NE shell shocker $279 for Intel A770 card... https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16814553001

Anyone purchase one of these new cases? It's really hard to find 4 SATA drive cases anymore that are small for a closet NAS. Wondering if the N2 will solve the overheating issues that the N1 had. https://www.jonsbo.com/en/products/N2Black.html

I want to play some older games at 4k 120Hz with medium detail. Currently, my 6600 XT is only getting 74 fps on the best days, and 40 fps on ultra detail. Would upgrading to 6750 XT, specifically the XFX Merc319 be enough of an upgrade? Looking to keep the price under $550, otherwise I would...

Any news on the AMD Ryzen PRO 5000 series CPU market? I saw the release date for retail was Aug 3, 2021, but I'm unable to find anyone in North America that's selling them. Should I try to find a European retailer, or wait for the suppled to come westward?

So, where are all the Fractal Design Define 7 builds? There are dozens of reviews out there (both professional and consumer), but I have yet to see any mods/builds/custom ideas. Anyone care to post pictures of your Define 7 / XL cases?

In the news today, researchers found 33 security vulnerabilities in many different IoT devices, including the beloved Raspberry Pi. Does anyone have details on what exactly are the affected devices/risks...

The new Pi 4 is out... Dual HDMI, USB 3.0, and true gigabit ethernet. Anyone ordering? https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

Happy New Year, everyone! Just went on a short birding trip over the weekend. Here's a pretty Eastern Towhee bird that decided to show himself. Now that I'm looking at the final picture, he kinda reminds me of Angry Birds, the game. :)

I'd like advise on what to get for a swap-out upgrade. We're talking motherboard, CPU, RAM combo. It's been a long time since I knew all the different chipsets out there. Oh, and I'm completely terrified of Intel's Management Engine on-chip. I'd like to kill that thing. Just for a point of...

A new year... a new thread. I vote that we keep the NSFW pics in the separate thread. SFW pics here. I'll start with a couple of favorites from a recent trip in Florida. Tokina 100mm macro lens. I think this is called Beauty Berry: Bok Tower:

Anyone playing/played this game recently? I got to the end of book 3, and I found it addictive. Books 4 & 5 haven't been released yet. PS I'm always cynical about paying for games that haven't been "fully" released yet.... Giving the studio an advance payment with no guarantee they'll...

As best I can tell, there's no way to get North American LTE radios in S5 Mini; only the international version is for sale. Does anyone know if the S5 Mini will ever come out in the USA? SM-G800M? Also, would it be worth waiting for the S6 Mini to come out? I need to get a new phone soon...

I have an EVGA X58 mATX board (121-BL-E756-TR) with all the power i need except CPU. The i7 920 CPU that's in it lacks the AES instruction set, and I could really use the extra instruction set for all the encryption/decryption I do plus batch photo processing. When exporting/transforming...

Buying a SFF PC for living room. :D Opinions on the specs? Purpose? Gaming; Priorities? Balance performance; should be very quiet, cool :cool: when not gaming; Applications? Rocksmith, Torchlight, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, and so on; Have so far? * Western Digital 500 GB...

I am looking for a linux-based photo workflow between RAW file and web/print-service optimized final images. Currently, I'm using a combination of Rawtherapee, GIMP, and Lightroom 3 in a Virtualbox WinXP machine. It mostly works, but it's not efficient. I'd like 1 or 2 linux-native...

I'm trying to get a Sparkle Geforce 450 GT working in my computer. It seems to only work when it's in the top PCIE slot, but I have 2 PCIE 16x slots. I wanted to move it to the 2nd slot for cooling purposes. However when I do, I get repeated screen blanks and Windows saying that the video...

A strange problem has crept up. It's only a little predictable. Whenever I login to GNOME (runlevel 5), there's a chance that my computer will hard lock. Sometimes it's immediately after logging in (desktop is shown); sometimes it's after I start a couple applications. After a few seconds of...

Not sure if this thread would be better here or in for sale forum.... I'm looking to get into insect and small critter photography, and I need a fairly fast macro lens. I would prefer prime. My camera is Nikon D90 (DX format). Any recommendations? (I would try to buy a used lens to save...

Round 2: Post your 12, 16, 24, 32, or 48 GB desktop machines (no servers). What do you do with that much memory? (This is the last poll, I promise.) Previous poll is closed but can be found here.

Ah, the annual fully modular PSU post. :p I have an i7 with GTS 450 and 2 HDD. My UPS says full load <= 300W (idle is 170W). Probably not going to upgrade for a long time (at most, add 2 more HDD down the road). Would I be OK with 560W Seasonic, or should I go for 750W Seasonic? I've...

Just curious what y'all are going to do if the deal goes through.
