Hey all, just tuned my old Asus Crosshair motherboard into a nice doorstop with a bios update.... Not even a post now, no beeps, no nothing. Anyways I am looking for a good replacement board for a AMD Athlon 64 X2 and sli Nividia 8800 GTX's. I am kind of in a rush as I need to get the new...

So I just bit the bullet and ordered a new gaming system. I went with an Asus Crosshair and an Athlon 64 X2 6000+ I have not read a lot about the Crosshair but it seemed to have all the features I want + more. Did I make a boo boo? What can I expect out of this board? A headache or Drools...

Hey all, been a long while since my last post and even a longer time since my last computer build. I just ordered a new setup consisting of: Asus Crosshair Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 2x EVGA 8800GTS (going sli (duh)) 4 gigs Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 and the rest is not that important... My question...

Ok, I got an old school ATI 9800pro 128meg. For the life of me I can't remember who the manufacture is. It's either ATI or Sapphire, nothing on it however says Sapphire. Anyone know a way to tell? Been playing Battlefield 2 mostly, with ATI's 5.6 Cats working the best. Anything above...

I can't believe it! Newegg took down one of my favorite features from their website! The new Items listing is now gone! OMG! :confused: What's next, the rating system or the user reviews? I knew once they started selling rice cookers that it might be the end of newegg... :D If your...

I am glad to see a return of the desktop style cases. They offer so much more, in terms of cooling, aesthetics, and give a new angle on modding. I am however a bit confused on the pricing, they seem to be hitting the market with rather high price tags. I gather that most all the computer...

Just got another round of TWINX1024-3200C2PT to fill my banks and bump my system up to 2 Gigs. The old stuff is the exact same model. I popped it in, and noticed a 80 MHz drop on my FSB. From 400 to 320. Set Memory to auto and noticed same thing. Bumped my timings around to 2.3.3.6, still...

Well it's pretty enough on the outside, but once I look inside I instantly think hot hardhrives, then I think about how often i would have to dust the inside, it's a steel case, and it cost $149.00! Lian Li PC-V880A Silver Lian Li PC-V880B Black

Anyone got any info they would like to share on the 16meg cache drives by WD or Maxtor? One better than the other? Just preference? Maxtors a little cheaper. Getting two 250gig to put in raid0, to replace WD 74gig raptor that I just bought only a couple of weeks ago. Should I even...

Anyone here ever work for Falcon NW? I am trying to get an idea about the in's and out's of the company before I go work for them, from people who have already been through it. I notice their turnover is high and when I did my walk through I saw not a smile in the entire place. Any bit of...

Well I went ahead and ordered a new rackmount case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811117101 My question is this. The Rackmout looks like it has a regular toggle switch for the power button, I am putting in a regular motherboard, not a server board. Do I have to...

Ok, here is the situation. My hd activity light header on my mb went guts up I guess. Cant get a voltage reading on it to save my life, and every led I tossed at it never worked. Yes, I tryed flipin the led wire each time to make sure it was not a POS/GRND issue. No, it does not work...

Yep, already even though the game is only half way functioning they announced release of the BF2 expansion pack, due out this fall. Sure, it sounds like a sweet pack, but I want the game 100% functional before I hear about any expansions. Link to article...

Anyone got any special techniques on wiring? How do you end up getting that very professional look? Any special folds? Like folding of flat ide cable? I know not to bend to sharp, but how much is to much? Power cable management is always a problem, how do you really make them look...

Well it has come time for me to start thinking about building my own NAS device. Has anyone else done this besides Mashie? I read his writeup on this UDAT project but he never says what software/os he uses. Is there a Linux flavor out there that would work well with this or has been...

Someone please tell me what is so good about this router? Sounds more like a gimmick than anything else. Slap gaming on the box and sell it for 40 bucks more. Anyone here have this router? Does it have anything that the others don't? My guess is that it has a built in port forwarding...

So my question is this... If "almost" everyone has to turn off fast write on their ATI cards why does ATI even bother giving us the option? Has anyone even gotten fast wite to work without artifacting or crashing? If so, what were the circumstances? What makes fastwite work? Is it...

Ok, been a gamer for 15+ years. My problem is finding a game that does not piss me off. I have played "almost every" major title to date and they all leave me pissed. Either poor development (bugs up the wazoo), crappy online play, or a very depressingly poor story line or all 3. What is...

I never see much mention around here about building you own router/firewall box. Is there any interest? All it takes is that old computer you have in your closet and a couple of nic's and some software and you got yourself your very own home built router. Let me know if you want some...

Hi, I have an ASUS P4C800-Deluxe I am trying to wire a new IDE LED up to. Odd problem, or maybe it's normal. I am getting a max voltage of 110.4mV and a min voltage of -83.6 Idle voltage 77.5mV Is this normal? I could not get my DVOM (A Fluke ET78DMM) to read the voltage when set on...

Ok going to build a remote (external) power and hdd indicator. Are all hdd led headers on motherboards the same voltage, or do they all differ?

So lets hear it folks, what's your favorite burn speed, and why? Also give a shout if you have had problems with other devices reading media burnt at a high speed.

Ok my question is this... I have 2 of these old Zenith Cruisepads. I have Googled to hell and back and cant find any mod, hack, or any technical info about them anywhere that is of any use. I hacked my way into the Cruisepad itself and got the dev list out of it, no easy task in...

Just wanted everyone to know if they didn't already, that Fedora Core 3 has been released! The main site: http://fedora.redhat.com/ Site for download mirrors: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html Everything is pretty congested right now so with a little luck you might get a...
