    Research for a pc games company - what hardware do you use?

    FWIW...I would not consider the average person here an average gamer...this is a hardware enthusiast site and thus people tend to have better computers than the average American. I would suggest looking at what Dell sells. They sell more computers than anyone else.

    Where to get Isopropyl alcohol (hardware related)

    Here is the MSDS (Material Saftely Data Sheet) on denatured alcohol. http://www.syndel.com/msds/denatured_ethanol_msds.html No isopropyl alcohol in it. Basically ethanol and methanol with methanol being toxic to you. It is obsorbed through the skin and causes liver damage.

    Where to get Isopropyl alcohol (hardware related)

    isopropyl alcohol is very hygroscopic. that means is sucks water from the air very fast. 99% wont be 99% for long. 70% is perfect for what you need.

    What ICH4 i850 boards are capable of 533FSB?

    The P4T-E is not even a 850E mobo... The P4T533 is an 850E mobo. However, non of its flavors at this time have IC4, they all have IC2. I think aside from that Gigabyte mentioned above, there are not at 850E/IC4 yet. Hell, I think the mobo vendors could care less about they 850E. Abit is not...

    Two case fans. Two exhaust, or one in, one out?

    I would run 3. I would have 2 blowing out in the back and 1 in the front blowing in but position it so it cools your hard disk. This will help keep your HD running long term. Only putting 1 fan on the back of the 1040 case is IMO bad since there is an openning there. It is is not covered...

    Klipsch 4.1 promedia or Logitech Z560?

    The Z560s are definately better at breaking. Look around at the number of people whose have blown in less than 1 month. Even scarier, look at the number of people on their third or more set.

    What speeds for the new 133 fsb P4s?

    The problem with the i850E versions of the new chipsets (compared with the DDR i845E) is going to be a HUGE price difference. The RDRAM for the i850e is 32bit and I expect is will be $$$$$$$$$. However, the i845E will be perfectly paired with 133 mhz DDR available now.

    What speeds for the new 133 fsb P4s?

    Anyone know what speeds the new 133 fsb P4s are going to come in? Hopefully more than just the highend speeds. Any idea on prices for those? I was about to upgrade but now I am thinking I'll wait for the 133 fsb P4 and the Asus P4B533-E based ib the I845E...

    Logitech Z-560 sub too close to electronics ?

    I suggest raising the sub off the floor. This will also decrease distortion from the floor vibrating (no thats not a good thing musically). Buy a pack of kitchen sponges and place them underneath.

    This UPS big enough?

    I was just at Circuit City and they had an APC Battery Backup 500va (300 watts) for $69 with $60 rebate. I picked one up, but I am unsure if this is enough juice. I am planning a new P4 system with a 350 watt psu and 19 inch monitor. Is this APC enough power? Box says 19 inch tower system...

    What has RAID 0,1 done for you?

    Instead of a RAID, why not just get one of those Western Digital drives with the 8 mb cache? ~$220 for a 120 mb drive. That price is comparable to what you would spend on a RAID and you would get alot more space (as if you needed it)

    DDR be damned...

    I was just about to finalize my system when I noticed DDR went up yet again! DDR PC2100 512 MB from crucial.com = $190.79 DDR PC2100 256 MB from crucial.com = $96.29 (or $192.58 for 2) RDRAM PC800 256 MB 16 device Samsung from googlegear.com = $78 (So, $156 for 512 MB since you add in...

    RAID vs WD 8 mb cache drives.

    Setting up a pair of 60 GB Maxtors in a RAID (including the cost of a RAID card or a few extra for a RAID mobo) is about the same price as one of those Western Digital 8 mb cache drives. The WD drives has the reliablitity advantage of not running a RAID (please I do not mean this to be a RAID...

    Why people go Intel...

    Audiophiles: best powered speakers for computer under $300

    The Logitech Z560s are junk. Total junk. They are cheap because they are made cheap. Search around for all the people that are on their 2nd and 3rd sets from blown amps. Me? I am on my second set and they are going back because I don't want to own these speakers outside the 30 day return...

    P4 i850 board that supports the new Northwood CPU's

    Wow this is top notch info. I found 4 device Samsung 128 MB RDRAMs for $37 each. Thats $148 for 512 MB of RDRAM. This leads to 2 follow up questions. I have read it is better to have 4 RIMMS filled rather than 2 and 2 with dummies. True? Second, the 128 MB RDRAM above is probably older...

    logitech z540s vs z560s

    I never owned the 540s but I did own the 340s and do own the 560s now. The 340s are junk. The base is too powerful for the system and overwelms everything. I believe the 540s use the same sub as the 340s. The 340s were no better than the junk altec lansings that came with my dell (old...

    crappy Z560s?

    lol... They are isolated on a circuit by themselves right now. Any circuit I use in the house is the same. Funny that the "inferior" Klipsch didnt hum nor the elcheapo Altec Lansings I am trying to replace. Also funny that both sets hummed at different levels. I guess my house is defective...

    crappy Z560s?

    UPDATE. I exchanged them at Best Buy for a new set. This set HUMS the moment you turn it on, then the hum fades to the point where you can only hear the hum if you are a couple feet from it. Is this normal? Hum like this will work its way into the amplifier and thus into the satellites. I...

    crappy Z560s?

    I tried them in several outlets and it hummed in all of them. I'll exchange them today after work. I was very leary of these speakers because I have read about tons of people having problems with them. But. I will give them 1 more try. I'll let you know how the second set turns out.

    The future of the processor - where is it headed?

    Anyone here own the Logitech Z-340 speakers?

    I had the Z-340s for about 3 weeks. I was initially very impressed with them considering their price. My initial complaint was that the speaker wires are all pretty damn short. After listen to music on them for a week I began to notice all the songs were off. That is, the bass reponse was...
