    34" Ultrawide with USB-C hub for both productivity and casual gaming?

    Ran into a USB-C issue with the 34WN80C-B today It's been working fine with my wife's ~2019 Mac Book and her work HP laptop (new i7 Elite book, not sure on model). BUT, my i7 6600u based Lenovo Carbon X1 is not receiving power to charge the laptop, though it still works with the display fine.

    34" Ultrawide with USB-C hub for both productivity and casual gaming?

    Just went down this path for my wife. Ended up looking at the LG 34WN80C-B and the Dell (don't recall model offhand) equivalent. Similar features, I think the same panel. The LG was over $200 cheaper, so we went that route. The Dell has onboard speakers and powersupply though. Really like...

    Post Your Connection Speed

    New member to Gig club, about 1 month in with FiOS. Speeds vary, probably because of internet congestion, end point connection abilities/saturation, and Verizon over-subscriptions. Still though, speeds are typically always above 300 and generally in the 700ish-900ish ranges. Speed test just a...

    Liquidsky - PC cloud gaming $10 per month

    It costs just a few bucks to try it out on the pay-as-you go plan. Granted you loose your VM after 3 days of no activity, but that really isn't a concern because you can upgrade it without loosing data to a monthly plan. There is simply no way to 100% confirm if the service will work for you...

    WiFi Thermostats?

    I went a different route about 3 years ago. Seeing how Nests were pretty expensive, I just didn't think that spending $200+ on a thermostat made much sense. Our full electric house has reasonable bills, so I am not looking to make a major cost savings on the backend. We also are on irregular...

    Liquidsky - PC cloud gaming $10 per month

    Agreed. Still very early days, but this is obviously the future. For me, I just use laptops 99% of the time, so need a box to play GTA V or whatever else on. Even a budget gaming PC is going to run me $800 or so with the mid-range specs I want. This costs me $120 a year, so in effect, it's...

    Liquidsky cloud PC gaming service is running a special for $10 per month vs. normal $15 per month for PC Cloud gaming.

    WTB: Pentium 3 / ASUS CUSL2 setup

    hmm, I may have to think about this. My wife would say do it :D, though I still have some attachment to the old girl. I have pretty much top of the line here. CUSL2-C, hacked BIOS to enabled full overclocking past 140fsb, 512gb PC150 @ 155, P3 1000@1162 /155fsb, 6800GT sounds rright but can't...

    Workhorse Laptop recommendations

    Another vote for P50. I have a review unit for our company. Absolutely sick with 32gb of memory and the 4k display. But since you are a Dell shop.... then find the equivalent over there. Usually HP, Lenovo, and Dell have similar or identical devices in their product line.

    Windows XP Pro preferred for 10 PC LAN?

    well unless you are going to be sharing files between the machines, connecting them them to a domain, and/or MS Remote Desktop; I don't really see a point in spending the extra cash unless you forsee this in the future. * There are no differences in networking, when it comes to just game play...

    IBM Offers Free E-Mail Search Tool

    great, and it's Windows only assholes... not surprised really, but I could really use a better search for LN on the Mac. I had a nice MSN search plugin for LN to do some searching... I hate MSN but it worked nicely and I had it only for LN, everything else was disabled. Eventually disabled...

    West 22'' WS Best Buy 219$

    most all LCDs, except for higher end, do not come with DVI cables anymore even our good HP 1755 LCDs we get at work got replaced with a new model of 1740 and they did away with the DVI cable :irked: So now we have to be sure to add that into the orders we place. Very annoying.

    Acer Aspire Celeron Notebook $399.99 No Rebates

    pretty decent machine overall I of course HIGHLY recommend adding at least an additional 512mb stick or 1gb stick. On bootup of original untouched machine you're pushing that 512mb stick to about 420mb give or take. After I threw in another stick for a total of 1gb (already had it, or would...

    yes yes, we know it's old news, there was a thread a meer week ago on them. There was a $30 MIR with this before as well. I just missed it before ordering and was also considering a cheap Dell. I bit and have one ordered. Microcenter sucks for getting your product. My process went like...

    Admins: What do you run for a centralized Antivirus solution?

    McAffee 8 with EPO servers pushed out to around 10k users or so seems to work fine, but the program seems to really slow a machine down. Fairly intensive scanning. At home, on my domain, I run Symantec 9.1 and it seems much lighter and doesn't bog the machines down as much as the McAffee...

    Have you disabled UAC

    3.2Ghz P4 w/ 2GB RAM and 8800GTX?

    if he has PCI-E then yes, it's a worthwhile upgrade 1gb of ram doesn't cost to much and the card is easily moved to a new(er) system. if in 6 months he wants to upgrade the rest, the worst is just not being able to use the memory with new setup.

    My 6800GT seems to be crapping out

    thanks for the feedback I really like this card, as it's very very unique from other cards with the pimp cooling. Especially when it came out! that really really sucks about a month of time. With CNC3 coming out at the end of the month, I may look into doing that... gonna quickly ponder it. I...
