Thought I would post back here to let everyone know the outcome of the saga.. So I contacted DriveSavers and they were very professional. I was quoted the standard 750-2100 rate for a normal recovery. It took them about 2 weeks after they had received the drive to get back to me. Unfortunately...

Haha please..tell me about it! I went super paranoid when my computer almost died and so that is why I got this case which had 2 hard drives. They're not RAID, just a simple manual backup from one to the other on a regular basis. Of course I didn't think they'd both die on me at the exact same...

Thanks for the replies guys! I originally looked at trying to do it myself, but opted for help. Now, since the first drive was was diagnosed as possibly having a platter problem, I only have 1 shot left! Hope these places can help, I will let you know how it turns out!:eek:

They all seem so similar.. I am just looking for a place that is better than the average local data recovery place. International is OK :D The background is, I had an external case with 2 HD, it fried them both at the same time. I took 1 to the local data recovery place and they said they...

Hi wow lots of responses really fast! I have an HDMI cable, but there is a setting I just found under movies that says something like "convert 1080i to 1080p" and it was set to automatic, but I changed it to "video". So now it works, thanks!

Hi guys, didnt know if this is the right are to post.. I bought a bunch of Blu-Rays to play on my PS3, and now not having realized it, my monitor can only display 1080p, not 1080i, so now I can't see the menus for some of them, or the extras, and some are entirely unplayable. I am...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will take a look at Magento, I have quite a bit of customization to do anyways so it might work for me. How nicely would Magento play with Zend if i decide to go that route for my framework?

Hi I am going to be doing a bit of an overhaul on one of my old websites. I've used a few frameworks on some recent projects like RoR, Django and ASP.net (my preferred so far), but I have experience only with wordpress as far as cms's go. The website is essentialy a publisher which sells its...

Hey I got the SV version a few months ago and then calibrated it. Looks great. I'm wondering, since it's calibrated now can i just sell off my SV kit to someone who needs it? I'm quite willing to part with it since I need the money these days.

Thanks everyone, I already got myself some Monster HDMI-DVI Cables for $99 on sale! just joking. ;)

I am a bit confused between DVI-D and DVI-I. Which one am I supposed to use for the PS3? How can I wire the sound from the PS3 to my speakers? Also where can I buy something like this.. Thanks

Hey I just got the MGS PS3 Bundle and I would like to hook it up to my 2690. What sort of adapter do I need for that? Is there any other tips on connecting the PS3 to the 2690? Thanks

Hey everyone, I just got my 2690 and its fantastic. My only slight annoyance has been the input lag. I find it fine in windows, fps and rts's are a bit hard to play. I just ran into this article though: http://xtknight.axspace.com/lcd26/page7.htm Which basicaly shows you that turning...

Excellent. Thanks. That information was perfect.

Right, the only question i have about that is does Spectraview just need to be run once, then the hardware is calibrated, or does it need to be run as a software utility that stores color settings and runs in the taskbar.
