I would of said the Simpsons but in recent years they have gone completely down hill. Furturama, while canceled had a great few years were every episode was top quality.

I don't use any av and haven't for over 3 years. Have never had a problem without one either. Smart surfing and knowledge of the operating system causes much less problems and doesn't steal any resources. :)

I have had a logitech mx518 for 4 years now and It hasn't died. The 518 was what came right before the g5 and has the same shape and design but it has a forward key and its not lazer but optical. I use a black surface and it works fine.

Control Panel > Admin Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management > Right click on volume and select shrink volume.

I agree with spooky on this one. Just shrink the 120 so you don't need to reinstall anything. Leave some space for steam expansion on the 120 partition and then make the 30 bigger.

Could be a static build up in the line. Call your dsl provider and see what they can do for you. If it is a static build up it could take a few hours to build up till the point that it blocks the signal and the it will naturally discharge over time allowing a connect to reoccur. Had that problem...

They are pretty much the exact same ps. They both have a single 12 v rail which is what you want to see. I would say go with the pc power and cooling for two reasons. 1st being its cheaper which you can't argue against and pc power and cooling is notorious for having the best power supplies on...

I would go with a pc power and cooling just for the main fact that their not modular. Modular power supplies have a lot of resistance at the modular connections and therefor you don't get what you pay for in the long run. PC power and cooling power supplies will last longer then you do.

spend a little bit more and get a much better motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359

I'm running raid 0 right now with two 320gb hard drives but when you use two hard drives in raid 0 that chance of failure becomes higher. Its only a gaming box so If I loose anything it all can be downloaded from steam again. If you plan on using it as your primary box then I would recommend...

in the top right had of the picture above you will see a 4 pin make sure that is connected along with the twenty four pin.

I haven't had a problem with any games including ins on windows 7. I'm running a pre beta 32-bit version. Its like a late 6xxx version from what I can recall. I'm at work right now or I would check.

Completely agreed. The only kits I actually like are the external ones if the case you use does not have the room for a water cooling kit. But since you have a full tower you will be fine. Also if you are not going to be over clocking a large amount I would recommend against a water cooling...

I personally dont use any anti virus or anti spyware software if I was going to recommend one though it would be nod32. Go out and pick up a copy its 30 bucks. It is hands down the best software at protecting against malicious attacks on a machine.

Its not the response time that causes dead pixels its the size of the screen. The larger the screen the higher chance of a dead pixel. Thats why its usually best to go with a vendor that has a 1 dead pixel replace policy. Some have to have 4 or more to replace the panel.
