Hey everyone! I used to be super active on here about 10 years ago but building computers and gaming as hobbies have kinda fallen by the wayside a while ago. Just trying to get back into gaming again and having some crash issues. I was trying to play HL: Alyx finally, and my PC won't do more...

Hey yall! I found these fittings recently from like 10 years ago. Asking $50 for the lot or make me an offer. Only willing to sell all together. Everything is 1/2ID and 5/8OD. Local to Seattle. Thanks!

I'd like to get rid of some odds and ends I've had lying around a while before I fly out on the 12th. All prices are OBO. Possibly open to trades but it would have to be something I could take with me and get here by the 11th. :) I prefer Paypal but can also accept Venmo or Square Cash. I have...

Hey all, been off the forums a while but am finally going to be replacing my old Gateway XHD3000 I had for about 6 years. I have no clue about monitors since that one basically fell into my lap, but I do know I want freesync and greater than 60hz, I would like to try 100. Higher than that is...

Got a full computer here I'm selling for a friend who moved. Comes with either of two monitors. Older parts, but work great and would make a great secondary box or children's pc or HTPC etc. Either monitor is for sale as well if you're not interested in the computer. Here's my price breakdown...

I am wearing out the WASD keys on my keyboard since pretty much 90% of my PC usage these days is gaming. it's also a pain since my huge keyboard barely fits on my keyboard tray, so I'd rather just have one of those things that only has about 10-20 keys plus maybe a thumbwheel and whatever that...

can someone please help me find a tablet for my girlfriend? she is a 1st grade teacher and just got a smart board in her classroom and I guess went to some workshop recently where they showed some things you can do with a tablet. i believe they used an ipad and it seems from my research that...

Hey all! I just upgraded my gaming rig with a new G3258, gigabyte Z97n itx, and a R9 280X. I popped them all in, attached my water coolers, and it booted right into windows no problem! I think since my old mobo was also Gigabyte (H55n) it could use some of the drivers or something. Anyway I...

i think i am looking for a 7970 or better, but not interested in a card used for mining. price range for a 7970-290X or nvidia equivalent is $150-250. i am on a 450W psu so anything that uses too much more power than that won't work for me. green or red team is fine. pm me what you got. shipping...

Either my motherboard or cpu died so it's upgrade time! After I saw Linus's video on the G3258 I decided I want one. This rig is for almost exclusively gaming and watching tv, so I think it's the perfect cpu. Haven't really kept up with cpus since the last time I upgraded which was to an i7 860...

So my computer seems to boot, but nothing displays on the screen. It just stays black. I have tried plugging in my DVI dell, my DVI Gateway, and my HDMI projector, both to the video card, and then to the mobo after I removed the video card. For troubleshooting purposes I also tried each stick of...

hey all, i know there is the sticky thread for routers, but i was wondering about modem/router combo units. my parents are switching to comcast soon and want to avoid the rental fee ($8/mo) for the modem/router. i looked at the comcast site and saw on their supported list that they have the...

Hey all! I really like the NUC, but have heard they can be loud. I am looking for something for a server/HTPC to replace my current one, so I want something low power that can be on all the time, as well as nearly silent. I do game on my current HTPC, but the integrated 4400 graphics on a modern...

Hey all! I have a Gigabyte H67n-USB3 with an i3 2100 and a AMD 5570 that's been running for a while now. I think I built it early 2011. Well a week or two it stopped displaying once it booted. It definitely booted because I could hear the Windows load jingle through my speakers but nothing...

My trusty old 5570 just died. Looking for the same or better. Needs to be single slot cooler as well as bracket and use only the pci slot power. Shipping will be to Hawaii, so local to Oahu or able to figure out how small flat rate boxes work is a plus. Let me know what you have! Heat is under...

So I bought a Cosair SP2500 speaker set about 2.5 years ago, and just recently one of the two speakers died completely, and the other one hisses pretty bad. Anyone have any suggestions? The warranty is 2 years according to their site, so am I just SOL? Or is there any chance I might be able to...

hey all, i live in hawaii and no one here games. at least not anyone i know. is anyone on the west coast, or better, in hawaii up for some multiplayer or coop gaming? i really want to play orcs must die and omd2. i have a ton of games and play pretty much anything except the big games (dota, cs...

i use an xbox controller to play most of my single player pc games so I can play from my bed, but lately I've been getting a really weird issue. I first encountered it in the star citizen hanger module and now it just popped up out of nowhere in metro 2033. like literally after an hour of...

hey guys, techincally minded here but know very little, so probably an easy solution that i just dont know how to solve. quick google didnt help either. so my modem/router (combo unit from comcast) is in the very back of my house because that's where the cable wire comes in. i have an...

I'm looking for one that is ridiculously thin and light with an i3 or i5 in the tablet part and an HD4000 or so, and then in the detachable keyboard dock part it has extra battery and a dedicated gpu (not necessarily a high-end gaming one, just better than integrated). is there anything like...

bought the 2-pack just now. someone must want the complete version for $5. PM me if you want it. paypal only. i have heatware under ekuest.

im not looking to pay a ton for a huge bundle, just looking to get in the game. Want: console with all cables and at least 1 controller (prefer 2) dont care about manuals and such scratches or other COSMETIC issues ok no hdd or broken hdd ok not interested in paying a bunch for games...

Mods feel free to move if these threads belong in General Hardware or something. So I have been waiting for Haswell to come out before I replace my aging core2solo 14" laptop that I got for $200 about 4 years ago. It is ridiculously slow with anything past web browsing and AoE2. :) I got an...

for anyone who doesnt know yet, there is a good deal on a 5-bay qnap nas here. i am trying to decide whether i should stick with my plan to build my own box in the next few months, or just go with this. i love the features, but am put off by the price. a DIY box will of course be much cheaper...

i have a kozuti here, but id like to go even shorter if possible. i only need to cool an i3 (currently a 2100 which is 65W TDP.) the kozuti is 40mm tall, and i've seen some shorter heat sinks that are as short as 24 or 25mm. i would like it to be silent at idle, and ramp up as needed (but still...

she will be using it for email/school/netflix, etc. the normal average computer user usage, nothing fancy. she wants an i5, and i tend to agree with her just for future proofing. she hasnt had a nice laptop in a while. an i3 would also probably do the trick just fine for a little less, but shes...

I've been building computers for many years, but never played with networking and security before. I am aware of proxies and VPNs but never used them before. I would like to avoid a paid subscription service like a VPN because I don't like monthly fees and I'm not entirely sure I want to send...

Got some things for sale here. If a prices is high it's because there is nothing good to compare it to on google shopping so I will adjust the price later to be around completed listings on ebay for the same item. The heat sinks are all in like new condition, and the phones are all tested...

"gaming" in sig. i had this happen before for a couple restarts but i took out the CMOS battery and put it back in and it started again. then i only put it to sleep and never turned it off for a long time. yesterday i got a new surge protector and had to turn it off since i was unplugging the...

hey guys, i need a recommendation for the cheapest PSU i can get shipped to hawaii that will support this rig. it will not be expanded except maybe another HDD. a PSU calculator gave me 218W min, 267W recommended. the CPU is an E6750 and the GPU is a 9600GSO. i can buy from amazon for free...

Looking for cheapest possible shipped to Hawaii (or prefer a local deal for anyone on Oahu.) Need to replace a super terrible 240W psu in a friend's compaq. please offer below, my inbox is getting cluttered. i have heat under ekuest.

he doesnt need much, probably looking to spend $50-100. a core2duo/phenom ii x2 up to an i3 or so is probably the range we are looking for. most important thing is going to be VALUE, or performance/price, not raw power. motherboard will need integrated graphics unless you make an offer with a...

i bought this 16gb htc flyer 7" tablet 3/27/12. i have used it very little and finally decided to just sell it. it has probably been used a total of about 5 hours if that. the battery has only been charged a handful of times so it should be in good shape. i got the 2 year warranty on it for up...

i have a 3TB drive almost full of tv shows, and it is painfully slow sometimes. once i use it its fine, navigation doesnt hang up just browsing. but if i leave it for about 30 seconds or so then try to double click a folder, it doesnt respond for a good 5 seconds or more. at first i assumed that...

i just upgraded the 2x2GB in my GA-H67n-USB3 to a 2x4GB set i had lying around. when i started it, it just power cycled endlessly so i replaced the 2x2GB set i had and it works fine still. then to trouble shoot i found that it works with a 4GB dimm in either slot, a 2GB dimm in either slot, or...

i think raid 5 and 6 do this? i am not an idiot, but i dont understand how you can have an array with like 10 drives and just 2 of those are for redundancy. does it sense when a drive is dying and write all the data before it popos out? im getting to the point where id like to build a dedicated...

my gf just moved in and she has a mac, OSX 10.6.8 i think it was. when i go to "network" nothing comes up. when i go to "connect to server" and type smb:// and then the server's ip address, it says "see administrator" and doesnt connect. i have never used a mac and have no idea what to do. it is...

so i just set up my cooling how it's gonna be in my new rig. right now i have it set up: HD5870 rad>scythe AP15>i7 860 rad>scythe AP15 whatever i end up with, i want to get it right since the case im building with this cooling system will hopefully last me for many builds to come. i...

i will be cooling an undervolted, stock clocked i7 860 to start, and will probably upgrade to an i5 or i7 or equivalent at the next intel gen release. i want something that can cool my cpu adequately (~60 or 70 degrees, dont need to see 30 degrees here) during gaming. prime95 and such are good...
