I've been thinking about getting two 1TB Velociraptors in raid 0 for mostly capturing game videos, and right now they are 15% off with a promo code on newegg. I think it's limit 1 per customer on the promo deal, but at the discount price it will come to $230. Think this is a good deal? Or do...

Does the Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fata1lty Champion card and I/O Panel use gold-plated connectors like their predecessors? Even though the I/O Panel started to use the 1/8" connectors as opposed to the Fata1lty FPS and X-Fi platinum cards, I was curious if the Champion version of the I/O...

I'm looking for a program that can host a "paint" server to where people can login into with the corresponding client software to where they can draw on the screen, post images on the screen and draw over it, and the other users connected can see what that person is drawing on the fly, including...

Does anyone know why Razer stopped selling the copperhead on their website? Or, in other words, stopped making it? The DeathAdder is too funky for me, and it seems all their latest mice are going through the concept design of that particular mouse which leaves me stuck with my Copperhead until...

When it gets cool outside, my room gets pretty cold at night particularly because I do not leave my system on when I go to bed. But if, I do leave it on, I usually never leave the my Sony FW900 monitor on. Anyway, one cold morning I turned on my computer, and my monitor started making these...

I left my computer on for almost a week and eventually turned it off last night. During that time my room got colder than usual because of the weather change. When I woke up, I tried to turn on my computer, but nothing happened when I pressed the button. I opened up the case and I see that the...

Malwarebytes detected WinRAR's Default.SFX to be a Trojan.Agent in version 3.90 beta 3. I was wondering if this is a false positive since I couldn't find any information regarding this particular version.

I have the Asus A8N32-Sli Deluxe mobo with nForce4 SLI X16 chipset. The chipsets on the system board have always ran hotter than I would like them to be. Before I removed the stock thermal grease for the chipsets, the system board would idle around 45c and load around 52c. Now, after I removed...

I was trying to remove some hook thingies that clamp things like the chipset heatsinks from the back of my motherboard(Only way to get em out) and scratched it up a little bit. Some copper is showing... Read another thread about scratches on the mobo and read: "If there is no copper showing...

I'm in the process of replacing the factory thermal paste that came on the chipsets of my Asus A8N32-Sli Deluxe Motherboard. But the chipset's heatsink "protectors"(as I'm calling them) got soaked in thermal grease remover. I then decided to remove them. I was wondering if can buy these...

I have a 2/3 year old syringe of AS5 and I need to reapply some paste to all my heatsinks. Was wondering if the life of AS5 in the syringe ever expires once opened? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone here knew how to manually get the list of servers for a particular game from the Gamespy Master Server from the command line or a third party program without using the game itself. I've seen programs do it so I know they are getting the information somewhere for free...

Read a review about Windows XP Retail on newegg stating after January 2009 where mainstream support ends for the OS, Activation will no longer be needed unless you're using OEM where then you'll have to activate by phone every single time you reinstall XP. Review by Strickt (Should be the very...

Pick one, please!

I did a fresh install of XP SP2. When I was restoring my device drivers I didn't have a problem whatsoever. After I ran all the updates I could in Automatic Updates before activating my copy of Windows (Which means I'm still using IE6), everytime I try to run an executable locally, on the system...

What kind of system would you have to build to get the maximum performance out of the latest video games, ever? I'm talking about: Let's say, when Bioshock comes out, playing the game @ 2560 X 1600 with everything maxed out (16X Antialiasing, uncompressed textures, etc) with absolutely no lag...

I have an Razer eXactmat with my Razer Copperhead. Copperhead was easy to clean, just scrape off the dust bits. But how would you clean an Razer eXactmat? It's a hard flat surface, so cleaning it with ordinary surface cleaner will leave residue from the soap scum and stuff. But I'm not sure...

I was just wondering what was the best thermal tape you could buy. I know Artic Silver is supposed to be really good, but they don't make thermal pads. My Accelero X1 from Artic Cooling came with some pads and isn't Artic Cooling a pretty good thermal paste goin company? Any comments would be...

Thermaltape for chipset base? I just got a Vantec ICEBERG All-one-in chipset cooler. It comes with thermal tape and thermal grease. When I removed the stock chipset cooler, there was thermal tape that layed on top of the chipset board, but not on the actual chipset itself, so there was like a...

I plan on trying out the Zalman VF900-Cu for my 7900GTX. The ram heatsinks that come with the VF900-Cu look like they are made of aluminum dyed in blue. I was thinking about perhaps getting a different set of ram heatsinks, preferably copper ram heatsinks for the video card so it could obsorb...

Which one would you guys best recommend in cooling the memory chips on a high-end graphics card?

I bought an Artic Cooling Accelero X1 for my BFG 7900GTX, but I haven't installed it yet. For one thing because the Accelero X1's heatsink doesn't cover the entire RAM layout that i've notice. I was just wondering if anyone else has used the Accelero X1 for their 7900GTX and had success...

After reading up on the hd guide, The WD Raptor seems pretty nice. I was thinking about getting the 16MB 73GB OEM Raptor but which would I see better in overall performance from? That hard drive @ 1.5gb/s with 10,000 RPM rate or a hard drive @ 3gb/s with 7200 RPM rate? Newer, faster...

I'm doing a full upgrade to semi high end performance system. I referenced the PSU guide and noticed that the posts are almost a year old. Can I still rely on this information? Particularly the suggest PSU list for Single Video card systems, the OCZ PowerStream 600W and the Turbo-Cool 510...
