    WD 500GB Refurb $95 Shipped

    My "recertified" WD4000KD just died after about a year (solely for media storage duty in a well cooled case), and according to Western Digital support, I'm now the proud owner of a $160 paper weight. They did offer me a special discount and told me I could replace the drive for $120, though...

    Modded XBOX + Extras

    I bought this XBOX pre-modded from a seller on XBOX Scene 2.5 years back and have used it as is ever since. Never an issue. It's just time for me to get rid of it. It's only ever been owned by an OCD adult and would make a great Media Center and/or cheap game machine for someone. Specs...

    Looking for a mini/micro server case

    There are a bunch of sff cases with (2) 5.25" bays and a bunch of mid towers with (3) 5.25" bays (Antec P150 ftw). Are you set on using a 5 in 3 HD cage or do you just need enough space for 5 drives? If the latter, there are plenty of cases to choose from.

    Scratch Built All-in-one Case? Ideas?

    The Gateway uses a standard sized ATI video card connected via a riser card so that it lays parallel to the mobo. The tuner card is connected the same way. That being said, I may use embedded graphics to simplify things.

    Scratch Built All-in-one Case? Ideas?

    Background: I bought a little Gateway all in one pc a couple years back on Craig's List for a few hundred bucks. It's not much, but I've grown to love the little thing. It has everything I could want for a little browsing machine like a card reader, dvd burner, wifi, MCE remote, and a nice...

    High Definition/Lossless Formats?

    I have a relatively large collection (150-160gb) of MP3's that have come from various sources (at various levels of quality) and I've decided to finally bite the bullet and re-build my collection by ripping my own physical media. My initial budget is about $2k for media and I'll build from...

    Need a micro-atx board that boots FAST

    I'm building a high-end car pc, and slow boot times are my biggest concern, by far. I'll be using a core 2 duo mobile cpu in a micro-atx case. And yeah, I'm planning on using XP embedded with some tweaking. I've never really evaluated a board by potential boot times. I need one with a...

    What causes extreme input lag?

    About once every hour or two, my (work) laptop decides each click is worthy of a 4-5 second pause before proceeding. During the pause, I can click like crazy and all commands will wait for that 4-5 seconds before executing in rapid fire succession. Obviously, this drives one completely nuts...

    Are there any Windows based laptops that support dual-link DVI? Last time I checked, the Apple machines were the only ones with dual link capability. That dog just ain't gonna hunt.

    MCE - What is ehtray.exe?

    I did a bit of googling, but most descriptions are a little vague and sometimes conflicting. So I'd lose easy access to the digital media manager? That could mean a few things...

    Driver issues

    Going to have to be a little more specific than that. WHICH driver(s) (Version, Date)? What happens when you try to install? Anything? I just finished retrofitting MCE 2005 on a 4 year old Gateway, so I've tinkered with the drivers a bit. Edit: I can't imagine not 1 of these works...

    MCE - What is ehtray.exe?

    After some serious googling and process of elimination work, I discovered that ehtray.exe is conflicting with my wireless reciever used by my MS wireless keyboard/mouse. This causes the screensaver to quit working. Click here for Microsoft's awesome solution. It appears that Microsoft has...
