Hey guys! So I have a quick question for the gamers out there! I'm looking into getting me a prebuilt desktop PC that is affordable and powerful enough to play just about any game on the market right now! I came across this thing and it's looking good to me! What do you think? Can you find a...
Hey guys,
I'm having a weird issue here that I have no idea how to fix. Every time I go to turn on my pc the next day, it won't boot unless I switch it off first - but that's not the whole story. I once tried switching off the psu before turning it on (again, a day later) and it still wouldn't...
I expect the answer to this is that I'll have to install Windows again, but I wanted to make sure before I open the disk case and waste $80.
Details:

Does anybody know if there are any websites or guides that explain how to actually build your own computer?
I do not mean buying cpu, gpu, etc to put together a pc but really make your own computer?
Couldn't find anything useful on the web so far but I hope perhaps you do.
Hey all,
I'm ready to build my first system. Primarily for gaming (FSX, Battlefield mostly). Obviously want a 4th gen Intel Core i7 (unless someone can convince me all I need is an i5) and it has to be unlocked to OC for FSX. I'm hoping for an NVidia GPU (again unless some convinces me that a...

I have an "AFT PRO-57U" USB 3.0 card reader that I just purchased. The cable for this card reader must plug into the mobo USB 3.0 20 pin connector. My mobo has only one 20 pin connector, which the USB panel on front of the PC case is currently occupying. I'd rather not have to unplug the case...

Inside there is a thin metallic silvery strip running along one of the edges inside of the case. 6" long.

And a yellow and black wire connecting both ends of this...

OK, here's a break from those difficult to solve problems. I've got a PC that's doing something I like. When I build a new system I'd like the feature in that one too.
