    Post your Mouse and Keyboard pics

    BEHOLD! Original G5 and a 15$ keyboard. After spilling a coke in my last 15$ keyboard I don't think I could stomach buying pretty much anything in this thread... Also, I want to get a new mouse but this G5 refuses to die.

    What video card has served you the longest before upgrading?

    Nvidia GTS 250 1gb... still running it since right around the time it was released a few years ago. Don't plan to upgrade for a while.

    iPod Classic Battery Replacement OEM vs Extended

    To clarify, I bought an EforCity battery in like 2009 and I've used it for the past 4 years and it still holds a great charge. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QEBXEW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Obviously this one is for an ipod video and not your classic, but I figured you...

    The Removable Battery Thread - now with more poll!

    I like being able to replace the batteries in my devices, having had 3 batteries in my laptop and two in my droid incredible. However, I have both the asus transformer prime and the LG G2 which lack removable batteries... the hardware outweighed the desire for the removable battery.

    PSU life cycle

    I checked again and I guess it's not as old as I thought, bought it early 2009. Antec Earthwatts 500. Yeah I figured that most people just ended up cycling through hardware often enough to not have to worry about actively replacing their psu due to age.

    PSU life cycle

    Is there a good rule of thumb for when to replace a power supply? Or do most people just run theirs until it dies? I replaced my first PSU because it failed to run after 2 years, but I've had my second one in this system for about six years now I think. This one appears to be running just fine...

    OSX Mavericks? Anyone upgrade yet?

    I just got my hands on a late 2008 metal unibody Macbook (NOT pro) with 2 ghz C2d and 2 gigs of ram. I know that the apple website says I can update all the way to Mavericks, but do you think that will significantly decrease the performance of the laptop compared to let's say snow leopard?

    Help me choose my 1st smart phone? (Mostly for efficiency/productivity)

    If you're going to be spending quite a bit of time looking at the screen I would definitely try to go for something with a larger screen or with a phone that someone says is easy on the eyes. If I spent too long looking at the screen on my droid incredible I would literally have trouble...

    Hey everyone, thanks for the input, I grabbed a LG G2 and I'm so happy with it!

    Deciding between phones

    As far as I can tell the price may say 140 on amazon, but once you tack on the fees associated with verizon it's essentially the same as buying it from Verizon themselves

    Deciding between phones

    Carrier isn't my choice, I'm actually still on my family's phone plan and my dad gets a discount for the monthly rate from his job. I hadn't even looked at the G2, but that seems like a very nice phone. One question that I've been curious about is why are Amazon's prices almost a solid $100...

    Deciding between phones

    Hey all, I'm currently still carrying a Droid Incredible and I think it's about time I upgrade. I have two different decisions that I'm currently looking in to. I'm on Verizon, and these are what I'm looking at: ~$100: Samsung S3 vs. Droid Mini ~$200: Samsung S4 vs. HTC One I would prefer to...

    Can iPad Burns DVD?

    OP, depending on your needs I'm pretty sure it's possible to connect flash drives using the camera connection kit cable to your ipad, which you would have to jailbreak in order to get it all set up to read flash drives. If you can pony up for a cable and flash memory you could have this as an...

    Asus Transformer charger/accessories?

    Have you tried talking with ASUS at all? I'm not certain what all is covered under the warranty but I would assume that it is a defective product and maybe they can help you out.

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    I fixed my droid incredible problems by rooting and going to skyraider the day that my BT no longer worked ;-) I also encountered the low space problem as well, which I had before the GB update but the update made it so I could no longer clear the correct cache. The day that my tablet ceases...

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    That is quite unfortunate. Have you been able to rectify the issue? If there's one thing that has put me off android it would be how all updates are required. Aka, if you don't root your device and such you are forced to accept updates that might brick it. In my particular case my droid...

    Asus Transformer charger/accessories?

    Sucks about your charger! I have yet to buy a spare so I can't really help you there, but I was looking at the links and wanted to make sure that you noticed the 6' cable is just an extension (aka powered usb) and not an actual charging cable for the tablet.

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Received mine from Amazon. A new firmware update is out as of today, I read that it's supposed to help alleviate WiFi and gps related issues as well as increase battery life/ performance. Of course who knows by how much. Seeing as how I don't have any issues connecting to WiFi (and apparently...

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Honestly I'm not sure that wifi strength is an issue. My tablet actually got higher scores on a speedtest on several occasions than my laptop or phone connected to wifi. Whenever I'm on campus I never have wifi reception problems, which I think would be the place most likely to have issues...

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Depending on your definition of safe that could be right around when the hardware is obsolete. Honestly it's not like asus is going to make any big changes to the product... are you just asking when will there be consistent stock?

    How strong is a Blackberry Playbook's screen?

    I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Leaving it in a bag can put more weight on a screen than your cat. When I got my tablet I treated it like china as well but they're quite tough!

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    I just received my keyboard dock for my tablet and I'm really impressed, it seems to work really well. If you've been debating whether it's worth getting one I would say that it really does complete the package.

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    My dad has the original tablet which i have used quite a bit over the past half year. I would say the tf201 is noticeably more powerful and i haven't had any FCs while using the stock browser with multiple tabs. Have you always had lockup issues with your tablet or did they occur after you had...

    A Note to MFGS: Stop shielding cables

    Up until this point I thought that braiding cables actually made them less susceptible to tangling... My G5 has never tangled and my girlfriend got headphones last year that are supposedly anti tangle and they were braided as well...

    Home printer ink vs laser

    I use an inkjet all the time for college, seems to work just fine. If you're not printing that often it would probably make sense to buy a cheaper printer, which usually means you're going to want an inkjet.

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Finally managed to order a champagne keyboard dock from newegg! I was feeling very accomplished for catching it right as they came in stock but it's like six hours later and they still have stock :P

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Large amounts of storage gives us hardcore desktop users some room to breathe; my music collection alone is 65 gigs and it would be nice to be able to have that with me for extended trips.

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    I'm trying to make my TF201 a good replacement for my laptop, and in doing so I need a good way to print from this thing. I have a printer connected to my main pc through usb and I can print to it from my laptop over the network. Any idea what the best way to print to that printer would be...

    Definitely a pleasant surprise to get ICS, there was a camera firmware update as well. Edit: i think the contrast of the screen changed with the update, anyone else?

    Transformer Prime, when and how much?

    Just received my tf201 champagne 32gb from amazon, pretty awesome. Trying to figure out how/where to get a dock for this thing. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. First impressions, it feels well made. A lot of people were complaining online about the build quality but all of the seams...

    Dual vs Quad for gaming

    I'm not quite sure I understood this, if the 925 gets higher framerates, then what is the point of getting something that has a higher clock speed?
