I was entertaining the thought of building an HTPC, but I think I can save some money by just extending my current desktop to the TV in my living room which is about a 25ft straight-shot away.
I recently bought a cheap 25ft HDMI cable from Newegg, but that didn't turn out too well. The cable...
One of the biggest mistakes I made when I built my current PC was buying an AMD socket 754 cpu when the 939 socket cpus had just become available. I figured I didn't need the high-end performance of a 939 cpu at the time, so I went and got the 754.
And while I was right, and my cpu...
I know Sonicks, and we both know Danny (the guy in the article). I think if he read that blotter article, he would piss himself with laughter. Danny was always the kind of guy that figured if he was going to go down, he might as well go down with style, and that's exactly what he did.
He was...
I am playing Vegas because I got tired of Gears of War to hold me over until Mass Effect comes out, but what I really cant wait for is Halo 3.
I'm sorry. I'm a 360 noob. :cool:
I've adjusted all setting in the control panel in combination with the settings on my monitor, (NEC FE990) and nothing worked.
And how can you NOT use the new nVidia interface? Is there an option to use the old interface? I find the new one very annoying.
I'm currently using drivers that were released before the new nVidia control panel was implemented. I was having trouble setting my resolution at 1280x960. No matter what options, configurations, and settings I changed, I couldn't get it to fit the screen properly. Even at max height and width...
Save up for a DX10 card unless you absolutely need a card right now. With games utilizing the Unreal 3.0 Engine coming out soon, you'd be better off just waiting to get a DX10 card. They are not so far away. We should be seeing some released in the next couple of months.
8800 Ultra GTX w/ 2GB...
Since they are both in the same price range, it looks like I have options now. Which one is (I hate to ask this since it's such a vague question) better?
I'm mainly looking for something to control the volume and not interfere with the sound too much. I would also like something with long...
I want to buy an amp mostly just for volume control with my Sennheiser HD485s. I am looking for something simple, practical, and easy to use. I'm not very familiar with amps, so I don't have an estimate on the price range or a list of qualities I'm looking for. I hope one day to become a true...
One concern of mine is volume control. Would an amp be handy just for volume control?
And even though HD485s are not top of the line, might they still be worth the purchase of a very cheap amp?
Once Newegg gets some more in, I'm going to order myself a pair of Sennheiser HD485s. I will be using them with my Audigy 2 ZS. My question is, do I need an amp? I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of amps is or what they really do. Will my headphones sound better with an amp? If so, what is...
These questions have been on my mind for quite some time, but I never took the time to ask them. I plan on getting an Xbox 360 or PS3 soon, so I'm going to hook them up to my 19" CRT monitor. I got that part figured out, but I need to know what I should do about the sound. I have a pretty good...

Praetorian 730 (if you dont mind something a bit heavier)
you really cant go wrong with the first two. i just added the 730 in case you want something with style. :cool:
also. i would recommend cutting your own window. there are so many cases with plain boring square...
dont think he's using it as a window. it's just to cover the drive bays and the power supply.
well, at least i think that's what he's doing. it's been doon in a few cases recently, and i like the look of it.
how are your video cards holding up to this game?
i'm playing it at 1024x768 with 4AA and 8AF with all other settings normal. i brought up the console to see my fps, and i was surprisingly getting less than 30 on average. this is with a 6800GT, 1gb ram, and an amd 3400. i cant really notice...
