I think the mac OS is a good OS but the fact that you HAVE to buy the comp from apple and pay outrageously for it is why i despise it. Im a PC tech and you can build a very good quality computer that looks good and has equal if not better specs fo...

I posted a while ago about a hard drive format issue with Win7. It just turns out the Hard drive was un-initialized and i felt like an idiot cause i could of sworn i already did that. But now with my system (running win7 pro) has my OS HD (a 250GB...

I would have to go with Asus like many of you have. My first build was with an Asus P5QL-Pro that i really liked. It fit the bill until the sata controller chip fried and my sata ports obviously quit working. I replaced that with a P5Q Deluxe whi...
