    Desk ideas?

    I was in similar condition and went with Uplift Desk 72" wide 24" deep started with 3 27" monitors knowing I was going to ascend to ultrawide. 72" is perfect for that. 2-27" 1440p + 1-34" Ultrawide 1440p Two years down the road and I couldn't be happier.

    Old School Gamer Style Case Recommendations

    I can dig the emotional attachment. I have some 200 mm fans you can have just pay shipping. One of them may well be from an Antec case. I think I had one of the 900's back in the day. Take a pic of your fan and PM me.

    If the wireless signal strength of a fibre modem is weak, what are the remedies?

    Hardwired means using an Ethernet cable to make a network connection instead of Wifi. I only use Wifi when a hardwired connection is not available. Anything less is a compromise and why people complain Wifi sucks look for extender and signal booster etc etc. You asked what are the Remedies. I...

    If the wireless signal strength of a fibre modem is weak, what are the remedies?

    I have two Asus routers both capable of AiMesh and used it for a year or so. It was every bit as potent as what I use now which is two separate routers. The hype is warranted. I especially liked how seamleass the switching was when moving moble devices from one side of the house to the other...

    Wallpaper engine...what ones do you use?

    May not be what you are looking for, but I use really slick screensavers (not an HTTPS site). I have several desktops with multiple monitors what I like about really slick is the dynamically fills all screens to full width of whatever set up it is presented with. In other words spanned not 3...

    If the wireless signal strength of a fibre modem is weak, what are the remedies?

    Buy a switch 4 or 8 port TP-Link TL-SG108 is a good one And do your self a favor, hard wire as many devices as you can. I have a Century Link ONT and connect directly to my Asus RT-AX3000 router with no need for a modem from my ISP, It feeds my 2nd router.

    If the wireless signal strength of a fibre modem is weak, what are the remedies?

    The signal booster is a bad idea IMHO. Most use the same poor signal to boost in a different area and you are stuck with the same suck ass wifi. I would get a good quality wifi router such as TP-Link Archer AXE75. Run a Cat 6 line from modem to a good central location in you home or apartment...

    Chipset driver download outdated on amd.com versus manufacture sites?

    I don't like poking around either and use Intel Driver & Support Assistant The app runs in the system tray and notifies you when new drivers are available occasionally the software it self will need updated and it tells you that as well. Works well for me.

    Chipset driver download outdated on amd.com versus manufacture sites?

    I maintain Asus drivers are recommended. That said I also recommend uninstalling the current chipset driver before updating. Its is normal for Windows to block files delivered from another computer which is where Asus drivers come from. That process is not always self evident. Go to folder the...

    Chipset driver download outdated on amd.com versus manufacture sites?

    For me I use the board specific drivers from Asus support. Consider the AMD driver 5.08.02.027 supports multiple platforms I count 16 different chipsets kinda like you can download multi language version of Nvidia drivers not all are for you. It's very likely the latest and greatest will have...

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    You are right of course but at 18 each vs 32 from CP I'll take my chances.

    Old UPS batteries (APC SUA 1500)... where do you source them?

    Just had batteries fail in my CP1500PFCLCD. I had a real good experience with Replacement Battery Store Great Prices, good communications, and fast ship. All came as expected. I was skeptical at first due to low price but decided to take a chance. I would not hesitate next time.
