Gotta use Amazon gift cards, yay Christmas, but I have a 1080 now. Trying to keep it under $500 too, as I don't want to add too much of my own $ into it. It looks like I could get this: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0BCR4FKLB/?coliid=IK7E535Z5PXWP&colid=CTYNC0BWM1DB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it...

I'm working at a place with a bunch of offices scattered around, and with 15-50 people at remote offices. I'm trying to set up a local VEEAM repository at each location for their desktops/laptops and I need a good solid decently fast NAS or such for on site storage. I don't need the 10GB, as...

I was given the opportunity to raid a Dell T630 but I cannot take the entire box. It only has 64 gig ram and 1 TB of HD space, and while I might swipe the perc, it is basically useless except on a similar motherboard... BUT the CPU could be useful on other motherboards, if I can find one...

I have these http://www.klipsch.com/products/promedia-ultra-5-1-computer-speaker-system and now the center front speaker doesn't work any more. It seems that there is either another resistor or another cap that has finally gone, and yet there I don't see anything physical or smell anything off...

And I say that as this is likely the place I will be buying my next monitor unless something wonderful comes along... Right now, I am looking at this: VIZIO M50-C1 50" Class 4K Ultra HD 120Hz Smart LED TV - Newegg.com or what they call a Samsung UN48JU640D which appears to be their version of...

My MSI MB just died hard, and supposedly, a bios failure on this model, the Z68A-GD80 B3 is relatively common. I am trying to start an RMA on it, but to be honest, the 3 year warranty is already gone, so I don't expect much, unless MSI surprises me. In any case, if they don't, I want to know...

I played EQ for 5 years, got to be one of the higher enchanters way back when, from 2000 to 2005... but that game is, to me, a little past it's prime and I cannot "go back" to it, even after trying to and logging into a free server last year. I played Vanguard for years off and on, and that...

OK, well, we've reached the point in our migration that our CIO wants to pull the floor out from those who haven't made arrangements to swap out yet. Basically, he wants to totally deny anyone with an xp pc from even logging into the network after the end of the month so that they come to us to...

Darn Bios upgrade... first, it had begun to constantly reboot 2-3 times a day and according to the microsoft technet stuffs, bugcheck 124 is hardware, 139 appears to be linked to bios or memory overwriting, and there was another... so I tried to find out how to disable bios caching, which I...

http://www.pcbundler.com/ Yeah, I know.. this is my link to it, but hey, they got me to buy it. I was looking to grab Teracopy just for my WAN copy jobs anyway, but this seemed like a good enough deal for me to refer others. Let me know whether this counts as "hot", too, as this is my first...

I lost my EVGA 780i and am looking for a replacement. Here is the link to the old MB: http://www.evga.com/articles/385.asp I only use a single video card, so the SLI isn't important, but it needs to support the e8400 CPU. I would prefer new, but I'm realistic, and a guaranteed working...

My i780 died, and EVBGA has been downright wonderful in working with me on getting it swapped out with a working one. Problem is, the one I received back died after a couple days as well, with the same exact code. "25" is supposed to be video card, but I've tried 3 cards in it, and it DID work...

Ok, I am looking hard at building a file share/VM server and I have questions as for ONLY the CPU I should look at for the VM running. Obviously, an i5 would likely handle the majority of what I want to do, even running a VM or 3, as it IS quad-core, but the 8150 is 5 core and roughly the same...

I like the speakers, had them repaired twice even, which totals the cost up over $600 over the years for them, so I'd like to keep using them, but I'm extremely happy with my CPU/MB/VC setup, and still not quite sure about running them off of the z68-GD80 built-on sound card... I don't want...

I have an Evo 4g and I'm thinking that while this has been a great phone, it may be time to move on. I have an "in" at sprint, so to speak, so I'm on the family program, but I'm told that they are all talking about iphones right now. I have a 4 already from work, so I don't feel the need or...

Seriously, I just got a spammage email from a certain defrag company about speeding up a mobile phone by using their software. It's a memory card, and I feel like it would ne like defragging an SSD. i.e. almost always not worth much. BUT, and here is the question, does it actually WORK? Does...

I have a T105 Poweredge server and I'm looking for a cheap way to upgrade it before I decide to scrap it if I can. I don't want to spend more than $100, and I'm sure that such a proc would already be in used condition. As long as it works, I'll be happy. I'll also consider "lesser" CPUs, but...

The subject says it all... I was ectatic when i found a couple of these for sale in the DFW area for 325 each, and now this one has some bad green color bleed... Otherwise, it works, which is why I'm still using it, but obviously not for gaming now... I did splurge on a Hanns-G 28" and sat...

Ok, I found a good ram disk program, which saves the information in it on boot times, etc. although it costs like $12... Here is the question: besides for compiling programs, something I don' do, and for running a web browser from, what else would be good to do with it? Scenario: I'm...

Ok, quick question: I bought a 8800 GT 512 meg card that honestly does what I want it to do, with the possible exception of future graphic demands, games, etc. I paid 214 for it, and $ doesn't grow on my trees. I can "update" to the 260 for less than $200 I think <399-214> but would I see...

Anyone know what the best one out there would be? The person I'm supporting here has a Dell C521, and I can add more RAM and such, but the end goal would be to run Vanguard on the box... I'd LIKE to replace the entire thing, but as the video card is literally the weakest link with this box, I...

I'm somewhat annoyed by my motherboard showing pc-4300 by default. I finally have it showing 6400, but I admit to being mildly confused by what the timings SHOULD be by default on my motherboard for this RAM, and then I'd like to know what I might safely tamper with to overclock it a slight...

My dad supports a company who has a lady CFO who is tired of getting the increase penis size emails even in her junk mail folder... Yes, it is already filtered properly, etc., but she pays the bills. Anyway, it appears that there are a few products out there for this that he has been looking...

Alrighty then, I installed 2 1gig modules onto my MB, achieved a very nice overclock, or so I thought, setting the chips at ddr2-1025 in the BIOS (if I remember correctly) and that is with the timings at 4-4-4-4. To me, this appears great, the system is totally stable, yet one thing concerns me...

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=160184 Well, so far so good, but I'm wondering if I am missing anything. Orthos is running smooth at an hour now, temps are steady at 58 and 57 C. Should I worry about anything else? Anything obvious to change too? or leave it alone?

The only reason I would use the 2nd controller that controls the IDE cable would be for more than 4 SATA devices or needing to run an IDE type DVD drive, right? Can I get by with just picking up a SATA DVD drive and leave that controller off, or do I need it for the floppy drive too? Or, in...

A long time ago (A relocation, divorce,etc ago), I had asked for a lot of opins on purchasing hardware to go into a p180 case, and so I just thought I'd share my mildly expensive build with you all in return, as anyone who helped should know what I did, and I beleive all would find it wisely...

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=203447441&adid=17654&dcaid=17654 tempting, and new, but my MB doesn't support eSata yet, so I am stuck watching the wootoff. This may be what you need, though, so good luck.

After researching my MB, I am thinking of buying this if it is cheaper than the one I just saw on Ebay... In any case, I am almost about to replace the MB and chip again if I can get a decent deal on that and this idea doesn't work. However, as I just went through the re-validation with...

Well, if that is how you spell it... I just got my X-mas cash, and I have an Antec Truepower 2.0 Power Supply that needs a home inside of a case. Past Antec cases have been good to me, so after looking a bit, I found this slightly unusual nice looking case, and realized it would still be...
