I'm looking to buy a working pair of AMD FX-74 processors please! No cooler or anything else is necessary; I only need the processors. I'd listen if you happen only have one of them, too. EDIT: Would also consider FX-70 and FX-72 pairs My new project is to get a Quad FX system up and...

Hello! I'm looking for a Dell Dimension XPS case of a specific era. I'm looking for the one from the mid/late 90s that was used for the XPS D series: D233 / D266 / D300 / D333 Compared to other Dimension XPS cases, it's a beige case distinguished by two vertical stacks of horizontal vent...

October 2013 Update: PROJECT COMPLETE! View Page 2 for final images, AND visit audio.toddkumpf.com for a video and even more photos & info about each aspect of the project. ---------------------------------- (Original build log below) ---------------------------------- This has been in...

If you've been perusing the 3DFX thread, you may recognize this. I posted there a few weeks ago when I first started the build, but now i'm finally getting around to giving it a home of it's own so I can post some updates. Right before I pulled the trigger on a massive dual LGA2011 build...

Hey guys, Short version: How would I go about adjusting global icon transparency without altering individual .ICO files? In the Windows 7 Classic UI theme (not aero), is there a way to edit the shell DLLs so that any and all .ICO files are displayed with either half transparency or perhaps...

Seems like a pretty simple idea, but I have yet to find a case arranged in this way. Basically I just want a small MicroATX cube type case that lays horizontally, but instead of having the motherboard on the bottom with PSU/drives stacked on top, I want it to be flipped. I want the...

Long shot here, but worth a try! I'm looking for a very specific Matrox Millennium G200. I do not want the dual/quad output variants, I want the original 8MB VGA version with the memory expansion slot. I also need it in PCI, not AGP. And finally, I prefer the SGRAM version, not "SDRAM"...

I am looking for any two Radeon HD5850s. I will buy individual cards as well if the price is right. Hoping to pay =< $150 a piece, but please PM me with offers regardless ;) My only stipulation is that the board has to be black. I've seen many blue 5850s but I am not interested. Needs to...

I'm looking for a large variety of colored and/or UV shaded Molex & other ATX connectors. Performance-pcs.com has a few colors available in sets, but I am hoping to find a more specific shade. I poked around many of the sites listed in the sticky but couldn't find any beyond the few basic...

How deep is the market for pre-built mid/high end machines? I am not talking about taking specific orders or just throwing parts together willy nilly, but rather building something professional only to turn around and sell it. I am interesting in higher end gaming machines, and have the funds...

Before I dive into attempting a window'd HDD mod myself, I'm trying to find some options for HDDs that are manufactured with windows in them already. I know of the WD Raptor X , but are there any others out there? Ideally I am looking for a 2.5'' drive, too. The 2.5'' Raptor does NOT have a...

The nature of my mod requires me to mix an aluminium radiator with copper parts. I have bought some Primochill ICE which is listed as non-conductive and anti-corrosive. I am satisfied with this description of the product, but has anybody here found it to be true from their own experience...

I'd estimate i've built close to 10 ground-up systems in my time, but it has always been for myself or close friends. I took it to the next level on my most recent build by including a water cooling system for the first time, but it really was pretty much entirely for fun. I have no need for a...

Through my research on G5 case modding, I found that 95% of the cases get their back I/O panel and expansion slots all shredded up to match standard ATX motherboards. I want to keep the exterior of the beautiful G5&#8217;s case exactly how it is. My solution? Move the motherboard away from...

Without plugging in and testing something such as a graphics card or RAM module, at what point would you say it is inoperable? If you have left a component out of a static bag, tossed loosely in a big cardboard box shuffling around with other bare components for a couple of years, is it most...

The decision to build a Sandy Bridge system was mostly driven by curiosity and excitement about the 2011 CPU revolution. This is the first time I've had the opportunity to buy (relatively) cutting edge components, and could not resists the bang for the buck delivered by Intel&#8217;s newest...

I just installed my first water cooling loop tonight. I have the XSPC Rasa 750 RS360 liquid kit on my Q9550 @ stock 2.83 ghz, and also added in a Swiftech MCW80 VGA block for my dinky Asus nvidia GT-240. I have an EVGA 780i board. I bled it with the motherboard unplugged for about 45...

Hey guys, just joined. I'm looking for a good tech community, and love how expansive this one seems. Anyway, here is a mod I just finished last night. Surely you&#8217;re at least vaguely framiliar with the USB Doomsday Device Hub at Thinkgeek. It&#8217;s a neat looking box with a sequence...
