    Anybody else use only the onboard audio?

    Onboard sound works fine for me, but then again I'm half deaf from working on turbine engined helicopters in the Army for 20 years. So as long as I can hear it go boom when I frag something, it's all good...................;)

    Still have Pc-3200?

    CPU's cost to much to let them run there all the time, I have to make a CPU last a long time and save up for each part I buy.

    Still have Pc-3200?

    Only bench it there and play some games at those speeds................:D Most of the time it's running at a mild 9x250 1.45 bios........:cool:

    Are LCD displays reliable?

    I've only had my LCD for about 3 months now (no name from Wal-Mart) and it has performed perfectly from day one. It even games pretty good for a cheap no-name 19" LCD.

    Still have Pc-3200?

    Check the timings..............it's OCZ with BH5 IC's, they don't go much higher at those timings.............;), Now if I were to looen the timings on TCCD ram (just about any brand) I can get to DDR600 out of a good set...............:) but they won't push those tight of timings at DDR500.

    New Chipset Heatsink?

    I guess I've got the exception to the rule NF4 chip set.................:) I'm running the stock cooler with it turned down to where I can't hear it over the other fans in the system and it hasn't gone over 40c that I've seen. But my UFO case does run pretty much at room temp..............;)...

    Monster Rig.

    Well, after a lot of thought, I decided to get one of the new Swiftech triple radiators for about half the price of the thermochill. That way I can run the dual 120mm for the video card and use the triple for the CPU, that should keep things pretty cool I think................ ;) And still...

    Monster Rig.

    Here's a bit on the update I'm talking about. I kind of got tired of the huge heater cores I had in my UFO , so I decided that I wanted to change things around a bit and to get rig of some weight along the way. So I pulled both heater cores and everything that went along with them and for...

    Monster Rig.

    If it's worth it or not is more a personal thing these days unless you're planning on running max OC's all the time. With air cooling the sound of a high speed fan 24/7 would drive me up a wall, where with water cooling there isn't much noise at the same OC at all. To me it's worth it, plus it's...

    Thermaltake Releases SLI GPU Only PSU

    I saw that on TT site a little bit ago, it should come in pretty handy for folks with high-end dual video card setups. I was talking to some folks on some other forums abot it and we were wondering what the thing will cost........Where did you find the $50 price tag Matt?????

    How much is too much for a video card?

    Same here, 1280x1024 is all I ever do, my X800XL does just fine at all games at standard settings. I'm to busy trying to stay alive to worry about the pretty suroundings to even notice how they look...............;) I would say $300 is about tops for me, but I haven't paid cash for a card in...

    NVIDIA's SLI Shortchanges Gamers?

    Nvidia has had this attidude for some time now (benchmark performance that is) but so has ATI to a lesser extent. That's one small reason I will not run SLi even though I still like Nvidia cards for a single card setup................:cool:

    Where are you from?

    Never got a chance to take any pics..............:eek: A friend of mine (lives down the street) has a Bobcat service and he was out fixing the entire street the next morning.............:) And to top it off, he did it for free except for the cost of the rock fill, he has to be one of the...

    Where are you from?

    I lived up in the Grand Rapids area back when I was a kid, I don't remember exactly where anymore, it was a long time ago...........:eek: All I really remember is that it was really cold during the winter and hotter than all-get-out in the summer.
