    Motorola Bionic...

    Need advice...

    Samsung Alias 2 just croaked a week or so ago, and frankly, where I've moved to in rural VA, it simply wasn't cutting it. Inside the house, it would be constantly roaming/searching for a signal (we live on the edge of the Verizon service map). I missed a call back from a few people on the...

    Rift, levels 1-20 free

    http://www.riftgame.com/en/lite/ Play levels 1-20 for free, no time limit, no CC req'd, for new and returning players. Not a bad game, not the WoW-Killer everyone thought it'd be, but certainly something different (and similar, all the same, it -is- an MMO). It has done a few things better...

    Need a new phone...

    So I moved out to rural VA (Eastern Shore) recently. My phone gets "meh" reception in my house (Verizon). It's the Samsung Alias 2, and I -love- the e-ink and dual flip style, but the damn thing must be trying to boost its reception when it goes into roaming during the day. I'm still on my...

    Since I Hate Headphones...

    And love my Z-5500s (Yeah, yeah, I can do better with a reference system built with x y z parts, and so on).... I refuse to use a headset while gaming, unless the GF is trying to sleep or get work done. However, with BF3 out, and my desire to communicate with my teammates, I was looking...

    Lost systray icons [Solved]

    Figured I'd share this after my issues earlier getting my PC up and running. Long story short, had hardware issues that resolved themselves (weird on its own), but then i boot into windows 7, and find my systray icons were MIA. Did some google-fu, found this solution, and it worked...

    Boot problems...

    Hello all, I'm having issues booting my machine past post(one in ten boots, it gets to memcheck but stops there). I've tried removing all RAM, one stick of RAM in the first, second, third, fourth slots, detaching all hard drives and CD/DVD/BD-ROM drives, clearing CMOS, PS/2 Keyboards, and...

    FiveBelow...

    Just found one north of me about an hour, in Ocean City, MD. Decided (well, there was pretty stuff and the gf decided for us) to drop in. The store I visited had a media area with movies and console/pc games... I walked out with Bully- Scholarship Edition ($14.99 on steam) for $5 and...

    FSP Group

    Just a quick shout-out to FSP Group, specifically the Account Executive Ana Brady. A couple of days ago, I ordered a replacement power brick for a Dell E1505 that I was given by a friend to fix/keep. As a mistake of my own, I grabbed the wrong replacement brick. It was missing two tips out...

    Brr....

    Soooo I come home from work at about 3pm today, and check my temps, expecting them to be a little high since I leave my GPU and CPU folding all day. I found that I was rocking 59degC on my gtx570, and 46degC on my C2Q 9550 @ 3.83. Something must be wrong... they must be between work...

    Mixing cards for folding...

    Corsair H70 $99, $89AR, H50 $59, $49AR... FS

    Free shipping & Store pickup. Rebates kill it, I know, but still, $10 savings on the H70 and $16 on the atleast. For comparison, MC has the H70 at 109, same with the egg, and the H50 is $75 at both, with a rebate at the egg for $10 off oe either. Wow, I'm terrible. Here are the links...

    Lian Li PC-A77FB @ Microcenter, $147.45

    VERY Limited quantities, and not all MCs have them. Just picked up one of the two at my local (Westbury, NY) store. Shows one more in stock, and one at the Yonkers store too. Ginormous case, Lian Li, what more could you want for a buck fifty? Edit: As of 10pm today, none left at westbury...

    WTB: 2343BWX or 2309W

    Looking for either of these monitors, hoping to find the 2343 as new as possible, in the sub-$175 range. Unfortunately, Samsung has discontinued them, and I really like the 2048x1152 resolution, and would like to add a second(and maybe third) monitor. The Microcenter by me has one on...

    Microcenter

    Now, this may have been just an independent system builder who goes to microcenter for his parts, but i figured it might be worth mentioning, as some of us have gone there to hook up other [H] with processors on the cheap... I was at Microcenter, picking up a few things, when I overheard this...

    I've never seen this before (Firefox)

    This was on my grandparent's computer. Any idea what is going on? Their computer is so glacially slow, I didn't want to have to uninstall and reinstall for them. That red text comes up at the bottom there, and every page I go to is broken. (For example, that page is Google, and there is no...

    Idea....

    Hey guys, I'm gearing up for a 24 hour paintball game in April, and instead of mounting my Surefire as a weaponlight(since it would only illuminate me as a target), I'm thinking of rigging together some princeton tec lights that i'm getting for a decent price as an array. However, I wanted to...

    TN haters, please leave. Now that that's out of the way... Anyone find it cheaper than $199 shipped lately? Trying to find a second to replace my left display and possibly add a third... Was hoping some stores would drop it a bit (microcenter likes to pimp it at $199 like it's some...

    CoD4 Server List issues...

    Hey, I installed COD4 via Steam to my computer the other day, and soon enough, my brother wanted it too. So he got himself a copy, also via Steam. The thing is, he can't pull up any servers on the server list, whereas I get all... 15k? or whatever. We've tried port forwarding...

    SSD Raid 0 to Spanned/JBOD

    I currently have my two Supertalent 64gb drives in a raid 0 setup on an ICH10R controller. However, with them set up this way, from what I understand, I lose TRIM functionality in Windows 7, since they aren't recognized as SSDs? I was curious if backing up, then breaking the raid would...

    Q9550 E0 + GA-EP45-UD3P + 4x2gb DDR2

    Was wondering how high people have pushed this combo on air cooling? I currently have the S1283 by Xigmatek. Got it up to 3.6 stable as a rock before, at about 1.25V, and made the leap for 4.0 with a bump in voltage to 1.31, but it loaded windows without display drivers, and BSOD'd a...

    GA-EP45-UD3P RAID questions.

    I've got the gigabyte EP45-UD3P currently, and plan on keeping it until it croaks. It's a stellar board. Currently, I've got 3 SATA DVD burners attached, and three hard drives. Soon enough, I will be getting two SSDs in the mail, and once I have my copy of W7 on hand, I plan on attempting...
