Ok, so, much like the other poll about the age of gamers, what do you spend the MOST TIME gaming on. Using a PS3 for Netflix etc doesn't count, only for gaming....

So, on the front page news is an article about the average gamer being 37 years old... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20069682-17/a-childs-hobby-average-gamer-is-37-years-old/ Well, what age bracket do you fall into? I'm 41, and have been gaming since the early eighties and the heyday of...

I posted this in Genmay, but thought it would come in handy here too as alot of people don't have access to that (YOU SHOULD!!) Does anyone else have a large movie collection? I do...about 1800 movies. I know we're mostly PC people here, but to watch them I use a Patriot Box Office media...

Ok, so my main drive is a Corsair Force Series 128gb SSD. I've installed only some small programs on it, such as Spybot, etc. My second drives are WD640AAKS Black drives. (and some 2tb storage drives for media) Is there any benefit to me installing Steam onto the SSD and all my games...

HELP!!! GRRRR.... I have the system in the sig, but today I got a deal on some G.Skill Ripjaw series RAM. A 12gb kit, 3 x 4gb modules. CPUZ shows 12gb, but windows only shows 8...what's the deal??? I have XMP turned off. Not sure what else to do here...

has anyone had any experience printing simultaneously to two printers at once? I need one to print from the serial port (already configured) and the other from USB. Any ideas?

So, the system is in the sig... Here's the problem...first, is the RAM...CPU-Z is telling me it's running @ 562Mhz. Does that seem low to anyone? Next, how the hell do I OC this thing?? What do i do first? I'd like the RAM to run at 1ghz, I have to believe it'll do that!! And I'd like...

So, this week I built a new rig (see signature).... I'm running my OS and Steam on my SSD, all my other programs and files are stored on the other drives. So far, everything is a stock clock speeds. Also not mentioned in the sig is my cooler...the Cooler Master V6, and although the...

Hi, I'm running the rig in the sig (love typing that!!!).... G.SKILL NQ Series DDR3 1600MHz (PC3-12800) is the RAM.... I'm not doing any photo or video editing, it's mostly for gaming. Would there be any benefit to running 12GB vs 6GB? If so, what? Thanks....

Is there any way to add a custom email signature in Gmail when NOT using Firefox? I'm using Chrome, and I can't seem to find a way to create custom sigs, I need one with custom text size, color and font, and I need to be able to add an image. Thanks in advance!

I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to Forza 3 gamers. IF you're going to be playing this game, please put your gamertag here and we can get a group of racers together. This is not a review thread or a I hate this I love that thread, just gamertags..... I'll try to keep the list updated...

Hey...just throwing this out there.... I'm setting up a system for Taco Bell. They've got an Emperor Gaming Chair that's running 3 monitors. The PC is an i7 920, 6gb RAM, and 2 ATI 4890's in Crossfire. Windows 7 is the OS. The triple monitor setup works amazing, but in game (Burnout...

ok, Google was no help at all... About 75% of my music collection is in 320kbps. This is HUGE. I have over 100gb of music on my iPod alone. I'd like to convert all the songs that are 320 to 256. I've listened to a couple of songs back to back and can't tell the difference when listening...

I saw one yesterday at a computer store (gratuitous plug...Canada Computers), and it was amazing. Very pretty.... However, I currently have a 1000HE, and I wouldn't trade it, even if there was no price difference....... First, the screen feels "wobbly" Second, the screen isn't LED backlit...

Ok, so this is a PC rant. I play a lot of COD4 Freeze Tag. The other night some guys asks what kind of frames per second I was getting, so I told him about 250. He says "That's IT?" I asked what he was getting he said something like 350. I asked what resolution, he said 1024x768. I told...

Ok, my work laptop has a 160gb hdd. It says that I have 92gb free of 142. I know that there's a partition on the laptop of Vista (6gb) and that the disk space you see is less than what there actually is, BUT.... I only have a few programs installed on my PC, and they don't take up more than...

I just picked up this board because I wanted to build my PC into a smaller case. I really didn't even know that 1366 boards came in m-atx, and stumbled across it by accident. Now I'm running the system in the sig, and man, is this ever a great board! I thought I'd be taking a step down from...

Yesterday I went to look for my downloads, they're stored on a seperate partition on my 1tb WD drive. This is what I found, and the message is what I got when i try to do anything with the disk. Has anyone else had this problem? The other two partitions work just fine. I've saved all my...

This guy needs to do some research. http://i.gizmodo.com/5220277/cnbc-is-ridiculous-macs-come-with-photoshop-pcs-need-600-extra-to-perform-as-well-as-a-mac

What do I replace the white TIM stuff with on my GPU? Do I just use thermal compound? Or is this something different? Will the AS5 make contact with the heatsink, because this stuff looks thick, where as the AS5 is a very thin layer.... Thanks!!

Soooo.... My case was just too big. After some research I found that this would work: Putting two GTX285's with an Enermax Revolution PSU, a Scythe Mugen 2 cooler, 4 hard drives, and two dvd drives into the NZXT Rogue case... It required replacing my mobo with the Asus Rampage II GENE m-ATX...

Hi... Does anyone else here have the 1000HE? Is there a way to disable the flashing blue lights on the damn thing? They're driving me NUTS. I'm referring to the battery/hdd/wifi lights. Thanks

I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.... I'm looking for a full ATX cube case that will hold 4 hdd's and 2 x 285's. I know this is a lot to ask of a small case, and the air flow will have to be incredible, but there has to be something out there.... HELP...

So, I recently upgraded my netbook. My little Acer ran like a charm for a year, but I got the opportunity to upgrade for about $100, and I felt this was worth while. Here's why: The LED backlit screen on the Asus is amazing, no more viewing angle problems, 10x brighter (when needed), and...

Sometimes (VERY RANDOM) when I'm playing Grid, there's a slow down. This IS NOT a drop in FPS, the frame rate stays normal. It's like the CPU/RAM are trying to catch up or something. Very weird.... Has anyone else had this issue? HELP, it's driving me NUTS!!

I just bought an Asus Eee PC (with a 160 gb hdd), and the drive came with a partition. I don't want this partition. It's 60gb, and the main partition (obviously) is 100gb. I'd like one big drive, how do I get rid of the 60gb partition and merge it with my main "C" drive??? Thanks

Has anyone tried these? How are they in comparison to something like the AD-HD700's from Audio Technica? Thanks!!

Well, another week, another review..... Today, I was the happy recipient of the new Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard. I also have to again apologize for the quality of the pics, I'm really not much of a photographer, but I hope they give you the idea! This is NOT going to be a long drawn out...

Ahhh, headset reviews, these are difficult at best because it's sort of like reviewing food. Not everyone likes the same thing. Some people like flat sound, some people like bass heavy, others, like a bit more midrange...it's all a matter of taste. Now, with that said, there is such a thing as...

Back from the dead!!! I play COD 4...ALOT!! BUT, I don't play the vanilla game. I play on Freeze Tag servers. This is a fantastic mod for the game. The objective (for those that don't know) is to shoot your opponent, which freezes them into a block of ice. Then it's up to their team mates...

So I've got an Asus P6T Deluxe V2... My keyboard is a G15. I can't get into the BIOS with the keyboard (I have a PS2 keyboard plugged in for that). The USB keyboard isn't "active" until after windows loads. Does ANYONE know anything about this? HELP!!! I hate having two keyboards hooked...

SOOOooo.... I have an interesting issue.... I have the NZXT Sentry LX, and it controls all of my fans, EXCEPT my CPU fan, and that's because there are two fans on the CPU in parallel. It seems to have some trouble with that... I need a piece of software that will PROPERLY control my fan...

has anyone here tried overclocking this board yet?? I'm working on it, but I'm having some trouble getting it stable...there's just too much in the BIOS for me to comprehend... I tried uploading a bios from another forum, that only locked up my pc...CMOS reset time!! I'm running watercooling...

Soooo... I'm starting a new build, but I need some advice first. I've got two GTX285's in SLI. I'm going to watercool them. I'm going to TRY to use the two Swiftech MCW-60 R2 waterblocks I have here. I can't find any info ANYWHERE...Will they work? Also, how much better are copper ram sinks...

So... In the following ramble, all settings and testing were done at 1920x1200 Also, everything is air cooled. Granted, with the fans making quite a bit of noise (don't want to hurt my new toy)!! I upgraded my rig...I went from an Intel X6800 Extreme up to the i7 920, and from the GTX 280 up...

So these are coming out in March... http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/pc_gaming/headsets_microphones/devices/5095&cl=us,en Is anyone else gonna pick up a pair? I like the fact that they're USB. I know I won't get the benefit of a sound card, but I'm hoping that the sound quality of the...
