Hello all,I just ordered parts to build my first system (see below for specifics).  The motherboard seems to present (based on reviews) some challenges, which makes me a bit nervous for a first build.  Are there any good online resources to walk me through the build?  As a plan B, there is a local computer repair shop that I trust which charges ...

I'm currently using two 17'' monitors on my aging machine and will be building a gaming box soon.  The two 17'' monitors are not ideal for gaming, so I was considering purchasing a 28'' monitor and sticking it in between the two 17's.  Can I use this machine in two modes somehow?   Mode 1 (work): Linux, 3 monitors driven by 2 Nvidia ...

I have an older SVA 17'' LCD (model #VR-17B) that when I hook up to my new system, I get absolutely no video signal. The BIOS is set for PCI-E for a default video source, so I'm at a bit of a quandary. I have another video card that I used to set up the system and it works fine....in VGA mode....it does not have a DVI connection. After I got all ...

This is actually a 2 part question.  I will post what I sent to Newegg Customer Support.  (They sent me here, of course.  Which is, well, heh, heh, why I'm here!  ) #1 - I am currently pricing a very close to top of the line system and since most of the components are going to come from newegg, I thought that I might ask you ...

I am upgrading from the old socket 754 build I put together in college. This is my preliminary list of hardware. The budget is tight, so I'll be putting the core together first, reusing some old components, and upgrading as I can. I don't have too many builder friends, so any opinions and input would be greatly appreciatedMotherboard BIOSTAR ...

Hey everybody. I currently own an NVIDIA 8800GTX and have been extremely pleased with it. But I recently got a 24'' (1920x1200) monitor and certain games chug a little on this card. Sadly, I am borderline on being an NVIDIA fanboy, and I was all set to fork over nearly $500 for the new GTX 280...but the HD4870 kept popping into my mind. What do ...

  Well I am finished with my First ever build and It went surprisingly well! The only thing I didnt get from newegg was the Hard drives I got them from a Brick and Mortor store around here, they were a 500GB Seagate and a 500GB Maxtor External for backups. I had everything put together and ready to install the Os In about 4 hours BUT I ...

I've had my rig for a little over 5 months now.  I've always experienced some issues with the PC (if I play a bunch of videos back to back, or skip through them in WMP, my comp crashes), but I didn't think much of them.  Within the past month, my PC has been crashing with some regularity.  Vista said it was due to the NVIDIA SATA ...

I built my last system in Feb of 2006 (all Newegg, of course!), and recently it has started acting extremely flaky.  I am running Windows XP on a Athlon 3700+, 2G of RAM, Biostar TForce4 SLI mobo.  It has a video card but I forget what I put in there.   It's been rock solid all this time but in the last month I've had 2 hard ...
