Hi!
I recently put together the rig in my sig,
Unfortunately my new apt. does not allow for a desk so I am forced to connect it to my TV and play games via the couch (so be it) and want it tucked away in my current TV stand instead of off to the side.
I need a case that can fit...
I've a U3011 on the way this week and will be hooking it up to my 2GB HIS 6950 (until flashed ;)) and was curious as to the best way to hook it up? It's been a while since I'v gone with new tech, especially with monitors.
HDMI is limited to 1920x1200?
Dual link DVI will achieve max res of the...

None but I don't need an e-peen machine.

Been out of the loop for a while and almost skipped an entire generation of cards, which is pretty rare!
I'm building a new rig and I've tried to be semi conscious about power consumption (less HDDs, more efficient PSU, less fans, etc.) and was thinking that surely I can find a single card...
wait?
My main rig died (see sig) and I'm not having much luck finding out what component bit the dust (leaning towards mobo as I don't get any beeps upon powering or possibly the CPU).
I've a latop to hold me over (not playing anything really where I need a ton of power, though it wouldn't...
I believe my mobo as died (no post beeps, USB ports won't power gear, etc) PSU seems fine as everything turns on, spins up, etc.
My dilemma is I cannot find a MOBO that supports the Q9450 AND Xfire (still using Dual 4870s) anywhere they're out of stock and I am not really wanting to shell out...
My rig finally bit the dust. Powered up fine all lights and fans, keyboard/mouse lights, HDDs spin up, etc.
No beeps. No Post. No video signal.
After one or two restarts the keyboard/mouse cease to light-up (they work fine with my laptop). So I check the USB ports with other gear. The...

I am in need of a laptop that plays games, well - DX10/Vista (subjective)/Quad core/4GB.
Small form factor!
I would prefer it not be Dell or alienware for cost issues, who to turn to?
I'm upgrading from my sig rig to the following:

I'm building two machines based around Intel Core 2 Duo E6850s - I picked up an ABIT AW9D-MAX and some OCZ DDR2 (gold, forgot the number, they're at work) 2GB sticks (4GB total for each machine) and I can't for the life of me get the mobos getting past the fact I don't have floppies (based on...
Installed a pair of x1950xtx this evening, and I had sound through my X-fi, discovered I had a '?' regarding the ATI T200 Unified Stream Driver, I let windows find the driver, it found it, I rebooted, no sound, my rig doesn't even see the soundcard listed anymore (comes up as no device...
I currently run an 80GB 10K Raptor HDD, it's fast, just what I needed at the time, and took over one year to need more space.
So now I am faced with, well needing more space and need some opinions.
Add another, 80GB Raptor keep them in a non-raid 0 configuration: One HDD for Windows and...
So I pick up the Antec 900 - hated the build quality - floppy tray was a nightmare.
Returned it for a P180b - on sale for $98!
I have an Antec Neo 550w PSU (and a PCP&C silencer 750 I picked up last night as well). The 750 will not fit in the Pb180, not matter what, the Antec fits well...
I have to give up my office space =( for a new baby =D, which means I must move my desk/PC out to the living room running out of space). I would have opted for using it with my 50" TV, but the wife wants to be able to hang out in the same room (she watches TV which I do very little of and me on...
I'm running pretty tight as is (see sig), it was a stretch getting my Audio card wedged between the Xfire cards and the slot at the bottom my case is taken up by my firewire card (which I use). With another card to add (I will get one) I will have to lose FW. Anyone eslse facing this?
I haven't had any issues with my current rig (see sig) but I wanted to find out a way to see what my rig is actually consuming to see if I need a bigger PSU.
Most calcs I have found on the web put me under 550w (around 520w), but with little overhead.
I'm setting up my new rig tonight, provided the UPS man actually delivers!
ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe
NEC ND-3550A DVD+/-RW
2x ATI x1800XT (Crossfire)
AMD X2 4800+
Patriot 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200)
I have an additional 1GB of Corsair XMS DDR 433 (PC3500 I think) 512MB x2
Obviously...
I'm going to pick up an X2, but I don't know which one!
I'm not going to overclock (unless I can do it easily, no water and if an improved HS/F will do the trick).
Is the 4400 the sweet spot? 3800?
So I hear in passing (reliable) that there is going to be yet another delay (past February 23rd) on the arrival of the RD580.
I want to build my rig! I have my Xfire boards all set and ready to go, just need to buy mobo/cpu/ram and I'm set. Would it be stupid not to wait for a sure thing?
I'm building a new rig in the next few days and I'm torn between processors =)
Obvioulsy the 3900 is the best bang for you $$ as far as overclocking, which I haven't been into in a while (running an intel/asus P4PE so not much wiggle room).
Anyway, is it just a waste for the 4800 over the...
I'm building a new rig and had a RAM question.
Old RAM:
Corsair XMS CMX512-3500C2 512MB DDR434 x2
I'm moving from a P4 to AMDx2 (4800 me thinks) and a DFI Mobo.
Would it be better to buy an additional matched pare if identical ram (to the old pair) or to buy a match pair of 1G...

I'm currently running a P4 3.06 and I am switching out to a PCIE/SLI setup.
My question is, which AMD CPU would best the P4? I'm leaning towards an X2 as I do other things than just play games, but I won't lie, I use the rig for gaming 80% of the time.
I'm running:
ASUS P4PE
P4 3.06 (533fsb)
1GB Cosair CMX512-3500C2 DDR433 x2
Antech TruePower 550w PSU
ATI 9800xt
10K SATA drive (forgot the brand, lost the paperwork)
My 9800xt's fan is dying (it gets louder and louder each day) and I would like to upgrade to an SLI rig (eventually)...
I'm not overclocking my P4 3.02GHz, but i want to keep it cool and keep the noise down.
I'm using an older Coolermaster Case (ATCS 200 model w/Exhaust hole on the top; currently blocked off for noise reduction) and the stock Intel HS/Fan combo. Is there anything quieter than this that either...
