~10 month old ASUS GTX670-DC2-2GD5 $225 shipped OBO
It's already packed (stupid me) so I don't have pics, but I just installed it, used it, and packed it. There was no rough-housing involved. Works perfectly and, as far as I could tell, no cosmetic damage.

I only have room for one card in my gaming machine and I game at 2560 x 1600. What are people's thoughts on the 690 vs the 780? Of course, I will overclock as much as I can so keep that in mind.
From what I can tell, the 690 is the best choice for the most powerful solution, but my main...
I've been thinking of making a case with an upside down mobo tray and I was wondering why no one else has done it before. Then I realized there could be issues with weight of heatsink and any discrete cards could be at risk of falling out. Then I thought further and realized those could just be...
This is my first foray into the world of RAID cards. I purchased an LSI 9260-8i only to discover that I am having one helluva time trying to get it recognized by my motherboard. I forget what I am using now, but I think it's the ASUS P8Z77-M PRO. I am trying to get 7/8x Samsung F2/F3 1.5TB into...

Everyone hates on RocketRaid cards from Highpoint, but I just want the cheapest option for being able to hot swap hard drives between my data storage machine and my HTPC. Will the RocketRaid cards do?
EDIT:
Oh I think I see where people are getting confused. I do not yet have a server machine...

Looking for advice on a future build that runs as cool and power-efficient as possible while still running without a hiccup or delay. I also need a case that is easy to work with (i.e. don't need to take apart the whole case to switch HDDs or PCIE cards, etc.). The case should have as high of...

Like new. Mild overclock to 850/1700. Can do more... I've had a stable 900/1800 pretty easily.
Runs fast and hard on all the games I play on my Dell U3011 and allows for max settings. Exchanging for Xfire 6950 for more power to be able to play Metro 2033 and for purposes...
Is it just me or does this case seem to be amazing? (Doesn't look as sexy as some other SFF cases, but the practicality of it is the main attraction.)

So I purchased a combination of RAM, Motherboard, and CPU. The seller, for the most part, provided decent disclosure including lack of I/O shield. However, one thing he forgot to mention was that the RAM had no RAM heatsinks on them.
Now, correct me if I am wrong please so I can learn from my...
Many people are mentioning that their OC'd 5850 has the same performance as a 5870. If that's the case, is there any point for an OCer to purchase the 5870? Wouldn't the debate be more between the 5850 and 5970?
I want to have a private server that my friends can all remotely access. That way, we can all trade ideas and plans and legal forms for our business and non-profit and it would be a great way to share pictures (I am an amateur photographer) and music (I have two music production friends who like...
Anyone know of any GOOD wireless keyboards that can still function in BIOS while having rechargeable batteries? The Logitech K350 functions in BIOS but requires AA batteries which really annoys me. Something with media controls would be nice so I can use it for my HTPC.

I want to build a computer for data storage purposes and maybe turn it into a server later. For now, it will just be part of a LAN and be on 24/7 for anyone to access.

For some reason, my Zoom 5615 will not connect to the internet. Is there some reason this would happen? It's a bridge modem for God's sake. It should be automatically connecting through PPPoE, whether through router or direct connection to computer.

What's a good storage server mobo with lots of SATA ports? Like.... 15x SATA ports or something? I want to use the Cosmos S or Cosmos 1000 and have about 10x hard drives and 2 optical drives or so.
Anyone know of a mATX mobo with 2x PCIE 2.0 that is 775? I want to use a Q6700 on an HTPC and something like a 4770 and PCIE soundcard. That requires 2x PCIE 2.0. I can't seem to find any mATX motherboards with two of those slots.
They just seem so gimped... I feel like they barely have enough to be an HTPC or gaming machine. I'm only guessing they can only be used for web surfing and word processing?
I need some input for a build. No budget, technically, but ideally under $1000 for additional parts.
I want an HTPC that isn't purely integrated graphics based because I want to be able to use media players that aren't able to be hardware accelerated.
The only parts I have is the LL V350B...

Anyone know of any cases they could tell me about that have intake cooling that's NOT running through the hard drives?

What are the best monitors for watching movies? Or are TV's just irreplaceable in terms of picture quality and sharp detail? I noticed my monitor wouldn't give me smooth colors. It shows me some graininess even during BluRay movies.
I noticed that a number of you guys were looking for good budget subs... so here's one to consider.
Premier Acoustic PA-120
Good reviews and ~$200 price tag for new. There's a guy selling one used for $150 on Audioholics. Reaches fairly low, has plenty of wattage, and apparently it plays...
Could you guys help point out which of these coolers are the best options for cooling the northbridge on my mobo? I think I can't OC too high due to overheating of the northbridge since I have 4 sticks of RAM.

If I had the money, I would buy this right now, even though I don't need it. It's that good of a deal.
Selling my A900. Excellent condition. Excellent sound via highs and lows. Mids are slightly recessed compared to uber headphones like my K701, but should be a huge upgrade for most people. Super comfortable (one of the reasons I got it in the first place). The fit might be a bit large for small...
I technically don't have a budget, but it would be nice to keep it cheap. The difference between the SG03 and the Qmicra v2 is over $100 now. The V350 and the SG03 are of comparable price.
So now I am torn. Also, both SG03 and V350 have airflow issues: one without inflow and one without...
I want to be able to lug this monitor around during my lanning sessions. Anyone know of a 20" or smaller (preferably 17" being the smallest) monitor that is of good quality? Throw all the possibilities out here please, but I think I am going to try to keep my budget at least under $250 (used).
When do you guys think the 4870 1GB will drop to around $150 or at least under $175? Would that only happen once Nvidia comes out with more competitive mid-performance cards?
