I can't seem to find a clear answer online, but say when you buy a B450 Tomahawk from MSI I see it has a red l.e.d. strip on the backside. Does this come on by default or do you have to install the Mystic Lightning software to make it work? Is there something in the bios to disable it if not...
So over time here I always see some threads about people hating Drobo devices. Now I was never around for the FS device, but I have heard it was slow. Now I know all about Synology, Qnap, Netgear, Whs, Zfs, etc. But Drobos have always intrigued me. Over the years I had still been rocking my...
I know this is kinda strange but was wondering how legal this is? How legal is it for a computer repair place to clone your entire harddrive and store it on a central server every time they bring it in? I mean like 30 terrabytes of data labeled with the persons last name and first and stored for...
I currently have a Gigabyte 6870 with the stock reference. Love the card really no complaints or anything except the noise. In regular windows its fine but I hate the noise it makes when I am gaming. Yes I know they are going to make noise but it seems like with all the new aftermarket coolers...
Thought I would just throw this out there. I am looking for an unscratched Spectral Tiger loot card. Or any other mount cards that you may have available. I have Heat, Paypal etc. PM me if you have any. Thankyou. :)
So I am moving my domain away from my old host. I am moving it back to go daddy so I can manage my name servers etc. Anyways it has been a chore the support with my current host has been horrible and have basically been holding it for ransom. I paid their transfers fees and go daddy's transfers...
I was wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions. I was thinking of getting a 4g 32gig touch. I really don't want to use Itunes. Can you buy apps directly off the touch and download them over wireless to itself? What I would really like to do is use Foobar to transfer music to it...
So I have laying around here 2x 500gig wd5000aaks drives. I also have 1x 300gig wd velociraptor. Should I go raid 0 with the 2x 500gig drives. Or use the single velociraptor drive? Which do you think would be faster?
So I think it's about time for an upgrade for me. Is the 6850 going to be a great upgrade for me? Should I spend the extra and move up to a 6870? I only game on a 22" wides creen so I don't really game at high resolutions. Think I should go 6850 or 6870? What would you do? Thanks for the help. :)

I have for sale an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W 45nm Dual-Core Processor socket 775. It has never been overclocked. I never overclock my chips. It is in MINT condition and includes the box, fan, book and sticker, just like you would receive when you...
I am considering purchasing this card, but all the reviews on it say it's a loud card. I don't mind it getting loud if it needs to cool itself down, but how loud does it get while just doing nromal stuff like web browsing etc.? I am coming from a Nvidia 260, which to me is whisper quiet all the...
No need to bump this thread anymore. I ended up returning it and keeping my velociraptor. I am much happier now. But thanks to everyone that posted!
So I just received my new Intel X25-M drive yesterday. I was moving from a 300gig velociraptor. I enabled AHCI and I also have the latest...
So I am thinking about picking up a SSD drive. I noticed that there is only a $10 difference between these two. Which one would you pick between?
OCZ Agility Series 60gig SSD
or
OCZ Vertex Series 60gig SSD
I am going to be running Windows 7 on it. Thanks for any input! :)
Do any of you ever bother to install the Intel chipset drivers on a system running windows 7? I mean if you not running raid or anything do you just leave it alone? None of my drivers are missing or anything I was just wondering if they are a good thing to install anyways and if there are any...
Would you upgrade from a Nvidia 260 to either a 5850 or a 5870? Is it worth it? I have been playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 lately and I can turn everything up on it. But I know my card doesn't support direct x 11 and the new 5850/5870 does. Am I missing anything? Would you upgrade?

Ok just recently I ran across my old 5 1/4 floppy disks. I wrote a bunch of games on these for the Commodore 64 back in the day. I tried hooking up a 5 1/4 drive to a XP machine, but everything I go to read the data it asks me to format them. I also have access to multiple 5 1/4 drives and...
Ok I would really like to get an offsite back for my WHS data. Now I know there are quite a few offsite hosting solutions such as Mozy and Carbonite. The deal is most don't place nicely with WHS. Or they want to charge you for a "business" plan. So I was thinking of this solution after reading...

Ok so i just got a new X-fi Titanium sound card the other day. It's the PCI-x version. I installed it and I have my front audio and mic ports hooked up to it using the Intel HD port. I did a clean reload and downloaded the newest driver for it off of Creatives website. Everything is works...
Ok here is my little problem, I have windows home server up and running and everything works great. I have my music collection on the server, and am sharing it out. I have the drive mapped to this folder, and have it re-connect at login. Then i load up a music progrma ie: Itunes, Foobar etc. and...
Sorry been wanting to put this up just have been busy. Ok i use to be running a Raid 3 setup, but decided that i need more flexibility in the future. Plus i wanted to try out WHS. I already had the case that wasn't being used. Plus the power supply that was laying around. I wanted this to be...
I was thinking on picking up some of these for the wife for Christmas. Has anyone successfully used them on the PS3? Any problems? I have the 80gig version, and i also own the PS3 singstar vol 1 with the mics. Thanks Guys.
I have a PNY netcell raid card. Everything works just fine with it (currently running raid 3). I was considering moving towards WHS and was wondering if i could just attach my sata drives to it and use it just as a standard host controller for my WHS to see? Do you think this would work? I would...

Currently i am using my Supreme FX 2 that came with my motherboard. How much better would this card be? I know it's probably hard to explain to me. But what are you thoughts/opinions with this card? Is it awesome in games? Thanks for any input! :)
Ok right now i am using a Evga 8800gts 640mb Acs3 edition. I have always been using Nvidia cards for a long time. But now that my motherboard supports crossfire, i was thinking about going this way. Btw the board is a Asus Rampage Formula. Now what i am really looking for here is quality of the...
