Anyone have any strong feelings for or against any of Newegg's available products? Or is it pretty much just different names colors and the same quality of product at this price range?

I don't think I saw anything about that in the Centurion manual, but I could've missed it. Cooler Master manuals are usually pretty terrible.

Thanks for all the help guys. Eventually the barebones setup just totally died on me while I was messing around with it. Total failure to post. The only signs of life are a blue power LED on the mobo and the fans spin up for about a second before going off. I went ahead and took the mobo in to...

Same problem. Randomly just shuts off. No error code.

I have the 122-CK-NF68-BR Tried swapping out the PSU, that didn't work. Where would I get a static free insulated surface like that? Not exactly a knowledgable hardware person here. Could I just go buy a big foam pad at walmart or something? I'm not entirely sure how my GPU melted. I left my...

Just replaced the PSU and it didn't fix the problem so a mobo short sounds like a good call.

I did that with my first custom build :P The DS3 manual says nothing about mobo mounts and I killed the board the moment I hit my power switch on my CM Centurion

Is there a way to check specifically for shorts, PCKid?

Don't have the old video card...It melted. I just got back from being out for 5 hours and the computer is running fine right now. I'd imagine this is going to last about 20 minutes, like it did last time I left it alone for along time. And then it's going to power off. I already tried 1 stick...

Thermaltake Toughpower 700 Watt PSU E6600 CPU X1950 PRO GPU My cooler is a Cooler Master RC30 or whatever, it's a gimp water cooling setup but it seems to be doing its job. I left the computer off for about 20 minutes and was able to power it up and it stayed on for a good 30 seconds before...

I have an NVIDIA EVGA 680i Motherboard. I recently replaced my graphics card and also reformatted my computer. Put the new card in, installed windows, mobo drivers, graphics card drivers, and while I was installing the drivers for my X-Fi the computer just powered off. When I push the power...

How new is this mouse? Anyone out there have any opinions of it? Thinking of trying it outl. Currently using an MX518, but I'm not a big fan of these large logitech mice.

This has absolutely nothing to do with a debate about currently purchasing a graphics card. What is relevant is that you are choosing to pay the same amount of money for a card that is less future proof and definitively outperformed by another card on the market. Clearly an illogical choice...

If you're a gamer, I'd be careful about widescreen. I had a 1440 x 900 19" widescreen LCD and I had to use quite a few workarounds to get a lot of games to play in the native res. I have the VX922 now and it's incredible. I never notice any ghosting. I'm a competitive CSS player, and play other...

Didn't read the thread but in case no one has pointed out to you, the x1900xtx is more expensive than an 8800 GTS, which outperforms it, and the G80 cards support direct X 10. Of course, in about a month or so, the R600 series from ATI should be coming out. These cards support DX10 as well, may...
