This is one of the strangest things I've experienced. I just finished wiring my gigabit network. It's important to note that I DO NOT know what the cables look like inside the wall; I did not run them myself and only terminated the wall plates and patch cables. Network looks like this, all...

The opaque greyness of all the windows and menu bars in OS X feels very dated to me compared to Windows 7's Aero transparency. Is there a way to adjust the transparecy of such UI elements?

Not looking to ship this right now. Pretty much perfect condition Samsung Syncmaster 245BW. No dead pixels or anything. Selling to upgrade to a high end Dell IPS unit for photography. This is a great monitor for gaming and such, but I really need the ability to calibrate the colors with my...

This is fucking ridiculous. I've been loving my Macbook air since I made the switch, but all that bullshit you hear about media editing being easy is completely made up. All I want to do is rip six or seven DVD's of concert performances to the hard drive, cut one or two pieces from each...

These are the finest widely commercially available shoes in the United States. Made by Crockett and Jones or Alfred Sargent in England to hand grade standards, they are just absolutely awesome shoes. These are the cheapest you will find them until next Christmas period. At checkout, today and...

Back in 2006, I was still in high school and living with my parents. When we moved to our new house, I made a deal with my father - I got shafted with a really small bedroom (my sisters wanted the big ones), but he would finish the basement with me and make it into a hangout area with my...

:D Should go nicely with the JVC RS45 projector on order. I'm pumped, been wanting to do this for years.

I posted earlier about moving into my new place, which has cat5 runs to every room for RJ11. I don't use home phone and would like to turn it into a wired LAN. I live in a 4 unit condo building, all of the wires terminate in the garage. Today I had my fioptics (cincinnati bell 50mbps fiber...

Selling this killer Macro lens to help pay for a new sofa for my condo. I don't really take much macros so this is the casualty of my small collection :p The lens is in great condition and comes with both lens caps. No scratches or anything. Shipping will be via USPS priority mail...

Sold!

I just moved into a condo, and literally every single room is wired with a phone jack. Since the place was remodeled in 2004 and is fairly nice, on a hunch I took off a jack to check the cable jacket and sure enough it's cat5e. I'm aware that I can switch out these phone jacks for ethernet...

I just finally got my 9260-8i set up with 5 Samsung 2TB HD204UI drives in Raid 6. My writes seem decent at 319mb/s, but I'm only getting 148.9mb/s read. This is like single disk performance! I expected to be getting significantly more. IS this normal or is there something wrong with my...

Last night I started the process of adding a 2TB drive to my RAID 6 array that already had 4 2TB drives in it. It's been going for about 16 hours now, which has be a bit concerned. Especially because I have no way to monitor progress since I'm doing it from the Windows gui. I thought...

I'm looking to get a hardware raid card for my WHS to move away from Windows Raid 5. Even though I'll be bottlenecked by gig-e (I'm reading at 160mb/s and writing at 100 with windows raid), the added features like expansion, alarms, and reliability are worth it to me for just $250-300. In the...

Hi, I have a couple of quick questions regarding bridging two fios connections. In my new place (which will be wired up with an overkill of Cat6 to each room, among other things) a 50/10 fios connection is $99 a month, while a 30/10 is $59. There is no option for higher upload speeds...

I'm looking to move to a board that supports ECC memory, so this is up for sale. Comes with IO shield and PROBABLY retail box and accessories (have to stop by my storage unit and make sure). Been using this in my WHS for a while, so it's in great condition and less than a year old. Asking...

I'm running WHS 2011 with multiple PC's and macs and am looking for something to sync my music between all of the machines. I use dropbox for documents and my Aperture library, which works fantastically, but I'm not sure what I should use to sync my music folders and subfolders between my WHS...

After having a slightly bad ram module silently corrupt data on my whs over a sevreal month period, I'm buying some good ECC ram and replacing my MSI 880g-e45 with a motherboard that supports ECC. I can't seem to sort by ECC support on Newegg so I'm sort of lost as to which models I should be...

It's my nickname in Bad Company 2 :p Was bored today and stuck in with a cold, playing BC2 all day and dicking around with FRAPS. Decided to take some footage of my AT4 kills. I usually play on Killzone Heavy Metal servers, so feel free to join me later on. So far I mastered hitting any...

Are there any test programs I can run that will tell me if a NIC is bad? I'm using the onboard realtek in my WHS and lately literally everything I copy is ending up slightly corrupted. Not so much that the file won't load or anything, but for example if it's an ISO I'll get weird errors during...

I sold the SSD in it to get a bigger one, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do a fresh install of Lion on it and get rid of my personal data. I can't seem to make a bootable lion cd; anyway to do it without one?

I'm having a pretty weird problem here. My network is as follows: Netgear Wireless Bridge connects to my long term hotel's wifi, and feeds via ethernet into the Internet port of my WNDR4000. WNDR4000 has my Desktop and WHS connected via gigabit, while the HTPC is 450mbps wireless N with an...

Both sold on ebay for $265 a pop.

I've had an ATI card for the last year and a half. I started with a HD 5770 then moved to a 6950 and, trifler 6950's, and now settled on crossfire 6950's. I've had it with the piss-poor drivers and will be moving to NVIDIA as a direct result of constant problems with them. I don't care if...

I have an Asus EEE Pad Transformer for sale. It's just a fantastic tablet but honestly since having my Macbook Air I very rarely use it. I do have the original box and charger. It's in great shape with zero dead pixels or marks on the screen. Always carried it in my protected briefcase...

I was wondering if anyone here had experience creating an online user-interactive marketplace, and what was the best way to go about it. I don't plan on having insane volume, but it's more of a niche thing. I need people to be able to cleanly and easily list their products for sale and...

Moved to a 256gb unit so need to unload this. It's two weeks old, obviously perfect condition. Guarantee against DOA - I have perfect head under computerpro3. This is obviously a blade sad that fits in the 2011 and 2010 models. $200 shipped via usps priority.

Everything worked great for like an hour, finder saw my whs, desktop and htpc. I didn't touch anything, and now it won't work. I tried everything - switching to smb, rebooting everything, etc. Any ideas how to get my WHS to show up again?

The system disks on my WHS are old 400gb hitachi 7200rom drives in raid 1. They are both starting to go, and they are from like 2004 anyway so it's time to replace them. I have a $75 gift card on Amazon that I plan on using for it. My question is, is it better to get a small fast drive like...

This is pretty strange, but it's extremely possible I'm just doing something wrong since I'm new to Mac. I'm trying to edit some footage of the Baltimore Grand Prix. I have a shot of the starting grid roaring by and want to trim it from over 1 minute down to 16 seconds. So, I go ahead and...

What's the most cost effective way to get a minimum of 10 but preferably 15 sata ports? I do NOT need RAID or any type of redundancy - just the capability to hook up between 10 and 16 2TB hard drives. Is that cheap HP expander still the way to go? The OS will be windows.

I constantly use google voice to text and was wondering if there is any useful desktop widget or notification system that would instantly alert me to sms's and allow me to respond. Thanks!

After using Windows a long time, I recently bought a Macbook Air ultimate and decided to give OSX Lion a shot. Now, I'm not experienced with Snow Leopard so keep that in mind - all of my comments reflect lion. That being said, I now understand why people in general say OsX is easier to use...

Hi, I just got a Macbook Air and while I hate to admit it, I kind of like some features of OsX. Due to the battery life I will probably keep it as my primary OS for a while. I will be using iTunes to manage my music and videos, and would really like to seamlessly sync them with my Asus eee...

I just got my first Mac ever with the 11in 1.8ghz 128gb ssd macbook air. I'm really excited - it's exactly what I was looking for in an ultraportable, except that I prefer Windows 7 to OSX. As this is my first Mac, what will I need to do to get Windows 7 running? Is there a way to...
