Specs: MSI K8N Neo Platinum AMD Athlon 64 3200+ s754 Corsair XMS 1 GB PC3200 Radeon X850 XT 200 GB Seagate HDD I'll try to explain my situation as best I can. About a week ago, my computer worked fine. Then it started freezing. I would turn on the computer, the OS would load fine, everything...

Since there are so many black friday threads floating around, it might be easier to just separate them into one thread. Posting adscans, deals, etc. Also what you think you will be/might be getting. I also figure this would be a good opprotunity since we all are mostly interested in the same...

...to release a high-end AGP card. In late June with the launch of the 7800GTX, I thought it would only be a matter of time before Nvidia/ATI to launch an AGP card. 6800GTs, 6800 Ultras, X850XT, etc were readily available, but I decided to hold on. Four months later there still has not been a...

Is it safe?

In my sister's rig I don't have a video card to use yet (I'm giving her my 9800 PRO when I get my new GPU.) However I do have a spare TNT2 that I could pop in the for the time being. Would this work, or should I just buy a cheapo video card for the time being?

Going to be setting up my wireless network, and am curious to know if the jump to G is worth the price for a new router (I have a B router/access point now.) However if the performance boost in gaming is worth jumping to G, I would be willing to pay.

I'm going to build my sister a computer and I want the [H]ard community to be a part of helping me choose the parts (like always.) My sister was going to get a laptop but has finally given me the go ahead to compile a list of parts of a computer I would build her. This computer will be used...

So my sister wants a laptop. I tried to convince her to go the tower route (so I could have some fun and build it), but she won't budge. My experience with laptops isn't much compared to regular desktops/towers. Basically I have looked through quite a few laptops for her that could meet her...

Hottt.

Now I have to choose which model. Is BFG, the only good choice? Or should I consider others like Gigabyte, MSI, etc? - After getting some help in general hardware, I've decided that a video card upgrade would be best suited for me. I plan on using this system for at least another year and a...

I'm thinking about doing an upgrade this summer. I built my rig in Augast '04. Here are the specs... MSI K8N Neo Platinum AMD Athlon 64 3200 s754 Corsair XMS 1 GB PC3200 Radeon 9800 PRO 128mb 200 GB Seagate HDD Antec NeoPower 480w Powersupply CoolerMaster WaveMaster Black What...

Cooler Master Black Wave Master Antec NeoPower 480w PSU Vantec Sleeve kit (black) ====$269.99 (w/o shipping) Misc pictures... Can't wait to transfer my parts over to my new case! :D

I have a really good set of headphones (Bose Quiet Comfort 2's) and obviously you can see why I wouldn't want to use a headset. So I need a good mic that can work together well with my cans. I bought the Zalman clip-on mic awhile ago, and it doesn't work. I'm not sure if it was just a dud or...

LINKAGE Holy crap! Going to make my order very soon!

After a year of using a Aspire Blue X-Super-Alien I am getting sick of it. If you can recommend me a case it would be helpful (I have a few in mind already just want to hear others recommendations.) Be less then $160 Preferably black No overmodded crap (windows and some LEDs are fine...)...

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Personal Pro Nod32 Panda Titanium Antivirus 2005 I am siding with Kaspersky but I am not sure and I would love some [H]ard input. Thanks.

I have been using the same cloth pad since 2002 (before that another clothpad) and I am interested in buying a good mouse pad. I am more interested into a more slick surface, but either will do. Thoughts?

I just put together my brothers computer. I went over turned it on and *BANG* a big spark, and it started to smell. OMFG I am going to collapse. :(

Also please make it external.

For my brother. I want to know if there quality is fine compared to other brands. Any input would be good at all.

I have an X-Connect Ultra PSU and it doesn't have many molex connections. I have two fans and an LED temp and I cannot use them. So my question is would it be safe and drop the performance if I used a couple Y cables?

Just curious.

As said before my brother is in the market for a new computer, and I am comparing the system I could build for him to prebults. I used bits and pieces of the Anandtech guide. He is using the system for burning cd's, intenet, and word documents. He also plans to do little to no gaming (hence the...

I recently bought a new PSU for my rig (Ultra X-Connect 500W Ultra Modular Blue Titanium) and ULTRA recently just released a new moded X-Connect (here) and I am kind of having buyers remorse. However I don't think it would be worth the trouble of RMAing. So what I was thinking of doing was...

On stock cooling. If you aren't using stock cooling please tell me. Just want to see what you guys have gotten. Thanks.

Alright well my brother is in the market for a new computer, and I offered to help him out. Now I was comparing my rig that I could build compared to what he could buy at the store. He will be using this computer for internet, and burning his massive CD collection onto his harddrive, so he can...

I am looking to upgrade from my stock heatsink/fan and get this: Swiftech MCX6400 Would this be worth the $51 + money for fan? Or should I just save the money for watercooling?

Looking to build a budget system for my bro and I am currently looking at this Soltek board. I haven't heard to much about Soltek, so for the people with experiance on them... are they any good?

btw the Athlon is a Thoroughbred. Anyway I am building a system for my brother and he is looking for stuff to burn his cd's and using the internet, but with a slight chance of gaming. So I am stuck between these two. They are the same price also.

I am going to set up a network in my house, and my friend recommended using SP2. Here is the problem though. I have an AMD Athlon 64 cpu and I have heard bad things with the combo of SP2 and a 64 bit chip. Anyone here have any problems with running SP2 with Athlon 64?

I recently built my first computer about 3 weeks ago. It was pretty succesful (except for my crap psu that came with the case frying). Other then that though everything went smoothly. Anyway. My question is, my brother is currently looking to buy a computer (from dell) with the budget of...

My case is very wire messy and with the window I have I would rather have my hardware stick out rather then my wires. So I am curious to know if using scotch tape to tape some wires down and out of site of my window would be safe? I figured as long as it isn't conductive....

Two weeks ago I built my new rig: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Socket 754) MSI K8N Neo Platinum 1 G PC3200 Corsair XMS RAM Now my remorse is that my friend keeps telling me that I should have waited a little bit for the socket 939 to become more mainstream. Is my rig fine, or should I considered...

I recently formatted my computer, and I am booting up with nothing. So I throw in my Win XP CD and I get nothing. I go into the bios, and it doesn't list a cd-rom drive. So by now I'm like WTF. So I open the case, and all the connections are secure. So at this point I really am confused on what...

Alright I am installing a fresh copy of XP and after I get a certain point I get an error and I seriously have no idea what is wrong. I press enter then this happens...

I get this error

Alright I recently formatted my old computer, because I wanted to install a fresh install of windows xp.and just get a new start for the computer. So I reformat. Go into my bios change the settings to boot from the CD. To be specific this is exactly what I did: Then the bios goes away, a...
