? I'm pretty rough with my phones so I haven't ever had a phone last more than a year since my first two Nokia bricks. How long do your phones last?
So up 'til now I've been backing up everything on my hard drives by simply copying new files, file by file to another hard drive at the end of every week and replacing any file that has been updated since the last backup. This is getting ridiculously repetitive however, so I was wondering if...
So I've been looking for a program that will automatically download album art (Much like what Itunes does but for general use such as Foobar playback) but so far the search has turned up nothing. Are there any good programs that do this?
