I bought some more Raspberry Pi's to replace a few of my Linux servers with. Mainly for power and space reasons. I have been looking for a trimed down OS like Ubuntu Server but it seems the port doesn't work on the B+ model. Any suggestions for what to use?

So I got a free i7 7700. I have the rest of the parts laying around, but I need a motherboard. Four ram slots and M.2 would be nice to have. I haven't built a machine in a long time so not sure what to get anymore.

Title says it all. I bought a new 9.7in iPad non-pro version. Going to be doing data entry so a keyboard would be awesome without lugging around a separate one.

I bought this card earlier in the week and it has been having some strange issues. When I open up Word or Excel and start typing I get serious input lag. I can type a full sentence in some cases before the text appears on the screen. Same with Excel, I can change a cell and hit enter to go to...

So I have some older machines laying around (i5's, Athlon II's and the likes) was thinking of something to do with them. I was wondering if it would be possible, and even worth it, to build a Linux cluster and run VM's on the cluster. Sure I could just install VM ware on each individual physical...

So I decided to mess with Burst since I have some spare HDD's laying around and I managed to plot the drives. I had to shut down due to electrical work in the neighborhood and now I can't log back into the AIO client. Just gives me an error about unable to connect. I have no ports block and I...

So I had someone give me a Macbook that has a busted screen. Just get bands of magenta lines. It does boot and using an external monitor I can see the login screen. Is there a good place to find replacement screens for these things? I have done some searching and most are around $300. $100 I...

I am playing around with Access to create a database for keeping track of some various collections I have. I have created the tables that I need and now I am trying to group tables together for the front end. I'm not exactly sure how to do this or if I am looking in the right place or what to...

I have an older machine I am running for my Plex sever. It is a Core i5 650 with 8 Gig of ram running Ubuntu Server. I can play back 1080 video just fine to my Roku boxes, one is an Ultra and the other is a 4K. I know the Roku isn't the issue as they are the current higher end models. Is the CPU...

I am wanting to add a 29in UW monitor to my setup and I already have 2 Samsung 24in curved displays that I want to put on the sides. I can't find a triple monitor mount that says it will be wide enough to support this config. Anyone else using something like this?

I have 2 Samsung 24in curved monitors right now and I want to put an ultrawide in the middle. Question is, what size so they somewhat line up. Mainly for looks than anything.

I am thinking about getting either the Logitech G13 or the Razer Tartarus Chroma for gaming / CAD use. I've never used one before and there aren't any stores within 100 miles of me that carry either of them, so trying before I buy isn't exactly an option. Any suggestions or thoughts on these?

So I have an older I7 2600s CPU and I am looking to upgrade the old GT620 that just can't play very many games. I really don't play many but I do want to play Fallout 4 that I picked up on the cheap last week. What would be a good pair for this CPU? I'm not really looking to build a new PC right...

Is there a way to tell the OS what I have connected? I have unpaired and repaired but it always shows up as a keyboard and doesn't detect that there is audio associated with it. The headphones do have a mic so there is an input device component to the headphones. They are generic no name...

I am making some changes to the way file management is done and wanting to automate as much of it as I can. Does anyone have suggestions for software that will monitor a folder, or run on a schedule that will examine the files and move them to a different folder based on rules? Windows apps...

I'm getting ready to build a new media server for the house and looking to put in 4x 2tb HDD's in a RAID 5. I'm using Plex to stream to the Roku's in the house. Normally there is only going to be one stream going at a time. I know the controller will support the drives, but will it be fast...

My wireless card is having some issues and I am looking for a newer one to replace it with. Any recommendations on a card that works well? I was looking at the Intel AC 7260.

So I bought a new mechanical keyboard. I went with the Ducky MK2016 and I love the keyboard for typing. Recently I have been playing some older FPS games, mainly UT2K4 and Serious Sam. When I'm moving forward or backward it becomes jumpy or almost like its a double tap, yet I'm just holding down...

Right now I am using a Razer Pro Type keyboard and although she has served me well over the years it is time to replace. What I am looking for. Mechanical keyboard with either red or blue switches, no lights and a standard layout, no funky enter key, numpad is a must as I work in Excel quite...

I found a 32GB WD Raptor HDD in my storage the other day and figured I would try to use it in a Linux box for the garage. However, the OS, Ubuntu in this case, I have also tried Mint and a few others, they see that the hdd has space available to use, but when I get to the point of installing I...

I'm building a mitx AMD box with an Athlon 5350 FM1 CPU. The case I am using will need a PicoPSU but this is new territory for me. So I'm looking for some suggestions on which one to get. The CPU is 25 watt. Any suggestions?

I've been away from the forums for a while and it seems that modding isn't quite as popular as it once was. Few years ago there were pages of ongoing threads in the work log section. Now it's just a few new ones.

I am trying to find somewhere online to get plexi or lexan sheets. I have found a few places but they seem to be more for the industrial use. I don't need a sheet that is 8ft x 10ft. That is a tad too much for what I want to start working on. Any suggestions?

So looking around the internet I am trying to find a good place to get keyboard trays from. I like this one http://www.techforless.com/cgi-bin/tech4less/KCS69575?id=HQoi3TDA&mv_pc=331. However I do not like the price. I checked Monoprice hoping they had a something but alas they have nothing. So...

Well my poor 8800GT is finally starting to go out with me. It is having memory issues and is out of warranty. So I need a new card. I am not really loyal to either brand so I am looking for what will get me the best graphics for the money. Here is my setup: C2D E6750 4 Gigs DDR2 320...

I was wondering if anyone had ordered anything from them before? I was looking at one of the 650i boards for $50 and wasn't sure if you got the backplate for the board or not. Don't really want to order one if I don't get that. Thanks in advance.

I bought an 8800GT that is awesome. Except that it is loud and I want to put a new fan on the card. I was on XFX site reading up on the warranty and they say that they are modder friendly. Just how friendly are they? I know with eVGA they don't care what you do as long as you keep the original...

I recently purchased a 360 and I wanted to use it for playing videos across the network. I can see the 3 different PC's in the house and my music will stream without an issue. Movies on the other hand are a different story. One machine I can see the videos and when I try to play it just says it...

I have a new iPod Classic 80 gig and I am of course using iTunes now. My problem is this, I have compilation discs such as soundtracks and things of the sorts. How do I make them all appear as one album in coverflow? I can't find any option anywhere. This is on Windows as well, just in case...

I am looking for a case for my new 80 Gig Classic since I have had it less than a week and the back already has scratches on it. I found something called ifrogz that I like the look of, but wanted to ask if anyone had ever used them before I threw down $30 on a sight unseen. Site is here...

So I went out and bought me a new shiny Acer 22" LCD, I still have a working 19" Viewsonic panel that I wanted to use as a second monitor. I can't seem to get the resolution to be correct on both monitors. I did this years ago with different monitors, and different cards but it seems the issue...

My motherboard just died...... I am going to RMA, but I would like to find a new one that supports both my P4 630 and the C2D. I will be upgrading the processor later on. I am looking for SLI support as well. I have looked around and a few of the 680i boards say P4 support, but none of them...

I am trying to get City of Heroes running under Wine. This is the last program I need to get away from Windows and it just isn't wanting to run. I can install without issue, but when I go to play I accept the agreement and all that, then the blue bar comes up, stays for a sec as usual, then the...

O.k. so I am waiting on student loans to come in and I am trying to find a notebook that meets everything I want. This is proving to be a real pain. I wish I could just build my own (that didn't suck) I want a Core Duo, don't really care about speed, 100 Gig hard drive, I can live with an 80...
