Hey guys, my friend wants me to build him a $850 gaming pc. He plays WoW and I guess some steam games, but nothing intense. I think this pc will be largely wasted on him, but he's offering me $150 to build it for him so I'm not complaining. what do you guys think of the guild so far? Will this...

So come this August/September/Whatever I will be attending either University of Michigan/Purdue University/Carnegie Mellon University/MIT to study Computer Engineering (and probably a double major in Applied Mathematics but that's irrelevant) and I need a laptop. Right now I have a junker so I...

Ah Pachebel's Canon! No honestly this was not a joke or a quiz, I had forgotten the name. Thank you very much for jogging my memory, mods can close this thread now if they feel is appropriate.

It was the days of my family's first computer, one of these puppies. http://buy-sellelectronics.com/main/shop/used/images/08August/COMPAQ.jpg It either came with the game or we bought it, and it was so much fun. From what I remember you were Hercules and...man I remember just a little bit...you...

So today I bought a Presario C700 laptop off of a friend of a friend for 30 dollars, other than being used for a couple of years (or however long he owned it) the screen is cracked and basically useless. Well for around 80 bucks on eBay I can fix that. Simple enough. But I'm installing XP on it...

Originally when I upgraded from XP to 7 x86, I decided not to install VLC media player right away. I was impressed with 7 and wanted to try the stock stuff until I couldn't stand it. Well IE I threw out for Firefox (which I've since thrown out for Chrome) but I had IE for like a week, much...

A year ago, what were laptop specs? DDR2 and Core 2 Duo? I might just buy a netbook now and wait for the laptop...but I really want a laptop now...ugh decisions decisions.

I'm going off to college in about a year, and obviously need a laptop. I'm debating on when I should purchase one, I've always wanted one, hence the name, and just recently have gotten enough money to buy one. For college I want it to be light and have good battery life, so I'm thinking of an...

Well I tried a couple different BIOSes and a bunch of different ACC settings but no go. But when I go into ACC per core, I get 4 cores (core 0, 1, 2, and 3) so I'm pretty sure I have 2 other cores but I can't get to them. Maybe it's my CPU, some CPUs just dont' like to unlock from what I...

I do have the newest BIOS, I might try flashing to the older one and checking it out. Also, do I need to do any overvolting to gain stability with the extra 2 cores?

They're 60mm fans and I wouldn't swap them for quieter ones because you have the possibility of reducing airflow. I'd check out the cooling modifications section of this page for some ideas. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=471958
