    mini ITX motherboard

    You really didn't include much of anything in your post, which may be a reason there hasn't been a response. There are far too many mini-ITX boards to just go and recommend just any without knowing what you want to do with it and how powerful you need it to be. There's mini-ITX boards that...

    In the market for a DSLR

    The paged you linked seems to go to the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. Some amazing shots there though. Making me want all sorts of new lenses lmfao. Unless there is 50mm 1.8 shots tucked in there, just didn't have time to check 140 pages to search for them. How's the IS version of the...

    Painting a CD Drive?

    If you just want the front of the CD drive painted, that is pretty simple. I won't go into too many painting details as those have been covered numerous times on just about every pc modding site. First open up the disk drive, as in slide the tray out. If not powered use a paper clip or similar...

    In the market for a DSLR

    Nothing special for now, but there are a few really nice ones that I am eye-balling already. Those cost more than what I payed for the entire kit though. :P Currently have: Canon 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 tele/zoom -wish this was the IS version, but for 40$ brand new I can't...

    In the market for a DSLR

    The EOS arrived today. I am extremely happy with it. The low light/dark performance is far far far far better than the point and shoot I was using. I love it. Plenty of reviews could tell you more technical things than I could. But I will tell you that I really like this camera. Very...

    In the market for a DSLR

    I've got a Canon EOS XS in transit as we speak. I'm new to the DSLR side of things so I wanted to master the kit lens first, and get a better lens as I progressed. Newegg had the kit for $450 new, and the EF 75-300mm lens (while not super great, is enough for me to learn on for a while) was 45$...

    3.3 or 3.4 ?

    Wow, your room must be freezing ;). I agree with the statement that the extra couple hundred Mhz probably isn't going to be very noticeable. If your temps are jumping up too, it makes it less worth it, imo.

    COD4 hacker?

    The first thing I thought of was a server admin with a name that doesn't have admin or server tags on it that was having a bad day and when you all voted for the ban he just used his 1337 admin powers to reverse it. Then again I haven't played COD4 on PC, just going by my thoughts based on...

    TF2 Gold Rush Released!!

    Yup. I played sniper last night for a while on that map. There are plenty of places to get sweet angles and distance without too much worry. An opposing sniper can cause issues but most people tend to fight it out right around the bomb (as expected), so its easy pickings.

    My Computer is For Sale!

    IMO it does seem pretty high priced but you might get lucky on ebay. The biggest gripe I have with it, and when I see an auction that does it I instantly just hit the back button and disregard the seller: The listings have it as "NEW!", and then on the page it says New, only to start reading...

    will the 8800gts 320 fit in this motherboard

    The bottom sata port looks like it will be fine, but the card WILL extend all the way across the board and about 3/4" past the edge as it extends past the edge of my P35 board. It is a double slot cooler so you are going to lose one of the sata ports but it looks like the other port should be...

    22" Wide with Xbox 360

    I don't know if they make them for the PS3. As to how the xbox 360 looks on the 22" monitor, I run mine on my 22". My monitor has component inputs so I don't have to worry about any converters though. It does have black bars on the top and bottom, but they are only 1cm tops on either side. If...

    e8400 died on 1st post?

    :eek: If you tell us what mobo/hardware you have we might be able to help you. BIOS was the first thing I thought as well, as that is a 45nm chip. Hopefully you didn't fry the processor with your troubleshooting above, as that is usually not the best idea:rolleyes:.

    Xbox 360 or PS3?

    Just like to reiterate my point that both systems are great. :P

    Viruses are "overated" and don't even do anything

    Lol. Get rid of the antivirus/antispyware, and install windows fresh without any security updates and such and go roaming around for a couple months. You probably wouldn't be a happy camper by the end. Yes though, antivirus software and updated OS's really do help to battle infection. This...

    Good LED case fans?

    Yup, those are the ones. If you have a Microcenter around you as I said give them a call to see if they have any left as they had them for $1.99. The sale is good to the 13th I believe. I say call, because I wouldn't want to drive all the way there to find out they don't have any left, as the...

    Good LED case fans?

    Then Antec 120mm Tri-Cools aren't bad, plus if you have a Microcenter around you try giving them a call to see if they have any as they were $1.99 this past week.

    FS: Minature Desktop Computer (3.8" High)

    Via really hit their niche with the extremely small boards and low power draw. Nano-ITX and mITX and such are extremely small, and you can fit systems in extremely small rigs/spaces. They are a good company and make good products. They don't aim to be up there with AMD/Intel. I've been...

    FS: Minature Desktop Computer (3.8" High)

    Performance wise I don't see it being anywhere near a Core2. The via chips are low power chips as well, and most compete with the Celeron M chips IIRC. They aren't going to be a powerhouse, but it will do its job, and do so without a huge power draw.
