    Worth it or not?

    Good morning...the cat/nocturnal law student here! I've done a quick search, and here's a site that had decent stuff at a reasonable price: http://www.scan.co.uk/ They certainly didn't have everything newegg.com has...well, newegg pretty much has almost everything... Some things, like cooling...

    Is water cooling worth it?

    Oh so sad, my 7800GT refuses to go higher than 460/1100...perhaps I shall get a memory heatspreader...and today, for the first time, I've seen my VGA hit 70 deg. Celsius! Well, by next month, I'll either have a DFI Infinity or ECS (the better and more recent one, but forgot the exact name)...

    Is water cooling worth it?

    The thing is, my GPU, if reported correctly, doesn't get much hot. So I decided not to get it. Yeah..if it does get hot, I'd have it already. My main thing is the 40mm fan that screeching inside my system....that little crybaby, makin some noise so long as my PC is on.

    NVIDIA tells us the truth about CrossFire

    Ya. As official presentation material, it's tough to really take anything but their propaganda, although I am very interested in seeing a back-to-back benchmarking between the best of the corporations. nVidia might actually have the edge as they vigorously present with their slides.

    ATI X1 series soon :D!

    Best of luck, I suppose... A whole lot of investors' interest (money) is at stake. When ATI fails, I'll have some invester class-action lawsuit to check out, if things really get bad. Hahah..

    CAS vs FSB

    Wow it's so old of a thread that ended in such awkward manner! But this is an important subject! I found that my VGA works much much better with a processor with high clock-speeds. I am aware of the technical reasons, but let's leave that for somewhere else. With my memory running at...

    What's your headset?

    Do you mean, you have a separate mic, sitting in front of you, like in a studio??? Wow, now that's hardcore man. You must be the general in BF2 or something, issuing orders 24/7!! :D

    Is water cooling worth it?

    I have an Acetec Waterchill. Yeah, it's nice and quiet. The only sound I hear are those damn system fan and VGA fan. I had switched from a Socket 754 AGP DFI board to a eVGA Sli board, but the newer board is impossible to watercool, with the VGA blocking the system fan. So I get really good...

    AMD vs. Intel

    In my ignorant days, I thought Intel was great because...well...I've never heard of an alternative. lol Upon arriving to the US for college, I came upon people who build their own computers, and was introduced to AMD. Most kids still believe that AMD is inferior to Intel quite blindly. Kids...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    My 3800+ X2 has been working quite nicely. I have Folding@Home running almost 24/7, music running whenever I actually am at the computer, with CS:S running, while AIM and MSN is running with me switing in and out of the game. After switching from my old single-cored PC, it's been nice that I...

    How to NOT set up a RAID.

    Hahaha...yeah, seeing that my new MaxLine III w/ 250Gb, 16Mb cache, SATA II, and NCQ, doesn't seem like I need the extra speed that RAID users talk about! I suppose data security by mirroring might be of use to people who really really need the back-up. Besides shaking your HDD violently while...

    Altec Lansing AHS602i Gaming Headset

    Unfortunately, it is not a portable headset...unless one's decked out MP3/CD player has a USB port. So no, this thing doesn't have the battery option. I suppose the designers did not have portability in mind!

    Altec Lansing AHS602i Gaming Headset

    Yeah, I know that...it's just that my headset has the audio jacks and usb, where the usb is the power source for the bass/viration function...if that is in fact a real function! heh.. Ok, back to landlord & tenancy law..

    SLi - Yes or No on your new rig?

    Dammit I forgot where I read this, but I am sure this is on the nVidia site. They claim superiority over all of what Crossfire has to offer, from the mobo to the cards. Now that I have a 7800gt myself, though, I won't be entertaining the idea of switching to Crossfire anytime soon. Having a...

    Altec Lansing AHS602i Gaming Headset

    I wonder why the headset isn't powered via USB. I've had numerous trips over the Pacific from college in Ohio to my home in Tokyo with a headphone that had noise cancelling powered by batteries. Yeah, after a while, I had to become creative with the modual that controlled the sound and noise...

    What's your headset?

    hmm My headset is definately vibrating...hmm, it'll be hillarious if it is something that's loose, since it's doing a great job at creating the impression of build-in SubWoofers! So when I turn on the vibration by flipping a switch, I do feel the vibration that i would feel from standing in...

    How to NOT set up a RAID.

    I came close to this one! Yeah, I build a new system, but with one old HDD carrying over. I carefully read the lacking instructions about the nature of RAID, but Mirroring and Striping didn't sound friendly at the time. Good that I first went online and read about RAID. So now I am stuck...

    What's your headset?

    Here's mine I have an eDimensional Audio FX Force Feedback Gaming Headset. This thing cost me about $50 incl. shipping and tax, from Newegg. I can flip a switch and a USB powered bass/SW(?) inside the earpiece vibrates like mad listening to trance or going on a shottie rampage in CS:S! The...
