    Online backup for multiple computers?

    Ah- I think I missed the family plan. That could indeed be a good solution.

    Online backup for multiple computers?

    I'm wondering if anyone out there has an online backup solution for multiple computers that they like. Household currently has 2 PCs and 2 Macbook Airs (and a number of mobile devices). Most of the solutions I'm seeing out there- Backblaze, Crashplan, etc.- seem to charge a flat per...

    Know nothing about IMacs. Need help please. Important

    Chiming in here a little bit late, but in all honesty, the best bet would be to go to an Apple Store and let her try them out. The baseline difference between the Apple laptops- Macbook Air is in the middle in terms of thickness and lightness (it's still pretty thin and light), as well as...

    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    Just to be clear- the size is 12.5" long (slightly under that, actually). I know some people have been reporting 15+, but that seems to be from Amazon and is incorrect (maybe the length of the box it comes, though).

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Managed to pick up the Gigabyte 970 at Microcenter/Westbury about 2:30PM this afternoon. They started the day with 4 EVGA ACX Superclocked and 2 Gigabyte cards; by the time I was there they were showing 2 GB and 1 EVGA. It's possible they got more in/still have some (website is showing 2 and...

    Nvidia 980/970 Availability Thread

    Check the actual EVGA site- one at stock, another OCed but not as much as some of the ACXs. http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+900+Series+Family

    First fully new PC build in 7 years

    If there's likely to be a significant bump in price/performance, I'd be willing to do that. Most of the recommendations I see out there seem to be suggesting AMD due to better price/performance- is the expectation that the 9xx series is going to change that?

    First fully new PC build in 7 years

    As noted, first fully new build in 7 years. I'd like to go in more of a SFF direction, so either Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX for case and motherboard. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily Web browsing and word processing. Some gaming as well; DA3...

    Sizing up- which direction to look in?

    Current monitor is a Dell 2407WFP- a great monitor, but it's now 8 years old and I want something bigger before the end of the year. Not coincidentally, I'm also looking to do a brand new system- the current computer isn't quite from 2006 like the monitor, but it's not that far off. I'd like...

    iPhone 5s protective cases?

    In case anyone's curious- I've been convinced (especially since it's being given as a present) to eventually go for a lifeproof case, once one that supports the 5s comes out. In the mean time, I picked up an Otterbox Commuter for $21.99, from Newegg, which had the cheapest price for something...

    iPhone 5s protective cases?

    Looking for a case that will best protect an iPhone 5s, preferably with the ability to still use the new fingerprint features. Otterbox Defender and Commuter have been updated, but there are some complaints about the Defender that I've seen out there (specifically that there's not no bezel...
