    USB3 Backup GOTCHA

    Agree, but a pair of 4TB Hitachi for $160 each was too good a deal, just glad I tore one open to see what was really going on. They had it broke into 3 partitions, Had to use diskpart to clean the MBRs and make it a single GPT drive. Going to throw both enclosures in the trash and keep the...

    HDMI LCD TV + Monitor + new HD7750

    The problem is mainly old games that only play in full screen, for some reason I can't get it to default fullscreen mode to the HDMI-TV. I ould be happy if all fullscreen went to the HDMI TV and thats all it did. Seems like a simple thing.

    HDMI LCD TV + Monitor + new HD7750

    I bought a xfx single slot HD7750 so I could watch video's and play games on my LCD TV via HDMI out. I downloaded the latest 13.1 drivers and the optional hydravision but I can't find any option to make full screen default to HDMI. Some old games and applications don't go to the LCD TV with...

    9 month sandforce report

    Spent some time on the OZC support forum, a lot of drives going blank to bios with no real solution, bricks. Even folks who are not using sleep/hiberfil, bit of a scary situation. I remember buying this as my first SSD thinking they had been out a few years not wanting to be an early...

    Need silent Graphics card

    That passive 6850 is deactivated. You may want to look at the other new 6xxx series cards, sounds like you are after a card for media not games

    Home Theaters Are Overrated Home Projects

    Hold on , the guy with the 50 inch TV got blasted but its always acceptable to design a home theater with 3 inch speakers, . A mono 30 year old 10" 2 way speaker would give better accoustics than the typical $1600 feather weight surround speaker setup folks are buying. I've seen some guys...

    Z68 SSD Cache - The Only Way to Fly (lazy man SSD)

    Is an M4 going to hold up used as a Z68 cashe drive? I thought that required more of a enterprise type SSD? You may want to consider looking into an SSD specifically built for this utility or just using it as a boot/OS drive. Just saying you may want to look into this a bit. Keep us posted.

    Services that allow remote access in Win7

    I remember with XP there was a guide with a list of services you can turn off if you just have a single computer household, services that allow access from remote computers that would be potential holes for hackers. Anyone have a link to a list like this for Win7 ?
