    Best 2.1 System With Headphone Jack Under $50

    What's your opinion on a Logitech Z-2300? I can pick up a used set on EBay for $100 shipped. Means scrounging up an extra $50, but I could probably ask for it as a graduation present.

    Best 2.1 System With Headphone Jack Under $50

    Thanks for the input! What if I raised my price point to $150? Then what would you suggest?

    Best 2.1 System With Headphone Jack Under $50

    Hey all, I'm inundated by options here so I just keep waffling back and forth. Without the ability to actually hear all the systems out there, I thought some [H] opinions would help point me in the right direction. I've been exclusively using headphones on my desktop for a while now, but I...

    Reccomend me a good 2.1 pc speaker set

    Posting, I'd like a good recommendation in this price range as well. There are waaaay too many to choose from. Ideally I'd like one with an easily-accessible headphones port.

    30" Monitors: Who has them, and how do you use them?

    So I look at 30" monitors and drool with envy, though I'll likely never spring for one. But I was wondering, what do you guys actually use them for? How far do you have to place them from your keyboard and mouse to not scar your retinae? Are they good in multi-monitor setups? Can we have...

    My Storage/Backup/Server Woes

    Appreciate all the help! You're making it harder for me to talk myself out of building a home server/buying a sound system instead of saving for law school. :/

    My Storage/Backup/Server Woes

    Thanks! I've got my eyes on building a server, then. I'd rather have the more fleshed-out OS, with the add-ins and everything, and even though I don't currently do any web hosting or transcoding, I'd like to branch out in the future without upgrading hardware. A couple of quick questions, then...

    My Storage/Backup/Server Woes

    Also (and here's where my complete incompetence in home servers comes out,) Newegg separates the "Server Systems" category, including the MediaSmart series, from "NAS." Is an HP MediaSmart not a NAS? What are the differences?

    My Storage/Backup/Server Woes

    Yeah, I got it before the WD TV Live came out. And when I hook up my 1TB external, it takes hours to index the files on there. So I usually just drop the movie(s) I want to watch onto a 16GB thumb drive. Any reason you recommend an HP MediaSmart in particular? It just seems to be on the...

    My Storage/Backup/Server Woes

    [H] has been very kind to me in the past on the computer-building education front, so I thought I could toss you guys a rather open-ended question and ask for your input. I'm going to law school in August and am toying with the idea of reworking my current home computer situation. Right now my...

    Was wondering if anyone had any reviews? iBUYPOWER

    I bought a computer from IBuyPower maybe four years ago, and ran it for three before upgrading and giving it to my girlfriend. For those years it ran just fine... very stable, never had any lingering issues to speak of. The only qualm I had was that I opted for a "water cooling system"...

    Broken Drive Troubleshooting

    For fears that that might void the Dell warranty for some reason, in case it does need to be sent back. Also, as stupid as it sounds, I've never owned a laptop myself, and never opened one up before. Anything I should be aware of, or does the bottom just pop right off and back on?
