I live in a shed in the back of a drunks house. And have two torn discs in my back which has driven me out my crappy minimum wage job. So no, I do not think it is unethical. Some people have it better, plain and simple.

What do you use to test the harddrive for bad sectors?
All these programs are on the ultimate boot disc aren't they?

I am getting a new Samsung hd501lj. I will have only XP installed for now. I will be using this computer mainly for gaming. I might have some mp3's but seeing as they aren't a priority I was wondering if I could partition the hard drive to put the games and OS at the outer layer and the excess stora...

I finished it. I just need to make some type of holder for the fan because it is mounted outside the case. My circle looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I bought some 1/4" chicken wire because the stock grill is kinda constrictive. Im still trying to figure out how I want to use it. Dremels are...

Anyone know a good place to find metal mesh for sale? I can only find frozencpu.com Would lowes or home depot sell anything like that?

I started. I cut out the rear fan hole, I want to add some modder's mesh <or equivalent> to replace it. It looks really good. Its a perfect square and I only cut myself once! Now All I have to do is good at cutting large circles.

Ive ordered all the parts and my power works 250mm fan has arrived first. I am going to Wal-mart today to get my dremel and cut the hole for the fan. I will have to mount it outside of the case as my 120 Ultra X won't fit with the 30mm fan mounted inside the case. Ive never dremeled before, so if yo...

Mainly this has come about because I am building a new computer and also getting a htib soon. I was trying to cut cost by eliminating the need for another set of speakers. The TV will still be used to watch movies, and the onkyo htib will provided the sound. Then I want to be able to switch and list...

Ive read that you can only get 2.1 audio out of that card? Is this true. I wanted to get 5.1 surround for gaming, and be able to watch movies on my tv by switching buttons on the remote or something.

Assuming it has digital outputs what is the cheapest sound card that has digital inputs?

I was thinking of getting an onkyo Home theater in Box system and using it as my new computer speakers. Will I have to do anything special or have any converters or special sound cards to make this work? Will I be able to get 5.1 on the computer with them? I would like to have them hooked up where I...

I found out that they sell black and decker and a few other brands at wal-mart, so I think ill buy one and return it a couple days later once im done with it. As I dont think ill ever use it again, at least not in the next 2-3 years.

I would prefer for it to be cheap because I won't be using it too much. Maybe $50. or so, thanks.

ill buy that x-fi platinum for $50.US

I just want the best card for gaming under $50.US Compatibility is more important than getting the very best card. But it does have to be better than motherboard sound.

So what would you recommend for a gaming card under $50.???
I guess it has to be creative, I will probably be using logitech z530's, and sometimes headphones. I listen to music, but I mainly want it for games.

I went into circuit city the other day and looked at a few. The Samsung is much brighter and has prettier colors than the viewsonic. I dont understand the viewing angle thing. I could way off to the side and see the screen fine <not that I would ever be looking at it from that angle> If you are look...

Is there any real difference is the new model Creative cards? I still have an old Audigy LS card I was thinking of using in my new rig. I dont mind buying a new card for under $50. But I would like to notice the difference.

So the 226 is about to have a new revision with better colors, the 226cw. I wonder if its worth waiting for.

Do most games allow for wide screen format now? I have never owned an LCD let alone a widescreen. I hate to think that I would have black bars down the side when I game

I wanted to get a larger monitor with my new computer. It looks like 22" is the new sweet spot as far as price/performance. Here are the candidates I have narrowed it down to. Viewsonic VG2230wm Highly Awarded Viewsonic Q22wb Looks like same specs but cheaper? Any differences I wonder? Samsung 226BW...

Is there a reason that no case manufacturers are using anything like rubber drive rails or something to help isolate the drives from the case?

How is the metal quality in these cases. I read some reviews that say they are thin and flimsy? Any vibration? Which case do you prefer?

Why the X2? Right now intel is on top. A e4300 lightly overclocked will cream anything that AMD has out right now, and they will soon drop in price to $113. Also 4 harddrives are going to be loud. They have larger capacity harddrives out now, 1TB drives will be released shortly, and 500-750GB hardri...

Found it, protocase. But I remember why I forgot about them now. Tomshardware built a case and paid $1400. for it, ouch! For that much I could just buy the tools and build it myself.

Someone linked a company a while back that lets you design your own case and they build it for you. I cant find it now, Ive done tons of searchs for it. I can not remember how much they charge, but I dont have the tools to build a case out of metal, and I wasn't as interested in building a wooden ca...

How about everyone and their grandmother owning an SUV or Hummer now. Before rap got big people use to drive cars. But now everyone wants to be a gansta

I was thinking more of a case 12"x12"x8" and cut the corner off of a 250mm to make a blower out it. Then mount it inside the case, but the case doesnt have holes on the side, only on the back. It sucks the air from the inside and shoots it out the back.

Hey I was thinking last night, what if you made a 250mm fan into a blower like you did with the 120mm fan and mounted it on the side or a case without a 250mm hole. So you are using it as an exhaust but its a blower so it pushes the air out the back. What do you think?

With the big fan installed in the case suspended how far do you have to undervolt it to make it basically silent?

Yea and also lian li's are so bland.
I love the QH02-black but I cant pay $200 shipping from australia to get one.

I asked thermaltake when it will be on the market and got this reply. Thank you for interest in Thermaltake products. Max Orb will be released to Market within 4-6 weeks. I think that it is a solid design, It may be in a new class of heavy weights with the 120 Ultra Extreme. And yea it looks like it...
