    How far can my old power supply go?

    I've been out of the loop for awhile. Buying a new one felt more like buying a new hdd (I have a 400GB SATA) - nice but the new capacities and types don't directly fit my needs. And: poor college student. I didn't know PSUs changed power connectors, I also hoped I could get a formidable...

    How far can my old power supply go?

    I have an FSP Group AX400-PN. I'm looking to build a new rig for relatively cheap and while the motherboard (AM2) is a lost cause, was thinking I can get away with the power supply... although now that I'm looking around at the power supplies typically being used even in mid-range rigs I'm...

    need a cheap laptop or should i fix my current one

    what are the best/cheapest deals going around for laptop computers? I'm talking about something I can grab for less than $500 shipped e.g. on eBay. The laptop is for college. I don't need a lot of computing power. I need: durable (good name and build quality that will last) lightweight (it...

    HDMI to HDMI issues

    vga works fine on mine too (but i usually keep that port connected to my desktop) I wonder if it is just our monitors (well, mine is a tv Olevia 32") that is not handling it appropriately, or if there's a GPU setting hidden somewhere that is changing the picture...

    HDMI to HDMI issues

    I don't think it's the cable. I have a dv9000 HP laptop and I am having a similar problem. It doesn't seem over saturated or anything but it is fuzzy and just doesn't look great (text looks especially bad); the sides of the picture are cut off by 10 pixels or so all around the screen. I tried...

    Portege M200/M205 ?

    I actually purchased the M200 last year and I have been liking it. Toshiba's power management software is pretty good, with it on it runs pretty cool and has a decent battery life (chances are you will be buying this used, so your mileage will depend how old the battery is). The processor...

    Docking station for HP laptop?

    I have a dv9225us and I am looking for a docking station that I can leave all external peripherals (monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.) connected to. I am looking for something cheap but I'm not sure where to look or even how to tell which models are compatible with my laptop. Any suggestions?

    Zune Premium Earbuds $9.03 @ Buy.com w/ GC

    I got mine in the zune travel pack from woot. I think I remember that I liked them, but they broke in less than a week (there was no abuse/mishandling) so I would not buy them again :/ Right now a have the JVC marshmallows. They are not as comfy as these but as a non-audiophile I think they...

    85$ Zune!

    I already bought a black one @ $100 (love it) but I couldn't pass this up. In for two, planning on keeping the travel pack (perfect timing because I desperately need a new pair of earphones and the ac charger will be convenient with wireless sync coming tomorrow.) planning on giving at least one...

    Notebook will not power on

    It is a Compaq Presario 2500 (specifically 2594US) notebook I used a Winflash utility from their website to update the BIOS: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...551&lang=en (I was hoping to fix an audio problem.) However, right before it started programming the BIOS it froze and...

    Searching for the BEST homemade desk design

    *sigh* they don't make those desks anymore (O'sullivan L-shaped diplomat workcenter). O'Sullivan went out of business and I could not find it on sale anywhere. It was inexpensive (as low as $90 - $100 and looked like the perfect no frills L-desk since I do not need drawers/keyboard tray etc...

    DD-WRT flashable Buffalo AirStation g54 $25 (WHR-G54S)

    We're both coming from the same router (DI-624 Rev.C1) I began looking for a new router because I was getting a bad connection with a new laptop. I figured for $25 I might as well try this and it's been a very solid upgrade; the laptop is now running without a hitch. This one is faster, I'm...

    64-bit OS Question

    For the home, x64 just isn't worth it at this time imo. There are a few improvements that have already been mentioned here, but the real problem is drivers (compatibility.) In some hardware configurations 64-bit driver support has been going along good, especially with hardware from the...
