the UPS blew out on its own. the power supply is a corsair 520 watt model that was installed by me and it was top of the line 4 years ago. i've had problems with hard drives and vid cards. i'm wondering if it could have caused some sub catastrophic damage.

really, so there's no way it could have damaged my pc with all the blue flashes and crap coming out of it a few years back?

why do they still have 32 bit then?

i meant "i was looking for a way to protect my computer if my !!!!!UPS!!!! decides to start shooting sparks everywhere."

and no! this is not about downloading. i'll be buying the thing. i will probably be going with at least pro since it has an xp mode (i ain't blowing $200 bucks on an office suite when i already have one!). i just need to know if the 64 bit version is compatible with games and software and all...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112322 I've been eyeballing the above lian-li. it's actually cheaper than the version without the window on the side for some reason. i was going to replace the fans with noctua fans. i know nothing about liquid cooling except that it...

what is the difference (other than the bit rate) of the 64 bit version? will it work with games and programs and whatnot the same as the 32 bit version? how do you determine which version to get?

i was looking for a way to protect my computer if my psu decides to start shooting sparks everywhere. i am concerned with quality and reliability.

back to the original question, is that lever lock system in that lian li really that much better than the screws used to mount pci cards in most cases?

i've read these are delayed right now. the am3+ motherboards are starting to appear online for sale, but there are no processors for them. how long will one have to wait for the good am3+ cpu's to be out?

what's up with these motherboards that only have 1 or 2 fan power plugs? is there any way around this lack of plugs problem (besides buying a more expensive MB)?

are there any cheaper fans out there that are just as quiet?

but no need for more than 8, right? it may end up being used for things like corel draw and photoshop as well. I know my current xp rig with 4gb cannot handle corel draw very well.

I was wondering if it's a bad idea to put a surge protector in line after a backup power supply? around 4 years ago the Belkin ups that i bought had blue flashes and sparks shoot out of it. it didn't seem to damage my pc but you can never tell if it's just diminished performance. anyway, i...

first, is there any point in having more than 8gb of ram?

why do we even have these slots anyway? i guess everything will go usb eventually, eh?

pci slots suck. i guess the only reason i'd have for one is for a tv tuner card anyway :/

yeah, is an am3+ motherboard backward compatible with an am3 cpu? and are the heat sink mounting options the same?

i won't be doing much gaming with this pc as most games are starting to become dull to me. i would like to play things like front mission evolution, the next stalker game and the witch 2 with max settings. i am hoping to be able to get a discount on the photoshop master suite so that i can buy...

yeah, but these cases are actually cheaper than their solid counterparts. think this cooler would be better than the noctua? http://www.xoxide.com/thermalright-silver-arrow-cooler.html and no, i'm not into gaming, it just want my pc silent and cold no matter how cheap i am on air...
