I'd recommend a raid zero by getting the same drive you already have but i'm not a Maxtor fan. Between WD and seagate, i'd go seagate.

The Seagate drives are actually more expensive in Australia than WD but it's worth it, it's just slightly better. I have both a Seagate and WD 80GB drive and there have been no problems.

I don't know of either too well but I have an Antec NeoPower 480 in my system and I can confidently say that Antec make quality power supplies and Modular configuration makes a difference. The Neopower is modular if your wondering.

Well it seems to me that your X-blade might be a little different to the one that I have, I'll tell you how to remove the front plastic on my particular x-blade anyway. To the left of the Drive bays and also to the right after taking of the right side panel, there are plastic pins. You have to...

well consoles are always better value when it comes to gaming and are more reliable but computers still win the gold in the end for me as they can do so much more than just play games, they have a function for every personailty and unequaled practicality.

dual 12v rails goes toward a combined output for overall 12v so if the two rails combine to be what you need then you should be fine, I don't know if that is what you were asking but good luck anyway.

It would be decent if they went in depth with the original HL, expand the story that was never truly told in the game into a scirpt that actually went into more detail, there would be a lot to work with and it would be cool to see Gordon in the Alien Zen world, perhaps as astounding as it was to...

hehe, yeah agreed, the ending is quite a let down, I hated the way you had to destroy the reactor in the end, not that it was hard but there shouldn't have been the reactor at all, that was just random and made the conclusion seem rushed. It was an awesome game though, especially the graphics...

to me this doesn't really sound like an overheating issue, more like the system is struggling to keep up with the demands of the game and freezes because of that. Overheated cards cause streaks in the visuals of games or in other cases restart the system. I seriously doubt this is an issue of an...

Need for speed underground, the first one should fit the criteria, an enjoyable racer and you can sense the speed, especially in drag mode, it's slightly dated as well meaning it should run fast although the visuals are quite up to date for games of that genre.

heres one for you: mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136152 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103546 VGA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130256 Memory...

it looks like a nice balanced system, low end for a gamer but you don't play games so if it suits your need it's a good purchase. havn't heard of biostar as a mobo manufacturer, they might be good but then again.... and also your OS is a hyperlink to the fortron PSU.

checking out systems this way is painful because I have dial but if you need some advice ill help. So i'll get to the parts, most of the parts seem decent but I do have a few hassles being: - You don't really need a sound card as the difference isn't really that much better than using on board...

I realise there is no risk but the inconvenience of having to seal the case water tight and then spend the money to buy that much oil just makes that mod not worth it.

excellent, I was hoping for an answer like this, i've thrown away my desire to buy a purple cathode, i'm gonna sleeve some cables and UV them with a black light.
