    Looking for a program to fix dead pixels..

    BAM! This is a little guide to help you remove dead or stuck pixels from an LCD screen. There's 2 videos at the bottom that are supposed to flash different colors at 30fps. The damp cloth suggestion I've seen in numerous places. Good luck Rob!

    Anybody else try to get 3 years out of their computer?

    lol... That's probably because there's nothing else out there that would work with it. Still, that's good considering it's 9 years old and the original parts still work!

    Vista is not so memory hungry

    512 maybe, but with the amount of pc's it'll be installed on I doubt 1Gb is going to be recommended. The specs XP has were quite lower than I had expected. I wouldn't expect Vista to be too much higher than a 700Mhz 256Mb machine. If that.

    Coolest keyboard ever?

    I'll stick to my Logitech Elite. It's got all I need, media control, hotkeys etc. That G15 looks like a monster, something I don't plan on ever needing lol.

    Windows Media Center Format

    Thanks Fuss for replying... I had to catch up on some very much needed rest from work.. I hit the bed about 2 yesterday afternoon and didn't wake til 8 this morning. I hope you got it all figured out Zaza. The Ati software was pretty easy to use when I had it. :)

    Vizo Luxon External HDD Enclosure

    Niiiice! I love the look of it. As you mentioned, the ventilation would be a drawback if someone was using it constantly. Firewire was another option that would have been nice to see as well. I like the all aluminum construction and the SATA option. With SATA becoming the standard it's good to...

    Battlefield 2142

    That does look very very good. It reminds me too much of UT2k4 though :o. I'll probably end up checking out the demo and if it's ok then I'll buy it. They'll never replace the original no matter how you try. I just find that the first in any series is much better than the rest. I think it's the...

    How much is too much for a video card?

    What resolution do you normally run games? Like Rob mentioned, the 7800GTX is best suited for resolutions above 1280x1024. You can pick up a new <a href ="http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?item=J67602">7900GT</a> which is a good bit better than the 7800GT for under $300.

    AMD's AM2 vs 939

    You're correct in that statement, BUT if you're overclocking your ram you have to loosen up the timings. So that, IF your ram needs an extra clock to perform an action it has the time to.

    Anybody else try to get 3 years out of their computer?

    That's what I had in my last pc and I loved it. I managed 2.2Ghz with the patriot ram, and a shoddy motherboard. My original processor got a chip on the die and wouldnt' work on the motherboard. Well I kept it and bought another one. I then built a pc with the chipped processor for a friend of...

    Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB Mobile HDD

    Those numbers were quite surprising considering the rpm speed. I know laptop components cost more overall, but I do think that's a tad bit much for only 160Gb. The new PMR system you were talking about doubles the amount of hardware needed for construction. I'd think it would end up thicker, but...

    Anybody else try to get 3 years out of their computer?

    My last one was built in 2003 and I just built a new one. I plan on upgrading in two years, but not build a whole new computer. When you start with a great platform like Socket 939, you can expect to pick up great parts at a fraction of what they would have cost new. You just have to wait or...

    Windows Media Center Format

    I'm assuming you're using a video input card. If you're using an Ati, their software allows you to save under any codec you want. Avi, Mpeg, DivX etc. and you can even do the audio the same way. Not knowing which input device you're using it's hard to say, but you may find that Ati's software...

    Amazing guy!!

    Down came the rain, and washed the picture out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. The Chalk Sidewalk Drawer drew pictures again.

    Jakal calls me an idiot!

    Can I explain? PLX? There's this guy I met that thought he knew everything there was to know about pc's. Well, he needed to swap out power supplies for a gateway case. I stood around while this guy popped off a jerry-rigged plexiglass side.. I mean the side was just a piece of plexiglass, I'm...
