Hey all. You guys helped me out when I built my computer a couple years back, so I thought I'd come to you for advice again. I think I have a fan problem. Sometimes when I start up or wake from...
My new computer works! Whooohoooo! I'll have to make a post about it later. But there is one that's bothering me. When I switch to sleep mode, the power light blinks very annoyingly. Is this a...
How would this card work in a non-2.0 slot? My sister is looking to upgrade and she's a gamer (mainly FFXI and Oblivion).

Anybody know of any general Newegg coupon codes? Or perhaps somewhere to buy gift certificates for less than their redeem value?
PCI Express 2.0 graphics cards will work in regular slots, right? But what all are you losing? Is it better to stick with non-2.0 cards?
I could still use suggestions for a power supply. Does 500w sound right?
I suppose I could use something like this for my esata:

But does anybody know where I can find one that has just esata and nothing...
Oh, and I'm also figuring that my graphics card is going block a pci express slot (which is why I was looking at not using pci for the esata, but it will block access to the outside of the case as...
I only need two, but I'm debating sticking another one in the 3.5 external drive bay since I've nothing planned to go in either of those.
The hard drives I'm looking at are about the same price, but one has better specs while the other has better reviews. Is it better to play it safe and go with the golden reviews, or go for prettier...
I just want to add that everybody should ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR FILES before partitioning. I used Partition Magic once and it took all night, wiped all my files, and didn't actually change my...
Can you guys please go over this and make sure everything is compatible? Thanks so much!

I currently considering this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127328
But my main question is what I need as far as a separate sound card.
Yes, I have read Adobe's supported card list, but they'll all rather expensive. I want a sound card that gets the job done, not necessarily one that gives the most awesome home theater experience...
That's a helpful link, thanks. And I think I'll go with the Q6700.
Newegg lists the Q9450 as a "Deactivated Item" - do you think they're just out of stock, or they quit carrying it? And is it really worth the higher price tag? The Q9550 looks so pretty... But that...
I was originally thinking I'd go with the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, but now I'm confused and not sure. I mainly plan to use Adobe Premiere and Photoshop CS3. Suggestions please?
That's the one I mentioned earlier, right? It does have some negative reviews, but an awful lot of positive ones as well. Has anybody on the forum actually used it? It looks like I might encounter...
Just realized I forgot to include a huge THANK YOU to you for the re-post. And I'm fairly certain I've moved on from my original question of micro vs standard to which micro is best. I only want...
Yeah, but I don't see why ram and firewire would be included in those sacrifices. I can get an 8gb supported board, and even if it doesn't have firewire, can't I use the pci express to add firewire...
This one doesn't list RAID in the specs. Does it seriously not support it? *scratches head*
Yep, once I save up a bit more money. And does that board not have firewire? Also, it only supports up to 4gb memory. I only want 4gb for now, but should I leave myself the option to upgrade and...
Some people on here have had problems with certain boards, and I'm hoping to learn from those experiences. In hindsight, what does everybody think is the best one to go with? Which ones should I...
The case I want has no intake fan and nowhere to put one. However, I don't plan on using one of the two 5.25 external drive bays or either of the two 3.5 external bays. I know there are fans you...
What kind of problems? And what do you think is the best micro atx board?
