I upgraded my HTPC's video card from an old Power Cooler 6450 to this EVGA GeForce GT 740 2GB. Swapping out the 2 video cards and installing the low profile adapter was simple. But once I fired up my computer, the video card's fan was very audible, I joke it's like a jet engine! It's much...

I read that Microsoft has the Windows 10 ISO available for download through this tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I want to upgrade my HTPC's Windows 7 that's on an HDD, which has the Windows 10 upgrade icon in the system tray, to a new SSD as a fresh...

I happened to catch this article on TH. Too bad it took so long, but at least, us PC gamers will get the game that our console gamer counterparts have been enjoying for the past year.

I bought a new video card recently and received the postcard key for the upcoming "Watch Dogs" PC game, that will be available for download on 5/27/14. I don't have Heatware that many have, but here's my Ebay profile: http://www.ebay.com/usr/beowulf747 Edit: Sold

I saw this deal on SD. It retails for $20, so I figure $5 is a pretty good deal on it. No idea how good the game is on Steam, but I figure I'd post it here in case some of you don't check SD.

I saw this on SD the other day: Free Game: Rush Bros (Steam Key) @GMG. Here are the details posted there:

I recently upgraded my Power Color AMD 7770 video card to an Asus NVidia GTX 770. It's the first time I went between brands on a computer. I uninstalled the AMD drivers and then installed the NVidia ones after I swapped out the cards. I ran into an issue with the main PCI-e slot (x16) with...

This is probably a warm deal at best, but the first time in a while I've seen a new (not refurb or open box) GTX 770 for (just barely) under $300, after the $10 GC with free shipping. ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card...

I happened to notice this when browsing Newegg for a video card upgrade for my HTPC. I'm currently running an Asus 4550 (512 MB) and saw this deal for a 2-generation newer card that is also low in power consumption. For anyone looking for a video card for an HTPC, I figure you can't go wrong...

I was looking for a USB hub in anticipation of getting a new monitor that wouldn't have one (vs. my 24" Dell which does) and stumbled upon this product, that seems to have pretty good reviews on Newegg and Amazon. Tek Republic TUH-300 USB 3.0 4-Port Hub...

1/4/14 Edit: The CPU and motherboard have been sold. I'm selling 3 new computer components. I'd like to package them all together as a single sale. But if not, I'm willing to separate the third one from the first two. The first two will not be sold separately, i.e., they come as a package...

On SD, I saw that there's a 10% off coupon for Newegg purchases: SAVE10SEP25Z I wanted a cheap and reliable USB 3.0 flash drive, looked through NE's selection, and found this one (model: AUV128-32G-RBE): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211762 It has good...

I got this from SlickDeals. I know Newegg is a bit of dirty word here, but for those who shop there, you may be interested in some of these deals. Stock is running out quickly for some of these items. Free After Rebate: Select Items from HDMI Cables, Case Fan, Computer Cases, PC Games...

I read this comprehensive test of web browsers on Tom's Hardware: Web Browser Grand Prix: Chrome 20, Opera 12, Firefox 13. They also test IE9 and Safari 5.1.7. Any comments about the test setup and results? Disclosure: I currently use Firefox 13.x.

This is a pretty good article on TomsHardware.com: Roundup: Nine GeForce GTX 460 1 GB Boards Benchmarked. The following 9 GTX 460 (1 GB) video cards are compared: – Asus ENGTX460 DirectCU TOP/2DI/1GD5 – ECS Black Series GTX 460 NBGTX460-1GPI-F – EVGA GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked 1024...

Long story short, I traced my video problems to my video card and confirmed it's not my monitor. I have an EVGA 6800 GT that has a lifetime warranty. I removed it, air sprayed the dust bunnies out, and reseated it, but the video problems were still present. I replaced it w/ a friend's spare...

I read about it on SD. Here's the link: "15% OFF your in-store purchase, excluding all computers." The usual exclusions apply. Please post your hot deals here. Edit: Coupon with 4/6/10 expiration: http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBLoPl6B7SHGCB8GdHGD8IMcBck/coupon.html?n=209

I came across this article on ZDNet: 7 reasons to stick with Windows XP. I know most of you will diss it. As someone who has both Windows XP and 7, I'd tend to agree. But the author does have a few valid points. That said, if someone has a choice between XP and 7 and cost isn't a big...

I'm looking to buy a new computer for my folks. They had a Dell from several years ago, but it's been pretty unreliable. I'm considering another Dell, although I'm open to HP and a couple other brands. My budget is $500, and for that, I'd like it to include a 20" LCD as well. I haven't seen...

I'll first warn the readers that this is going to be a long post. I'm including a Cliffs Note at the end. I wanted to upgrade my HTPC from 32-bit Windows Vista Home Basic to 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium for a couple reasons, namely to go from 32-bit to 64-bit and also b/c Vista was...

I'm running Snapstream Beyond TV 4.9.x on my HTPC, which has 32-bit Windows Vista on it. I bought the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD and will soon put it on there. I was thinking of going 64-bit rather than 32-bit, to make use of my computer's 4 GB RAM. Then I came across this: So while it does...

Yes, this is sort of intended as tongue-in-cheek, but for someone who wants what may arguably be the best pair of headphones money can buy, check out this deal. Grado – PS1000 – Professional Series Headphones $1,695.00 with free shipping. Do I hear "In for 10"? :p Here's a review...

A colleague bought a new computer but without a monitor, to replace his ~10 y/o computer that has a CRT monitor. (Yes, it's an ancient HP, I saw it the other day.) He wants a new monitor rather than use that old tiny CRT. His budget is $150 firm. I told him he could get a really nice 20"...

I saw on SlickDeals that Newegg is selling the Transcend 8GB Micro SDHC Flash Card (Model TS8GUSDHC6) for $14.99 shipped. (No tax in most states.) It's the cheapest price I've seen for an 8 GB microSDHC card with Class 6 speed. It's got great reviews. :cool: You can further sweeten the deal...

As mentioned here, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 has been officially released and is now available. :cool: Given that this is on HardOCP.com, and in the front page news forum, I hardly see the need to repost it here. -Oldie

As mentioned by bubut29 and brisar on SD: TechSmith is offering a free download of SnagIt 7.2.5 screen capture/image editing software for filling out a simple registration form. Thanks bubut29. Click here and enter your details Check your email for registration code. Note, their servers may...

Congrats to AMD! :cool: AMD/ATI Beats Nvidia to the 1 GHz GPU Milestone

This article compares Windows XP vs. Windows Vista vs. Windows 7 in terms of features. I'm copying and pasting the intro paragraphs. It's odd how Microsoft went 5 years between XP and Vista but only 2 years between Vista and 7 (assuming 7 is released this year, as they say it will be).

I saw this deal on SD. I don't know if they're worth it, but figured I'd pass this deal along. $1 Games * Maelstrom * Atlantis Evolution * Curse: The Eye Of Isis * Thrillville: Off The Rails * Horizons: Empire of Istaria * Garfield - A Tale of Two Kitties...

Many people bad mouth rebates on this forum, and often rightly so. But, I want to share a positive rebate experience. I bought a Hauppauge TV tuner in Feb. from Newegg that had a $30 MIR associated with it. I sent it in and figured I'd have to wait the usual 8-12 weeks. I literally got the...

I came across this article that some of you may find interesting. So far so good for Windows 7. Windows 7 build 7048 vs. Windows 7 beta 1 vs. Vista vs. XP performance shootout - which is best? I'm copying and pasting the intro below. Check out the link for the results.

I recently equipped an HTPC with an Asus ATI 4550 video card that has native HDMI. I connected that output to the 1st HDMI input of my Onkyo TX-SR605 receiver. It then outputs (via HDMI) to my DLP HDTV (57" Mitsubishi). My HTPC is configured to go to sleep a little while after it's idle and...

I noticed today's Newegg Shell Shocker is: Logitech Cordless Desktop S520 920-000922 Black USB Cordless Compact Keyboard and Mouse Combo - Retail They're selling it for $47.99 before a $10 MIR and free shipping. I bought this keyboard and mouse combo a few weeks ago and enjoy it (like I do...

Here are my 3 Hauppauge TV tuners. :cool: I have the USB one connected to my HTPC and it pulls in OTA HDTV just fine. :D

My Dell HTPC came w/ Windows Vista, which is what I'm still using. I bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950 TV tuner (USB2 connected) and am using SnapStream Beyond TV for the DVR app. If my HTPC goes into sleep or hibernate state, will it wake up automatically to record scheduled TV shows? Or do...
