    2nd coming...

    It is good to see this forum isn't dead after being up for so many years. I'd say a good 10-15 years already? Although I'm not new (kind of), I have gotten a bit rusty from years and years of non computer related work so trying to get back into it since starting a new tech job. Thought I can...

    Gaming PC needed--Build or Buy

    I've been using my new customized HP Elite gaming PC and it's fast. I forgot how quiet a desktop PC can truly be since all my previous ones were mostly loud. They did a great job designing it. One thing I hate about it is that it uses a mATX motherboard and has all these stupid expansion hard...

    Best internal hard drive

    Just out of curiosity, how many of you have problems with Seagate hard drives? I've bought two Seagate 1TB drives in a row and both have the deadly click sound. Then I switched over to Western Digital, flawless!!! Is it me or are the Seagate brand the worse company ever? Past experience with...

    NBA 2K10 question

    Can you edit the players stats in the new NBA 2K10 PC game? Example, changing stats to make an existing player a lot better like bumping up the 3-point shooting to like a higher rating? I know in the NBA Live 08, you can do that.

    Gaming PC needed--Build or Buy

    I manage to drive down the cost to $1,269.99 total including shipping but not taxes. I've decided on the 9GB DDR3 Tri-channel RAM config, the i7 920 CPU, and the 1.8GB Geforce GTX 260. I thought about RAID0 config but decided not to deal with the hassle for a small % gain. The price also...

    Gaming PC needed--Build or Buy

    ,I've definitely debated building with personal parts. I've built PCs before, but lost touch for years since I've spent way too much money on computers. The tri-channel RAM is something new to me. I understand the new i7 CPU by Intel contains instructions for GPU integration which is a nice...

    Newegg no longer reliable?

    I tried calling Newegg over the phone again this afternoon around 1pm. I still got the run around where it was one automated response after another. Seems like everyone took the day off or something? My account still has the Kaspersky IS as "Charged", lol. Again, I emailed them.....no...

    Newegg no longer reliable?

    Once again, I'm amazed at how this website manage to change so quickly since my last visit. Anyways, back to my main point. Newegg has always been great when it comes to quick turn-around time from purchase to delivery of product. Their low price can't be beat either. A week and a half ago...

    Potentially the longest thread in history...

    Whoa, this forum looks totally revamped. I didn't want to make a thread on this topic alone so I thought I would contribute more to the "longest thread" thread, lol. I almost didn't recognize coming on here and wasn't 100% sure if I was ever even a member on here. It will definitely take some...

    Office 2009

    It appears that there will yet again, be a new version of Microsoft Office 2009---right on schedule. I keep wondering just how much of an improvement 2009 will have over 2007? Can't be that much, probably better file support. I always buy new Microsoft products as they come out but I'm at the...

    Which one to pick?

    Apparently, there are different versions from Newegg for the same product. The product in mind is "Norton Internet Security 2009". Why does Newegg have different pricing of the same software? I just don't get it. Maybe for more multi-license pack? Look at this: Newegg.com - Windows...

    updating my psu, video card and monitor.
