Recommended DVD ripper

I still haven't picked up a dvd-burner, but my bud just snagged up nd-3520a, and I wanted to recommend a good software for backing up his current line of dvd's. Any takers? I'm more looking for quality extractions than anything else, and ofcoarse, something that possibly gets around...

19" LCD for $299 at NewEgg

Just earlier this morning there was a 19" 8ms DVI LCD on the newegg main page for $299. I forget the name brand, and I would have posted it but I figured there would already have been 20 posts on it already.

haha, i was waiting for that quote to surface. I can easily afford that price, if you saw my winter car alone... you would understand; don't assume I'm some broke dipshit flipping burgers at the local mc donalds, thanks. I haven't forgot any of those tid bits you mentioned, but I'll respond...

heh, don't remind me :P Do you remember this apple ad? Dated 1977. I was a young pup at that time, but I do vaguely remember it, or perhaps something very similar.

Upgrade memory or Video Card?

Good point. I forget alot old p4 used rambus. If that is the case here, definately just spend the $ on a vid card. You can find a Ti4600 (was the top end before Radeon 9700) for under $100, new or used.

ASUS 6800GT VS MSI 6800GT

you'd be just as good off just buying an eVGA for $60 less, and spending $30 on a nice NVSilencer, ending up with a better overclocking GT than either above. ;) Otherwise if set and determined on those two, like kevin said, either way you'll be satisfied.

Preachers thread: Prices are outrageous...

That is a somewhat good point, but the timespan we're looking at here is 5 years vs 50 as you pointed out. While certain things on mobo's DO go up in price, such as newer chipsets, most components are becoming a dime a dozen, and hardly warrant all around a doubled price. They are jumping on...

Before I get to the nitty gritty, I'd like to introduce myself. I've been building comps for over 12 years, into online gaming ect... for over 8 years, and just all around knowledgeable in the comp industry. Newbs need not respond. You clowns need to stop spending so much on vid cards. The...

UPDATE: Samsung 710-n-2 black analog LCD $209

Just updating price on a heads up from cK. I wonder how much lower their pricing is going to go with this? I'll wager final price will be $199, and greatly advertised as "Gamers LCD for UNDER $200!!!"... It already seems like they're practically giving it away... which also makes me...

MSI Computer question...

Update: I called MSI support, after speaking with a rep he told me they aim to have it taken care of in 14 business days. I then asked if it was possible to have the processing expedited, which he said is no problem, in which they change the aim to 3 business days. I'm certainly glad I...

UPDATE: Samsung 710-n-2 black analog LCD $209

It is indeed tempting. If I had the dough for the 19", I would fork it out, knowing that it's likely to be the largest display I'll own for years to come. The only question is if the current 19" LCD performance is worth investing in. Theres another thread on here for the 70D+...

Is vsynch mostly for mediocre monitors?

while i noticed it seems to be less on LCD, it DOES still occur. I noticed it on Doom3, one of the most notoriously known games for tearing. My question is: Does using DVI vs analog make any difference in tearing? DVI is obviously the route of choice if possible, but I'm just curious. Any...

a8v rear audio

personally i'd rather have a choice of using 5.1, rather than being absolutely stuck on front channel only; thats just gay. I've owned 3 mobo's with onboard audio in the past 2 years, 2 with ac97 and one with the nforce2 audio chip (cant remember the name at the moment) and all of them were...

a8v rear audio

Winamp isn't the problem here. A winamp plug-in isn't going to get Windows to play in 5.1 like it should. There in lies the question.

Cooling computer in an enclosed place

get a water cooler if you are into overclocking etc... The cpu would stay cooler that way than if you left your hsk in place and threw the case in a snow bank outside... otherwise, you may want to invest a little into higher quality air solutions, but what it all comes down to is this; how is...

a8v rear audio

I'm posting on behalf of a dude I know. He's having problems getting the rear/center/sub working with the onboard realtek ac97. They work fine in games that support 5.1, but windows remains front audio only. He already enabled 5.1 in advanced speaker settings, and using soundman changed...
