    Laptop, ~17", Win 7

    Hey, I'm helping someone pick out a laptop, she's not a big power user or anything, mostly internet, video streaming, etc. She only wants to use Windows 7, as that's what she uses at work and doesn't want to have to learn Windows 8. She's looking for a screen size ~17", and she's got a budget of...

    Issues with 1TB External

    I think that's what I'm going to have to do, and thanks for the responses. If the data is lost, it's not the end of the world, but some personal stuff is on there that will be missed =( It's mostly old projects and such, this external was intended for files that I wanted to keep, but wouldn't...

    Issues with 1TB External

    But I can't back it all up. It dies within a minute or two usually, and some of the files are over 1GB each.

    Issues with 1TB External

    If the control board is what is failing, could cracking open the case help? After all, isn't it most likely just a laptop HDD in there?

    Issues with 1TB External

    I have a 1TB Transcend USB 2.0 External, and it's had issues since... about 3 months after buying it? I bought it back in January 2012 I've kinda put it off and not thought about it, but I need to figure out what's wrong, because there is data on there I would really like to save...

    Cooler Master Hyper 212+ Temps?

    Ok, I downloaded RealTemp, it says 27C. But why would SF give me such a crazy number like that? But thank you, I was very worried when I first started SF =/

    Cooler Master Hyper 212+ Temps?

    I've had an Intel 2500k for a bit over a year now, and I've had my 212+ sitting around, never installed it for whatever reason, was using the stock cooler. Now I installed it, and I also downloaded both SpeedFan and SiSoftware Sandra, since I hadn't DL'd either of them since my last reformat...

    Best value on 560ti?

    Hmm, maybe I will wait for the 6xx version to come out. If it ends up blowing me away, awesome, if not, the 560ti will probably at least drop below 200 bucks...

    Best value on 560ti?

    So, my specs are in my signature, I've been feeling pretty limited by my 9800GT lately. I only play at 1920x1080, so I don't need a powerhouse or anything. Been thinking 560ti for a while now. What specific card would you recommend? Only ever dealt with EVGA in the past, but not opposed to...

    Budget sound card?

    For the question about what I'll be using for the slot, it would be a PCI-E x1. Also, I would definitely like front panel audio with the card. Thanks for all of the posts, I have a lot of cards to look through =)

    Large capacity MP3 player?

    Does anyone know of any 250GB+ MP3 players that have physical controls? It seems like they don't seem to make many MP3 players that size, which sucks. Only one I've seen is the Archos 5 but I need physical controls since I hate using a touchscreen while driving. I don't need fancy EQ or...

    Budget sound card?

    I have decent speakers and a headset, but the onboard audio isn't cutting it. My current stuff isn't top of the line so I'm looking towards the cheaper end of the sound card area. My speakers are Logitech Z2300 and my headset is an Audio-Technica ATH-M30. Nothing crazy but I like what I have...

    New build I'm going to build, suggestions?

    Alright, thanks for the info about those coolers. I see that the 212+ uses what looks like standard 120mm fans, can I replace that with any standard case fan of the same size?

    New build I'm going to build, suggestions?

    Thanks for that recommendation, I've heard good stuff about the 212+. This is just mainly for the looks, but what do you guys think about this cooler...
