I would like to try setting my home WiFi using Ubiquiti equipment. I know it will be more complicated (maybe not that much depending on what equipment I'm getting) that using a basic wireless routers, but I would like to try it just for the hell of it.
I was thinking of starting with a...
Does anyone know if it's possible to install a SLI setup with one card in the PCIE_X16/X8_1 (first red one from the top) slot, one card in the PCIE_X8/X4_2 slot (second red one from the top), and a sound card in PCIE_X4/X1_3 slot (last red one at the bottom) using a i7 2600K CPU?

Does anyone have experience with the EK-KIT H3O 360 HFX liquid cooling kit? Since this would be my first build with a liquid cooling setup my thinking was that a kit would help take most the guesswork out of it.
Edit: Wow... I was just reading the EK thread...

Any Obsidian 800D owner noticed rust on the PCI slot covers screws? Ive got my 800D a few months ago (and Im not living in an high humidity environment) and while installing a new sound card, I noticed some rust on all screws. The original finish did look cheap, but I never tough it would be...

I'm having the strangest issue with my GTX 285OC2. From time to time, my screen will go blank like it's in power saving mode. It last for about 2 or 3 seconds, but it's mightily annoying! I've verified the screen saver settings and the power options but everything is properly setup.
I've...

I'm replacing a whining PSU (when used in conjunction with a GTX 285) and I'm hesitating between the SG-650 and SG-850. I have no plan to run a SLI setup, but I'd like some headroom for future upgrades (look at my sig) while not overloading my UPS (APC DLA1500).
My guess is that a SG-650...

Edit: From the review of the APC branded unit, it appear to be a solid UPS, with true sinwave and all the nice...
Whats up with BFG ES-800 availability? Its not even listed anymore at NCIX.com, and unavailable in other Canadian online stores Ive recently had to deal with BFG, and after receiving exceptional support, I wanted to go with this particular unit, but it's really hard to find. Is it EOL?
Hi,
I've ordered the following parts, and I was wondering if you guys think its going to be a good stable setup, with some reasonable over clocking potential. I still have time to modify my order.
Up to this point, Ive used ASUS boards exclusively, but from the different reviews I've...
Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the Ratpadz XT and a DeathAdder would be a good match? By that, I mean no tracking issues.
Also, since there is a discount going on, and since the holidays are almost there, I guess they are pretty overwhelmed by orders and requests, but what is the usual turn...

Whenever I start Crysis, there is a really crazy squeaking sound coming from the video card (BFG GeForce GTX 260 OC Maxcore). I've contacted NCIX for an RMA, but this morning I found this on the inCrysis forums :

With VSync disabled the movies and load screens (and...
