    Game Console to Monitor via Tuner Card, PLEASE help

    I'm not sure I understand your question. What kind of computer monitor do you have? Are you actually considering getting a $100 card just to save money and use the same monitor for your PC as you do for your console? I know you like the idea of capturing the occasional console screen, and...

    Geez, Now A 20X DVD Drive

    I seriously doubt that, and if you have any information to back up your statement I'd love to see it. Lite-On is not claiming there is any "sophisticated trick" to speed things up, and the only thing I can imagine that would actually help would be a Kenwood True-X-esque multi-beam laser...

    Geez, Now A 20X DVD Drive

    Exactly. DVD media is not like CD media. DVD-Rs need to use a totally different write strategy for 4X+ burns than they do for 1X and 2X burns. The concept of a "deeper burn" at 1X doesn't even make sense. For example, older burners were incompatible with 4X+ media, and using that media could...

    Looking to buy a Projector for my Room.. which one?

    I would consider that a "decent screen," actually. I'm just saying it's worth putting more effort into it than pointing it at a random beige wall. A friend of mine has his projector aimed at a $100 overhead projector screen, and I have to say it's hard for me to tell the difference between...

    Viewsonic rebates?

    Well, the two most practical ways to go that I know of if you're worried about dead pixels: 1) Just research the actual screens. Certain brands and certain models have dead pixels half the time when they show up. Certain ones have about 100+ reviews on NewEgg with maybe one guy complaining...

    Looking to buy a Projector for my Room.. which one?

    Come on, now. That's a prefectly legitimate criticism. Projectors just suck in well lit rooms. My dad, my brother, and my best friend each have projectors. Two of them are newer InFocus models. They're definitely nice, but most people I know are more impressed by my 32" Samsung panel...

    Looking to buy a Projector for my Room.. which one?

    You'd really be better off looking for specific info on http://www.avsforum.com/ You mentioned you're getting a projector to save money. Don't forget how much bulbs cost. Bulbs are so expensive that your sub-$1000 projectors are often disposable since the cost of the bulb is about half as...

    Dell hard drive options

    OK, I guess it's not worth worrying about if it's so random what you get. I see where you're coming from. This guy doesn't need much of a computer, but the bottom line is that he's a millionaire and a good friend. He's also really cheap and a hypochondriac. An interesting guy to be...

    Dell hard drive options

    A friend of mine wanted to get a Dell and was asking my opinion of what to get. He doesn't really do anything that needs much power (he's using AOL over his DSL connection -- that kind of guy), but he tends to keep computers for a very long time (he's upgrading from a P3-550). I was...

    27 inch dell ultrasharp widescreen

    erwos: That doesn't even make sense. HDTV is by definition 16:9. All HDTV streams are 16:9. If something is 4:3 and is being broadcast in HD, it is actually being broadcast as a 16:9 stream with pillarboxing. This is why all HDTVs are 16:9. I mean, right this second I'm watching...

    I got $1000, MAKE ME A COMPUTER

    I don't know how much the release of Conroe is going to affect the lower end of the spectrum ... and he's talking about $1000 for everything including case/monitor/keyboard/mouse. I'd build something like this: CPU: Intel Pentium D 805 Retail $111.9 (ZipZoomFly) mainboard: ASRock...

    wow.. BR and HD-DVD players cost a packet

    There were never $3000 consumer DVD players. Even when they were first released, you could get them under $400. Are you talking about DVD-Rs? The professional ones were around $3000, but that's the case with everything. By the time Pioneer 1X consumer DVD-Rs were released, they were around...

    wow.. BR and HD-DVD players cost a packet

    Yeah, seriously ... Am I the only one that remembers paying $15-$20 for a blank write-once CD-R in 1997? Once they got down under $10 my 2X SCSI burner was cranking out PSX games like Hong Kong.

    27 inch dell ultrasharp widescreen

    16:9 and 16:10 might be pretty close, but they're certainly not the same. If you're going to use something as an HDTV, you want 16:9 because that's the aspect of HD broadcasts. It seems pretty irrelevant you bringing up TV which was shot in 4:3. That's not exactly the type of source people...

    27 inch dell ultrasharp widescreen

    I doubt it'll be 16:9. This looks like a regular desktop LCD to me. 27" is not exactly "home theater" size. A 27" 16:9 screen has less surface area than a 27" 4:3 TV (I'll shoot myself if I ever catch myself calling it "real estate"), and 27" is totally average for regular TVs. As far as...

    Processor+Mobo+PCIE

    Nobody's suggesting a top end machine. You didn't mention what CPU you actually have, but I'd be willing to bet a $60 Sempron 64 and a $55 Socket 754 PCI-E motherboard would be a significant upgrade to what you currently have, and it would be about the same price as the motherboard you're...

    Advice on a power supply

    I'd recommend the XClio. That's a great PSU, and there's just no way you need anything better if you're not going to upgrade your system and keep the same PSU later on down the road (even if you did, the XClio could probably handle it if you're not talking about SLI)...

    Processor+Mobo+PCIE

    Most 478 boards are discontinued. It's a pretty questionable idea to be spending money on that kind of upgrade ... especially given that all the PCI-E 478 boards NewEgg has are over $100. You might want to check into eBay or the FS/FT forum.

    LCD refresh rate issue

    That's interesting... If you can see the machine POST, the LCD obviously supports more than just 1280x1024, right? So are you saying you installed XP, and everything was working just fine, and XP installed using the default resolution of 800x600? Then when you went into display properties...

    How many IDE Hard Drives can you have in a computer?

    Each cable connects to one IDE channel. You can only have 2 IDE drives per channel (one is called master, one is called slave). Most motherboards come with 2 IDE channels (primary and secondary). Generally speaking, you can have 3 hard drives and 1 CD-ROM connected in a standard PC. There...

    Do you really just need the mobo, processor, video card, ram? Are you really just upgrading an old computer? If so, are you actually going to reuse the HDD and DVD-RW? If you're going to start threads like this, you should be very specific about whether you need a...

    ASUS vs ASROCK

    ASUS doesn't own ASRock anymore? When did that happen? It was my impression that ASUS was all made in Taiwan, and ASRock was a Chinese factory they built to make cheaper stuff. I've always had good luck with ASRock.

    Can't get into BIOS. Is there a boot disk that lets me boot from CD?

    There's no use in bumping this thread. You're being an ass, which is pretty ridiculous seeing as you're the one asking for help. You're refusing to give people any information to even begin to help you. You think saying "the XP install seemed to get stuck at one spot" is useful? Do people...

    Shouldn't Newegg Canada be online by now?

    I shop at ZZF much more now since they often have better prices than NewEgg, but when I do shop at NewEgg I always pay extra for FedEx. The last thing I got from UPS, they randomly decided my apartment didn't exist. The tracking just showed "invalid address" and I had to go pick it up at the...

    Can't get into BIOS. Is there a boot disk that lets me boot from CD?

    There are plenty of boot floppy images that'll load generic CD-ROM drivers for you. If you're going to install XP after booting to one of them, though, make sure you run SmartDrive or install will take forever. I mean, honestly, the first thing that game up when I googled "boot floppy image"...

    Flash MP3 Player with scrolling menu?

    It sounds like she really wants the Nano, so she might as well get the $149 Nano. Your priorities are a little too rational. She'll be happier about being cool than she will be about having more than 1GB on there ... and regardless, there aren't many people who are going to actually be using...

    You have $10,000 for a computer.. Buy now, or wait 6 months for Conroe and AMD's 4x4 / new gen video cards?

    It's my experience that after you spend about $2,000 on drugs and hookers in an evening, it's time to hit the IHOP then sleep it off. And it's probably not a good idea to do that more than once a month. Around here, that'll get you 3 attractive hookers, half an 8-ball, a decent bag of weed...

    PSU recommendations?

    1000W PSUs are mostly made because the market exists. That is, there are clueless kids out there with a lot of cash to spend, and they think a 1000W PSU is a good idea for some reason.

    Is it possible to burn from a CD/DVD drive back to itself...?

    Every burning software I've ever seen lets you do that. That's the default option for "copy" or "exact copy" or whatever. What seems to be the problem? Note that the software isn't going to store the disc in RAM -- it copies the disc to a temp image file then burns the image when you put in...

    Got a free computer

    Win95, Win98, NT3.51, Win2K will all run fine on 64MB. If you can get it up to 64MB, I'd start off trying Win2K. If you're stuck with 16MB, I'd be using Win95a. The problem is ... what is your time worth? Unless you're really bored, spending time on this computer is a little silly.

    PSU recommendations?

    SeaSonic is the most popular brand among people who professionally build a lot of high-end systems. PCP&C is a popular brand among kids who build SLI systems with windows in the sides and RAID0 for no reason. On the whole, though, I think many many times more people are using Seasonic. It's...

    You have $10,000 for a computer.. Buy now, or wait 6 months for Conroe and AMD's 4x4 / new gen video cards?

    There are plenty good ways to spend $10K on a gaming system. The problem is that most people who start threads like this don't have a legitimate question or are just excited about building furnaces with more GPUs, more CPUs, and maybe more hard drives. You certainly can't say anything over...

    DSL question

    SBC/Yahoo has this annoying thing where they don't actually give you a login when you get DSL. They want you to install their software to get your DSL working. Then it'll work just like anything else, though. Depending on how Verizon works, it may be simpler to just use a Windows machine to...

    20X DVD Burners!!

    I'm certainly not going to trust you. The data at places like CDRLabs just doesn't agree with you. The quality of the media and the quality of the burner is extremely important. The speed you write at is several orders of magnitude less important. Look at burn quality with a TY or Verbatim...

    20X DVD Burners!!

    Don't you find it a little suspicious that DVD-ROM drives never made it to 20X, but now they're claiming you'll be able to burn at 20X? CD/DVD media really shouldn't be spinning at more than 10,000 RPM, and DVDs are better off not spinning as fast as CDs. A 52X max (20.8X min) CD-ROM has to...

    I need to run 10 - 20" LCD's

    If you want to do it right (and you should, since it's for your work), you should really get two FireMV cards which are actually made for quad DVI. You could also get a Parhelia card, but those cost even more. The FireMV 2400 is a great card which doesn't take up much space and supports quad...

    Recommend a sub-$200 cpu and motherboard upgrade

    A Venice is such a total waste. Either spend more for dual core or save money and get a Sempron 64 which is just as fast.
