    New build, ideas welcome....

    I'm planning a new build. Last decent rig I built was in 2004. Believe it's specs are still in my sig. I need to update it. I don't get on here as often as I once did. Anyway, since the 2004 rig I built another one in 2011 but it was a budget build and I spend roughly $700 on it. This...

    Need suggestions on a super budget build....

    The idea is for my son. So, I need suggestions on a cheap build for my son. When I say cheap I mean cheap. Under $400 cheap. He isn't going to need anything too fancy. Hell my last rig that I built cost me about $700 and the one before that (which is in my sig) cost me about $3k). I'd like...

    Front Mount Audio Jack?

    Does anyone know where one can get a front mount audio jack with maybe 1 or two USB 2.0 jacks? I've looked on Newegg but its listing card readers with the audio and USB jacks. I don't need a card reader; I've already got one.

    Ok, so it's been several years since I've been on here and it has finally happened. My rig that I built in 2004 has finally met it's match, the rig is in my sig.

    Looking for Lexmark X5150 Software....

    As the title suggests, I am looking for the software for my Lexmark X5150 All-In-One Printer/scanner for Windows Vista. This thing has been pissing me off. It DOES NOT work. Period. Lexmarks' website is an absolute waste of time as they no longer produce/sell or otherwise support the...

    I understand its an older card. But it's been good to me and I'd like to find another one to toss in my SLi rig. The problem is, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Newegg doesn't list it anymore, its not on eVGA's website. Anyone have any idea where I can find one?
