The Creative Labs Arena Surround headset is available at the link for $133 if you can manage to stretch your budget $17.

EVGA Graphics Card at Best Buy $457 plus three games. In my opinion, it's the absolute best deal on the market.

That's a mini-ITX case. Just drill a hole through the back of the desk drawer where the cable ports are and slide the entire chassis right inside the drawer. 😁

edit: I'm going to go measure the height of the case now to see if this setup might actually work. xD

edit: It's 5 inches tall.

Perhaps you would find something like this?

Do you think this looks good? xD

I opted for the Armorsuit because it seemed straightforward; I felt it would integrate seamlessly into the space. It isn't some loud, obnoxious design—it possesses a certain classic quality.

Take a look at how impressive this case looks..

Larry Morales12 said:I have a question for the experts here. I just picked up a 22'' monitor that is supposed to support a 1920x1080 resolution. However, once I hook it up and check my settings, the highest resolution I can select is 1600x1200. Can anyone tell me how to unlock the higher resolution?

Are you looking under the display settings in your drivers or within the Windows Control Panel? Also, specify which graphics card you are using.

What kind of power supply and CPU are you running? Also, what resolution are you playing at?

No problem 🙂

To get this working, grab your monitor remote and hit the SOURCE button, followed immediately by the TOOLS key. From there, you need to navigate to the "edit name" option and confirm your selection by pressing the OK/Accept button on the remote.
Once the source selection window pops up, locate the HDMI section and select the PC input—just make sure to hit OK/ACCEPT once you reach the HDMI menu so the full list of available sources displays. After that, use the Coachella button to back out and select the specific HDMI output.

Alternatively,

you can simply switch it over to a VGA or DVI cable.

Which Samsung model are we talking about? Dealing with those surveys is always such a headache...

Jose Ruiz2 said:What do you guys think about the ATI Radeon HD5770, 1GB? I'm looking at it specifically for newer titles.

In my opinion, it should perform well enough. What is your take on this?

What are the rest of your specs?

Which specific model are we discussing?

In my opinion, this review is slightly inferior to the NH-D14.
The NH-D14 takes up half the motherboard, 😬

edit: installation is straightforward 👍
YouTube is a lifesaver!!

Buy an H50 and you'll hit 4 GHz easily.😬

Joshua Scott49 said:Look, here is the current situation:
Motherboard...... Intel Dragontail peak DP35DP
Processor........ Intel Core 2 duo E8500, 3.16ghz x 2
RAM.............. 2gb DDR2
Graphics Card.... ATI Sapphire HD3870 GDDR4, 512mb
Power Supply..... Antec 500 w

I want to upgrade this machine so it can actually handle newer games at decent settings.
I plan on adding another 2gb of RAM and swapping out the GPU. I was considering picking up an ATI Sapphire HD 6850 GDDR5, 1gb, 256bit - $467

Is that a better move than the $133 more expensive 6870 version? 😁
And will my power supply hold up?

The 6870 version is the better value.
I believe the power supply will be sufficient.

James Morris4 said:If I recall correctly, Turbo is meant for CPU Overclocking, while Afterburner is for the GPU. xD
It depends entirely on what you intend to overclock. For the processor, you should stick to the BIOS, whereas the GPU can be handled via MSI Afterburner.

I had the exact same thought, but I held back because I didn't want to look like an idiot. xD
I am 100% certain about MSI Afterburner, but I wasn't completely sure about Turbo.😁
