So I've been trying to find a way to manually control my laptop's gpu fan, but I've been running into a situation in which the new geforce drivers will not recognized my video card as valid for the update. Is there any workaround for this? Is there another way to control my laptop's gpu fans...

So, I'm making the leap (again) and re-switching to Mac. I had a G4 Power Mac back in '03 and wasn't pleased so I switched back but now I'm looking to switch to a MBP and I'm psyched. My question is, I hear there is a MBP update coming soon-ish. I know it is an opinion call, but I'm torn...

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure it's possible but I'm wondering what type of setup I would need to use my computer as a HDTV-quality TiVo. Basically I want to record the shows I would normally watch in HD for viewing later and/or again. No TV Tuner card I've really ever had was even halfway decent...

I'm wondering, is there any good monitor out there under $1000 that will sub as an HDTV? I'm trying to get something that will fully show me the beauty of my xbox360 but I'd like a new monitor as well... its a tough decision. any suggestions?

I'm looking for a good, compact laptop. One of those little 12.1" buggers. I'm going to be using it as a Software Engineering student mainly taking notes and stuff. I've got a 1.0p3 Dell Inspiron 4100 but I don't think it is going to fit the bill much longer.

I am looking to install a flavor of Linux onto my laptop for this coming college year but I need a flavor that will work with a Microsoft 802.11b PCMCIA card,... any ideas? I also am wondering if Linux has any good programming support as I'm going into a Software Engineering major and would...

At the place I work, the computer has no DVD drive, so I want to DivX some of my favorite movies and take them in with me. But I haven't found a decent method to doing this. Any help from those out there? I honestly have no interest in doing this for any illegal reason, just wanna watch...

I'm trying to decided whether or not I want to drop the money on a Lian Li 70/71 so I want to get an idea of the finish on them since I've never seen one close up. So is anyone out there with one willing to take a closeup shot of the powerbutton area to sell me on Lian Li's greatness? thx...

small VGA LCDs? Anybody know where I can get a small VGA LCD for fairly cheap? I'm looking for sub 14". thx :D (I guess I could settle for ones that are easily moddable into vga too hehe)

I've got a 1979 Nikon EM Can I use AF lens on a MF camera if they're the Nikon F-Style Bayonet mount? I've never really thought about it, but I'm looking to get a 28-85 lens and all the local places only sell AF lenses. Lemme know thanks. :)

Hey guys, I recently bought this stuff at BestBuy but now I'm having huge financial problems so I need to get rid of it. It is all in 100% working order as it was purchased one week ago. BestBuy with their stupid return policy won't take it back for anything other than store credit because I...

Is there any way to get nice clear resolution with composite cable for my PS2? I want to be able to hook my ps2 to my puter for gaming action, but its blurry as all hell.

I'm wondering if it really lives up to it's name. I'm thinking about getting it in conjunction with a Zalman UltraQuiet PSU, a VGA Silencer, and a CPNS7000AlCu... thoughts?

In a PC70/71/75 can you fit a 2x80mm res in the spot above the PSU? I'm asking because I wanna delve into WC and I wanna buy a new case so I'm thinking about doing it all at once. Thanks :)

For my Pentium4 2.6 on Abit IS-7 Thermal Right 94 or 97 with 92mm fan with Vantec Stealth vs. Zalman CNPS7000A-Alcu Grr, I've heard that you have to remove the mounting bracket when you use the Thermalright ones and you don't for the Zalman, so that might be up my alley... I don't...

I don't have a window on this case so it doesn't *really* matter, but i just wanted it clean so I had piece of mind. Yes I know the "Sleeving" job on my video card's cables looks like crap,... but hey, whatcha gonna do. All I used was a roll of a red duct tape lol. Old: New:

I usually order from FrozenCpu but I see now that they are really really on the high end of prices even though I love em so. I'm looking to be buying a whole bunch of new parts for my computer so I can really fix up the cooling in my case. Any input is appreciated, thanks :D

I'm doubting it with the non-removable harddrive set-up the way it is.

Does a window block sound as well as a solid panel does? I'm going to try to build a quieter computer case setup (currently running an antec clone with 6 fans + psu + 2 hds + p4 fan and its noisy) but I'd like to get an Antec 7x case with window so I can have a little bit of flare (I'm getting...

I'm running a 9800pro and a 2.6c P4 and I'm only getting just over 14,000... I see people running systems like mine and pushing 17k,.. I'm wondering what I should do to up my performance.

My pc now isn't ultra loud but it's loud enough to irritate me when I go to sleep so I want to build a super-quiet computer that will also allow me to OC my various components. So what I need suggestion for is the following: New Case (I've thought about the 'quiet' LianLi PC-73) Fans to...

And I want to know how long I should go before OCing it. It's 2.6c and I'm running at about 36c idle on stock air right now... 42c when I crank my heat up in my room and I've never seen it above 45c load. I also want to know about how high 2.6s are expect to go 'optimally'. My other...

Hey guys, I'm currently using a Volcano9 on my AMD 2100 and it's loud as a vacuum cleaner. I'm wondering what I could buy that would be good cooler wise but more importantly quiet. I'm going water in a few months, but i dont mind shelling out the quick bucks to be able to sleep again...
