    moving the windows default location of the Program directory?

    have been playing around with a new build for the last couple of weeks and as a lark I installed the OS on an Iram 3gb card to see how things went. The install is lighting quick, and I have been trying to install the program software onto my second drive, a 150gb WD Raptor. The problem is, some...

    FS: Abit AW9D Max Mobo

    I have no need of this. It was purchased for a project that was never implemented. The board was set up, tested for about 4 hours, shut down, pulled, and has sat on my bench for about the last 2 months. Comes with everything I can put my hands on (the shop is currently doubling as a photo...

    Good parts and prices in here

    I got stuck by two potential builds over the last week and with an 8+ month pregnant wife it is impossible to hold these parts on spec. So I am going to have to send them to new homes and my loss is your gain. I am self insured so we can't have this kind of money sitting around on a shelf...

    Any Experience with the Thermalright HR-03 VGA Heatsink?

    I am wondering if anyone here has used one of these passive cooling systems on an X1900xt or the likes of it. I am quite interested in how well this thing performs. It could well be a great general purpose alternative to the stock noise generator that came with the X1900XT. I am particularly...

    My initial thoughts on Bluegears b-Enspirer

    I picked up one of these last week almost on a whim wanting to upgrade from my onboard sound (AT8-32X motherboard). I had not used a soundcard since I parked my Santa Cruz a few years back due to a faulty output jack. I gotta tell ya, I am stunned. The card installed very easily...
