    Decent PSU?

    I'm gonna go with this Rosewill I think. Before I order, I'm gonna go brush my teeth and poop. Dissenters have ten minutes. If anyone has a reason why the Cap'n should not buy said power supply, speak now or go to hell.

    Decent PSU?

    Couldnt find any Thermaltakes with the necessary currents in my price range. So, if nobody has any objections, I think I will go with this one. Of course, I'll wait for your thoughts. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182009

    Decent PSU?

    Wow, glad I asked, was about to order it. I remembered something about a min current on the 12v rail but I fortgot the number. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182013 Getting there? *EDIT:* Thanks Tweed, but that would blow my budget for BOTH my PSU and RAM...

    Decent PSU?

    Hey again, as part of my upgrades, I'm going to be needing a new power supply, wanted to know if this PSU would cut it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817163017#DetailSpecs Essentially, I'll be running P4 at 2.8gigs, ASUS p4p800 mobo, two hard drives, 1 dvd burner, 1...

    RAM debacle

    Actually, just thought of something. IF I decided to go with buying three sticks of the 512 ram now, would I be slowing my system down in any way, running with four channels? Is doing this a wise decision?

    RAM debacle

    Ok, looks like I'm going for just a stick of 512, thanks for the advice everyone.

    RAM debacle

    What, may I ask, would be the problem with going to 1.5 gigs?

    RAM debacle

    Well, to make a long story short, I'm wanting this computer to alst two years, since I decided not to go with a full upgrade to a PCI express mobo, and hence will be using a 6800 series graphics card, I will be doing a complete new build at that point. But until then, I dont want to upgrade...

    RAM debacle

    Hey all, I currently have 512 pc3200 ram, and obviously I'm looking for more now. Ideally, I'd like to go two gigs, but the price is a little steep, so lets rule that out for now. Basically, I have the following options, unless I'm missing something. A: Get just another 512 stick, run it in...

    Argh. Buy Now?

    At all? I find that hard to believe. Seems more like a marketing push for the 7800, which which also be lower end by the time the new engine is out. I may be confused but I'm not stupid. My reasoning is that the 7800 seems like overkill for todays games, and yet will still be lower end for...

    Argh. Buy Now?

    But is the 6800gt still a good choice? I am a pretty serious gamer, and I want to be able to at least run UT2007, at least my goal is to have a card that is effective up until that point.

    Argh. Buy Now?

    I'm in pain over here, had just as much of my 9600xt as I can take, and I was planning on upgrading to a 6800gt, but the release of the 7800 complicates things. I want a good performer to last me about 2 years, but money is an issue, as I'm entering college next year. Also, I only have AGP, and...

    Inverted Joystick

    I'm having quite the problem with my joystick and flying, as x axis seems to be inverted (when I move the joystick to the left, I roll right) Obviously this makes flying impossible. The joystick is calibrated correctly in windows, and I cannot find a solution to this. Any help?

    Making a movie, requesting help.

    I swear by Ulead Mediastudio Pro (I have 6.5, 7 is out now). Its great, and I've never come across something I couldnt do in a movie. (My friends and I do this as a hobby) It's also much cheaper. And you can download a 30-day free trial, to see if you like it or if you need something urgently...
