Sorry, but I have checked previous threads, and as usual they have just given me more possibilities. First off, what I'm looking for: 12-14" WS 1.6GHz Core Duo is fine At least 60gb HD GMA 950 graphics would encourage me to not play so many games in school, but any deidicated...

I've been looking at getting a tablet for a while now, and the Satellite R25-S3503 meets both my budget ($1400), has everything I've been looking for (Core Duo, large hard drive/memory, 14" WS, etc.), and I haven't heard a complaint about it yet (other than a sensitive display button, but I can...

http://www.overclockers.com/articles1310/ Another nice couple of pages of thoughts, similar to ProCooling's from a couple months ago, this one by another great water cooling mind (and a [H]), Bill Adams. He makes a couple of new points, and it's definately worth the 3 page read.

I read throught the links on the sticky and many of the last 5 pages of posts, and know a lot more about HTPCs now, but I still don't completely know what I need exactly. Here's my plan: I have some fully functional old hardware (ECS K7S5A, 1600+, 512mb pc2100, fx5200 with 2xvga & S-video...

http://www.overclockers.com/articles1244/ So far there's just first impressions, but there should be some test results posted soon. A lot of people have seen/said this before, but if this pump even gives DDC flow rates, if all of its features work this could be a quick end to the...

After leaving my loop sitting doing nothing for 3 weeks, I diecid to clean it out as part of my ammo box project that I'm currently working on. I'm still going to use the heater core, even if a couple specks of rust dripped out... Yes, that lovely brown coloring is rust particles that...

If youm saw my previous worklog, then you saw me make an incredibly ghetto WCing setup, using among other things, a 5 gallon bucket, a PVC cap & copper waterblock, and several tubes of 5 minute epoxy. After taking this thing to a lan party, I've realized that it just isn't very mobile, even if...

I'm going to my school's lan this Friday-Sunday (lan.hightechhigh.org), and I need a 1/2" Y connector to finish my WC system. I haven't found any place online that will get me the 1 ounce Y shipped by Thursday for under $10, and I haven't found a place locally that has it (I've checked Home...

Ive been having some recent problems with my computer locking or crashing with just regular everyday use, not gaming, and Im pretty sure its the psu. I emailed Newegg about it: On December 29 of last year, I ordered $325.59 of computer hardware in order #xxxxxxxx, including a Forton Source...

I have give the credit for the original idea of a Knex case (at least one that inspired me) to shadowbreaker513, and Ive expanded the Knex case idea into a full case. This is my first case mod, and so far Its going to be a simple enclosure that tries to copy an actual case, why giving the...

....F@H display gives you artifacts.... ....you add 2 mor fans on the side of your heatsink... ....you watercool a 4 year old computer to OC it... Just some of the tings Ive done/am doing in my short overclocking career. 1,031,356 to go!

http://service.futuremark.com/servlet/Index?pageid=/orb/projectdetails&projectType=12&projectId=720308 I just ran 05 for the first time, with the same settings (except clock speed) as wehn I got 11,116 in 03. Is that big of a difference normal? BTW, for those too lazy to click the link, my cpu...

double thread, mods delete

Ive had my Blue storm 500 for about 3 months now, and its voltages have always been tight: 11.84, 5.0x, and 3.304 with very little fluctuation whether idling or under full load. However, today when I booted up without adding anything that hasnt already been there since I first installed the psu...

my brother didn't say it was completely illegal :( still don't know hy it won't do things for me, but that's my poblem, and no on can help me know :( :mad:

A kid at school wants to build his first desktop, on a $400 budget :eek: He already has a monitor, keyboard, mouse, XP, and speakers, but needs everything else. He wants to be able to do a little gaming on it, maybe a little OCing, but nothing major. Help for a future [H]?

Yep, I last did it 6 months ago, but I haven't been able to play cds for about a month, so I'm taking the plunge myself for the first time :D My brother's done it for me for the last 2 years that I've had my own computer, but I did reformatt about 100 of my sister's schools laptops this summer...

Ok, Xmas is done now, so I can buy my own stuff now without feeling guilt :D Anyways, I had pretty much landed on the Samsung 997DF for about $200 from a site from pricegrabber, but when I looked for the 997DF on pricegrabber, it came up with a couple other very similar models, including the...

System's in sig, memory soon to be 2x512 Patriot 3200 2-2-2-5, psu soon to be Fortron Blue Storm 500, hd soon to be Maxtor 120 gig 8mb buffer. I just want to know, I haven't seen any gt deals recently, so would the better buy be an nu w/ a good bundle for $250-$270 or a gt for $400 hopefully...

Has no real point except kill as much stuff as you can without dying/running out of ammo: kinda like the original :). Controls are kinda weird at first, but you get used to them. http://www.t45ol.com/events/necromanthus/doom.html

Ok, I finally saved up a ton of money (a grand for a 15 year old aint to shabby) and I want to start upgrading all the old stuff on my computer. But I'm not like everyone else, becasue I'm 15 and my parents dont get why their son wants to upgrade his birthday present from last year (FX 5200). I...

Fun game [edit: now on Newgrounds] http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=50323 My bests: 6 dead, 2 injured/2 dead, 7 injured It's fun!

I've looked around the forums, buit I can't find enough info just for me :P Anyway, I'm going to a lan party a week from friday, & am thinking of getting an lcd before then. Why criteria is, I dont exactly need a super good LCD, just one to go to lan parties, & then use it @ home as well, since...

Just got some cash, & it needs to get spent, so I'm thinking of spending it on some good gaming headphones. Currently I have no mic, which isn't a real problem, but I'm going to a lan party soon & it'll be handy there. Currently I use either my z-640s (which most people say suck) or my Sony...

Ok, I posted a while back about this with my old cd-rw drive, which would open, close, & flash lights, but wouldn't read the disc at all. So, I just stuck in a new drive, it does the same thing. And yes, the cables are ALL attached correctly, so my brother says my default drivers are screwed...

I got some z640s for 50 bucks 6 months ago, & I've never heard the 'super good' $300 z680s or higher. So my question is, how much do my z640s suck, as they sound good to me & I mostly play games, so I need to get new memory + vid card + psu, so should I upgrade my speakers at all? I dont use...

I'm just curious, system in sig, & it's not a question for me whether or not to upgrade, but when for me. Basically, how much will framerates/3Dmarks go up by w/ some low latency 3200?

I don't know what happened, I haven't moved my computer around or anything, but under My Computer, my drive doesn't show up, and whenever I put a disk in, I get a 'disk not in drive. please insert & click retry' message. Help?

Yep, it's here on newegg, w/ 40 votes@ 5 star average. Specs: 0.264 mm pitch 400 cd/m2 brightness 450:1 contrast ratio 1280x1024 native res [H]ot!!!! :D Edit: Just saw anther on newegg: a Rosewill Same specs, but $11 more :eek:

I was looking around Newegg, & I saw this set of OCZ 3500 2x512mb @ 2.5-3-3-7 for $209. I've heard of some mixed feelings w/ OCZ memory, but this looks like a really good deal, & the reviews say it's halfway decent OCing memory. Get it?

I'm about to get some new memory & a 6800gt (probably), so I was thinking I should probably OC my 3000+ as well. Anyway, I have a K8V SE Deluxe mobo, w/ no agp/pci lock, so I was thinking of putting it up to ~2.2ghz. So: for gaming/ getting a little OC, should I get some low latency 3500 & just...

dlt plz

ILike the title says, I've got a weird thing just truning on my computer. This happened after my brother rewired my comp, so I suspect it may be that, but listen to what I have to do to turn it on, a 4-step process: 1: With psu switch on 'I' down, push computer power button for 4 seconds, let...

Cant believe no ones said this, @ newegg.com, $285, with 2 dvi ports. Who wants one?

Yup, 2 x 256 pc2100s, one is just standard sdram 2100, the others a spec tek incorporated 2100. It runs 3dmark 01 better, but am I sure I have this right? Im looking @ cpu-z, under memory, showing the cas latency @ 2.0, ras# to cas delay @ 2, ras# precharge @ 2, and cycle time @ 5. BTW, Im a...

Just saw rhis @ newegg.com, it's XMS @ 2-3-3-6, lots of reviews say it does 2-2-25 easy. Good deal? I think I may just get this myself. :D p.s. - The [H]ardware guide for D3 suggests really expensive low latency Corsair stuff, and this is $120 cheaper than the stuff corsair gave for testing ;)

System in sig, I'm willing to wait a little while, but I would like a 6800/x800, 3200 or higher mem, and at least a 430 watt psu. I've looked around the forums, & I'm swarmed over decisions. I'm only a gamer, thats why I went AMD over Intel, so I'd like the best performance, but I wont OC, as...

Just got back for a nice vacation, but with not online access @ all :eek: Anyway, I have seen the D3 #'s, looking good, but nothing else really. Anything new in 2 weeks?
