I already have some polk monitor 30s, I'm just waiting for the receiver to get here.

I tried it with only one speaker connected and got an odd buzzing noise. It wasn't too loud so I don't think any damage was caused, and it wouldn't play any music within the few seconds it was on. I think the internal amp must have gone bad from years of cold weather. The question now is...

I found two 2 speakers that I used on my old computer 10 years back in the garage. They seem to be in excellent condition and I'd like to be able to use them again. The problem is I don't have any transformers rated for their power needs (12v dc@1 amp). My current speakers use 12v dc@0.5 amps...

Ultra hi res gaming, future proofing, owning a quality monitor, replacing my 720P TV. I could go on, but if you think a WUXGA monitor will suffice, then ok.

Do you think I should go with a 1920x1200 monitor, or spend twice as much on a 1440P? These are what I had in mind: 1920x1200 1440p

Great, thanks for your help.

I'm a first time builder, so I'll just point you in the right direction. Do you also need a hard drive or optical drive (dvd player)? Motherboards Power supply units

Thanks very much for the input. I was planning on buying an aftermarket cpu cooler, but I saw this gpu cooler for the 5970 and was wondering if you think that's worth a purchase too.

I'd just like to know if this is a good build and if there's anything else I need. Thanks. Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard Newegg.com - ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard CPU: Intel Core...

No don't bother. I'm not planning on buying anything until at least 6+months. Thanks anyways though.

About $800. I posted in another forum and someone gave a great setup, but the parts are no longer sold. I mainly just want to play games like: Fallout 3 and new vegas Oblivion Hitman blood money Gears of war AvP (new one) GTA IV L4D I've also been itching to play crysis at max settings, but...

I'd like to upgrade to a rig that can play most current games at max settings, but my budget is pretty tight (less than $800). I don't feel confident in building my own at the moment, so I was searching for premade ones. I came across this: iBUYPOWER Computer Most of those PCs are in the...

Wow thanks for the effort^^. It's just too bad most of those offers have expired. Can I see the individual parts or similar ones?

I heard the "HD PVR" from Hauppauge is the absolute best to record video from pretty much anything. The problem is that it's $200. Is there anything else that can record video in excellent quality without taking alot of pc power, or being so expensive?
