Finally, my old 4800 is feeling the pressure of my gaming. SWTOR is making the fan HOWL like a jet liner, and im having to turn down video settings and run at lower resolutions. Considering I got this thing when it was new, I got a LOT of life out of it! Thank you Xbox for crippling the PC...

Im a 3DS Max artist and I use Vray alot. I currently have a 4850 with 1gb of RAM and it gets the job done, but I want to play with GPU rendering. For that I need an OpenCL card. Both the 6000+ and the Nvidia 400+ will work. From what I heard, the Nvidia cards can crunch the frames better...

OK. Im a freelance artist, so money is ALWAYS a little tight. Im going to be getting a little money, and my current set of panels are starting to have problems. I have a VERY old Dell thats getting dim and burning in, and a newer Acer thats just a crap-tastic TN getting burn-in. I want a...

Had my mobo die on me, and have a raid 0 on that motherboard. I need to find a working DS3P motherbaord so I can pull the data off the stripe. If anyone has a working DS3P laying around, give me an offer. Please dont expect to make too much money as I already got the critical data off of it...

So I have a q6600 on a Gigabytes ep35-ds3p mb and the motherboard died on me along with a power supply and a set of Corsair hs1 headsets. Bad day! To cap things off, my boot system is on a raid 0. Its a good thing that I backed up some of my critical files 15 mins before it died (ironic?)...

Im wanting to install Windows 7 into a partition on my RAID drive. I know there is a way to dump the drivers onto the DVD because I dont have a floppy. I still am amazed at this date that Windows 7 still requires any storage drivers to be on a floppy drive? WTF? Any help would be greatly...

I just got the Acer 24" 243w at Office Depot for 279$, and its a nice looking monitor. Its right next to my Dell 2005FPW and I use it for 3D modeling and texture mapping. The big question I have, is there seems to be a slight problem with the backlight. No bleeding, but it seems to be...

I have a friend who has a wonky home server. All he has is 2 desktop systems accessing a Quickbooks database, so there is no need for a big server. What I would like to do is get him off of his wonky server and into a simple NAS box. The problem is there are so many to choose from! I was...

OK. I have been a PC tech for the last 15 years. About 5 years ago I quit my PC repair job and started doing 3D modeling for TV shows on the Discovery channel and History channel. I still build and fix my own boxes, and service the PC's of family and friends, but my own box is giving me fits...

OK. This is a first for me. Been a PC tech for over 10 years, so I am not new at this :D So I got my nice Dell FPW2005, and its FLAWLESS! Yay! No dead pixels. So I have been working with it for about 2 months now, no problem. Today, I noticed something..... Odd. Something...

With purchase of power supply. The power supply's are also rather cheap. These cases look like ass, but it may be a start of a good case mod. Or a bad start of a first case mod ;) Eather way, its a good deal. Watch out for shipping though...

OK. I work at a 3D Studio and we all work on Dual Xeon rigs. I built them all myself in CoolerMaster Wave cases. They have rather sucky air flow but I did not buy them... Anyways, we have 2 dual 3.06 systems and the fans Intel use are heat sensitive. BOTH of them start SCREAMING like...

I have a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 board with a Athlon XP 2500+ Bartin at 333FSB I can overclock to 400FSB with air cooling. I want an upgrade and I was thinking the 3000XP is a nice price. Only problem is what version? Should I go for the 333FSB and try and overclock it too 400, or the 400...
