Hi, I've recently built a system with the following specs: AMD 5700x w/ Noctua D15S Asus ROG Strix B550-F Gaming 32gb G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 Gigabyte RTX4080 Corsair RM850x 1TB Samsung 970 evo plus m.2 2TB WD350 m.2 Fractal Torrent Everything seems a-ok in Windows, but almost immediately as I...

Ryzen 5 5600X Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus G.Skill Ripjaws 32gb 3200 AMD 6800 XT (reviews/availability pending, could be 3080) Fractal Design Define 7 Corsair RM850x WD SN750 1TB Noctua NH-U14S Thoughts on this? Does it seem reasonably balanced? Gaming performance is all I'm worried about so it's...

I've got a pair of JBL 305p mkIIs currently connected to a Fiio D3 and into the computer with spdif. Is there any audible benefit to upgrading the Fiio to something like a Schiit Magni/Modi stack? The volume knob and accessible headphone jack are nice but not worth the expense to me if there's...

I submit my planned build to the [H]orde for analysis and critique! I do not build frequently, nor do I usually perform upgrades, so please consider future-proofing to an extent with some choices. The machine is primarily for games, I don't get into any kind of video editing type activities...

I've been using this 2405 since they first launched, and I'm just about ready to purchase a new system (waiting on GTX280). I'm just curious, is it really worth upgrading to a more modern 24"? Would the benefits be particularly noticeable? I'm out of the loop on LCDs lately, but it doesn't...

I've got random gibberish on my screen when I turn my computer on. Everything pre-Windows is still working fine though (BIOS, Safe Mode prompt etc.) in the sense that I can use it, still looks ridiculous. I can get Windows to load in Safe Mode (although I can barely see what's happening on my...

Fixed. This thread can be deleted.

This is not a new build, but rather a system that's been working with no problems since Sept. 2004. The specs are listed below. Yesterday my computer began randomly locking up, and today it will not get past the POST screen before locking up completely. I've swapped in/out and tested every...

Simple array, int[ ] anArray = new int[ 5 ]; anArray[ 0 ] = 1; Just the creation of the array is fine, but the 2nd line is giving me: C:\Program Files\Xinox Software\JCreatorV3LE\MyProjects\Projectile\src\pm.java:227: ']' expected anArray[0] = 1...

First time applet writer, doing a little exercise for class. The url is http://www.accesswave.ca/~aylard/temp/pm.html What should be visible in the upper panel is 5 numbers I have up for testing, and a simple elipse fired with simple projectile motion. The issue on my end, with Firefox...

I'm new to Illustrator :o Say I have curved text in one Illustrator file, curved around an ellipse. How can I copy the text with the exact same guide and drop it into another image?

Just out of curiosity, why would an LCD-TV come with a native resolution of 1366x768, if the 720p standard is 1280x720? Thanks!

I'm almost ashamed to ask it haha. If I get a coaxial splitter and split the cable currently going to my cable modem, can I run one end to the modem, and the other end into a TV-tuner? If so, will it effect speed of the internet?

Seems to me like they should be lasting longer than they are :\ I have them sitting next to my cable modem, on top of my desk, behind my monitor. There's a good 2 feet between the back of the monitor and the wall, so there's lots of circulation. The back of the computer faces them, but it's...

My internet connection has been really sketch lately, but I'm having trouble nailing down the exact source. Is there any kind of software out there that can be used to perform a diagnostic on these devices?

Ideally, I'd like to watch HDTV broadcasts through my local Digital Cable on my 2405fpw. This means using a Motorola DCT-6200 cable box. Is it possible to connect this box to the 2405, and have the full range of channels available? What kind of scaling issues would this present using...

I have 2 computers, one wired into a router, one connects wirelessly. Both are running WindowsXP Pro. I right click on a folder and select 'Sharing and Security' and then check 'Share this folder on the network'. When I go to My Network Places on the other computer, that folder shows up, but...

I'm running out of ways to keep my stupid video card cool, and I'm tired of having to play games with the side of my computer case off :\ Is there any kind of mounting mechanism for sale such that I can position a 120mm fan using the optical drive cage? Thanks!

My BFG 6800GT OC has been having a problem with overheating while playing WoW, causing my whole computer to crash. What are normal temperatures for these cards, and what can I do to maybe clock it down to normal 6800GT speed?

Just curious if this would present any problems. I have an MSI K8N Neo2 Plat with 2x512 Crucial Ballistix currently, would I be able to add 2x512 Kingston HyperX in the other two banks without problems?

Quick question, assuming they are both the 802.11g standard, what is it about these 'Xtreme' routers that enables them to achieve 108mbps? Thanks!

A stick of ram of mine has broken, and I'm finding it makes a really big difference playing WoW when I have Winamp on. Just wondering until I can get this RMA'd, are there any more efficient mp3 players I can use?

Did a search, didn't turn much up. I'm preferably looking for a lapel mic so that it moves around with me. This is strictly for TeamSpeak. Budget less than $50 I suppose, though I can't imagine any normal ones cost near that much. Thanks! :)

I'm just getting my feet wet with this stuff and I've run into a problem. I'm using an external javascript file to run Zeller's algorithm on a date in order to build a calandar. A form is used to pass date info to the script. Within the script file, I'm familiar with document.write(), but I can...

By these I mean Viewsonic WMA100, Netgear MP115, DLink DSM-320 etc. The reviews seem to be few and far between, and none overwhelmingly in favour. I'm just wondering if there is one I've missed that is really good. I'm mainly interested in ones with optical audio out, component video out and...

Hi. Very basic question, since I'm not super familiar with Unix/apache. I'm compiling in a temp directory (/xx/tmp/name/). Ultimately I want to install it to /xx/~name/bin/thedir/). When I configure, what do I need to enter for a prefix? --prefix=~name/bin/thedir/?

I'm looking to do a fairly equal mix of slides, film and regular pictures. Image quality is more important than speed, within reason. Thanks =)

I'd like to represent binary numbers and perform some arithmetic on them. These numbers aren't necessarily huge, but they're large enough (say, 11010110000) that int/long won't hold them. I could use a string, but then how would I do the arithmetic on them? Is there some kind of specific...

Just curious. I'd like to leave them on at night, but the stupid thing illuminates my whole room (I need dark dark dark)!

I am thinking of using maps <string, int> or <string, double> to track values associated with a string key. Is it possible to do a map insert such that the value passed for the int/double portion adds a given number to the existing number in the map?

I'm having difficulty thinking of query statements for questions D and G here: http://www.cs.dal.ca/~farrag/3140/2004A.a3.html I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction as to how I should be solving these ones. Thanks! :)

Sorry if this is a repost, search didn't turn up anything. Just wondering, what are the estimates you guys have before the double layer discs are really affordable (ie a buck a disc)? How long did it take the single layer discs to get that cheap? And lastly, are double layer +R discs the...

I'm reading in lines from the keyboard (redirected to a file input.dat) and I need to seperate sections from each line that occur between simple delimiters () [] <>. Is strtok what I should be using to pull information from each line, or is there something better for C++?

That is, if you named them :) Phoenix: Desktop in sig Osiris: 1.333Tbird, 512MB PC2100, 64mb GeForce3 Tau: Laptop in sig

I'm trying to connect the IDE cable that came with my K8N Neo2 to the IDE1 slot, and it simply will not go all the way in! It's facing the right way. Am I missing something here?

The fan in the rear of the Lian Li PC-V1000b has a 3pin connection. Now, since it's 120mm it has been recommended to me to not connect it to any of the headers on the motherboard. So the question is, how do I connect it?

Hi, If I'm passing an array to a constructor, and it is using an initialization list to copy the value ie: theClass::theClass(double *x, double *y, int z) : xarray(x), yarray(y), size(z) { } Is that actually copying the whole array, or just a pointer reference?

Does the cardboard stuff on the backplate come off (ie is it covering a sticky side), or do I leave it on? /n00b

Like the title says, is there software available that can transform an image such as a jpg into a Vector file suitable for large format printing?
