Being part of the newly WFH workforce I'm considering taking the opportunity to upgrade my setup and use my old monitors for my semi-permanent home office (unless there is a solution that could share the monitors without a docking station, maybe a KVM switch?). My rig is a few years old at this...

I was planning on getting an ASRock Z170 Pro4 (Link) The board is currently $110 on New Egg. My local Microcenter offers the Z170-AR as part of a "package" with the 6600k that I'm purchasing for a total of 359+tax. This brings the total of the AR down to around $140. Does anyone have any...

It is finally time for me to build a new PC. I'm probably going to ask for parts for Christmas and build during the break between the holidays. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mostly just gaming, even though I've mostly grown out of PC gaming I'd...

I'm picking up a q9300 to upgrade my sad little e7200. I want to squeeze a little more performance out of my old rig before I have to bite the bullet on a whole new build. To that end I'm also going to do a slight OC on the proc, probably shooting for 3.0 to start. I may just rest at 400...

I'm looking for a intel quad processor. Only looking for 775 models. I'd prefer a 9400+ but I'll consider 8400/8450. PM me if you're selling and price inc shipping. Thanks!

I'm considering looking at an upgrade for my current video card which is an ati 4850 512mb. My rig is a few years old, Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale, gygabyte GA-EP43-DS3L, 4 gigs of OCZ PC 800 ddr2 ram, PSU is Corsair VX 450. I'm running windos 7 pro x64. Literally the only game I play is WoW...

I have a nice little Samsung SGH-A707 that I have been very happy with up till now, but it was a phone for school and not for business. Also its something like two and a half years old and starting to fall apart. My usage is pretty sparse at the moment. I text, a lot. Probably 3-5000 per...

So, I'm looking to ask for a new keyboard for Christmas and I have no idea what is good. I've been using my basic keyboard from my first computer that I got 8 years ago. Nice trusty little guy but its time for an upgrade. My habits are fairly basic. Typing, some fps, WoW and I'll...

I wanted to get some opinions on what I should do with this issue. So I fired my 360 up to play some RB2. It was fine for about 10 minutes then it started to give me this weird distortion and color saturation. I turned it off and turned it back on and all of a sudden my video was gone. The...

I've got a real problem with a rig I built a few months ago. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to fix it. When I try to do anything serious with it (gaming, any serious tabbed browsing, even basic diagnostics) it freezes. I can browse the internet and the computer will stay running...

I'm having a serious problem here. I just put together my new rig last week and finally got around to installing everything on Sunday. I'm running Windows XP Pro on a Core 2 Duo E7200 Wolfdale, gygabyte GA-EP43-DS3L, with the PNY 9600GT that was at CC two weeks ago for $99. My mobo has the...

So I've got the itch to build a new machine and I've been lurking for the last few weeks pricing things out. (not that I'm not a regular lurker anyway, just not in this forum.) Priorities for this build - My work involves nothing more than word, excel, and adobe pro. I game a little bit...

So I've started looking for a new TV, I'ed like to get something in the 42-46 range. My most important requirement, one that I will buy based on, is how well it handles with Rock Band (360). I have a full group of guys that meet about once a week for "band practice" and I will not live with...

So I know that MVC2 is backwards compatible but theres a video on youtube that shows slowdown and massive sprite irregularities. Does anyone have this and know if its been updated? I'ed like to pick up a copy (on ebay :() or I may just get a dreamcast and it for about the same amount of money.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with a 2.0 ghz Celeron. The laptop is about...4-5 years old, closer to 4 I'm thinking. The problem I have is that it regularly overheats. I'm not talking regularly like, once a week I mean every single day and sometimes multiple times a day. I can forget about...

Ok, my mom's old system died and she needs a new system. I'm not all about building her one and then having to service it if it breaks. Shes fairly savvy but definately needs an really still needs an OEM system. I was thinking about waiting for a [H]ot Dell deal as this isn't really an...

Ok so I've been having serious issues with my hard drive. I've been getting a ton of BSODs while running in windows doing simple things. Often I'm just clicking around surfing the internet and it'll get a BSOD but I've been playing games or just click on like the start menu. At first I'ed...

After thinking about it, I can't notice most of my dead pixels (I've got 8+ but most of them are sub pixels or something, hardly noticeable) but the ones that I can + my backlighting problems are too much to keep this one. The backlighting is noticeable in 2 corners with the lights on in my...

I guess maybe I was expecting more precise voltages but I got my system all set up this weekend and I've been monitoring it like crazy. I'm very paraniod about the system, its the first one I've put together and I have an extreme fear of failure. I'm not overclocking and these are my system...

Ok so I've got an annoying problem. I played my order for the BFG 6800 on outpost.com last week (http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4082672?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG) for a total of 260 overnight shipped (free upgrade evidently.) I was told they would be shipping to me on friday but now...

I've been doing some research. My system is due to show up tomorrow and while I was planning on using the retail fan/sink, it seems that a lot of people reccomend going with something a little stronger. This came fairly highly reccomended and I was curious what you guys thought...

Ok I've been doing a LOT of research and I'm starting to get antsy, I WANT to order this new rig but I want to see what other people think about the selections that I've made. PLEASE be critical if you think that theres something wrong, missing, or should change. I intend to use this almost...

Ok so I need a good cheap powersupply for this machine. I was hoping to get by for under $800 but it appears that its going to end up being over that. I don't know anything about PSUs really as this is the first CPU I've built myself. I'm not planning on OCing it or really even making any...

I'ed like to start out by saying thanks for taking a look at this thread and helping me out here. Ok so anyway, this is my first attempt ever at building a new system. I know more than enough to put the thing together and get it running but I know nothing about OCing or anything particularly...
