I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my head wrapped around what I should be aiming for component wise for this theoretical build. With something around a 270x level of video card... what's the general consensus on the i5 vs the i7?

Hello all, I'm looking for some opinions on using a mini itx to drag to the occasional lan party. Wondering if anyone has had a chance to play with one of these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157531 Not finding much in the way of reviews out there.

I'm looking for something to make the CEO happy with his second monitor. He keeps it off to the side in portrait. Don't need any gaming level resolution or anything. Just an HDMI input and some way to mount it to an adjustable arm. Thanks for any help.

So looking at the prices, does a 760 offer enough performance increase to justify 65-70$?

My home box died. Eh, it was old anyway. x4blck. I'm not exactly rolling in money and I specced out a basic machine that I think will do fine performance wise for me. I do game, but I'm no longer in the more more more more gotta have more! category. Is the 8320 decent? games I've...

My box died and I'm building a new one, do you any of you know if there will be an issue fitting a gtx760 into a raven rv02? My elderly 6870 is a pretty tight squeeze.

Hello all, I'm trying to dive into tuners and figure out what I need to get basic cable to the PC, and possibly squirt it out of a projector via the video card. Where I'm doing this has Suddenlink cable if that makes any difference. I don't know if I need something that works with...

As title says, I've got a slowly decaying x3 710. Had to disable the third core to get some stability out of it. That particular core was idling at 50% activity. :( A bit too much voltage trying to get to 3.6. Oh well. The x6's seem to have dried up pretty thoroughly. Still a few X4's...

I'm a super newbie... so don't beat me too hard. I decided to start up a little project to refresh myself before summer semester starts again. So I picked a blackjack program, and java... just cause. :p At any rate, I've managed to create a deck of 52 cards in a Hash Map, but I'm not sure...

Anybody else working. 40 hr job and going for a cs degree? or am i just insane? tips? tricks? I'm around the end of year two I would say.

Upgrade from an x3 710. SB aint happening, neither is BD. Any real reason to go for the 1100? I'd rather have the black edition for once, but I can handle OC the bclk way. Would like to have the extra cores to toss at virtual machines.

Next week I'm tasked with sprinkling our business with wifi. The spiky haired goobers that wear the ties have decided that something made by cisco or the like, designed for a business is just silly and they want me to sprinkle consumer grade APs all over the place instead. :mad...

Are there any cases like this? I'm having some trouble finding them if there are.

Is an enclosure with ducts feasible for a WC setup? Think a box, rad suspended in the middle somewhere, with ducts for the push/pull? I know fuck all about this stuff and am just curious.

So, I'm thinking of getting a new processor. To go along with it, provably a case and quiet heatsink for once. I've got experience with the xclio windtunnel, and i really like the giant box fans it passes off as system cooling. They're very quiet and push plenty of air. Since obviously I...

I'm currently running on an x3 710, stock speeds paired with a 5870 8 gigs of 1333 in a gigabyte ma770 ud3.... something something board. The x3 has been a stupendous little workhorse, but i'm finding myself with some... twitchiness these days. And i'd like some processing power to toss at...

specs: gigabyte ma770-ud3p 500w ps 4 gigs of ddr3 8800 gts 320 amd phenomII x3 all stock clocked Until recently I was using a 26" 720p tv as a monitor. It was great, and those low end specs could push it with no trouble. I recently acquired a 42" 1080p set and for most things the old gts...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc. Office work, with the caveat that this user tends to wind up with a blue million processes running in the background. antivirus, picture software, blackberry software, etc etc. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and...

As the title says, I know things are quite a bit different from the 6.xx in the 30 days of linux article, I'm sure they have changed some in the 30 days of osx one as well.
