    I was wondering if I could successfully run a Asus Striker II Extreme with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450. I've seen threads on other sites where people list it in their system specs but I haven't seen a...

    Re: I Can't Find A Good Case!

    That one actually made the list of ones I somewhat liked. Would a LCS fit into that?

    I Can't Find A Good Case!

    Well I've been looking for a Mid-ATX case with no power supply but I can't find anything that I like. I also want to have the I/O and all the ports on the front, not the top or side. All the results...

    Re: No Sound From my Optical Drives!

    You know what? If you need a good media player just use VLC:

    This program will play ANYTHING you put into it. If it doesn't then finding codecs is easy. It's tiny too!

    Re: Picking some HDDs and RAM

    Well I'm planning to have the 750 for all my files and programs, the 100 maxtor partitioned to have all my OSs on. And then I have some lying around here for backup/other storage.
  10. Re: No sound and device manager cannot install a driver

    The ISO for Ubuntu is almost a gigabyte though. But I'm gonna put it on my new machine when I build it.

    Re: Picking A Power Supply

    5 HDDs, a desktop mobo, A 9800 GX2 gfx card (they didn't have a GTX 280), a floppy drive, a dvd rw, three USB devices, three cold cathodes, a few large fans, and a swiftech m665 water pump.

    I put a bunch of stuff in and it recommended 705W. So I'll just add up the specs once I finalize parts and crunch it then.

    Re: I Have A Few Watercooling Questions

    Why bother with a 9800? Go for a GTX 280!

    Also is special coolant really that good? Or can I just use radiator fluid from a car, or distilled water?

    Also, are anti-kink coils really that...

    Re: I Have A Few Watercooling Questions

    Hmm, but wouldn't that mean that the next block in line gets warmer water, and hence less effective cooling?

    Those materials are easy enough to get...I think. Would a two-part epoxy work for that...
