I'm looking for more of a boombox. I'm hoping I can get something under $50. Doesn't need a headphone jack, or need to be battery powered. I'm using it in the house.
I am looking for a fairly inexpensive radio/cd player that possibly has mp3 playing capabilities. I haven't purchased a radio in years, and was wondering if anybody here could help me out. It doesn't have to have super high quality sound, just something that sounds good to the untrained ear...
I bought BFBC2 through the steam sale and have been playing single player. I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but seems like it will be hard for a new guy. If there is anyone out there with experience that would want to give me some tips in-game let me know! My steam name is F[heart][heart]
Hey guys. A bunch of nice people helped me build my core i7 rig, now I was wondering if you could help me overclock it. I've got a core i7 920 (D0) stepping, p6t mobo, 6 gigs of gskill RAM, and a xigmatek darknight cooler. Here is a link to the thread with my parts...

Hey Danny, would you mind commenting on my thread? http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1420083 I know everyone has good input, but I was wondering if you could address the video card I posted compared to yours. Also if the RAM, and either mobo you recommended (microcenter and newegg)...
I just read the article on the front page that evaluated different cpus, including the i7. They said the sweet spot would be overclocking to 3.6. With the RAM suggested, would it be sufficient to get to the 3.6 they are talking about? Also, I really dont have any huge necessities for...
Danny, thanks for all the great advice. Id say Ill either get the original motherboard you recommended or the Asus P6T SE Intel X 58 ATX Motherboard from newegg. To you, would it be worth it to pay the extra money to get the original mobo you posted?
Should I be getting an aftermarket...
Thanks for the replies everyone. I have a question about motherboards. I see this X58 Pro 1366 ATX Motherboard is only $175 after rebate http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0307150 . Would I notice a big performance hit if I purchased this instead of the one...

Sorry to hijack a thread, but would this power supply work with the setup that he wants? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015
Thanks for the responses guys. I'm going to take a look at the monitor sometime soon. I am a little concerned about the scratches on the screen. I'm going to bring my laptop to check it out-- I read that there is a nokia screen test you can use. If it fails any of these tests is it not worth...
Hi guys. I found a person locally that has an FW-900 monitor that was manufactured Dec of 2000. He says there are a few minor scratches on the screen, and the case has no cracks at all. The monitor was just used for personal use at home. Do you know what a fair price to pay is for this...
Hi everyone. I've only had a CRT monitor and I've got a few questions about this monitor. I've heard that when you run games in their non-native resolutions on an LCD, the quality decreases. Has anyone run any games in resolutions under the native resolution of this monitor, and if so how did...
Hey everyone-- I've skimmed through this thread and have a few questions. I was thinking of getting a 22 or 24 inch LCD. Mainly I would be using it for gaming (Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, CS, Quake Live) /surfing the web. What do you guys think about this monitor compared to the BenQ E2200HD or...
Hey everybody. It's getting pretty close to Black Friday and some deals seem to be going on already. I looked in the Hot Deals area and they have this stuff in there at the moment:

Hey guys. I found one of these about 70 miles from me on Cragislist. Are there any questions I should be asking the seller? I've tried searching for a similar post like this, but haven't found anything. Thanks for the help!
It seems like you guys like the e8400 over the e8500. Is the e8400 superior to the e8500? I see that there isn't too much difference in price. I've already got a DVD drive so I wouldn't need to get a new one. I'm still looking into a monitor. I'm wondering if I got a 22 or 24 inch...
I updated the original post to include the names of the parts. I can't seem to find the model number on the DELL LCD monitor I played Call of Duty 4 on. Could the lagginess be caused by running the game at 800x600 (since the computer isn't able to run CoD 4 any higher), and the desktop...
Hi guys. I have some questions about upgrading my computer.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Etc
This will be mainly a gaming machine. Id like to play games like Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, BioShock 2 etc.
