    Looking for assistance in planning an HTPC.

    Heh, the two Antec PSUs have this wonderful "feature" of there being no power cable, which is why I had the Rosewill over them. That case/psu combo looks good though, I missed that when I was looking. Will two 120mm side fans really cool better than a 90mm intake fan and 2x 60mm outtake fans...

    Looking for assistance in planning an HTPC.

    Alright, after some time I've ended up at this possible build. I'd appreciate some input or criticism on it. Also, if anybody could confirm for me that my processor alone is enough to handle 10bit~h264 1080p video I'd be thankful. Case Thermaltake VF6000BWS $80.99 $19.99...

    Looking for assistance in planning an HTPC.

    Thanks, that helps a lot. Looks like I should aim for approximately ~600$ being my final checkout price. I'll probably gonna skip out on the ssd and also run win7 since I'm fairly positive I can get a copy for free from a friend or the uni. Since I want an hdmi out I'll probably want to go...

    Looking for assistance in planning an HTPC.

    So, I'm an executive member of the anime club on my college campus. I want to put together an htpc for club usage but I don't really know what quality level of components I need to aim for. I've put together my own computer before, but that was for gaming so I just bought the best stuff that I...

    AMD HardOCP GamExperience Tournament - July 16th

    I'm guessing they messed up their wording. A CP match that only went until one team captured the starting neutral point would be pretty lousy. I'm guessing they mean +3 off start, which would mean capturing all 5.

    TN - IPS - TN or IPS-IPS-IPS eyefinity project?

    I've never had any problems with side views of my TN panels.. it's always the vertical that disappoints me.

    Official Statement Regarding PS3 Hacking

    Demon's Souls, MGS4/MGO are two perfect examples imo. I'd probably be able to name more that I've personally finished if I wasn't poor.

    Official Statement Regarding PS3 Hacking

    Then there are horrible tastes involved. There's at least a handful of awesome games. Problem really is that nobody wants to code for the ps3 and just cross-releases, coding for the lowest common denominator.

    Viewsonic

    My 1440x900 viewsonic something has been going strong for a decent amount of years now. I don't know what happened to them, but they used to be good.

    Fake YouTube Video Lands Man in Real Jail

    Song wasn't related to pedophilia at all, and even if it was it doesn't matter. Thread also seems to point to him having their permission to film them.

    Unfortunately for you, the only idiots here are the people like you; people who have no common sense or idea of how the law works.

    Where's all the 1920x1200 monitors?

    The general consensus is that 1.85:1 and 2.35 are better than 16:9 actually. Unless of course the only media you care about are games. I don't know why you haven't stopped spewing nonsense yet. Everyone knows what you're trying to peddle, it's just that we understand that the difference you...

    Where's all the 1920x1200 monitors?

    Perhaps you should read again. The first statement is still wrong. You will NOT have a wider FOV. You will just have a wider physical picture. If you want a larger picture, buy a television. Sadly for you, it makes more sense than what you're saying. A majority of 1080 monitors are less than...

    Where's all the 1920x1200 monitors?

    You're second statement is technically correct, but no; that's not how it works. Monitors that run 1920x1200 are usually bigger than monitors that run 1920x1080. Regardless, that is physical size. It has nothing to do with field of vision. A 24" 16:10 monitor playing something in 16:9 will give...

    Where's all the 1920x1200 monitors?

    lolwut? Besides the fact that anything capable of doing 1920x1200 can just simply display 1920x1080; Most films are recorded and presented in 1.85:1 and 2.39:1.

    Black Ops...really?

    MW2 was more unbalanced, but more polished- and therefore funner to play. In time BO may become a good game but right now it sucks. D:

    new ps3 vs new xbox360

    If a PS3 game looks like ass it's because the developers are being retarded. Usually happens in cross platform release games. If it's not on at least 2 discs in the xbox version, then it's obvious they aren't using the ps3 to its full potential.

    Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review @ [H]

    When playing tf2 since I'm able to utilize the mic boost from the game I have no problems communicating with teammates and the headphones are absolutely superb. If the mic is transmitting crap sound quality that it really does sound like it might just be a defective unit. It would help Corsair...

    Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review @ [H]

    Corsair support forums have multiple people saying corsair said the same thing to them, and that nothing changed after RMAing it. I don't have a sound card so that's one less thing to worry about. It could very well be a problem with switching audio devices though.. when I was first using it...

    Corsair HS1 USB Gaming Headset Review @ [H]

    I had no problem with mic volume the first time I used the headphones, in fact I only needed to put them to like 40% for it to be good- but after I restarted my computer even 100% is inaudible. Win7 64 here as well.

    Re-overclocking?

    It's the lowest ram speed above the rated speed. I didn't buy PC12800 so that I could run it at 1379 or 1034. :( When I was OCing the system the first time, going from 1.64 to 1.66 made the difference between stable and unstable. Eh? If it runs stable on lower voltages.. why should I raise...

    Re-overclocking?

    The voltage setting I was running was Vcore of 1.2v, QPI/DRAM of 1.26875v, DRAM 1.66v, so I doubt I've pushed it too hard. Ambient temperature is possibly different. Going off memory, I'm getting about ~5-8c higher in Real Temp than I was when I checked the stability ~9-10 months ago. (Might...

    Re-overclocking?

    Specs are: Asus P6X58D, I7-920, 6gb OCZ1600 gold, Antec EA750W, Radeon HD5850, Antec 1200, 2x WD 1.5tb green, 1tb Hitachi, CPU cooler is a Cogage True Spirit. OC is just general OC; just brought the cpu up to 3.6Ghz, and the ram to 1724. Haven't touched the finer details of the ram nor the...

    Re-overclocking?

    So, I was overclocking my friends computer by stress testing with Prime95 and to show him that his temperatures weren't high at all I ran Prime95 on my computer. Which of course, resulted in my computer blue screening. Now, I put my computer together about 9 months ago and overclocked it back...

    Broken DIMM slot?

    Brand new board. We tried putting each stick in the second slot and each time it wouldn't boot. Here's the part that confuses me though.. I went and installed CPU-Z and put all 3 sticks in.. and CPUZ is saying that we have 6144MB of ram, and Channels # says dual. I checked for bent pins but...

    Broken DIMM slot?

    Only tried 1 in slot 2 so far, but tried all 3 sticks one at a time in slot 1 and they all worked. Gonna try all 3 one at a time in slot 2 as a last hope measure when my friend gets back from work then.

    Broken DIMM slot?

    My friend is attempting to put together his new rig and all seemed to be going well, except we think the second DIMM slot of his motherboard might be broken. I'm not sure enough myself so I decided to post here for a second opinion. His MoBo is an Asus Rampage 3 Formula, and the RAM we're...

    So whats FFXIV beta like?

    Your issues make me laugh. You have problems with the beta, you don't have problems with the game. Do you honestly expect them to keep the entire UI server-side in retail? Also to the above posts; yes that is an example of an area in beta that isn't opened yet. I just love when people take the...

    Why Tabs Are on Top in Firefox 4

    Ah, another thing I want to ask about chrome/etc users- The tabs are on top and the title bar is gone.. so when you have a lot of tabs open doesn't it make it impossible to use the top thingy efficiently? Like if I need to move firefox from my secondary monitor to my main I just swing my mouse...

    Why Tabs Are on Top in Firefox 4

    Can't figure out how to edit my previous post.. so I guess I'll have to double post. On that subject; this forum is one of the few that doesn't list your tree at the bottom of the thread as well. Every time I want to go from the thread I'm in back to the forum I have to scroll all the way up...

    Why Tabs Are on Top in Firefox 4

    Like the video said, it's preference. You can say that it makes more sense to have the back and forward buttons and address bar under the tabs so that it's associated with them, and it does. But I think it makes sense to have a function that has the same effect on all tabs to be static. Anyway...

    is atis video playback really bad?

    I highly doubt a video card is the reason for video playback problems. Much like changing your sound card isn't going to make your music suddenly full of noise. I vote pebkac error.

    AGP club

    Now that I have a nice 5850 in my new computer, no. But prior to a few months ago I was using my Radeon 9600 pro. I couldn't play anything recent of course.. but it was good enough for ffxi at 1024x768 so it was good enough for me.

    So I just hooked up a 2GB 5850 to my laptop...

    As a commuting college student, I'd much rather have this solution than a desktop+laptop. First off, I have to constantly transfer files between my computers to make sure both of them have my school work so I don't start up Visual Studios and find out I don't have my program. I also am unable to...

    Eyefinity ruined gaming for me!

    Should we ban 2560x1600 also, so that 1440x900 and under players don't undergo the same disadvantage? Spare us from your illogical arguments, please.
