    Should I exchange my Define R4?

    Alright, I'll contact Newegg and arrange for the exchange. Thanks.

    Should I exchange my Define R4?

    Now that you mention it, there was a dent in the top of the packaging, but I didn't think much of it at the time. If this actually is shipping damage, Newegg would probably cover the return shipping. But on the off chance that someone can help me fix this without the hassle, I'll stay tuned...

    Should I exchange my Define R4?

    I bought a Fractal R4 earlier this week from Newegg. When I took it out of the box, I was surprised to see that there was some sort of deformity in the top panel that kept it from sitting flush. The rear fan mount bows out; if you press it, it will bow right back up. If you press inward toward...

    Need last-minute advice with bang-for-buck build

    They've got three bundle deals available with the 2500K, but the only ones I'd consider are pretty much the same price as my 2600K bundle. TBH, I think the GD80 is a price mistake, but hey, I've got it reserved. You're right about the GPU, Ken. It's probably better to wait for a deal on a video...

    48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

    I think we're getting off-topic. I'd be happy to continue these sorts of conversations elsewhere, but we should stick to the OP. How's this for pain at the pump, though: the government makes more money per gallon of gasoline than the oil companies do. California takes in 66.1 cents per gallon...

    48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

    Well, if we're going to learn from states like Texas, it's important to take the bad with the good. If you want to present those as your criticisms, that's fine. I'll give you another example of something we can improve on: illegal immigrants in border states like Texas pull down wages for...

    Michele Backmamm wins the Iowa straw polls.

    I'm glad Michele won. I'm sure the Ron Paul fans are pleased with their showing today, but I think his remarks on Iran during Thursday's debate will come back to haunt him. He's great on economic policy, but I wouldn't want him looking the other way when Iran wants to wipe Israel off the face of...

    48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

    We should look at economic policy from the perspective of encouraging investment since that's what will pull us out of the ditch we're in. Businesses are hesitant to invest because they're drowning in a sea of regulation. Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley are enormous burdens. Will...

    48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

    "The rich" are job creators in this country. How many employees do the poor hire? How many American companies do they put to work by paying for luxuries like yachts and corporate jets? How much of their income do the poor contribute to paying the generous (to put it mildly) salaries of...

    What's with my idles?

    Popping the side off didn't seem to do anything. Maybe it's just got something to do with the temperature sensor itself? Oddly enough, you know, this rig is hardly what I would call quiet even though I tried to put in quiet fans and all the proper settings dialed in through the BIOS. One of my...

    What's with my idles?

    Ahh, I thought it was the other way around. My mistake, then. Speedfan has it sitting pretty at 37. That sound about right for pre-cure? I guess I'm just a little surprised it isn't lower considering what I did (plus the fact that I'm still using the Rocketfish cooler).

    Is my system dying?

    I've always had a vague understanding of what IRQ is, but I used Google to get a more exact definition and flipped through my motherboard's manual to figure out how to manually assign it. Once I reserved an IRQ for the sound card, everything worked just fine. I guess you can tell by now that...

    i5 750 vs i7 860 vs x3440 which one to get

    I agree. Seems like the ideal compromise between the 750 and 860.

    Already done. I make sure to keep current with my updates.

    Is my system dying?

    That seems to prevent the errors, although obviously that's certainly not an ideal setup. I also tried using just the sound card as well as just the tuner card and I also didn't get any errors in either case. I guess there's still something fundamentally incompatible about using them both at...

    Is my system dying?

    No. If anything, it actually seems to be MORE prone to errors than when it's overclocked. Here's what the BSOD I get says: *** STOP: 0x0000000D1 (OxFFFFF88105A00FFF, 0x0000000000000002, 0x00000000000001, 0xFFFFF88004AC42F2) *** PhilMAS64_48D71043.sys - Address FFFFF88004AC42F2 base at...

    CPU Prices are stagnanting

    +1 to this. I honestly can't think of many compelling reasons to upgrade right now from my e6400. It still plays my games well and that's enough for me. Bulldozer should hopefully be out by around this time next year, so Intel will have a run for its money, and I'm willing to bet that SSDs, USB...

    Hardware trouble since tuner card installation

    I've done my best to play with the settings to the best of my ability and I've come up empty-handed. It isn't that this board can't overclock, believe me; I bought it, along with the e6400, right when Core 2 first came out and it's been running overclocked ever since. The RAM, in particular, is...

    Hardware trouble since tuner card installation

    It all started when Santa left a tuner card - the Asus EHD3-100 - under the tree this year. I was excited about being able to record uncompressed OTA HD because I'm sick of paying exorbitant markups for subpar quality with cable. My system started acting up the moment I went to install it. My...

    Card placement question

    I've been looking for a good TV tuner for my desktop. I decided that the Asus EHD3-100 was a pretty good value since it includes an FM tuner and, from what people say, a very nice remote control. But then I popped open my case to make sure it would fit. Without going into too much detail...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    I have to credit this thread for landing me one of the best deals I've gotten in a long time. I was trying monitors from local retailers left and right trying to find one that suited me. Basically, I was looking for a gaming monitor with very vibrant colors. Many of them were "good", but I'm...

    Help me pick out an ergonomic KB & mouse

    I'll give them a call tomorrow, but I doubt they'd cover user error. I don't think I even kept the receipt. FWIW, I've seen a couple reviews for the older Microsoft Natural Elite & Natural Pro saying that they spilled stuff on theirs and it kept working. I don't see why the original would be...

    Help me pick out an ergonomic KB & mouse

    I've been using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 and a basic Microsoft wheel mouse for as long as I can remember. This dynamic duo powered through whatever I threw at it up until two days ago when I was drinking a glass of water and a few drops trickled down into the keyboard. I grabbed some...

    Can my system handle an upgrade?

    It looks like Asus has a 4830 for the same price as the Sapphire, but it comes with a higher memory clock. Any reason to choose Sapphire over Asus? The eVGA 9800gt looks like a nice card, but I'd rather stay within my budget.

    Would this card be a good upgrade?

    I see. Alright, then, how about this one? Unless I'm mistaken, it looks like your average 512mb 8800GT with that nifty new (to me, anyway) Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 preinstalled. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814134035

    Would this card be a good upgrade?

    I've currently got an XFX 7800GT which I'm looking to upgrade from after a lengthy hiatus from tinkering with hardware. My monitor supports 1280x1024 max. I've set my sights on an 8800GT since it seems to be a pretty good value from what I can tell. This one in particular seems to be very nicely...

    Which left-handed mouse to use?

    They're pretty unusual contraptions, you're right, but I'm willing to do what it takes. If nothing else, they do look comfy. I also found some good ergonomics articles on google, and I plan on taking some of their suggestions (and yours) into consideration from now on. Thanks. I'm not really...

    Which left-handed mouse to use?

    OK, so here's the deal. Lately, I've been experiencing some pain and discomfort in my wrists, presumably from typing and mousing too much with "standard" equipment. To help ease the pain and avoid having to sideline my programming summer classes, I've decided to buy a nice ergo keyboard and...

    Circuit City closing 69 stores, clearance sales Wednesday

    It's a shame that CC has to close so many stores, but I certainly can't say that they haven't brought it on themselves. The service I've received by the "employees" at these stores has been abysmal at best and laughable at worst. I'll give you an example. I was looking to get a new TV for my...

    what are you doing for Valentine's Day?

    Nothing says "I love you" more than a mass-manufactured card that somebody else wrote and a bix box of sugary, fattening confections. Me, I'll probably have to endure another round of people making out in public across the campus. Well, more than they usually do.
