    My slimline mATX gaming plans: trying to find most performance-equivel

    OK, I guess I'll skip the WD Velociraptors and go back to the 2x320GB 16MB cache Seagate ones I was planning on before. It's just that I don't need high capacity for this system. I never really considered HTPC case before because I thought they were just made to look prettier than other mATX...

    My slimline mATX gaming plans: trying to find most performance-equivel

    Hi there. I'm just looking for some perspective on an mATX system I'm looking to build. The system is mainly built as a dedicated system for racing games (rfactor, GTR Evolution) I like to play and maybe some other casual gaming. My current desktop system can handle the games I currently play...

    Dual monitor setup advice: 2 seperate cards or just 1?

    Well, I wasn't planning on using the second monitor for the games, more of an auxiliary monitor for multi-tasking, especially to show my music player while I'm gaming. So, yeah, light duty graphics processing is the goal. I just didn't know if it sounded like a better idea to keep the Radeon...

    Socket 939 Upgrade - 940 and AM2

    Hi there. I haven't posted here much in a long time but I'm currently trying to research this topic for my own. I have an old ABit AT8 mobo that uses socket 939. Now, as I read this, it is safe to assume I can actually fit an Opteron of the same socket type into my mobo and it will work with it...

    Does anydbody know of a good Micro ATX case?

    I'm new here. Hi. Short introduction: I do stuff with computers. Now that I got all that out of the way, I'm here for some help. I recently built myself a small computer for the purpose of storing my mp3s and being able to play/listen to them in another room. (The website where I did my best to...
