Hey, so I have an HTPC that I would like to upgrade into a mid-level gaming/steam box. The problem.. my MOBO (Intel DG45FC) is integrated video with no PCI-E slot capable of a gaming videocard. I need suggestions on a new MOBO and case...
I want it to be compatible with my old parts, so I can...
Not sure if this has already been posted, but I thought it was pretty damn well done!

So I recently upgraded and sold my old videocard to a buddy (nvidia 8800gt), the card runs really hot. Too hot for his case (HP Pavilion) -- I added extra fans and even tried a GPU cooler card underneath it.
I'm just going to take the card back and sell it on ebay. My question is what is a...
I'm thinking about upgrading, what would you do if you were me? Upgrade CPU, GPU or should I just get a new system altogether?
Current System:
Intel Q6600
Asus p5k motherboard
Nvidia 8800gt
4gb ram
I can play almost everything full settings.. with the exeption of Crysis and Modern...
So my noisy power supply fan (inside the unit) finally died on me.. now my question is (since its pretty difficult to remove the old fan) can I just mount a fan to the bottom of my PSU below the dead fan and be just as effective? Or do I just need to buy a completely new powersource?
The...
So this is my current system:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
1.50gb RAM
ASUS A8N-SLI MOBO
ATI x1900xtx 512MB PCI-E Video Card
500W Power supply
I'm thinking about upgrading my videocard to a BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB GDDR3 (...
So I just purchased an ATI x1900xtx off of ebay, and in doing some reading I realized I might possibly have to upgrade my power supply. Firstly I've read that some cards require a cable from the power supply directly to the PCI-E card. If I'm not running crossfire do I need this? Here is my...
Ok, I understand the idea of SLI and I have an SLI motherboard. I get that you link two cards together... now, does that mean you really have double the power? And if so how significant is it... for example can two midrange cards connected via SLI outperform a top of the line card?
I...
So i just ordered myself a complete new system, and the videocard it comes with is an ASUS Extreme AX800/2DTV.. not the AX800 XT, or XL, or PRO... just the ASUS Extreme AX800 256MB PCI-Express video card. The thing is I can't find a review for this card ANYWHERE. I can only find reviews for the...
I have an Ati Radeon 9600xt right now, i'm thinking about upgrading to the 9800xt... how dramatic of an improvement should I expect? Or would you recommend i upgrade to another card. Keep in mind I dont want to spend anymore than $500 CDN.

I just saw this skimming through their magazine today at work. I dunno if there is a better site/link with more pics. But that main pic is of the case mod.. thats not a game render...

Wow! Saw it last night. Anyone else see this movie yet? Really good, very funny at times, and deep and serious at the same time.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend it. Zach Braff has enough talent to choke a donkey.

I currently have an Ati Radeon 9600xt, but seeing as I have alot of extra money kicking around I was thinking about upgrading my videocard to a Radeon x800 XT. However, I'm concerned as to whether I should even bother upgrading my videocard until I get a faster system. My system is probably a...
Please tell me I'm not the only person who has a boner for this show? Fooking hilarious. Dr. Cox is my hero.
And I heard Heather Graham joins the cast for like 8 episode next season... which i believe begins at the end of this month.
I e-mailed Gabe yesterday explaining that I'm going to be visiting Seattle this weekend and asked if I could get a tour. To my suprise when I got off work this morning (blah! from a graveyard shift) my cell phone rang and it was a lady (secretary?) from Valve saying Gabe received my e-mail and...
