New build, need some advice - nVidia card

Bump -> I'd like to get a recommendation for an nVidia card. I'd like to spend between $50 and $80 on the card. I had ASUS EN8600GTTOP/HTDP/256 GeForce 8600 GT in my cart which is currently $55 after rebate. Good card or should I make a change there? I'd like to pull the trigger before...

New build, need some advice - nVidia card

I searched newegg.com for ATI 3650 and found quite a few cards. Is there a big difference in manufacturers? One reason I ask is this Asus card seems to have similar / same specs to the card you linked but is "silent" using passive cooling instead. The reviews don't look so good - so...

New build, need some advice - nVidia card

Not for the same reason, but I just edited and swapped with an Intel board using the p35 chipset. Thanks modoheo :beer: Any one else have some good recommendations for video cards or anything else in the mix.

It is always better to read the stickies before posting: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. General desktop. Lots of terminal windows. Linux + Compiz-Fusion 2. What YOUR budget is. $600 - $800 3. What country : US 4. brand preference. Intel CPU, AMD or Nvidia - so long as well supported...

Office Depot...Notebook deals

I finally got my HP dv8000 today (ordered 2 weeks ago). I'm really impressed with this laptop. I upgraded a few things (screen resolution, DVD burner, Turion64). There are two things I don't like about this laptop: 1.) No DVI out (but for the cost I can't complain) 2.) Broadcom 802.11 is...

Parallels Desktop for Mac - $49.99 special

Has anyone tried printing to a printer connected to the Mac? After seeing a co-working run this, here was my thought: Setup the printer on the Mac and share it across the network (mac = static IP) Setup a shared printer on the XP guest OS to print to the printer on the Mac. ???

Seagate 750GB SATA Hard Drive $430 at NewEgg.com

Couple 15 of them with a 3Ware 9550sx-16ML and a SuperMicro case and you'd have ~9.7TB with a hot spare in a RAID 5.

Is my keyboard dead? (spilled coffee on it)

My previous IT job was for a 3PL warehouse and I would take the dirty warehouse keyboards apart and put them in the dish washer. After a 2 day air dry, they were re-assembled, worked great and were *new* again. I never ruined a keyboard doing this. I don't know about the wireless mac...

cheap system for linux? $189.00 no rebates

I'd have to agree with Playa, that is a little steep for an AMD1400 system w/those specs and a 90 day warranty. As far as the OS is concerned, CentOS is RedHat Enterprise Linux repackaged by the Community Enterprise OS team - CentOS. It all depends on your application as to what distro is...

160gb PATA hard drive at the TIGER for $30 AR... Seagate 7200.9

$115 rebate is too much to put on the line for 160GB. The only way TD can offer this is if they count on the majority of rebates to be rejected or people to fail to send them in. IF it works, it is hot, but I don't want to take the chance of paying $145 for a 160GB disk.

Confused about gigabit switch/jumbo frames/router

You are wrong, but getting into a discussion on that could / would lead to a rather nasty un-educated argument (not that you are not educated, but there are so many different things that can be pulled off the web supporting both sides of an argument and a lot of it is very far fetched). We'll...
