    How I keep my HDD's cool..

    Your image cannot be loaded. I have one fan on my Raptor and my 160MB media drive is on it's own. Ambient in my case never goes above 75* F so I am not personally worried about the temps of my HDD's. I would however like to get a Zalman heatpipe cooler for my Raptor as it does get...

    Looking for some cheap old ram.

    Whats wrong with Dell? They make PC's targeted towards companys and idiots who know nothing about PC's. They have the Gamer PC's that are marketed towards kids with either a lot of money or the lack of adventure that it takes to build your own PC. Dell is a great company and has tremendous...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    I am sure there is no where for them to go but down in price. Like I said, the introduction of the next gen of consoles I think will have a huge impact on the dual CPU support concerning software. I am not certain how long it will take as I am sure that it will take some time to get the game...

    Post a picture of your mobile PC!

    I hvae not had one problem with it yet. Doom 3 was a bit laggy but when I lowered the resolution a bit, all was well. HL2, CS:S, RoN....all my games play well enough on it. It certainly isnt a desktop replacement notebook but I am very happy with it. The Omega drivers are a blessing too, it...

    Wireless Networking and how not to get hacked

    WEP is still quite simple to crack but better than nothing. Tom's has a good article on the venerability of WEP. Either way, WEP is a great idea for anyone with a wireless access point and its easy to setup.

    List of Games You Think are Overrated.

    Not trying to piss anyone off but to me, Halo 1 is one of the greatest game ever released and Halo 2 is kick ass as well. To me, I think that Doom 3 was/is overrated. It's a turd of a game. I agree that the ending to HL2 was shitty but the game itself was amazing. The AI in Halo was very...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    Thanks for the welcome! I appreciate it. I would say wait a year or so when the current prices are bound to come down. AMD has all ready announced that they will be releasing lower level duals to compete with Intel so its only a matter of time before these hot babes become main stream. Also...

    Home Network

    I personally own a Linksys Wireless-G router and I love it. They are easy to work with and reliable. I have worked with pretty much all the main name brands and they all work as they should as well. I like netgear too. When you set it up, make sure you setup WPA as opposed to WEP. WEP is...

    If Mac OS was offered on PC, would you buy?

    The Dell/Intel thing is one of AMD points to take Intel to court. They are claiming that Intel is using bad business practices to strong arm the OEM's into useing their CPU's. This could be a interesting trial. I for one have bought a bit of AMD stock. I am hoping that it will leap up should...

    PC Cases

    Will Nave: I am using the same Antec SOHO case as you except I am sporting the black version. I absolutly love that case and it's sturdy as hell and just as heavy! It can be a bit loud when filled up with the 4 80mm's but its well worth it. I am about to mod mine with a window...

    Ballistix PC4000 OC'ing

    Rob, dont forget about the Zalman 7700 and the 7000. I have the 7000 and it kept my A64 3500 Winnie just above 30C idle and never got above 37 under load. The XP 90 and the 120 both are killer heatsinks but I am a fan of the Zalman. Another thing is a heatsink is only as good as the fan you...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    When I get the money up, I will most certainly be purchasing a 4400+. I love the chips and with 1MB L2 Cache x 2, who can argue with it? I am a computer engineering major but an taking a lot of graphics courses and while they dont exactly support dual core now, the programs that I use will in...

    SLi - Yes or No on your new rig?

    Well said madstork91. I would also consider myself to be a mainstream gamer. I honestly have no need for SLI and if I had the money, I would probably just get a bad ass proc rather than spen the money on SLI. AGP is dying but very slowly. I would be willing to bet that the AGP slot will be...
