Hi I bought these a couple months back as an interim solution until I had my house wired for Cat 6. They allow you to run ethernet across cable tv lines. Work great and I was impressed by their performance. Everything is included. More details on the product...

Hey folks Been out of the gaming scene since Battlefield 4 came out. I was just gifted a copy of Star Wars Battlefront and wondering if my specs will measure up. I'm guessing a new video card is needed? I have about $250 budget for upgrades at the mo. Thanks! My specs: -i5-2500K -8Gb...

Hi My wife would like a laptop to be used at home for basic tasks as follows: - General web browsing - Light MS Office applications (Word, Excel) There will be no gaming or other intense uses but it needs to be fairly snappy. She is currently using a 7 year old behemoth laptop which is...

Hi I currently have two PC's. A main rig for gaming and general use and then an HTPC in the living room. All my media is stored on 2x2TB HDDs which are located in my main PC. I access these files on my HTPC via a wired ethernet connection (using W7 Homegroups). I'm wondering if a NAS...

I'm swapping out my Asus P8Z68-V for the P8Z68-V/Gen3 (long story) and was wondering if I can just plug my existing boot SSD into the new mobo and everything will work fine. From what I can tell all the drivers are the same and the only difference between the two is the BIOS. Can anyone...

I installed a new P8Z68-V a couple of weeks ago and I notice the board has a 'squeal' issue. That is, it makes a high pitched squeal noise (not too loud but loud enough to annoy me). I did some research and found others who had similar issues (not all with Asus boards) and read that disabling...

******* SALE PENDING ******** Hi I just upgraded to Sandy Bridge so I'm selling my old IP35pro board with Q6600 attached that has served me well for 4 years. I also have 6Gb GSkill DDR2 ram installed. Included motherboard manual. Let me know if you have questions. Asking $125...

Not a bad deal considering no tax. Enjoy!

I'm getting the itch to upgrade my Q6600 & IP35 Pro set up but have been a little out of touch with the latest tech and things in the pipeline. I believe the i5-2500K and Z68 is the current prosumer choice. Q - Is it a good time to upgrade right now or is there something just around the...

Interesting article for those deciding between Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/review/2129461/samsung-galaxy-nexus-vs-iphone-4s-head-head-review Summary Design: the Galaxy Nexus is bigger, thinner and lighter Both devices are made from premium...

Apple fans are telling me to stay clear of Android because of the signficantly higher risk of virus, malware, etc. etc. Should I be worried?

OK, so I'm tempted to bail on iPhone and go Android. My fear is that while the phones look very powerful with all the bells and whistles, there will be only a fraction of the apps available versus what I'm used to on Apple. How is it?

Any ideas which direction SSD pricing is headed in next few months? Likely to be black friday deals? I've been holding out for a price drop on the Crucial M4 128 but in the last few days the price has shot up everywhere! I almost bit at $180 on Amazon but now its $210.

I've seen the top reasons to go Android posted here. What about from the iPhone users perspective? Here's what we have: 1. Stable OS 2. Superior battery life 3. Superior touchscreen performance 4. More apps (with developer support) 5. Superior customer service 6...

Hi I currently have about 3Tb (and growing) of media (movies, music, pics) on internal hard drives in my main PC. I have a separate HTPC which accesses these files using the HomeGroup functionality in Win 7. I have to keep my Main PC on all the time so that my HTPC can read the data as needed...

Hi I received a Crucial M4 64Gb SSD for my birthday. I'm new to SSD and would like some advice on how to install/setup/configure this thing properly. I've installed new HDD's before but I understand SSD require a little more tweaking to get it right. I plan to use the SSD on my HTPC which...

I have a brand new Corsair HX650W - unopened, factory sealed in box. One of the best modular PSU's out there! Price = $100 I am based in San Francisco, CA. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good PSU for my HTPC? I figure I need at least 350W. I really want a quiet one too (not fanless, just quiet). Had my eye on the Antec Earthwatts 380D but then read some poor reports. Thanks

This computer was custom built by ABS back in 2006 at a cost of $1600. Since I got a new one its just been sitting around. It is a great looking desktop capable of everyday use including web surfing, running Office applications and moderate gaming. Prefer not to ship the whole thing. Buyer...

I'm planning a low power, mid-range HTPC. It will be used primarily for 1080p playback (h264/bluray) and perhaps some light gaming. Most of my files will be obtained from an ethernet cable from my storage PC in another room so no need for tons of hard drives. My AV Receiver is Onkyo TX-Sr604...

Has anyone used the Silverstone ML03 case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163174 I want something a little smaller than your usual 6" high behemoths. I considered the Antec Micro Fusion 350 but read terrible things about the LCD. Then I found the Lian Li PC-C37 which...

I currently have been using my regular desktop to play movies on my HDTV. I output video using DVI and audio using SPDIF. I run through my Onkyo TX-SR604 receiver to my 5.1 speaker setup. My movie MKV files typically have DTS or DD (ac3) sound. Now I was under the impression I was getting the...

What do you guys think about this? http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overview.asp?Model=Vision%203D%20Series I was planning an HTPC build but saw this. Seems to be going for $850. Anyone have this and can comment?

I'm moving from an 8800GT to a GTX 560 Ti. Can I just go ahead and install the new drivers on top of the old ones? Or is it advisable to "clean" the old drivers off first? Sorry if this is a lame question...it's been a while since I upgraded!

I'm planning my first HTPC build. I'll be using it for 1080p decoding/playback and some moderate gaming. Hoping not to spend more than $125. CPU suggestions please? Prefer something low power. Thanks

I'm going to build an HTPC to sit in my cabinet under my TV. I will strip components out of an existing tower I have to use in the HTPC. That's an ATX motherboard and 8800GT video card. I'm looking for a horizontal type case, maybe around 4 or 5 inches high should be good. I will only need...

So for me its a toss-up between GTX 560 and 6870/6950. How about drivers? Is one better than the other? I've heard some Catalyst issues but I'm sure there are nVidia issues too as the cards are coming out faster than the drivers can be updated. I have Win 7 64. thanks

Hey folks I have $200 to spend on a new video card (currently using 8800GT). I'll be using it for gaming and video editing. Prefer a quiet card if possible. Can someone point me to the right card? There are too many out there for me to choose! Thanks

Hi folks I currently have a single PC which doubles as my HTPC. My computer sits in the office but I ran a 50 foot DVI cable from the second output on my nVidia 8800GT to my HDTV in the living room. When I want to watch a movie on my HDTV I simply select the relevant HDMI input on the TV and...

I currently have an nVidia 8800GT. One DVI goes to my 24" 1920x1200 monitor and the other feeds to my 46" 1920x1080 HDTV. I was able to set it up such that when I turn on the HDTV and select the 8800GT output the display automatically flips from the monitor the the HDTV (and changes res...
