I recently hooked up my stereo receiver to my pc because I wanted some better speakers than some cheap $10 computer speakers before. So right now I have a Yamaha RC-30 receiver (probably late 80's or early 90's) hooked to my pc through the stock motherboard sound port, through 2 brand new 10...

Well my mom won a 19 inch philips tv. Now its not a specific "computer monitor" but you can use a computer hookup. and I want to use it as my primary monitor as its nicer than my samsung 19 inch and it has built in speakes that are probably better than my speakers i have now. But the problem...

Ok so my hdmi cable finally arrived today and i put her on and the quality of the image seems far less then the standard DVI. It seems like the colors are all weird also, it just doesnt seem right. Also when i put it into full 1080p the computer screen doesnt even take up the whole screen. If...

i made this recently and im very very pleased with the results, the only thing im kinda mad about i cut the wrong way and now the "ipod touch" doesnt face the outside. http://www.instructables.com/id/Free-iPod-Touch-Dock/ instead of using double sided tape use super glue, my double sided tape...

has anybody ever done this? I just got back a brand new 3870 because i had to rma my old card because it has a chipped GPU, and when i took a look at my accelero there are little nicks where each corner of the gpu were and i would like the sand those out just for safe measures. So how do you...

ok so today i just gt back my Diamond 3870 from diamond it was in for an exchange because my old one somehow had a chip on the GPU core and it was causing the video to turn different colors. The chip was on the corner too which makes me think it was from my accelero being over tightened or...

ok well recently i ordered these cheap rosewill fans for $4 each and they move a ton of air but they are mighty loud, i cant stand it. I can barely hear my lian-li fans and i want something as quiet or quieter than those while looking good. i was thinking about the aerocool turbine fans. But on...

Well Today I noticed my card (Diamond 3870) was running hotter than normal at idle (35 degrees C as aposed to 25) so i took it out like i normaly do, i ground myself before i touch anything, take off my accelero s1 and put some more arctic silver on it, put it back on, and..... its not getting...

picked this baby up for $50 at BB. Not really any problems but the side fan that goes perpendicular to your videocard did not fit because i have an accelero s1. so i took the fan out hooked it to another and mounted it below the card and lowered the steel mounting plate for the fan to hide the...

I think today i am going to BB to pick one of these up. My question is, is it possible to flip the motherboard tray and back panel so everything is upsidedown? because i have heard that some psu's cpu power connector isnt long enough.

Ok so im a first time overclocker, i read the how-to guide above on the sticky. Also my uncle was over and hes really really good with computers and he told me i really only needed to raise my frequency. So i found that my CPU (4500) over clocks like this: 11.0x200=2.2ghz which is stock speed...

I know theres this program out for nvidia cards called nHancer that boosts graphics in games you have installed. Though nHancer is only for nvidia, is there a program like this for ATI users?

i downloaded SP1 off microsofts website because when i search for updates in control panel it doesnt show up. So when i start to install it, on the first screen where it says "your computer might restart several times" it gets almost done and i get this error thats like an internal error number...

ok so i decided to order an Artic Cooling Accelero S1 for my Diamond 3870.Its just getting too hot for my liking, and the accelero S1 is only $25. So my friend told me that i should use thermal adhesive for the raminks instead of the stuff that came on it. But ive seen in a lot of pictures that...

Ok im going to be building a new comp for my mom soon, and im going to go with vista. So what package would i have to get so i would be able to install it 2 times?

I recently purchased the coolermaster GeminII. For $25 i am by far impressed. I do not have any installation pictures as i was too excited to get this baby on. The temps are great on a E4500 2.2ghz and coolermaster elite 330 case. Hell, i bet the temps could be lower if i had a better...
