    I decided to reformat today, after I botched a driver update for my GTX 260, and the fact that i has been awhile since I have reformatted. When I go to boot from my windows CD, I would recreate the partition and load the files, but when I went to load from my HDD for the first time, I would...

    Worth it to buy a Blu Ray Drive?

    I noticed on Newegg the other day a Blue Ray/DVD/CD drive popped up for 169.99, and at first I thought wow what an awesome deal. I have a 32" Samsung LCDTV which I could easily hook up to my computer to watch movies in hi-def, but is the drive really a worthwhile purchase? I never payed...

    Just bought a thinkpad T61, and it idles with 90 processes?

    Is this large amount of processes normal for a notebook like that to idle with? On my desktop i only idle at maybe 35-40, less than half of that. Do I need all of these "Thinkvantage" things running? If not, is there a way to disable them at startup?

    Can an SN27P2 power a 8800gts?

    Any problems with the following potential set up?

    Shuttle case/mobo HDD Vid card RAM CPU That's what I am currently considering buying. I tried making the 5200+ with the 1MB cache fit, but with that instead it pushes the price just out of my range :( The 65W 4200+ helps keep power consumption down, so its not such a bad trade off...

    So I wake up and my 204B is dead?

    Yesterday morning I got up and come down to notice my 204B is turned off (which is unusual because i just let it go into powersave). I turn it back on and the screen turns grey for a few seconds, then fades to vertical color lines (which are the colors of what used to be my background). I...

    Looking to finally switch to an LCD.

    For a long awhile I have refused to buy an LCD because of their price and slight lack of sharpness when compared to CRTs, but now that the dust has settled I think I will actually buy one, but I am not quite sure as to which I want to get. What I do know is that I love the space of...

    Anyone find a mirror to the new WoW Patch?

    I don't know if the mirroring is legal (IIRC it is?) so if it isn't, I'll scrap that and just post new discussion on the patch. The new armor models look :cool: as hell, especially the pally model :D

    Exactly how bad are LCDs in gaming compared to a CRT?

    For this Christmas I asked if I could split the cost of a Dell 2001FP with my parents. I was thinking about moving my Envision 19" CRT over to my secondary position and using the LCD as my primary, since I would be looking at it most often it would ease up the stress on my eyes greatly. I also...

    Considering getting a SN25P for putting it on water.

    How feasible will it be for me to achieve this? I plan on putting in most of my existing parts (RAM CPU raptor) and getting a 7800gt and putting both the CPU and GPU on water. I went over to frozenCPU and did a quick calculation and got about $300 for a decent loop for them both, but I have...

    Looking into buying a new mouse (gaming mouse)

    It's up between either a nice Razer one (probably the Diamondback with blue LEDs), or the Logitech MX518. I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse right now and I love it, but they don't make the model anymore. Does the Diamondback have side buttons that can be used to go back and forth on internet...

    Safe removal process of stock s939 HSF?

    The last two times I removed the hsf off my cpu (well, off of the motherboard I should say, since the cpu came with it both times) the CPU has been coming with it. Did I apply too much Arctic Silver5 or do they always stick to the CPU that much? I know twisting the HSF can break the adhesive...
