    Which DVD+/-R? NEC or Lite-On

    Which DVD+/-R? NEC or Lite-On

    Hmm... It sounds like the NEC may be the answer... I've heard that it isn't overly good at ripping DVDs though? Any comment?

    Which DVD+/-R? NEC or Lite-On

    'llo I'm in the market for a decently priced 16x DL DVD +/- R... I've narrowed it down to either the Lite-On SOHW-1633S or the NEC ND-3500A . I've been doing a lot of reading on these two and they both seem like good choices... which is why I can't decide between them! What do you think...

    I hate farcry

    I think FarCry was the hardest FPS that I ever played but after overcoming my initial jitters with it it was also one of the most fun. My only real problem with it was that god-aweful save game system...

    AMD or P4 FINAL DISPUTE!!!

    That's the clearest description of the differences that I've seen... that should go in a FAQ

    National security and wireless hotspots

    I dunno, it seems to me like open Wi-Fi wouldn't necessarily provide that much more privacy than using an anonymous proxy but maybe I'm missing something. Also some stores (I think WalMart did at one point) have pre-paid internet cards that (according to my understanding, I never actually...

    ~240 for digital camera

    I've been pretty happy with my Canon A70... Grab a little noise reduction software and that puppy will produce images that look like they came from a much more expensive camera. One piece of advice though... be sure to get a screen protector for the LCD... the plastic they use on it isn't...

    How could Nvidia screw me like this?

    I had the same problem with the GeForce3 I use on my office computer... it seriously made me angry until I discovered Media Player Classic, since then I've had no problems because it doesn't check for macrovision. (Or you can decrypt it to your HD with DVDecrypter or a similar program)...

    What's an acceptable frame rate?

    lol! Personally I'm fairly happy with 45+... can I tell the difference between it and 60... well yes, but it just isn't that big of a deal for me... I'd rather run the game with more visual candy on a cheaper system than have the extra smoothness.

    What are the top 5 brands of PSU?

    The RAM was toasted (as in it had some scorch marks on it!) and the CPU was dead as was the graphics card (not that that was a great loss). I tossed the optical drive (an old DVD-ROM) because I figured it was dead as well. Amazingly the hard-drive survived which was good because the only...

    What are the top 5 brands of PSU?

    All right if you insist. :) So my old roommate was one of those programmer types who never had anything to do with hardware but for some reason felt supremely confident with it. Anyway, one of our friends brought a computer that was refusing to POST by our room for a quick diagnostic. I...

    Need Help Choosing a PSU

    Welll it really depends on what you are looking for in your PSU... Do you want a silent one? Do you want a robust one? Do you want an attractive one with fancy bells and whistles? My stand-by recommendation for cheap PSUs is this one...

    What are the top 5 brands of PSU?

    I mostly agree with what has been said... Especially that it is best to consider PSU's based on the specific model, not by manufacturer. For example, an Enermax that I got bundled with a cheap Enermax case caused me all sorts of problems that were remedied when I replaced it with a medium-range...

    Planning: A New Face For An Old Case

    'llo all, After taking far too much time off of modding (last time I did any modding, cutting your own window was still [h]ardcore), I've decided to do a simple mod on an old Enermax CS-003 that houses my day-to-day office computer. I've always liked the simplicity of this case's design...

    Check this thing out

    Neat find... Useless to most people but neat none-the-less. If someone found a broken one for cheap I could see it being used in some pretty cool retro-mods.
