    T-Mobile: free G2x with new line (8/16 only)

    T-mobile is running their free LG G2x w/new line activation promotion again. The G2x isn't as nice as the Sensation (metal+plastic case vs unibody metal, 800x480 vs 960x540 display, 512mb ram vs 768mb, stock gingerbread vs sense 3.0), but a free dual core phone is still a hell of a deal. No...

    Another online backup question: SOS, crashplan, backblaze for home user?

    I'm looking for an online backup for non-computer-clued-in people. I've been having a lot of trouble making a decision. SOSBackup seems to be the darling of the ad-sponsored PC magazines (makes me suspicious - have those guys been throwing around tickets for Jamaican software evaluation trips?)...

    Version control for average user, NOT cloud?

    Is there any form of version control that is: 1) Usable by the average person - ie, no need to explicitly "check in/out" files and GUI-based reversion of files. 2) NOT part of a cloud software solution 3) Works well with semi-binary files - ie, Adobe Indesign, MS Word, etc. I know about...

    Xen desktop & Adobe Premier: how much hardware?

    Has anyone played around with Xen Desktop and Adobe Permier / Photoshop? Is this sort of thing possible with "normal" server hardware (ie, dual proc or less & small number of drives - let's say 5ish drives or less)?

    Sprint: Evo, Galaxy, or wait?

    My current phone (HTC Touch Pro) is annoyingly flaky. I'm off contract, so I can get the "fake phone discount" if necessary. Should I get an evo, a galaxy, or wait for future android / Windows phones?

    Cheap software-based CAT6 cable analyzer/certifier?

    Are there any software products that will allow you to use a computer to do CAT6 cable testing/certification? The hardware products are a bit out of my reach at $1,000 to start.

    Best cheap used L2 switch?

    Can anyone recommend a brand/model for a cheap/used L2 switch? They will be used in the outer areas of a school building where there is a lot of daisy chaining (as many as 5 chained switches). The only requirement is that they must support 802.1q vlan. Something fast would be nice (asic/2~4M pps...

    Anyone know wheere to find an SR-2?

    Does anyone know where an SR-2 can be found in stock? The only one I've been able to locate is Puget Systems for $670. All the major retailers I've tried (provantage, excalibur, futurepowerpc, 2020pc, nextdaypc, iunitek, etc) have been out of stock. I'd get it from ebay, but most of the ebay...

    Any thoughts about whether it's worth taking a risk on a GTX470 with the black screen problems still unresolved? Occasional 3D crashes don't bother me, but I must have 100% stability for normal desktop work.

    gtx460 or gtx465 at same price?

    Now that the gtx460 and gtx465 are roughly the same price (~$210), any ideas on which is preferred if heat/noise is not an issue? I'm leaning towards a 465 for slightly better gaming performance and better gpugp performance. Any ideas on which is likely to be the better overclocker?

    My Sapphire 4870 512MB was working just fine with my old motherboard (Biostar TA780G). After moving it to my new motherboard (Gigabyte 790XTA), I now find that my PC will not turn on after a hard or soft reset. All fans turn, but the three red LEDs on my Sapphire card all blink together in a...
