Keyboard malfunction on first boot?

Hello all, I finally got all of my parts, installed them, and booted up my computer. If you are interested in knowing what parts I am using, look in my previous posts; I am using basically the exact same parts. Everything seems fine; the fans work, I get a visual on the monitor, keyboard lights...

Can you link me to the thread? What are the advantages of the P5E to the P5Q?

Need help building a gaming PC

Thanks for the advice lincoln. The Pro seems like the way to go. I have no intention of using Crossfire anytime soon so I don't mind the performance loss. And for only $10 more I will take the extra PCI-E X16 slot, even if it has no immediate benefits. So, thats one problem solved...now how...

Haha, it looks like we will be making (almost) identical PCs together. :) Thanks for the suggestions on the headphones. Those are both great choices.

Need help building a gaming PC

$90? No thanks, I am already happy with the Gateway. And I don't know what those devices will do to my picture. My more serious problem is my sound! I have absolutely no idea how I will get all three devices (Wii, PC, 360) connected to both the speakers and my headphones (which I would prefer to...

Need help building a gaming PC

Lol. Yea, it is definitely sexy. But, I'd have to buy the Wii component to VGA converter, and then share the same VGA slot with my 360. I'd have to take out the VGA cords every time I needed to switch systems :(. I'll gladly take the monitor if I can find a VGA box that'd allow my consoles to...

Need help building a gaming PC

Thanks for the heads up on XRAM but that monitor doesn't seem to have the component inputs I need for my Wii. UT3 is one of those games that I am building this PC for so the help is greatly appreciated. :) Edit: That is, unless you meant for me to get a VGA box, or one of these. I am not sure...

Need help building a gaming PC

Hello all, I am building my very first PC for when I head to college this fall. I've helped others but I have never built one of my own so I can use all the help I can get. I need my PC, Xbox 360 (not elite), Wii, and possibly a future PS3 to connect to both my monitor and my sound...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Thank you! I like the Gateway better, my only problem with the Samsung was the bulky bottom. :) Edit: In this thread we are considering either a VGA box or a component to VGA converter for my Wii. Do you know how those affect picture quality? Should I just stick with the Gateway or would...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hello all. First, I'd like to thank xtknight for his great topic. I learned a lot. I am building a new PC and my only remaining part is the monitor. I want to be able to connect my Xbox 360 (via either VGA or component, preferably VGA; I don't have an elite for HDMI) and Wii (component) as...
