    USB vs Optical input for external DAC

    I'm looking at getting a new external DAC and it has connectivity options of both optical and USB. I'm curious if one medium has advantages over the other, in terms of audio quality.

    U3011 died for no reason

    So my Dell U3011 died today for no apparent reason. The monitor still gets power, since the power LEDs still light up and the computer will recognize the connect/disconnect of the DVI connection and even the USB hub (windows sound notification). Despite all that, I get no image on the screen, no...

    What do you use to backup/archive data?

    About 10 years ago when I backed up my data across the network I used a command line program called "xxcopy". Some of the great features supported were: 1) if a file was not modified, it skipped it over and 2) if a file/folder was deleted from the source it would delete it from the destination...

I want to switch from AMD to Intel for the first time in my life :eek: but I'd also like to keep everything else so I'm looking to replace only the CPU and mobo (and RAM if necessary, please comment if so). I think I've decided to go...

    Recommendations for powering U3011

    I'm thinking about picking up the Dell U3011 but I'm not sure what I'd need to power that beauty. I don't need every setting maxed out and 30 FPS usually doesn't bother me but I'd like some sort of future proofing if possible, maybe a single card now and pair it in a year or two? Or would I have...

    ripping protected cd killed my drive?

    LiteOn DVD/RW LH-20A1S (maybe 2 years old) I tried to rip a copy of an older game today using CloneCD and I ran into something unexpected. The rip got to corrupted sectors which is not unusual, but it did take nearly 90 min to finish off the whole CD which is the longest I've ever seen. When...

    for those of you with bay reserviors

    did you pick up a single or dual bay res? i only ask because the single bay res looks to be sufficient as far as the amount of water it holds. but on the other hand, my case has 10 (yes ten) 5 1/4" bays so i could easily fit a dually bay res. also, the little fill cap seems a good idea at...
