| | many ppl deicde that they would like to build a comp with all the leet mods and cold cathode lights and coloured fans but wats the point its not asif ppl are going to stare at the case for fun and the money can be spent elsewhere such as a new graphics card. the computer case is just used to hold all the parts together and is put next to your feet so ppl shouldnt bother to spend hundreds of dollars on doing up their comp |

Worlds Fastest Computer Aka Roadrunner
(5) I had gotten my latest issue of playstation magazine and happen to stumble across an interesting
article about the worlds fastest computer and I have ot say that computer is fast. This computer
can do a petaflop or to break it down in simpler terms it can do over a quadrillion calculations per
second. Here is the kicker, hardware from the Playstation 3 system made this possible; includes
6,949 dual core AMD Opteron chips and 12,960 cell engines (heart of the PS3). As for cost I would
say including $400 for a PS3 that this computer cost at least or over $10 m....
What's The Difference Between 64 And 32 Bit?
Buying a new computer. (9) Hey everyone! I'm going to be buying a new laptop in a few months, and I am very confused
about one thing: AMD manufactures a LOT of 64 bit processors, while Intel almost never does.
I'm clueless when it comes to processors, and I'm concerned because I haven't really
been paying attention to processor specs as much as HD and RAM, even though those are the cheapest
and easiest to switch. Does anyone have any good tips about processors? I'm mainly wondering
what the difference between 64 bit and 32 bit is, but other than that I also want to know i....

Computer Screw Wont Come Out =(
Help me get this screw out please (7) Hello Trap17 Friends, I am posting this because I need help to get a computer screw unscrewed, the

Is It The Power Supply?
Help! I broke my computer while buildin it. (21) Okay, this is the second time building a computer on my own. The motherboard had a 24-pin socket but
I didn't notice that the power supply had a 20-pin connector with an extra 4-pin to go with the
20-pin one. So what I did without knowing the proper connection, I connected the 20-pin to the
240pin socket on the motherboard and the extra 4-pin to the 4-pin socket across from the
motherboard. The correct 4-pin was left hanging and wasn't used. So after all these things were
done and I connected the power cable to the PSU and switched it on, I heard some popping so....

What Is A Computer Form Factor

might want to build one by scratch. The form factor is used to determine what power supply,
computer cases and motherboards you can use when building a fully customized computer instead of
getting one pre-built; such as Dell, Apple, Sony, and Alienware. There are 6 form factors (in....
