I had to cut the fan controller in my laptop and also drill a hole in the case to keep it cool. A nice SSD would help keep it cool and running at its best :)

Yeah... nothing.. and the diagram has an arrow going the wrong way on GPU #3 I assume.
I just don't understand why a company would go to mass production with something that no consumer has had a hands on of for over a year? Referring to the Hydra 100 and now 200.

I have been looking for a new laptop and it looked pretty clear about the video cards, but I had a question about the mobility 4650. When I was looking at laptops there was some question about how much memory the 4650 had on it.
I ran dxdiag and the available memory came up at over 3GB for...
Asus G72GX-RBBX05 $1199 P8700 / GTX260m / 17.3'' 1600x900 screen / 500gb 5400rpm hd / 6gb ddr2 / Backlit keyboard / 8cell battery.
I was looking at this for myself and wife and had been doing quite a bit of research. I looked at Sager and when I tried to spec out a similar system it blew out...
The SIMS have finally broken free!!! They can start up themselves now, let them run FREEE!!! Open all the ports in your firewall and wait for the phones to ring!!
Hey everyone,
Looking for very comfortable headset with mic combo. The priorty is on mic quality and comfort. I have a full surround sound system for actual gaming and run vent/TS off a second machine which this headset will be plugged into.
I have a comfy headset now... mic sucks

I enjoyed X3 for awhile, all the bugs were killing me.. kind of lost interest, spending a lot of time improving your "empire" in the game started to not be so gratifying. I had hoped I could at least take over the entire universe but they don't let you build any of your own ships.. you have to...
I've had a couple of the eclipse Saitek's they have the same issue. I have a G15 now as well.. ditto. I'm of the mind though if you use the keys enough to wear off the paint.. do you really need to read the letter anymore? ;)
Hello,
I come from a pretty heavy gaming background so I'm familiar with building out PC's but am not familiar with dual processor systems or motherboard manufacturers and need some advice on how best to setup the system.
I'm doing .NET development and I want to simulate about 3 different...
I would give Dungeon Seige II a shot, it just came out recently. It's aparty based RPG like NWN and you can take your character onto other servers where you can fight with other people and what not, a lot like Diablo was in that sense. DS also has a good single player game (at least I think...
I beat the game recently as well, I will say it was a very good game, scary at moments but the reptitiveness really did start to get to me..... I immensly enjoyed being immersed with the 7.1 audio though, big plus.
Went to XBOX 360 Launch party, played some games. Went home.. played Call of Duty Demo on my PC... yup.. my PC > XBOX 360 today. And sure I have a nice pc now.. but.. that thing just came out.. hate to see how fast it gets dated. The contruction of the xbox is my mind is poor.. a laptop HD...

Ugh I'd just like to say if possible don't run video through your reciever unless you have a really damn nice reciever... all you do is muck up the signal and at 110"'s or whatever you can notice the difference... If you can go direct from source to output I would highly recommend it. Check it...
Well the sony mentioned is a 1080p set, it's lcd rear projection though. Sometimes those are ok. 1080p sets are still pretty pricey, 720p is more common, 1280x720. I don't mind playing at 720p, my projector does 1920x1080 in 1080i. This just recently started working for my with my new video...
Curious if anyone has picked up a power adapter like Targus makes for plane/car etc and had the right tip for the 9300. I don't see the 9300 listed anywhere on most of the items I've looked at(and one I bought) and am just wondering if anyone has found any that work. Acting as an external...
Perhaps it's just a misused term.. having something sent to the manufacturer.. checked out and sent back for sale isn't in my mind "refurbished" as nothing has actually been changed.
e.g. I think a hard drive that's been run for 2 years.. sent back the manufacturer.. seeing that it works...
My positional audio works awesome with 7.1 I'd definitely opt for 5.1 vs. 2.1 It's fun spinning around near a sound source and hearing it move around the room :) I don't find it super "useful" in WoW.. like, sure I could hear a gunshot or something behind me to the right but I don't really...
I see this stuff around and I'm curious if anyone actually know.. when it comes to computer parts... what the heck is refurbished..

A cpu? Hmm I highly doubt anything is actually made fresh or renovated...
Video Card...
I need a secondary display for my main computer.. the one in my sig. Obviously picture quality is of fairly high concern.. otherwise I'm kind of wasting the setup I have. Was wondering how people have felt moving from a large crt to a large lcd. Any regrets? Loss of image quality?

I upgraded to 7800GTX's in SLI and let me tell you... staring at the inside of a chopper the wrench had NEVER looked better!!
Blackhawk FTW!
I concur with the 2GB of ram (haven't even tried with less)... but I did that for EQ2.. talk about bad coding...
Edit: And I have no idea what...
Onkyo, HK, Denon.. I went through that whole thing looking for the best. Had an Onkyo 801, HK635 and a Denon3805. Had them all in my home with my system for extended periods (the HK only a month as I just returned it). I ended up buying a 3805 but I got a pretty awesome deal on a used one...
Please note people WD released two versions of the 36GB raptor. The newest revision has modifications made after they released the 74GB version. You can tell the difference by looking through the back of the box and comparing it to a 74GB. The most obvious change is the newest 36GB raptors...
I've been having some extended gaming sessions with myBFG 7800GTX's in SLI, after a few hours I'd stop and look at temps, this is through nVidia's temp monitor in advanced display settings. Main card was 61-62C, second card was 58C. I'd always noticed the main card running a little hotter...
