We've been trying to figure out what the best way to store DVD movies is long term. We have a bunch of DVDs right now with some in the safety deposit box, safes, and in a DVD case in our living room. Recently, when trying to play one of the older DVDs, we noticed it wouldn't play on the Xbox...

Looks like all Tropico games are on sale this weekend. Tropico 3 Gold Edition: 66% off, $5.09 Tropico 4: 33% off, $26.79 I see a lot of people playing it-- is it a fun game? Even Tropico 3 is cheap enough where I'll just buy it to have it...

A friend of mine is building a new computer and has this part this in mind: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2472535/SandyBridgeBuild.pdf It comes out to about $850. Since I'm not a computer building expert, I just wanted to verify that these parts would work together... I briefly looked it over and it...

I'm really starting to notice my PC not being able to handle games very well... With new games out supporting and using quad core processors, it really is time to upgrade. The problem is, I don't want to go and buy a new MB and processor and RAM... From the looks of it, a cheap i5 system...

Cities XL is $4.99 on Steam until Thursday @ 4PM. Midweek Madness. http://store.steampowered.com/app/35510/ Haven't played since the beta but I loved it... Some say it is buggy and unplayable, but for $5 I am willing to take the chance... Also, if you buy Cities XL (2009), you can get Cities...

I currently have 2 Microsoft keyboards (wireless, don't remember which). Both stopped working within a few months. And it isn't the batteries. I can press a(ny) key but 99% of the time it doesn't register... Are there any decent keyboards (preferable wired...) that are less than $50? I looked...

I got a new laptop with a 9200m GS video card. After fooling around a little bit, I looked on the Nvidia website: http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9200m_gs_us.html "This product is also enabled for CUDA applications and is NVIDIA PhysX-ready." However, when looking at the 195.62...

Didn't see a thread about this on the deal forum. Frontlines is on sale (75% off) on Steam this weekend for $7.49. Looks like a good game, but seems to be empty on multiplayer. Hopefully this will get the game to have a larger user base. I tried the demo on the Xbox when it was first released...

I was having issues with Mirror's Edge a few months ago where the drivers would stop responding. I figured it was the game and forgot about it. Now, I have Borderlands and it is doing the same thing. It appears that all Unreal Engine 3 games are causing the drivers to stop responding for some...

A lot of people have missed the sale because the old thread is labeled as 10/29... Starting a new thread to make sure everyone who wants to get TF2 can. TF2 is on sale until 1:00 PM PST, and this is the LAST TIME they will do this. TF2 Blog Post: http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3037

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mainly Photoshop, homework, programming. Some games like TF2, L4D, Crysis, Modern Warfare 2, pretty much every FPS :p 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? ~$700 with shipping and tax, preferably 3)...

I have a 4870 X2 with the latest 9.8 drivers, but after playing Mirror's Edge for about 10 minutes, it freezes then goes to a BSOD... Previously with 9.7 drivers, Mirror's Edge would just freeze and if I would Alt-Tab out and close the process quick enough, Windows would say that the display...

Would an 8500GT make a difference in a game like Mirror's Edge? I got to the point where they shattered a lot of glass and then I turned off CPU Physx... It lagged, as expected.

I get a BSOD on the contact level during the plane cutscene... First time it happened when the camera flew by the first engine, the second right after jumping out of the plane... I get an error related to atikmdag.sys... Running Win7 RC1, 4870X2 Factory OCed to 800/1000, Win7 Beta Drives...

My guess is that the 4870 X2 is in "power saving mode" and doesn't come out of it... The first GPU stays at 507 core and 500 mem, while the second one is at the correct clock speeds (800 core, 1000 mem). Is there a way to fix this? I am running Win7 Ultimate and have a Sapphire Atomic 4870 X2.

Would it be possible to overclock a Radeon 3650 HD without using ANY more power or generating too much more heat? The SC from GPUZ is below (and as you can see, the actual clocks are less than the default ones...Why is that?) Also, my temps now: Idle: 39 Degrees Load (Running F@H...

What. Is. Wrong. With. My. House. This is DSL, and I got about 1500 kb/s on cable (things downloaded at about 200 kb/s), but it kept dying every 5 minutes. Now it is stable, but slow. FIX IT VERIZON :eek::mad::( Anyone else got anything slower?

Just got my computer back 5 minutes ago, and boy was I surprised... My computer is like new again, and now boots up :D When I turned it on, was greeted by a repair report...Upon closing that, I found out that they did not format my HDD! Thanks HP :) So the only thing replaced was...

Some of you may have seen my other thread about BoxBuilder, which I have now opened for registration... BoxBuilder will allow you to build a computer parts list, much like how computer boutique websites allow you to. In addition, BoxBuilder will generate forum code which you can paste here to...

Just installed the Everest trial in order to take the temp of my ATI 3650... It averages the following: Regular usage (browsing internet, coding, etc): 48 C F@H GPU Client with viewer open: 71 C I also smell something when running at full load (F@H and Crysis), but to me, it just...

After being inspired by custom computer builders, I set out to recreate the computer building apps that are found on most computer builder sites. Unlike computer builder sites, my site runs off of NewEgg prices (I manually add them and change them so I don't overload NewEgg with bots or...

After another series of screen tint problems, I finally cracked-- I need a new computer, and I am willing to build it now. Below is a compilation of a series of thread searches, as well as some suggestions other members have provided in my own threads (as well as some parts I have found to...

Right now, it looks like I have two good canidates for a new prebuilt computer... The $1200 Gateway® FX6710-01 Summary: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor1 Q9400 (2.66GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 2 x 3MB L2 cache) 6144MB 800MHz Dual-Channel DDR2 SDRAM (2-2048MB modules & 2-1024MB Modules), up to 8GB ATI...

After buying an 8500GT from Newegg, my computer doesn't seem to like it... It just won't display anything upon booting. NOW, my screen is tinted CYAN! It is terribly blinding to look at for hours, and I do a lot of programming/reading... My motherboard has also been recalled because of the...

What card would you choose if you had to buy one of these (and I mean if you could ONLY buy one or the other, no other choices :p) Nvidia 8500GT 512MB (Has a fan) Radeon HD 4350 512MB (Has a fan) Also, which has better 3D preformance? Thanks :)

I am looking to upgrade a computer with: Radeon 4850 512MB Video card OR a 4870 512MB (Which one should I get?) Possibly a PSU if the default can't handle it... Would the HP Pavilion a6660t be ok for upgrading? It has a 300W PSU by default, but I am swapping that out with a 500W psu...

I am looking into buying a new computer, mainly because my Slimline can't handle any new games... It is a great computer for schoolwork, but it doesn't really run any games :p I have seen some ads with computers that have the following specs: Dual NVidia 512mb 8600GT cards 600W PSU Dual...

I recently bought a NVidia 8500 GT for my Slimline, and for about 3 days it was working terrificly. Nothing was wrong with it until 3 days ago... I turned my computer off at about 7:30PM, and the next day my monitor showed "No Input" before turning black. I checked ALL cables, including...

I am looking to upgrade my Slimline s3100n, but I need to choose a card... I know that a 8400 GS will fit and work and I know a 8500 GT will fit (and I think it should work fine...) I would really prefer to get a 8600 GT, but I can't find one ANYWHERE... So that means I have two...
