I am trying to make my pc as quiet as possible, and I have archieved a decent level so far. I have a chenming 602 case with 5 nexus 80mm fans rated at 17.6dba, and a zalman cnps9700NT. So far so good. I was thinking that I could change my case so something that could hold a 120mm fan in...

I'll try turning them off. Its weird because I never had this problem before. And yes, its a bad habit. I dont even know how it started.

I've just build myself a new system and installed a fresh copy of WinXP with SP2, and I have one tiny problem that bothers me because I am a freak. For whatever reason, I got used to right-click -> Refresh on the desktop. Sometimes I do it for no apparent reason, and not once but many times. On...

I have one question about this board, is there a way to overclock the ram manually setting the mhz I want it to run at? I remember my old setup allowed me to do this, yet I can't find it on my Dfi (probably because its not there, right?). Thanks.

I have around $250 to upgrade, which is the best card I can get? nVidia this time...

ABIT AV8 SOCKET 939 or MSI 7025-010 K8N NEO2 PLATINUM NFORCE 3 ULTRA SOCKET 939? I can chose between those two, but this will be my first amd setup so I dont know which brand is better. Its an a64 3200+ :D

Well, I have the money...and a water setup would look pretty sweet. But I guess I would be better off buying a new monitor. I just cant decide.

I probably wont OC.

Right now I have a p4 2.4c cooled with a Zalman 7000al-cu, and its running very nicely at 26°C with room temperature of around 19-20°C. I guess those are pretty nices temps, but I was considering getting a watercooling kit (swiftech h20-220-p). But I am not sure. Is the $190 kit worth a few...

Whats the rush pal?

Is it normal for sata drivers to make a little noise? Or am I too paranoid?

I have a p4 2.4c right now, and I get ddr500 ram, I would have to oc the cpu from 200fsb to 250 to use the full ddr500 right? That'd leave the cpu at 3.0ghz... Am I right or am I totally lost?

I guess I will have to oc my cpu to take full advantage of a ram higher then ddr400 right?

I currently have 2x256 ddr400 Kingston HyperX and I want to upgrade to a gb of ram. I was thinking of getting pc4000 ram this time, but I dont know which ones. I have a p4 2.4c on an asus p4p800. I was thinking between Corsair, OCZ and Mushkin. Anyone can suggest any memory?

After reading some threads I guess I could just oc my 2.4c to 3.2 and use the money to get better ram. I have a p4p800 with 2x256 ddr400 hyperX.

I currently have a 2.4c and I want to upgrade. Should I go with 3.2c or 3.2e? I probably wont try overclocking because I dont have a good cooling solution for the cpu, yet.

On a side note, is getting a 19" screen worth it? :D

any comment is welcome.

I've been using my Viewsonic E70 for some years now, and a few days ago I saw a friend's new flat screen monitor (crt), and I just loved it. My current monitor is 17", and I have enough money to upgrade. I dont live in the US, so my monitor selection is limited only to Viewsonic. Could anyone...

Well, but you see, when I formatted and got it all set up, I restarted my PC and it was nearly instant! Shame on this :( The good thing is that I only restart once a week :P So I can live with that.

Nope.

Each time I reboot, if I go to my Control Panel and click local area network configuracion menu my system hangs up for about 30 seconds. Also, after I reboot I usually click on internet explorer, which is set to connect to internet if there is no connection. The problem is that the IE browser...

But does the extra price of the AWs include WinXP with a license? How many people here actually payed for theirs? :P

Some images dont load until I select Load Image, its getting annoying, specially navigating in forums. What could that be due?

I seem to have a small problem. You see, I use IE6 and I usually dont download big files, but yesterday I needed to download knoppix, a 730mb file, and it timed out several times, and other times it just went slow. So I decided to try something I didnt trust, get a download manager. And...

Hmm...here where I live almost everyone with a Maxtor complain about it :-\

I am about to get a new HD, and I have to decide whether it should be a SATA Seagate or a SATA Maxtor. Which is more silent and generates less heat?

I need a small list of words with ware for a paper I have to write :P So far I have hardware, software, spyware, freeware, shareware. What else is there?

Is it any good? My main concern is the stability of this PSU, and the noise level. Is it worth the price? Note: I cant buy any PSU other then the TT one, because here where I live, its either that or a generic one...

If I got a firewall running? I am pretty sure I dont have one enabled, but you can never be too sure. Anything I can do to analize this? I am getting horrible download speeds everywhere :(

At least tell me you dont know :P

I have an ATi 9600xt, and games run fine, everything works perfect. Now I decided to connect my card to my TV (panasonic TC-25P22L, one of those flat ones). Well, the problem is that there is too much flickering, I mean I can see white stripes go down (refresh rate, which I have fixed on my pc...

I currently have a p4 2.4c stock with 2x 256mb ddr400 pc3200 kingston hyperX on a P4P800 and I was wondering if it would be worth to get 2 more of those sticks to have a gig running in dual channel since my mobo supports it. Now, would it be better if I sold mine and then bought 2 sticks of...

I currently have 2 256mb ddr400 pc3200 kingston hyperX in dual channel on a P4P800 mobo and I want to upgrade to a gig of ram. I know my mobo can run dual channel with 4 slots filled. I am not sure if I should buy another 2 sticks of the same ram, or sell my current ram and buy 2 512mb pc4000...

I am about to build my own custom case and I liked yours, altho I dont want to copy :P What I do want to know is how does the case hold together?

I wish I had a CNC :P I am not sure about how I will be cutting it. I am going to see what I can do. Since its my first real mod, I don't expect it to be perfect. But I'll try my best :P

I am about to build myself a custom case and I need to decide if it will be all acrilyc or acrilyc with an aluminum base. I was thinking a 3mm aluminum base and the rest 5mm think acrilyc. Or should I just do the whole case of acrilyc? This will be a desktop instead of a tower. I am about...
