I voted yes, sign it. There is so much more to having a working relationship with the card manufacturers than just getting review samples early, vs paying for them. Communication is a two way street, and you can provide them feedback and have some (surely limited, but still valuable) input into...

I just did, I don't have many games right now but I have GTA IV so I ran that. Looks sweet! I almost have to move my head around to see everything. Makes my vid card work hard though... Though I must say the monitor is better to me for things like photo viewing/editing, the way it shows photos...

I'm powering my 30" with a mini displayport port on my GFX card, but my monitor has a displayport input as well so I don't need the active mini-displayport to DVI adapter. Don't be confused, the cable you mention will work. Though I would suggest you get a 6ft one, or however short you can...

Wow, I thought I wasn't a noob but I didn't even realize my Vid Card's DVI slots were not the same. But like I said, on one of them the monitor didn't even show anything. I'll go make sure tonight and verify. Doing some research I'm pretty sure I was using the Dual DVI port (the one further...

Hi all, I wanted to share my monitor issue in case someone has experienced it as well or to maybe help others in the future. I just received my new HP ZR30W, plugged it into my 6970 and can't get the resolution to go up to 2560 x 1600. I installed the monitor driver, both from the CD and online...

Since my original post I have made a few simple mods. Like I said earlier, I put a fan beside the GFX card to keep air moving all along it. Also replaced the exhaust fan with a PWM one that can be cranked by the MOBO if it gets too hot inside. It's all just kinda temporary and twist-tied...

Yeah, I've been thinking about that and I think I'll put a fan on the outside of the case across the pci slots to draw out the air that builds up around the video cards. Then I'll make sure to connect it to the mobo so that it can crank up the fan if it starts getting hot inside. Or plan D...

It comes from knowing I will get a new mobo, and like I said I'm keeping the processor temps under my watch!

Hi all, just got my system the other day so thought I would post a quick review of this case and how I've used it in a not-quite-HTPC application. First of all here's the manufacturer's link to the case: http://www.nmediapc.com/htpc8000.htm So I was looking to get a case for a computer...

I got the same email from Newegg, props to them for being proactive about it, making a demo video to show how to work around the issue. Though I know because I follow [H] I'm sure it'll help all those that didn't even have a clue!

I have not yet tried to re-activate the volume, though if you say you had good luck with it that is certainly encouraging. I will have to deal with this sooner rather than later after all... The lack of responses here was making me start to look into RAID recovery companies! And I would need to...

Hi, I got a bit of a problem I hope you guys can help me with. I am running a RAID 5 server with 7 x 400 GB drives under windows XP's software RAID (using the hack/workaround to enable RAID 5). It has been running fine for years, and now all of a sudden a power outage happened and caused my...

Thanks for the info, that gives me some more malls to look into! Any other ideas or specific stores pass them along!

Hey all, looking for some help from some [H]'ers from Miami. I'm coming home to Canada for Christmas through Miami, and want to buy the Nokia N810 WiMAX edition for my brother as a gift (he wants exactly this model, I won't get into why). The N810 is available in Canada but the WiMAX model is...

Wow, I am amazed how cyclical everything is in this world. My current system was top of the line at it's time: Intel HT CPU and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256 mb. Then after that Nvidia and AMD took the crown, while Intel and ATI were catching up. Now it switches back to Intel / ATI being the leaders...

Yeah, I figured as much, I would also lean towards the second option, especially since I think a SATA card is bandwith limited through the PCI port. I guess I will do that. What is D10 though? Saa|3

Hey people, I need some help finding a Mobo that may not exist. I've already tried motherboards.org but it doesn't help me too much. Basically, I want three things: - Gigabit Lan (no big deal) - Onboard Video (nothing special) - 6 SATA ports (Nothing new) However, getting all 3 seems...

One of my roommates pirates minor progs because he sais he can't get a program that does everything you want, and nothing you don't. Why pay $20 for a program you use 2 features from, then 20 for another you use 2 features from that the first didn't have, etc. Charge $5 for part of the program...

Well this is a first, not even an attempt at a response, maybe I posted in the wrong sections? Maybe the Power Supply section would have been more useful... But basically I found the answer myself: if you want to measure power, you need to measure the current going through a line. The cheap...

Hello, I've got a system that I want to install in my car eventually, and I need to find out how powerful of a power supply I need. So I have my system using a regular power supply right now, and I want to measure how much power it's using right now. Is there any guides out there that can tell...

yeah, I'm pretty sure I did, and I got the thing to POST finally.... and I didn't even change anything, just yelled at it a little :-) and it said default CMOS loaded on boot, so yeah.... but yeah, seems like my post is done, thanks for the help! Saa|3

already cleared the CMOS, I guess I forgot to mention that, but thanks for the input. Saa|3

So I turned off my computer and now it won't turn on. Won't even post. I was wondering what components I do need in my comp for it to POST, so that I can remove everything else and start troubleshooting and exchanging parts. Am I correct in saying it's the big 5: Power Supply, Mobo, Processor...

Yeah, you ran out of quota but I'd like to see the pics, maybe they can be posted on http://www.imageshack.us/ or something similar? thanks... Saa|3

LOL, HOLY SHIT... HAHAHAHA well placed... Saa|3

right, I read the post but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with netstat. how does that tell me how I can send a request to the server? sorry, I am newb at this... if there's somewhere I can read up on it... Saa|3

okay, I see, so my problem is then this: people need to send a request on port 888 to my site, but their firewall blocks that outgoing port, and it never gets to my site... so how the fuck do I get around that? hahaha, this is funny... so I need to set up something where people can send a...

Hmmm, the webhop feature on dyndns only does what I can do already, make another domain name and have a frame that points to the real web page. So this means that data is coming in through port 888 still. Okay, wait a second, if I am trying to access a page on port 888 (www.stuff.com:888)...

yeah, of course that would be ideal, and very direct, but not gonna happen. I'm asking if there is a service that could do it for me (ie they read the page on port 888 and broadcast it on port 80) Saa|3 edit: okay, will check out dyndns...

So I am hosting a site on my computer on port 888, as outgoing port 80 has recently been blocked by my ISP for security reasons. The site works fine (and yes, I am allowed to have it), however some people that try to access it cannot, because their firewalls block incoming port 888. Now I'm not...

Okay, finally got my thing to work thanks to the Linksys knowledge base. Since my modem also uses 192.168.1.1 as the default ip address, I had to change my router to 192.168.0.1. No other number will work, as I tried and failed. So thank you Linksys!!!! Saa|3

hmm, making everything with static IP's didn't solve it, making them far away from each other and all... gonna try and contact linksys about this one... thanks for all the help, any thing else? Saa|3

Okay, my problem has become a little simpler, but I still need some help. Basically my setup of router behind modem works, for a bit. Then it stops working. Then I reset my router, and it works long enough for me to write this msg, then it stops working (though the router still has an IP and...

Yeah, I think I've already tried this by disabling all the firewall restrictions, i haven't seen a "pass through" option but I can look some more, the problem is the only documentation for my modem is in german and french (living in switzerland for a year). I'll do some more mushing around and...

I got a problem that I seem to be stuck on. I have an ADSL modem that uses PPPoE (ZyXEL Prestige 623ME, but I don't expect anyone to know anything about it, cuz it's hard to find info on it), but the way it's set up is it does all the PPPoE for me and even has a built in firewall and all, DHCP...

I'll check those out, thx a lot... Saa|3

I'm staying in Switzerland for the next nine months and could use a new 200GB or so HD and an enclosure for it to hook up to my lappy. Since everything in Switzerland is expensive as FU/CK (at least I haven't found a good parts store yet) I was thinking of getting it in Germany. Are there any...

Hmmm, speaking of the expensive W1N, anyone ever heard of the notebook company Eurocom? I stumbled onto their site www.eurocom.com but hmmm, I saw one of their models with a WSXGA+ or even WUXGA+ screens here, the EUROCOM Milano M375E...http://www.eurocom.com/products/showroom/quote2.cfm it...

true about the GFX card, but I would need it more for the screen and dvd writer, plus less GFX memory usually means less heat and more battery life. Saa|3

Well, just as I was looking for a Toshiba M30, but longing for a better screen, BAM, this ASUS comes along... check it out at http://usa.asus.com/products/notebook/w1series/w1000n/w1000n_overview.htm I hope the price can drop a bit though, we'll just have to give it time... What do you guys...
