Looking to buy an Ipod Nano, not too particular on the generation. Thanks!

I have an Acer XV273k monitor with HDR-400. Do I need to set "Use HDR" in Windows display settings as well as turning on HDR on my monitor settings to make everything work the way it should? Or is it enough to simply turn it on in the monitor? If I only set it in Windows, everything is...

I was surprised that Best Buy was selling AMD 3950x CPU's, they had a good deal with Borderlands 3 and The Outerworlds keys bundled. I'd rather give a brick and mortar the business than Amazon so I bit. The first package looked like it was kicked down a few flights of stairs - see pic. I...

My motherboard, Gigabit x570 Aorus Pro Wifi, has the following 12v ports: My PSU, Seasonic PRIME Ultra 850W 80+ Titanium, has two of these 4x4 12v connectors. The questionable part is that on one of the four, has all rounded pins (see my mspaint skills, the red pins are rounded). Now...

Happy new year! I'm starting the year off right, building my first rig since my Intel 2700k I've been banging on for a while now. I'm building an AMD 3900x, Gigabyte x570 Aorus pro wifi, Gigabyte Aorus NVMe Gen4 1TB, 2x16GB RAM, reusing PSU and GTX 1080 TI GPU. I have plenty of case fans of...

Looking to pick up a reasonably priced IP-KVM, usb keyboard mouse.

Is there any way to disable hyperthreading in windows 10 outside of the BIOS? I have this HP laptop that I spent a good chunk of change on and the BIOS doesn't let you configure a damn thing. HP hasn't provided any BIOS updates regarding the numerous sidechannel attacks.

My Dad has managed to kill 4 laptops, 3 cheapo's that he purchased and one of my old stalwart Dell laptop that I gave him. They all had similar symptoms - failing to power on, blinking keyboard, nothing on the screen, beeps when trying to boot. Two of which he sent back under warranty and from...

So I'm sitting at my desk and suddenly my screens go black, start hearing some soft popping sounds coming from my rig. Start smelling burning electronics. I unplugged everything, took off the cover and couldn't visibly see anything burnt up. So, I plugged 'er back in and immediately saw a...

I just performed a clean install, went about installing drivers, chipset, network, Intel HD 3000, then Catalyst 13.12 drivers. After installing the AMD drivers, I get a blue screen at reboot - irql not less or equal. Rolled back, downloaded new copies, retried with no success. Finally, I...

What's the best way to go about using a power supply for hard drives only? Can I use the paper clip trick - green and black wire connected? Then, just put some electrical tape around the whole thing?

I've got a frustrating problem here. I put together a new system, 2600k, cheap Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3 mobo, Radeon HD 6870, 4x4 GB of RAM, 1TB drive and 64GB SSD, reused Corsair 620w PSU. Right off the bat, my wireless NIC was getting about 15% packet loss pinging google.com. I know my network...

I just purchased an Intel Centrino N 6300 wireless N card for my laptop. Like a dummy, I didn't look into the form factor all that much. Turns out my laptop has full height mini PCI-e slots and the wireless card is a half height mini PCI-e card. Can I just glue the damn thing in place...

I decided to wipe off the default thermal goo on my 6870 and put some arctic silver on there. Of course, I forgot to check what temps I was getting before hand but I'm thinking it was low 40's at least. Now, I'm idling at 52 C which seems pretty high. I would have remembered if I was idling...

SOLD! Thanks Max! Selling for 50 shipped or best offer. I'm in Minneapolis area, otherwise. I have had this board for about 2 1/2 years now and has never given me a problem. Great performance up until this point, now I have a 24" monitor and it just isn't cutting it anymore so I'm upgrading...

I'm running a samba file server (FreeBSD) on a crappy Dell GX260 that my work was throwing out. Today, it looks like the box powered itself down and I can't figure out why. It booted up fine though... I'm looking to build a simple, reliable backup server with a mirrored array. Performance...

I'm looking for a reliable retailer to replace a Dell Vostro 1510 LCD for my sister. It's a little over a month out of warranty, doh! Dell quotes a replacement at 178 after shipping and tax which is pretty steep. Makes me wish I would've bought two of the Acer $250 laptops from Best Buy a...

Sorry for the long read, hopefully somebody can help me! I've been having problems with my new build and I can't figure out what's wrong. I had been getting random reboots in Windows with no blue screen when the machine was sitting idle. It passed prime95 and ran UT3 fine which is odd...

I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations on a very easy to use external drive for my sister. I will not be able to set anything up for her and well, she isn't all too sharp when it comes to computers ;) It doesn't need to have large capacity (100gb is more than enough), should be...

Just saw this at the Micro Center in Minneapolis but it's still listed at $449 on their website: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0281494 Now that I've shared, will someone please tell me how the driver support for these cards on Linux is? I've heard only...

So I finally graduated college, got a job, and am no longer broke :D. I'm looking at putting my old machine to rest but I have no clue how big of a power supply this machine will need. Any help would be great. Here is what I'm looking at so far: EVGA 780i mobo, 2x GeForce 8800 gts 512mb...

I currently have the newest catalyst drivers and catalyst control center installed. I don't do much gaming at all anymore as my computer is obviously outdated now but mainly because I just don't have the time for it. Anyways, I'm looking for ways to speed up my computer in the desktop...

I know this isn't a typical power supply question, but it seems to fit in here best. I just got home for x-mas break and I've realized that I forgot the power plug-in for my router, no router, no internet on my computer. Anyways, on the back of the router it shows for the plug in, 12vdc...

Does anyone know of where I could find a cheap VCR player, so far from where I've been looking I think it's ridiculous that you can find DVD players for cheaper. And the only reason I need a VCR is because I go to school 5 hours away from home, I have no VCR up at school, and I have this...

I haven't read much about HL2 as I never really was a big fan of the first and CS. But I'm just wondering quick if it even worth my time to look into because w/ my current rig, doom3 was not even fun to play because it was too choppy for me. And I don't have the cash to upgrade right now...

Well, now that I have 6 case fans and a fairly loud HSF, after a couple years of this loud beast I'm trying to quite it down a little bit. I was looking at some water cooling solutions, and I came across this dual heatpipe noiseless cooler from zalmann at newegg. I remember seeing this...

I have two hard drives one is 40gb ata100 and another 120gb ata100 connected to the IDE ports right now. I just got a pci promise ata100 controller card and another 120gb ata100 hard drive. I want to install a dual boot win xp and linux. Should I connect the operating system hard drive to the...

I am purchasing a new hard drive and I want to create a dual boot win xp and linux on. Should I install win xp on it first or linux? Basically, what steps do I need to take to do this. Thanks in advance

I was just wondering what the difference between ATA100 and ATA133 is and if it would make that big of a difference when purchasing a new drive. Thanks in advance.

I don't really understand all of the details behind the different types of RAID and what exactly each type does. I'm running out of hard drive space, I have one 40 gb hard drive w/ just various files on it and another (120) with win xp installed. I want to get another hard drive so I can put...
