[QUOTE=Makol;31631423]What do you guys think of this bundle?
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.679860[/url]
I'm going to be using it with these:
Case- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146060&Tpk=lexa%20s[/url]
PSU- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702010[/url]
GPU- [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130663[/url]
I'll probably be getting this later this month, not 100% sure yet. If there's a better deal out there or a reason I should wait let me know. Budget for this is $270[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Makol;31633645]I already own the case, gpu, and psu.[/QUOTE]
Asking again.
Also how well would it be able to run games at a resolution of 1600x900? I'm going to be using my old/smaller monitor for it.
[QUOTE=Nsybouts;31719526]If they are from a good brand that would be a great price.[/QUOTE]
He said they are "Kicker comps in a custom carbon fiber box. Everything is special ordered. Nothing is stock. 2ohm dual voice coils."
I've been experiencing very high latency between my pc and my VPS (hosted in Chicago, I'm only a few hours away from there). I did a tracert and it's hopping all over the place (even to sweden I think). It's not an issue on my host's end, as I seem to be the only one experiencing this high latency (no other players in my servers have it this bad).
Are there any DNS changes I can make or anything?

Edit: I already tried the obvious. Restarted router & modem, restarted computer, restarted VPS. No dice.
Edit 2: Turns out a Qwest-Telia peering point was just overloaded. Working fine now.

Just don't buy them for that price you could buy set of brand new 12' subs.

It's not worth it?
I'm just worried because I don't know anything about subwoofers and if he's going to install them for me and already have all the stuff I might as well take his offer. Plus its 6 more inches of sound, right?
I have been think of upgrading and [url=http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=12251009]this[/url] is what I was planning on going with.
I am planning on keeping my 480 and my current RAM, and are there any better Motherboards for the price?
I would be selling my current computer to cover the costs
Yeah, MSI P67-A GD-65. OR GD-53 is cheaper but about the same.
My laptop doesn't have a BIOS, so how can I make it boot from a USB drive?

get a K CPU, are you sure you'll use hyperthreading

I agree with the SSD and the spinpoint but I am going with the corsair PSU because I want a fully modular PSU.
And I already have a aftermarket Heatsink
the strider plus is fully modular

Well shit I didn't even read the specs I just glanced at the picture.
so the jerks at my school have the tendancy to chuck fruit and shit around in the locker bays.
long story short, i ended up with the insides of a mini-dome camera (the dome having sustained a direct hit from a grapefruit, but the actual camera is fine), it has no model numbers on the outside apart from a sticker showing that it passed a chinese electronic test in 2006.
the connector that it uses is a 3-pin (i'm guessing power, neutral and data), and upon opening it up i see a few sony chips with a big white sticker saying "s 601630"
i want to somehow configure this camera for use in something, the connector is a 3-pin jack that looks a lot like the white one pictures below:
i need advice on finding the right plug to solder on this thing in order for it to be used for anything if that is at all possible.
[editline]15th August 2011[/editline]
[B]OK[/B], i did a bit of research and i know what cables i need to wire to what.
p.much, the cable has 3 pins, but i need to connect this to a BNC connector +/- and a 12 V +/-,
do i connect both negatives to the power supply or the data negative?

I plugged my harddrive into my new computer and it won't detect it in My Computer, but I can see it in the BIOS, Device Manager and the Computer Manager. I don't want to format it as I have all my data on this secondary drive.
is there anyway to pin a folder to win7 taskbar not just explorer?

Reinstall would really be the easiest.
Me and my friend are trying to play a game using Hamachi, the problem is that his computer for some reason hates it.
Just wondering if anyone have a similar program?

The problem is, the disc that came with the computer is SP1, but it has been upgraded to SP2. Now I haven't run the disc yet because my grandma told me that she tried running it and it didn't work (she gave the computer to me) would the service packs make a difference?

Does overclocking break warranty, and if so, when is the best period to start overclocking after having bought the processor/videocard?
