Me too. If it was backlit, it would be 10x better.

Also, if you're in it for BR playback, get a BR player. There isn't native software for BR playback like there is for DVD, you'll have to not only purchase the software but make it work with your choice of front-end. Unless you're getting the software in Juarez, you'd be better off getting a...

Just finished my HTPC build, here's what I picked up: Intel i3-2100 (3.1GHz, dual-core) Asus P8H67-M PRO (using onboard GPU with HDMI out to TV and optical SPDIF) 4GB Corsair (2x2GB) 64GB Crucial SSD (OS only) HDHomerun Dual Network Tuner Samsung BD-ROM / DVD-RW hec Desktop case External 750GB...

QFT. Don't do this.

Typo, the model is actually a M6811, not a M6819.

I have a 1 year old emachines M6819 laptop. The condition is pristine, with the exception of the cracked hinges and backlight flicker that goes along with it. The good news is that these are covered under warranty, and I have the necessary materials to get these repaired. You will receive this...

Just ran through 2 iterations of Memtest, no errors reported. I am building this box to go in my car, and all the research I have done indicates that the Biostart would be able to function with a 150W PSU, much less a 220W one. If that is not the case, then I seriously need to rework my setup...

Never heard of Memtest86. Can this be run from a booted CD? /edit Nevermind, google answered my question :) I will try it today.

Wow, it just occured to me how long it's been since I posted on here ;) Anyway, here's the specs: Biostar M7NCG-400 MicroATX board Athlon XP-M 2600+ 512 MB A-Data (cheapy Newegg) memory 80GB ATA100 HD (tested in an external enclosure, works normally) 220W PSU (supplied in case) cheapy...

I fucking hate you. If I had 1100 to burn, that 2650xm would be mine. Good luck on selling that, the experience setting up the switches alone is worth a lot more than what you are asking. Very reasonable pricing I might add.

sorry man, have to post a price.

Good luck with trying that line at BBY. What you could say that may have a bit more impact is why the turnaround time for a paid-for, non manufacturers warranty is significantly more than the turnaround time for the inclusive manufacturer's warranty.

I am getting wood just looking at this stuff. Unfortunately, I have a 3Com managed switch and have no real use for that stuff. GREAT buy for anyone who wants to get their feet wet working with infractructure stuff, and a Layer 3 switch!

Heh, I have 2 emachines boxes here that I never sent the RMA back :)

Well, I made my swap about 20 dasy ago (just outside the return window) and now have noticed a crack on the left hinge. I should have looked for it before, but there it is nonetheless. I completely forgot that the affected range ended in 48, mine is 46. To cap it all off, I JUST sent in the...

quoted for motherfucking truth. I am a desktop admin, and I cringe every time I read the virus logs from Symantec AV for our network. I have to tell you, having real-time scan takes up a HELL of a lot less CPU cycles than some asshole in Russia putting spam through your machine. Think...

If you don't know how you can get a virus being connected to the network, you have some serious issues. Almost all the non mass mailing viruses are network aware. Do you seriously think that a virus is going to pop up and ask to be installed? Please.

Whether or not you have the PSP shouldn't make any difference, this was a recall by emachines that Best Buy picked up on. BBY at Tuttle Mall in Columbus is good. Be prepared to plead your case, but in the end you should come out.

Clearly you haven't set up an AV program in a while. They don't just tell you you have a virus if you bother to set them up properly. Also, I would NEVER use ANY off the shelf retail AV program. EVER. They have way too much bloat as they try to package in firewalls, internet security...

Way too much. eMachines charges a lot less. I think for 3 years it's 189.

35 minutes and you didn't escalate to a manager? That was your fault. Go to a different BBY and get management involved, I guarantee you will have different results.

1.8in HD (notebook HD's) are NOT the same connectors as standard IDE. I know there is a little PCB converter, you can get them pretty cheaply, I just have no idea where :)

I can also speak to this. Booting for the first time with the new laptop was a bit slow, but that was because it was seeing the new devices (new DVD-RW, wireless). After that, it was completely normal. I also lost my wireless settings, but that was because the driver was reinstalled. I...

Well, I just got back from Best Buy, and I was able to pull off the swap. I put 54 down for the M6811, and am getting back a 100 rebate :) Couple things you should know, chances are that they staff has NO clue what you are talking about. Also, they happened to have a 6805 that they...

Congrats on the baby!

PM paypal info for Blow and Rush Hour 2.

Can anyone zip up the drivers on the 3rd CD and send them to me? My 3rd CD is missing in action, and my DVD/CDRW drivers just got corrupted for some screwed up reason. email is jeff@binaryshower*nospam* dot com

If I were to sell my M6805, it would be to buy this laptop :) Hell of a deal here guys...

OR Chapura PocketMirror. This will sync everything but email, and as I recall, Intellisync will do the same thing. To get email on the Treo, you need a program like SnapperMail that will take advantage of the wireless data connection. Setup isn't all that hard, but it definitely will cost you...

Let me just tell you from experience, do NOT get a Kensington ANYTHING. My bag I had for 3 months, shoulderstrap fell apart, it took them 3 weeks and 4 calls to send me out a new bag. I eventually bitched so hard they upgraded my stuff, but I still would never buy anything from them again.

PIF me some printers :)

I agree, but I would have liked to have seen a vid upgrade instead of a HD upgrade. 9600 is getting a little behind, especially since Doom 3 is going gold.

Quoted for truth. I just had to speak to them for the first time for the cracked hinges issue, and my hold time was 23 SECONDS. Got right through to an ENGLISH SPEAKING AMERICAN. I can't tell you how happy I am with their cust serv, thus far at least. There is still a lot of balls they can...

I shut off suspend on close. This happens to mine too, when it goes into suspend (on battery) the wifi totally shuts down. I have to hit fn+f2 for it to refind the network.

This sounds like a bad software install. If I were you, I would start over and see if the problem manifests itself again.

I was so confident I didn't have them, I voted I didn't, then I looked around my screen. Fuck, there they are. I've had this about 3.5 months too.

Not going to hurt your bottom line because it's a cash thing? It's still an expense, and expenses hurt your bottom line. The reality is you better make this guy real happy because I can almost guarantee you if he leaves there will be stuff that he did that you will have no idea to do, thus...

Someone help me out here, I can't figure out why everyone always gravitates toward mythological names for servers. At my work we used to have that from the sysadmin who came before, but it's being transitioned to more descriptive names. I just can figure out what the draw is.

Agreed on many points. Outsourcing at this point is a REALLY BAD idea. I cannot stress to you enough how much of a REALLY BAD idea this is. I currently work for a consulting firm that does outsourcing for larger companies, and I am an IT manager for other small businesses on the side. I can...

Clearly you haven't been here very long. I will personally use the [H] for what it is, a computer forum. I will lend advice and ask questions at my leisure. I firmly believe that the days of GenMay have passed, and have been summarily picked up by other forums. This in my view doesn't...
