So after years of running our wireless network in the house I have finally come to the point where I am fed up with the slower speeds in the front of the house. Due to the fact that this is an older home, built in 1963, a powerline adapter is out of the question as I do not know the integrity of...

I currently have a 2011 iMac that is hooked to my old WIN 7 desktop hdd (WD 640 Black) via a monoprice toaster external enclosure. After some recent power issues the toaster has been exhibiting signs that it is getting ready to fail. So the time has come to add some more storage and move up...

Quick question about this.. Have a new-ish (year old) iMac and last gen AppleTV (not the 1080p one) and I will be picking up Diablo III next week. Was wondering what or if I would be able to play it over the AppleTV through AirPlay? I know random but I am stoked about DIII coming!!:D

To Airport Extreme or To Not Airport... looking for input from those with Aiport Extremes vs. Other Routers.

That is the question!!! I have a rev. 1.0 Cisco E2000 router that is decent but when it comes to things like streaming video it severely lacks (especially when talking about HD quality). I know that the router is not really setup for that and it was more of an impulse buy when my old WRT54G v6...

So I have been a PC convert for a number of years now, built several of my own PC, upgraded laptops and everything. I originally started out on Macs back in the Apple IIe days, then moving to others like the Quadra, G3, etc. But when I went away to school it was just more "practical" to get a...

Will shuttle cases take normal micro-atx boards or are they special boards made for the Shuttle cases?

Little bit of back story..... So I have had a Linksys WRT54G v6 running my wireless network flawlessly for the last 5-6yrs. After we moved into our new house about a year and a half ago it began to show its age and the "dirty" power in the house began to take its toll on the poor router. After...

So I recently traded my old psp-2000 star wars edition for a good softball bat (I havent used the psp in over a year and I am playing softball a couple times a week). Anyways, so I was looking to see how much I could get for my games that the buyer didn't want from the PSP and found that GS has...

So my wife and I have recently picked up Stand-Up Paddleboarding as a hobby. Since we live near beautiful Lake Tahoe I thought I would take the opportunity to try and take some pics while out on the water with the boards. I am looking for a good waterproof P&S for around $250-$300 or cheaper...
