    Any way to turn a PC into a multi connection video upconvertor?

    I only meant that a dedicated piece of equipment is usually better than a PC for a specific task. However, if you already have certain components and are on a budget, it could make sense. Personally, I love having a PC integrated into my home theater (a pretty grand term for a thirty two...

    Can I flash my bios with a CD rom?

    Also, you almost certainly have a used computer parts store locally where you can pick up a used floppy for a couple of bucks. I have one next door to my MicroCenter where I picked one up for about six bucks.

    Any way to turn a PC into a multi connection video upconvertor?

    I don't have an answer, but i do have a question. Why replace a two hundred dollar machine with a thousand dollar machine?

    drivers for sata drive when installing windows

    I've never slipstreamed Vista, but I would assume the concept is the same: the install program looks for certain directories on the source disk. If you can make an ISO image from the original disk, then you can overwrite those directories with the updated information.

    Yes, virtual machines are invaluable for testing out slipstreamed ISOs.

    drivers for sata drive when installing windows

    the above posts are correct. you need to make a slipstreamed winxp install CD or DVD that contains the necessary drivers. This site can be helpful: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp. It tapers off toward the end, in my opinion, but it has a lot of useful info on how to actually go...

    Do alot of you still use mousepads?

    Yes, they preserve the surface you are using. I had a wood desk that I did not use a mouse pad on, and the finish ended up wearing down noticeably. It also feels better to rest your wrist on something soft. I did use a blank sheet of paper for a while though.

    New Gaming Rig

    For a small budget today, rolling your own Socket 939 is the way to go. You won't have many upgrade options in the future, but for a system that would be good now and last a few years, Socket 939.

    Finalizing my purchase

    Looks good. Only one reviewer mentioned using G.Skill DDR2 with that Gigabyte mobo, but the review was favorable. You're lucky to save cash on the extra stuff too. I'm building a system right now as well, for a family member. With the goal of constructing a mid-range, high-performance...

    External Hard Drive recovery

    It sounds like that drive is failing or has failed. You could try connecting it directly to the motherboard directly bypassing the external case. But if the drive is dead already, you'd get the same error. I don't know how to recover data from a failed drive.

    Switched LCDs, not BF2 doesn't open

    My first guess as far as the app not opening would be that the video resolution is set too high in the game software. As far as the other symptoms...it's hard to say.

    First build blues - 2

    I bought two maxtor 250 gig drives at the same time about a year ago, and they both died on the same day last week! omg I am so pissed at maxtor right now because the 1 year warranty has just expired, and the drives fail. I never cared about warranties before but seagate give a 5 year warranty...

    Is my CPU DOA?

    Oh, and the Irony of of ironies...my monitor works just fine. the Biostar TForce 6100 does not disable the onboard video by default. Therefore if you want to use a video CARD you have to enter the bios and manually disable the onboard video. However, since the onboard video is vga, you need a...

    Is my CPU DOA?

    Yeah, I knew from the start I would be pushing it with such a low-power PSU. At least if I start having random crashes, I have a good idea what the problem is. I have already pushed the budget for this machine ... beyond the term budget. But whatever, it works and it will do what i need it...

    Is my CPU DOA?

    I borrowed a vga monitor from my neighbor and guess what. The screen works! Either my monitor is broken or the cable is bad or that adapter is crap.

    Is my CPU DOA?

    Well, I just went to microcenter and bought another 2800+ because I don't want to throw my weekend away. It still doesn't show video. What could it be? The power supply? the motherboard?

    fj, man. Neat and tidy with some big hardware. I am drooling. looks like you skimped on the processor to get a better video card and that raptor, but probably a good choice in the long run. nice.

    What was the first OS you've ever used?

    Dude, I was in an Atari ST user group back in middle school. That machine played some wicked games too; Populous, Dungeon Master, Falcon flight sim, International Karate....I had dozens of them. And that thing put my NES to shame. The Genesis gave it a pretty good run though, once the...

    MY 6800ultra adventure

    So. For the past month or so my computer would lock up while playing 3D games. About 1 minute into the game, I would loose the mouse and KB and few seconds later the speakers would screech. Then the computer would Blue Screen and reboot. The Blue Screen error message said something...

    What is the best KVM out there today?

    If you want a quality KVM switch, you're going to spend $100 to $150. With that said: Avocent looks like a solid chioice. I have a little Belkin 2-port OmniCube, and it barely gets the job done. I constantly wish I had at least three ports. Plus, my crappy KVM doesn't support USB...

    Why does it seem everyone is recommending Corsair Value Select recently?

    They're always available. They're cheap. They're a rock solid reliable. I put them in my family's lower-end desktops, and I've never had a problem with any of them. I prefer the XMS in my personal systems, so I can rule out memory issues as the likely culprit. With CVS you are not...

    I'm running an eVga 6800 Ultra on an Antec TruePower 430watt power supply. The minimum recommended power supply is 480W, yet I have not had a single issue with my card. This puppy is screaming. So, is anyone else running their 6800 under the minium specs? Does your card have issues...

    Anyone Here Have Dual Raptors?

    This was true, but is no longer the case. The 74gb drives shipped with a revised controller which made them faster than the original 36gb drives. That controller is now on both the new 36gb drives and all the 74gb drives. It seems counter-intuitive that the larger drive would be faster...

    Anyone Here Have Dual Raptors?

    I have 2 Raptors that are NOT in a RAID0 config. I installed my OS on one, and I install my applications on another. I have to tell you, I am loving the performance I am getting from this thing. I think separating the OS files from the Application files was a good move because the OS can call...

    Buzzing sound when there is network activity

    Seems there could be a couple of causes for this: 1.A low power PSU. http://forum.msi.com.tw/thread.php?threadid=55850&hilight=sound+AND+network 2.A loose wire on a choke. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=3ac5fcb6606fe0ad4e0fc19ffbc67b50&threadid=40209...

    SOLVED - (How) Can I transfer OS from PATA to SATA?

    It can be done. You can use Ghost to move your OS from one hard drive to another. Remember, when going from PATA to SATA you will need to install SATA drivers BEFORE you switch over because WinXP does not have native SATA support. Also, you have to read the instructions carefully so you don't...
