    Bought a 9800GT.. unsure if I want to keep it

    I bought a eVGA 9800GT from Fry's today for $80 - $40 MIR + tax = $47. It's sitting in its plastic wrap. Its sole purpose is Starcraft 2 med-high with the system in the sig. I keep seeing deals of better cards for $70-100 but I think the rest of the computer would bottleneck it. And it'd be more...

    Tivo alternative. Non-htpc?

    I figure this is as good a place as any to ask. Is there a simple tivo-like machine that will record and pause tv? This is a gift for my sister so the simpler the better hence non-htpc. I did some searching but could not find anything decent under the $400 mark & no subscription. I'm new...

    Quality? 3.5mm splitter & Both headphones and speakers on

    I've been reading previous threads for using the Y splitters and they say that the sound quality is fine when having speakers off and headphones on. How about when speakers are on and headphones plugged in (listening to the speakers, headphones are ignored)? Main reason for the splitter is...

    MGS4 Bundle Q

    I'll probably be getting the bundle when it comes out in June but 2 questions: Is it only for the 80 gig PS3? (I'd rather have a 65nm chip, if they haven't put them into the 80 gigs by then) Anyone know the price? I.E. if it'll cost the same as the game + system or just the price of the...

    Ep2 and fov 90

    I went into the console and typed 'fov_90' and got unknown command Then I tried 'fov 90' and it didn't seem to do anything. Is there something I'm missing? Last HL2&ep1 made me sick after about 30 mins of play and I heard that changing the fov to a more humanly aspect helps people greatly.

    7600GT: Cheapest fan?

    It gets pretty loud for my tastes during gaming and certain times. I'd rather put a new fan on it to make it quiet all the time. It'd be cheaper than replacing and I'm content with the current graphics. Then I can wait for newer cards to drop in price. Summary: Cheapest recommended fan to...

    Ring of Red (Not 360 related)

    Ring of Red the PS2 game. It's an older one I just picked up at gamestop for $5 and it's fun albeit a bit long. It's like Final Fantasy Tactics and Armored Core had some strange child together. Only downside is you can't save during missions that can last up to 2 to 3 hrs each.

    Voltage rating on TRIACs

    I'm pretty new to them and been searching around for an answer. Does the voltage rating mean the tolerance of it? I have to replace a part from a schematic that has a 200V 40A full-wave TRIAC on it and I can't find a place to buy one like that. Will a 300-400V 40A work?
