Which 7900GT overclocks nicely

I'm thinking of buying a 7900GT with the intention of doin the voltmod, cooling it with a VF1, and overclocking it as far as I can. My question is - are all 7900GT's created equal in this respect, or should I be careful picking out which one to buy? Does factory overclocking have any...

DVD playback improvements?

So I decided to get a new TV and of course build a HTPC for it. My first thought was, "well, now I need to get a fancy VIVO card..." but then I saw my old Radeon 9500 Pro laying around and saw that it had the never-used DVI connector. Today's HDTVs have DVI inputs. A lightbulb lit up over my...

HOT!!! Buy.com: Yamaha YST MS50 - 80 Watt Speaker(s) - $23.99 AR + Free Shipping

I got these speakers about 2 years ago, and I am still in love with them. Aside from listening to mp3s, I have used these to power several large apartment-parties, and they deliver clean, booming, and unblemished sound even at amazingly high volume, even with 20 people dancing and yelling. If...

YMMV - ATI Atlantis Radeon 9500 128MB Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI by SapphireTech -- 162.99 @ GoogleGear

I read this thread and ordered from allstarshop. Card arrived today - red PCB, L memory. I put it in, softmodded it, and it was recognized as a 9700 with no problem. However, there are artifacts, and the system has frozen a few times. I browsed the forums that are frequented by Unwinder (the...

2 for 1 July Special! Cheap, reliable web hosting from $3.95 at Dixiesys

Let's not all cream our panties about dixiesys just yet. Yes, it's very cheap, but there are drawbacks. I paid them $100 a few days ago and planned on transferring a couple medium-sized sites (5GB/month traffic) to them, but now I'm having doubts. It seems that every time I try to do...

Faster and better than Cyberwings, $5 webhosting, Unlimited Email, FTP, SSL, Telnet, Real Video/audio, etc. etc.

Those who haven't signed up with dixiesys, keep in mind that they don't offer telnet or ssh, which I consider to be a crippling shortcoming. Where's the command line lovin!?

drowning in CDs

Hey, does anybody know of a good way to store and organize a whole crapload of CDs without jewel cases or envelopes? I've burned so many, but I just have them laying around in giant stacks, making things impossible to find. Thanks. Vlad

Warm ??? Monster Sound MX400 (retail) = $34.99 shipped

My MX300 was having compatibility problems with my motherboard in Win2K so I got the MX400. I am not at all proud of this card. It had infinite problems with the gameport (fixed by installing the oldest possible drivers), there is sometimes sound distortion in Win2K, enabling Direct3D will...

Samsung SD-612 DVD drive won't read DVDs

Hey, I got this drive about a month ago, but did not have any DVDs to test it with until now. Here's the thing, the drive reads CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs just fine. But when I put in a DVD (At any time: before/after POST, in DOS, in Win98SE), the drive blinks for an indefinite amount of time...

Free Military T-Shirt

Cyberian, come on, there is no need to take pot-shots at my post from personal convictions. I am an immigrant myself, so it was a bit shameful to make the mistake, but didn't we all get the meaning? Anyway, your very last sentence matches almost exactly what Albert said. He despised the act...

It's amazing how consistently people miss the point of so short and frank a statement. Please re-read it several times, and perhaps you will understand that he is indeed against war and going happily to kill them before they kill you. He hates the system, And did everybody forget that...
