I enjoy the flexibility of a desktop rather than a dedicated device. WMC and XBMC are awesome, then i just bring up hulu in a webbrowser, as i dont really care for hulu desktop. WMC basically just handles my OTA programming, and sometimes netflix. XBMC takes care of the rest of my media needs.

I threw together a system with a crap Logisys power supply, and it randomly rebooted. I monitored everything, it all seemed good. Checked the windows log and the only thing mentioned was power interruppted unexpectedly. Swapped PSU's and the problem was gone. Bad part was that some damage was...

I recently upgraded from a 8800gts, I should have went with the HD7700 but at the last second bought a Evga 550ti it was 99 after MIR seems like a good card.

Anyone have a working 939 motherboard? is anyone intersted in bad hard drives i have a 500gb wd doest seem to work at all, and a 320gb wd that works sometimes. If someone coudl get some use out of them price is what I'd want.

whats someone going to do with my online bank account information? check my balance? scary stuff. Ok enough of that, sometimes i run av somtimes i forget, I've been infected several times with different crap. I'm pretty careful i know what links not to click, heh for a while everytime i went...

Got some bad caps on my motherboard and am hoping to find a replacement for it. I would also be interested in other boards that OC decently and have 4 dimm slots. Would like to stay with the asrock dual sata 2 though. Let me know what you got wanting to spend around $20, but may spend a...

project-x?

I currently have a 8800gts so it would be a tremendous upgrade

while its true tuner sensitivity or whatever you want to call it will very sometimes greatly. Its really hard to say for sure. I think antennaweb.org can offer at least a little guidance for what type of antenna is needed for your area. I tried 2 different in door antenna, and even made a...

are vista and 7 better yes, is there anything wrong with windows xp no. I have 2 older computers that could run vista/7 but honestly they work just fine with windows xp. If its not broke don't fix it. They make these really cool antivirus programs that are constantly updated to assist with...

Realistically its possible, but you may not like the outcome my most recent build cost about $115 Picked up a 6000+ x2 am2 CPU, motherboard, and 2gb ddr for $40 on eBay (i was looking for a CPU and did an impulse bid didn't think I'd win the auction) Picked up another 2gb stick of ddr2 on eBay...

Honestly the combo doesn't look bad, the only thing i would be hesitant about is the motherboard. You could make the case work. If it wasn't for the motherboard i wouldn't hesitate to buy it and throw in a better, psu, ssd, and video card.

I use Hulu and netflix. They seem to offer a good variety of content if your not afraid to try new things. I think they are both worth the monthly subscription cost. Use an antenna for the OTA programming. have 2 cheapo ati650 tuner cards, and use windows media center. I really don't feel...

Sure laptops might fit some peoples needs, unfortunately I am not and don't think I will ever be one of those people. I prefer a full size keyboard and a mouse. Yeah i know i could hook these items up to a laptop, but why would i want to do that when i can get twice as much power out of a...

I do because i usually have a certain goail in mind for total price, normally around $150.

I hacksaw blade can work great for cutting a slot to use a flatscrewdriver, on a screw with a stripped Phillips head. Have done it many times.

I dug about one and half shovel head deep took less than hour to cover 33'. I used 1" pvc pipe figured it would be easier to pull through than 3/4". I brought it into the gargage through the siding, didnt really see much of a reason to drill into the concrete. I came ouf the house through...

I don't have a lot of experience with powerline adapters, i considered it for my setup. The only thing that worried me is my garage has its own dedicated 100 amp box separate from the breaker box in the house, would this type of adapter still work?

I ran an E2000 with ddwrt firmware in my garage, and wrt54g (i know i need to upgrade) in my house as my main router. The e2000 is setup in repeater bridge mode. The routers are about 60' apart and it works flawlessly. I really couldn't believe that it worked so well and stayed working...

geforce 4 mx420 geforce 4 ti4200 geforce 4 ti4600 ati 9800 pro 128mb 7900gs 8800gts(320mb) purchased and moved the 7900gs to my secondary system. Still running both cards today.

2nd doritos crash course, and it should be free

honestly can't speak for newer items but ive been running the dual sata 2 939 board for atleast 7 years with no problems.

Seems like a lot of states require a use tax http://www.ecommerce-blog.org/archives/the-myth-of-tax-free-internet-sales/ So really whats the big deal about amazon starting to tax purchases in other states, it seems like the honest tax abiding citizen is committing tax fraud if they aren't...

Seems silly your supposed to track and pay 6.5% tax on any out of state purchase . They give you the option of paying a flat fee. I just pay the flat fee, i really have no want or desire to track all of my purchases. Not to mention I have friends/family members coming to me all of the time to...

well IL already expects you to pay taxes on any online purchase through its IL "use" tax.

Not nothing any better I bought a generic charger once, screwed up the power jack so i had so solder a new one in, Never again. The chord fit just fine, but it some how ruined the power jack so it no longer made contact

If you don't think its fixable sell it on ebay for parts, I bet you'll at least break even.

This is to the best of my knowledge without really thinking about it: 486 dx2 66mhz Pentium MMX 233mhz amd k62 366mhz @ 400mhz AMD Duron 950mhz @ 1ghz AMD Duron 1.3ghz @ 1.5GHZ (pretty sure this is the processor where i had use a pencil to reconnect the traces to unlock it) Athlon XP mobile @...

I was wondering the same thing. that's super shady and really defeats the purpose of heatware

there have been some areas of the country without power for over a week recently. I suppose if he is in one of those areas its possible.

These are the chances you take when you buy a used item. I wouldn't refund anything. You never know what happened to the unit while it was in his possession This kind of thing is why i hate trying to sell used stuff to people. Sucks to let stuff sit and collect dust and depreciate in value...

kindle fire. I got my fiancee one, and she pretty much does all that stuff on it daily. Granted i got it when it was 199 with free $50 walmart card. There might be better $200 options out there

tin snips should do it, but if not a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a cut off wheel would be awesome. Also I'm all for cheap tools, but cheap tin snips suck so get a decent set and it should be fine. Should mention if you have a harbor freight in the area you could pickup an angle grinder and...

i recently switched from vista to windows 7, honestly i don't really see any benefit from it. Sure its cleaned up a little bit but am i missing something? What made vista so bad? And I'm actually typing this on windows xp because well it still works, and i don't feel like buying multiple...

I'd just go into the control panel and remove what you do not want. no need to install more junk to get rid of other unwanted junk.

http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online%20Store/Minutes/55%20Plan%20Card.aspx With that plan you could get 2gb of date per line and only pay $110 a month. Just search on google to make sure your phones would work. From what i read its 100% on the verizon network.

As a verizon user i Pay about $98 for 2 lines with 700 minutes, no data, 250 text messages on one line and 500 text messages on the other. I'm switching to page plus as soon as my contracts up. I can get more than I'm getting now for $50 a month. Verizon is the only thing that works where i...
