    System Build Opinions Wanted AKA oh no, not this again

    Thinking of building a new system to replace my nearly 5 year old build. My limit is $2,000 but I'm not obviously expecting it to be near that high for an efficient build. I do not need a keyboard, mouse, monitor, dvd burner, or operating system though if any of them come in a bundle that saves...

    What are some good headsets lately?

    After three years my Sennheiser PC 155 headset has died in the right earphone. Anyone have any recommendations on current headsets? I'm not sure I particularly care about surround sound so suggestions with or without it are fine with me. Just need to have great sound, a mic (unless you know of a...

The question is, should I just get one at that size, or should I do raid? Also, I plan on buying a...

    Computer heat issues

    For awhile now I've had small artifacts appearing in games suggesting a minor heating problem (been having CPU heat issues forever but I was living with that until this) but today it's gotten to the point where I can see it visually in windows. I need any suggestions on how to alleviate this...

    Looking for power adapter

    Considering I know squat about power adapters, I thought I'd ask here about my problem. A few years ago I had a 5.1 surround sound setup for my computer with an external amplifier, i think that's what it is at least, (creative inspire 5.1 digital 5700), with the amp requiring power via power...
