    combined 3.3v and 5v wattage

    I was wondering how "serious" this combined load is. I have a system specced out (i7-8700k, Z370 board, gtx 1060 6gb, 32gb DDR4, M2 & 7200rpm drives) and the psu calculator online has an estimated 109 watts for 3.3v and 5v combined. I was really liking the Seasonic SSR-550RM G series 550w, it...

    A decent travel/portable tripod?

    Need a new tripod for my rebel XSI. Seems like the most portable ones are tiny little cheap tripods and all the good sturdy ones are big and bulky and not very travel-friendly. Any good suggestions?

    New 20-22" for animation/modeling?

    I'm just curious what people think is the best 20-22 incher for a 3D (Maya and others) user. There's a lot of threads and info for monitors for gaming purposes, which basically puts response time at the forefront or at hella importance, so this is something different. I'm currently on a poor...

    Antec MX-1 enclosure - terabyte drive ok?

    It states it supports only up to 750gb drives. Is there any reason for that? I can't really imagine why. Is it really a big deal. This enclosure really seems to be among the best, I trust Antec, and need a terabyte of space.

    Old Nvidia Card IDing needed

    I randomly found this around. I really can't remember when or how I got it, but a little searching hasn't turned up much. I'm pretty sure its a hella old Nvidia Quadro NVS, but can't figure out which one exactly. Anyone know which one it is? Is it just completely useless by now, should I...

    Just to ease my paranoia, does this speedfan screeny indicate a healthy, stock 4500 just put in? :confused:

    Sapphire HD 2900 Pro

    Finally want to build a gaming system (digging Team Fortress 2 a lot) finally after having a Dell/geforce 6800gto machine for 3 years. This seemed like a good deal ($165 @ NE). Price ended up being a factor, didn't want to go 200 or more at all. Anyone have experience with this card? Was it...

    Best drive for OS/Apps that isn't a Raptor?

    I've heard the cost isn't worth it anymore with a lot of newer drives catching up, and quite honestly who wants to pay that much for 74/150 gb these days, anyone aware of a comparable WD/Seagate 160-250gb? Main purpose would be for dual booting XP & Vista, and some big programs.

    First ever build, Quad Penryn/Vista 64x

    This will be the first system I've ever built. Any tips/advice/thoughts would be very appreciated, pertaining to hardware, software, actual building or anything else. Purposes: Purely towards the workstation-use end of the spectrum, no gaming whatsoever, no overclocking here (my first ever...

    Abit IP35 or Asus P5K-E ?

    Basically I'm looking at a board for work/production purposes. Maya/Photoshop/After Effects, no gaming whatsoever. Something to handle Pernyns (either the Q9300 or Q9450 or the Xeon 33x - details are still sketchy on it as far as I know but I think it'll end up being in price range). Also to...

    Anyone use Maya 64 bit? XP or Vista?

    Anyone use the 64x version of Maya? I'm curious if its as solid as the regular 32 bit version. Also, is it better to go XP Pro 64 or Vista 64? I'm not sure if the driver situation is better on one or the other at this point. For most things, 3 gb of ram is easily sufficient, but the ability...

    Nvidia Quadro or ATI FireGL?

    These seem to be standard for workstations for Maya/3d Max, you know modeling, animation, rendering. While these things are really way more CPU dependent, you still need a card to handle hardware rendering, particles, whatever. So you can't just get a cheapo card in general. I'm trying to...

    Anyone Maya/3DS/XSI/whatev on a quad core?

    I'm looking into a new system later this year (like $1000 or so, anythings better than this P4), I run Maya and hope to be delving into the other progs soon on it. Quad cores seem pretty affordable these days, anyone use it specifically for this kind of stuff? 3d modeling, rendering...

    Problem installing Battlefront 2

    I had purchased and installed and played it perfectly when it came out, kinda got bored with it and uninstalled it. Now when I'm trying to install it again, the DVD-RW drive doesn't seem to be correctly reading it. The autorun install window doesn't come up, so I go in and see only the...

    Guild Wars or Wow?

    I'm getting a little tired of CS:S and Battlefront uno and deuce. getting one dimensional, so might look at another genre of gaming. I've never played a MMORPG or anything like those, and I'm looking at some. I've ruled out SWG just reading...any post on it...ever made anywhere. Pretty much...
