Hi I am ready / eager to build a new PC. As everyone knows, the new Ryzen CPU's, AMD GPU's and NVIDIA GPU's are all out of stock everywhere unless you count scalpers. I am not going to, under any circumstance, buy from scalpers and feed that tactic. I'd rather wait a year as much as I don't...

I have a 250GB Sammy 840 as my OS drive for a little over a year now. I was getting an endless bootup then bluescreen then it would go and make the drive look to correct errors on next bootup, and just cycle back and forth. I figured it was just the OS that got corrupted (win 8.1). So I...

I currently have an HTPC (W764) with a separate WHS (old version) attached with 6 X 2TB HD's. Set up has been fine for a while, living happily. However the server is a power hog (Q6600). I initially thought I would do a bunch of server type stuff with it, but the reality is it only...

Hello, I have been contemplating building a HTPC based off of the AMD E-350 platform. My pricing out is roughly $350 depending on case / hard drive I use. I also see that there are Zotac boxes that are effectively the same price. Then I also saw this: Amazon.com: Acer AS5253-BZ602...

I have an older buffalo wireless g router in my basement, along with the cable modem, a 1000 MBS switch, and my server. I have wired (cat 6) connections to several rooms throughout my house. Since the wireless is in basement, the signal is not always great upstairs and I would also like to...

My contract is up on my current phone (samsung i760 - WM 6.1). My phone is paid for via work (full plan and hardware paid for). However I am limited in terms of what they will allow and support. I can get stuff on any carrier, but I prefer Verizon as that is what my family is on plus I am...

I bought this: http://www.svc.com/ocz700gxssli-b.html For the following build: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128398 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103649 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231275 1...

http://www.sharewarediscount.com There's a shareware program I was interested in purchasing on the site. I can't seem to find any reviews as to whether the site was trustworthy. It has a program 40% off of what the company's website offers. I was trying to determine if there is a catch...

What am I missing? This seems like a very good deal for a BB or any other Brick and Morter store. Seems like a good deal for price. I need a laptop for my mother in law - basic internet needs. Just want it relatively snappy. Her 1.2 GHz AMD Thunderbird pc is toast. I figure this should...

My parents need a wireless router and wireless adapters for their 2 PC's. They only thing they will do is surf the net on high speed internet. Holy cow, after reading user reviews for the last 3 days, practically every router has the same comments (it drops signal, it doesn't work, it...

I have a TV on a wall with the back of it being the garage. I have my AV equipment in the garage connected to the TV with all working fine. AV equipment generally has higher tolerances for temperature,being that often times that type of equipment is placed within cabinets, etc. Each piece is...

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. My parents live several states away and we have some kids that they would like to "see" more often. So we collectively thought webcams were a good idea. My requirements are as follows: at least 640 by 480 resolution - 30fps (can anything more...

I have comcast cable, a motorola modem, a buffalo router - running to 2 computers, a server, and an xbox. Been using this stuff in place with no changes for at least 8 months - no problems. The internet when out last night but the LAN was still good. So I reset the modem (unplugged for 5...

So I just bought one of the holiday xbox 360 pro bundles from Gamestop for $299 (with lego indiana jones and panda). I figured since the holiday bundles should have been manufactured relatively recently - or at least at some point this year, I would have thought I would get at least a falcon...

I have the beta installed and its been great. Looking forward to update to the official one. Am I going to need to uninstall the beta before I update later this week? To uninstall do I just do it through "add remove programs"? Any body do this yet? I'm actually more worried about...

Hello, thanks for reading... I'm trying to figure out what could cause something like this... I have an MSI K8N Neo platinum 754 board with a 3200+ chip. It worked well for a couple years when I had ownership. I was overclocking it (farily modest... I think I had it at 2.4 vs. stock 2.2...

I bought a Cheapo AMD M2 Mobo (PC Chips A11G nforce 6100 chipset) for a "just surf the internet" computer. I've built around 8 computers in my life but never experienced a DOA (I guess I am lucky). But before I start the RMA process, I'd like to know if there is a way I can check for...

I bought everything for my new build, which I am going to undergo tonight. I have a watercooling setup and am upgrading from an OC'd opteron 170. I did a lot of research and went with the build below. My question relates to FSB of ram when I start to overclock. I know this is pathetic...

I just wanted to publicly thank MisterX for the very nice Pimeta headphone amp that he built for me. Here is a link to the pics of the amp. I have this matched up with Senn 595's and the X-Fi Platinum. pics of amp Everything sounds great, although I was very disappointed with the...

I just spent almost all day putting together my new rig. Then I put the water in and my radiator has a hole in it. AHHHH! :mad: The only problem is I really don't know if I did it or not. Question the fins in the radiator are super super thin, (the side to side ones). I didn't think...

Lowest price I could find: HD595 This is much cheaper than most places which are around $200 - $235. Am I missing something? Could these be the old 120 ohm instead of the new 50? I always get nervous when I see things priced low (and seem like a good deal). What do you guys think?

Everyone bashes the X-connect PSU's and everything else Ultra because the X-conects had some problems. However they have recently released (read in the last few months) a second generation of their X-finity series (both 500 and 600 watt). Anyway according to the 4 reviews I read, they all...
