I'd honestly give it to my roommate. His vid card is crap and loud.

My roommate needs a new video card. The one his 8800GTS is way too loud and keeps me up at night while he plays LoL.

Galaxy is one of the few companies that still innovate.

When it absolutely, positively must be spread across 5 screens. Go Galaxy!

Boot times just aren't what they should be and who wouldn't want a Corsair SSD?

When you're building to a budget for a gaming rig you'd be absolutely nuts to not give AMD very serious consideration.

I like how the custom cooling design outperforms the stock one in every conceivable way.

A pirate walks into a bar with his ship's wheel down the front of his pants. When he gets to the bar the bar tender asks, "Why do you have a wheel down your pants?" The pirate says, "Arr, It's driving me nuts."

I like the built-in OC switch. Now, if only car manufacturers would take a similar route.

Cable management is a must but I also like little things like thumbscrews on the add-in card slots. The only time I had to use a tool on my last build was for those slots.

I like these coolers because Corsair needed some competition. I'm hoping this will fuel innovation in the all-in-one WC area.

I desperately need these. The broken AC in my dorm drowns out my poor built-in TV speakers.

If the memory is as good as the power supply I just bought from them, I'll be glad to have some.

He's basically saying that while the 6850 does support eyefinity the kinds of resolutions that you use in eyefinity are demanding and you would need a faster video card to handle them.

oops, double post but I can't delete it.

Skullcandy Ti. Unfortunately they're white and fluffy.

The fan is spinning, but how can I tell exactly how fast?

Airflow hasn't been a problem before. I used all rounded cables, have 1 80mm intake on the side of the case and 2 80mm exhaust fans in the back. I'll look into the NV Silencers but the cooler suggested by forrehmmnd is way too big. As for ambient rooms temps it's about 74F. I just don't get why...

The card is an XFX 6800GT. I had overclocked it in the beginning to Ultra speeds and it's been running fine until now. All of a sudden I was playing FEAR and an Nvidia dialog came up informing me that my card had exceeded the 120 degree C slowdown point. So I took off the overclock let the card...

I just starting looking for a laptop and I was wondering what kind of performance I could expect out of a Turion 64 ML34. It is clocked at 1.8 GHZ. I'm familiar with desktop processors but I admit I've been keeping out touch with mobile parts.

What would happen if I cut the files from C:\ into the root of E:\ would windows still boot.

When I installed Windows Xp I told it to install into my SATA drive. It made the sata drive E:\ and my 20 gig IDE C:\. Most of windows got put on E:\ but several files including the boot.ini got put onto C:\. I want to dedicate my IDE drive for Linux but I don't know how to relocate the windows...

It's an old Presario CDS 524. I can't even figure out how to get into the BIOS. When I leave a boot disk out of the floppy drive it just says "Not a valid disk. Insert the disk and press any key" or something to that effect. That occurs even when there is a Windows 95 disk in the CD drive.

I'm trying to boot a cd to install linux but the computer will only boot from a floppy. Does anyone have any idea how to make it work. BTW: not sure if this is the appropriate place to post. Sorry if it's not.

More than half way there now. 52288

Thanks for the feedback. Please elaborate on why the PSU is a problem. As for the RAM I think I'll go with 1GB based on what you have said. I'll consider PCI-E to make it more future proof. As for the file server thing, all of the other computers on my network have tiny (20-40gig) hard drives...

I'm about to build my new system and I was wondering if anyone could provide any helpful info about it. This is my first full build by myself and I really want to have an awesome system to show for it. I already have a parts list in mind but I wanted to see if anyone saw any problems with it...
