Oh yes I backup on additional computers and an external hard drive. Right now my new build is in a state where it's not a big deal to reinstall/format/whatever in order to maximize performance. Thank you to everyone for the information - it's helped a ton.

So SRT isn't worth the hassle?

Good info here - I'll look into Raid 5. I did use the Control + I method to create my array. Am I able to do that with AHCI set in my BIOS and will I need F6 drivers? (Googling my butt off, a lot of people disagree on the whole AHCI vs BIOS settings)

Thanks for the quick reply Danny. If I do keep this setup, shouldn't I change my SATA setup in my BIOS to AHCI instead of RAID? If I understand correctly, AHCI has additional features that drives can utilize.

I have been a fan of [H] for so very long. 90% of my PC purchases have been a direct result of information obtained on these forums and I have had nothing but wonderful results. However, I feel lost when it comes SSD/HDD configurations. I have always been one of those people who just...

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone?

The main reason I love AMD is because the first CPU I ever overclocked was AMD. It was a mere 200MHz. That's a low OC by today's standards, but I was (and still am) amazed by the performance I can squeeze out of AMD products.

email removed Would love you forever for an invite! I would definitely make sure to keep the invite train rolling :) Thanks for anything you can do!

The first thing I thought to myself was that it looks pretty and might make my girlfriend jealous. However, if I had to pick one feature I'd go with the flip-open design. We all know that "Dang, I need to take apart my PC to fix this one little thing" feeling. This case looks like it makes...

Liquid performance with zero maintenance you say? AND it's Antec? You had me at hello.

Quake with the original Team Fortress Black Ops

I'm using tin cans for headphones. They don't work so well. Pick me! Pick me!

He-Man would be better off with XPower because he could finally defeat Skeletor with a cheese photon cannon rush in Starcraft II.

I remember a couple of times [H]ardOCP would post an article with the best builds for a $1000 and $2000 budget. I thought it was around December (before xmas) when they did this. Anyone know? I ask because my cousin wants an entirely new system and doesnt have a huge budget. And of course...

I still play, but I'm starting to get tired of it all. Neurofreeze was right when he said you have to be in an uber guild for any serious end game action. Unfortunately my server is full (like have to wait to log in), and all the MC/BWL guilds already have 40 members they are trying to gear...

I'm having the same problem, except on a 2500+ and A7N8X motherboard. My "stuttering" occurs randomly, but only during games. I *think* I fixed it, as I gamed a lot yesterday and had no problems. Here's what I did - defragged all hard drives scandisk all hard drives ad aware (full...

Weird, I didn't have any problems when I woke up. I'm thinking it was my cable provider. If it happens again though I'll know for sure. And thanks so much for the information on powerline networking, that is a PERFECT solution for my apartment (no phone line and I hate wireless) :)

Ok, the weirdest thing happened tonight. I have a 25 ft ethernet cable (one of those nifty "flat" cables) that connects my PC to my router. Tonight I decided to hide the cable. The router is on the other side of my room from the PC. So I ran it under the carpet for about 3 feet, then hid...

Because I'm looking at a $275 one at the moment :D

The refurbs are amazing deals. The lack of a longer warranty is a little scary though. I've noticed a lot of sites say they test them for 24 hours and that the monitor might come with dings/scratches... How risky is it to buy a refurb w/o a long warranty?

I'm sorta anti-LCD unless it can do 1600x1200...and thanks for the link, altho I don't know about getting a used monitor...don't they have like 6 month warrantys?

My ViewSonic A90 has died after about 3 or 4 years of use. I had hoped it would last longer, but such is life... On to the questions! I've got $250ish to spend on a monitor. I need a 19" CRT for gaming that will go nicely with my 6800GT I just ordered. I've found a ViewSonic G90fb for...

I've been reading, reading, reading, and more reading. The 6800GT wins some reviews, the X800 Pro wins some reviews. I've decided to leave it up to you guys (well, I'll consider your opinions anyways...:D) Here are my system specs: Asus A7N8X Deluxe v2.0 XP 2500+ (not overclocked...yet)...

If it's Hyper X I'll take one.

Problem solved. This post can be deleted.

Absolutetly amazing.

Could this be related to this? Whenever I turn my comp on or reboot my quickbar is gone. When I enable it all my icons are there but in a different order. Anyone help me out?

After running ad-aware and deleting a ton of shit it detected I started going through my ad/remove programs list. Well I removed a couple of things then I uninstall the Painkiller SP Demo but it popped up a window that was blank with the buttons yes and no. I had no idea what to do so I...

Can the police really do anything or are you fucked? :(
