I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Corsair: http://slickdeals.net/f/8234588-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-corsair-vengeance-pro-240-pin-ddr3-2400-pc3-19200-cl11-1-65v-desktop-memory-kit-for-69-99-or-less-more-free-shipping-newegg-com-starting-at-6-pm-pt Comes to $47.30 shipped after the November...

I might be interested in Newegg's red hot Shell Shocker today ($70 possibly -11%) on this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233778& I currently have 8 GB of generic RAM running at 1333 CL 9 and I'm interested in upgrading to 16 GB. My MOBO is: ASUS P8Z68-VLX...

Not that anyone cares judging by the lack of responses, but...I removed three of the four 2 GB RAM sticks and it BOOTS up and goes into Windows! This is a simple problem that I can solve! I'm so happy.

My computer worked fine two days ago, but now it no longer POSTs. When I go to start it the power comes on and the fans run, but I do not receive a signal to the monitor. Also, the mouse lights up (but not the optical sensor part) and the keyboard caps/num/scroll lock lights turn on (and I...

How would you know which wires to solder together? As far as I know it's not like a power cable where the cable is a single mass of undifferentiated copper threads.

It's time for a thread bump since this is a great topic and the issue has never been resolved. Now I'm interested in resurrecting that Sidewinder keyboard.

Now that I think about it. I can just tape used dryer fabric softner sheets to the side and it doesn't matter if the grate sticks out and it would be free. Ghetto, but free.

I just obtained an Antec 300 case and I'd like to add a side intake fan and filter. However, the grill (integrated with the side panel) sticks out. I want to add this magnetic filter on the outside, would I have a problem? Would I need to take a rubber mallet and pound the grate flat...

I want to format and partition a brand new 128 GB SSD drive. It's an OCZ Vertex 4: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-2-5-Inch-Industrys-Warranty/dp/B007R1FH3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354485206&sr=8-1&keywords=ocz+vertex+4 I have it in an external HD case connected by USB 2.0. It shows...

I've thought about that possibility--getting the USB gooseneck lamps. But can you change the LEDs in them to get a blue glow?

Black, Blue, Red, Brown...how many different types are there? What is the difference between these four types?

I might be interested in getting a blue light to aim down at my keyboard -- something like a Razer Battlelight (which as far as I know you can only use with the Razer Tarantula keyboard): http://www.xoxide.com/razer-battle-light.html Does anyone else make something similar? I'm thinking...

I have a Sidewinder X6 keyboard, and I think the cable has gone bad. When using the keyboard, it would cut off on me now and then and go unresponsive. I think the light would go off too. Has anyone ever replaced the cable on one of these? I think it's an OK keyboard. I like the...

I have a mouse that might be on its last legs--probably as the result of a short in the cable. I've grown to love the feel of this mouse (Ideazon Reaper Edge/HP Voodoo DNA), but the cord may have a short in it somewhere. My cat loves the mouse, too, so much so that she likes to lay her ass...

I'm contemplating purchasing a Cyber Snipa Warboard keyboard to replace a crappy illuminated Logisys keyboard. Has anyone here ever owned one and would you purchase it again (if it were under $25)?
