sure you can. For windows 7, right click on desktop->personalize click "Display" on bottom left Either choose a default percentage value there or "Set custom text size) on left. You can click+drag the ruler to make custom sizes

Only time I've had Windows skip a bootable dvd is when the burn didn't make a checksum correct copy. You may need to reburn it if you made it via image. Also if you want to nuke the partition completely, you can just make a bootable linux cd or usb (if supported by bios) and use gparted to...

I've never had issue with prime shipping speed. That being said, the free shipping is quite slow if you don't have prime

hiding the folders is mostly to not have an entire screen of shares but alas, if it isn't really possible, then oh well =( Will look in to a NAS solution

Ideally I want to share certain private folders with only my computers, share different folders with certain people who are not always here, share 1 movie folder with another set of people and a separate movie folder with a different set of people. This would require (as far as I know) a minimum...

While that does work, it isn't what I'm looking for as it both requires a lot more accounts on the computer that are only used to share files (my OCD will bug me about it), and it doesn't hide files folders that the clients don't have permission for. It won't let them run/edit the files but the...

is there a way to set just set a simple username/password setup for folders to share it to certain people over a network? Essentially what I would like to be able to do is go to any folder, right click on the folder, hit share with users(or similar button) and then be able to input...

Sometimes I use it has a HTPC (don't want to lug my desktop to the TV room for a movie night). It can't stream over wifi for crap (at least hd video). To store videos, flash drive/usb hard drive is needed. Also you have to use a special build on the ouya forum of XBMC(semper xbmc IIRC) instead...

Secret of Mana

and I am an idiot. Issue resolved. For those interested, the monitor backlight went out. When I tested the other monitor I must've had it on the wrong input or something.

Alrighty, so when I head over to my friends house again, I will first try the computer outside the case (Antec 300, didn't mention it earlier) to see if its a grounding issue. If it still fails then most likely a mobo issue? I will bring up the shoddy PSU info. Also, since i forgot to mention it...

I believe i mentioned it in the first post, I already tried a known working PSU(same wattage) in the computer and it had the same exact issue.

Motherboard: ASRock 890FX Deluxe3 http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=890FX%20Deluxe3 CPU: Phenom II x6 3.2 Ghz http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-Processor-Edition-HDT90ZFBGRBOX/dp/B003FVI2KQ GPU: Geforce 460 GTX (similar design to link but not exact same. Friend doesn't have box and...

Sorry if i was a little unclear, the motherboard that I believe to be bad has 2 PCI-E slots, both of them do not work with either my friends nor my backup video card. My friends video card works in a separate machine (my old gaming machine) just fine. Since both ports have the issue, I am...

I need a couple of opinions regarding some trouble I am having with hardware on a friends computer. Basically what ends up happening is the computer turns on just fine, all fans and drives/ect... The issue is that the monitor will show its getting a signal but it will just display black. On...

I don't believe you can output to multiple sound cards (which is what you are asking for) without special software. Personally for me, I use a g15 keyboard bound to an autoit script that I found somewhere and adjusted. Code below: http://pastebin.com/fZbd36tu As for the sound menu bugging out...

Deep Dark Blue with somewhat lighter blue highlights. Yes blue is my favorite >.>

I've heard good things about Seasonic and being able to confirm what I've heard would be a good bonus (and a good incentive for future buys).

If you bridge the tg852, then make sure the router is connected to the #1 slot. All other slots are disabled. If it is still not working once bridged and plugged into router, power cycle the router. If it is still not working, factory reset the router.

The PSU choice was not because I though I needed the wattage but because I have a distrust in any PSU under $70, I do agree that seasonic and antec are good brands so I would not be incredibly worried about a lower priced version model of theirs As for intel vs AMD, I really am not very...

Good point, updated original post to an ASUS mobo

I could use some assistance with building a computer for a friend of the family. Basically the computer will be used for light/medium gaming(League of Legends, TF2, perhaps minecraft, and maybe more), live streaming, and artistic sketching. I have a good idea of the parts to buy on a high end...

High power video cards in a smooth/sleek design, what more can you ask for.

Quality product from a quality company, need I say more?

The suggestions are extremely appreciated. I am actually happy with those changes. Thanks for the help, off to buy.

$30 for an extra 300 Mhz+overclock ability isn't bad I suppose. That will leave 250ish for a video card. Any suggestions (only 1 video card, I don't like SLI/crossfire. Makes the room way too hot) Any opinions on any other hardware?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Purpose of machine is almost entirely gaming. Secondary use is running multiple VM's 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Budget: $1150-$1250 Hard limit, includes taxes and shipping 3) Which country...

I understand what you mean. I am normally pretty lazy regarding many things. Computers are the exception. I never have more than 10 icons on my desktop, most of the time 5 or less (I use it for keeping notes between sessions mostly). I auto-run only programs that I use every time I boot the...

It would be really nice to replace my aging Geforce 260gtx...borderlands 2 is capping it out =(

FYI, the $25 model is not out yet. They are using the $35 model.

Is hyperthreading worth it for server hosting+gaming at same time/occasional encoding or no?

Check out this article http://www.pcworld.com/article/248995/how_to_install_windows_7_without_the_disc.html I think it's exactly what you need.

Team Fortress 2 (playing and hosting)---TF2 lags in combat with mid settings and 1080p resolution. It caps my processor and put my RAM at 90% Diablo 3 Minecraft (playing and hosting)---Minecraft server pulls over 3 GB RAM alone and is currently hosted on a different computer. Battlefield 3---BF3...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily gaming and hosting game servers while gaming. Occasional video encoding 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1100 is preferable but if the upgrade is worth it, then up to $1300 3) Which...

Free File Sync looks to be working great, I think I will stick to that. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

Richcopy looks like a great utility but it also looks like it suffers from the same issue as robocopy. That being that it is a 1 way sync with deleting propagations, not 2 way =(. Essentially it is good as a backup solution but not a syncing solution.

To improve my experience: Power (I currently use a NVIDIA 260 GTX 896MB) Tweak-ability Additional display ability. My current card maxes out on Team Fortress 2 due to 1920x1200 resolution. I can't play BF3 on anything other than low and still get 5-10 fps in combat. For the non-gaming...

Alas, Robocopy won't work then. I guess I will use FreeFileSync, it seems to be promising.

Oops, apparently I missed that section...it has a LOT of options. How do /purge and /mir know which files to delete? The functionality would require some sort of database to know that the file did exist but was deleted. EDIT: If I can get robocopy to properly propagate deletions amongst 3...

I know I tried FreeFileSync previously but didn't like it, I suppose I can try it again. It can't hurt. Robocopy doesn't give the option to propagate deletions. Neither does DSynchronize IIRC
