    Houston, we gots a small issue (got a PO but no ST)

    I should also clarify the first post, that the computer was ON when I first found this problem, that when turning on the monitor, my already powered on computer was displaying nothing.

    Houston, we gots a small issue (got a PO but no ST)

    about this beeping...thing is, the mobo has no speaker that i can see (or even a buzzer), nor does the case, as far as i can tell...the only status indicator is the LED light on the board which is blue for standby and red for on, both being the appropriate colors... ARGH

    Houston, we gots a small issue (got a PO but no ST)

    tried one stick of ram in various slots, no dice did it again with no HDs attached, no dice. i'm guessing it's the motherboard given that it doesn't POST, but it spins up fans and disks(i.e.psu functions) unless someone thinks its the videocard?

    P5B dlx/wifi drive allocation question...

    So tomorrow, when I boot/install an OS on my new rig, I'm going to have to put the OS on one of the two 250gb hard drives... However, I want these drives on separate SATA controllers (for example a PhotoShop scratch disk is useless unless it's on a separate controller than the OS disk, or so...

    I have $280 and no video card STILL! (thanks monarch) Suggestions?

    I started this thread to gather opinions on the best use of my $280. You presented an offer, which I evaluated, and we had some good discourse going, until you felt it necessary to tell me to just buy your card and that Xfire was a piece of shit, more reason to buy your card. First of all...

    greta you just lost a sale: chill out, consider your price (which from other FS/T forums i've looked at, is high for that card, even discontinued) cut the "screwed up all my games" crossfire routine...because its really childish and finally, calm down, i'm not gonna decide to buy your card an...

    I have $280 and no video card STILL! (thanks monarch) Suggestions?

    thank you UnknownSouljer, my thoughts exactly... and as for the older design blower cooler, how loud are we talking here? because the last stock cooled videocards I had were a 9800XT and an X800Pro, both of which were intolerably loud.

    After 15 days of waiting for monarch to stop fucking me, I've decided that they fucked me, so I've been sitting here for 2 weeks with a great rig (P5B dlx wifi, E6600, 2x1gb DDR2 etc) without being able to use it...So, I'm issuing a chargeback for an HIS Radeon X1950Pro IceQ3 That gives me...

    Thanks for all the input, I'm gonna go either with the x1900gt or the 7900gs... However, as I look at the egg's selection of these cards, I'm not finding anything with HDCP support, which I'd like to have... Also, what manufacturers explicitly allow you to remove the heatsink and use a...
