In the past, I built all of my PCs. Now I need to upgrade my old PC before it dies and I'm planning on going with Windows 7, but I don't have time to build it myself. I don't want to go with a Dell or HP type shop. I want to buy from a place where I have a selection of parts and can have...

I have a Dell 27" 2707WFP and a Viewsonic 27.5" VX2835WM both from Costco. I'm comparing these monitors before deciding which one to keep and which to send back. If anyone would like me to run some tests on them, let me know which tests and how to run them and I'll try to report back here. I...

I've been following several threads in this forum for over a year now (some of them) regarding Dell 2407's BenQ 24", Dell 2707's and others. I'm probably going to be faced with getting a new display and I want to get one that is 26" to 28" (I like big fonts -that's why no 30"). I do a lot of...

I've got a Dell 1130 CRT (it's got a Sony Tube), 21". I've had it for 5+ years. Anyway, I've been planning on upgrading when it dies to a 27 or above LCD. After returning from the 4th of July I turned it on and it worked for a few minutes and then I heard a sharp popping sound and the screen...

I'm curious as to what 26" to 28" LCDs are coming out during this year. If anyone has any info, please post. So far I've heard about Dell's 2707, NEC 2690, and the Viewsonic VX2835WM. Does anyone know of any others? I'm still looking for the date when the Viewsonic will be shipped. Thanks.

I just got a new PC Core 2 Duo with an ATI X1900 XT videocard and I'm looking for some great new screensavers to show capabilities of this machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

My motherboard died (an old ABIT IC7-G). I had two PATA drives stripped (RAID 0) on it and I'd like to know if I can get the data back. When I get a new motherboard and attach the new drives, will it recognize them in their current stripe configuration or will I have to reformat and start all...

A friend of mine and I are thinking about building an external USB (or could be firewire) drive array. Here's what we're thinking: We both have a need to have some good size portable storage. I have five computers; two at home and three at work. Occasionally I need to be able to move large...

I'm having a problem with my new Windows XP Pro SP2 install. I cannot edit User Accounts anymore. I have administrative privledges and whenever I click on "User Accounts" in the Control Panel it now brings up a dialog box that says "To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this...

I'm getting ready to build a new system. I'm probably going to buy an ABIT Fatal1ty (hate the name) AN8 because it will do lazy man's overclocking and has the features I want. Where I'm having trouble is picking out the RAM. I've been out of the loop for the last two years so I'm not up on the...

I've run into a weird problem with my latest install of Windows XP Pro with SP1 on my RAID 0 array. My computer will only boot if the Windows XP CD is in my CD-ROM drive. It won't boot from my hard drive (a RAID 0 array on the Intel SATA). How can I fix this? What went wrong? My guess is...
