Hello, I'm on the board of a relatively small pro-environment / pro-community NGO in the Florida Keys. I've been saddled with locating a person who can redesign our website, maintain and update it, as well as manage the domain and the very small amount of email traffic that goes through the...

My recent letter to GameStop, as I have grown frustrated with my inability to use their online store ever since my move; I post it here in case anyone at GameStop actually frequents this forum.

Got this email (I was an active subscriber years ago... must still be on the mailing list.) Dear Star Wars Galaxies™ Community Member, We write to you today to inform you that on December 15, 2011, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) and LucasArts will end all services (MMO and Trading Card...

So I have some Noiseblocker fans, and like most fans they have stickers right smack dab in the middle of the fan. I'm thinking of taking these off, but don't have my hands on any Goo Gone to remove any residue that they might leave behind. Has anyone tried removing these stickers, and if so...

Can I jumper-test a PSU installed in a system that is basically complete minus CPU and RAM? I'm speaking of the method of using a paperclip or similar item to jumper the 24/20 pin power cable, providing power to a portion of the system. Should I wait for the remaining components before...

I know there are a few users interested in this case, or users of the RV02 who might be curious, so I'm duplicating my post regarding my experience with the RV03 to date. Sorry for the poor quality images. My wife has the 'good' camera. Planned build: RV03 Antec HCP-1200 -> You have...

I'm trying to sort out my FP header for my new Silverstone RV03 case to work with the Gigabyte Sniper variant of their Killer line of motherboards. I'm unsure if I've got this right, so some confirmation would be great if anyone has any insight. The Sniper's FP audio header reads as...

Hello, So my new 580s have mini-HDMI connectors. My LG W3000 has an DVI-D connector w/ HDCP. The video cards come with v1.4a Mini-HDMI to HDMI cables, which I can then connect to an adapter or HDMI to DVI-D Cable. Does it matter if this adapter or adapter/cable is 1.4a? I know you need...

EDIT: Thanks for all of the input. I decided on an Eee PC as a low-power solution to this issue. Read below for the original post: Hello, I'm not at all familiar with passive cooling, but my mom needs a passively cooled system. Ideally everything should be passively cooled, case, GPU...

Hello, I'm getting ready to put in a different motherboard, install a 980-X and want to try out the Indigo Extreme. For those not familiar with it, you have to run your CPU under load with no cooling to heat the material, which lets it 'reflow' and make a perfectly even layer across your...

I'm getting ready to install a fan controller in my system, and have a new Gentle Typhoon 1850 RPM fan I want to control with it. The GT fan has a 3 pin connector. It also came with an optional accessory: it has a 3-pin female connector for the fan, which is connected to both a male and...

I wanted to post a short review about the Sonos multi-room audio system; I've been using it for about six months now, and I'm very pleased. I live in the Caribbean, and I have concrete walls and floors that make it quite a chore to run wiring for conventional wired home audio. I was looking...

I'm considering upgrading the fans on my 4x120mm Koolance EHX-1320 unit. Currently they're the stock fans, which I believe are the FAN-12025MBK. I'm looking for something the same size and depth, but something that can push more air and/or is quieter. I'm not sure how much difference a...

Me: Posted: April 27, 2010 @ 2:48 PM LaCie Customer Support: Jesse C. Posted: May 4, 2010 @ 11:59 AM What procedure is he referring to? So the drive is just exceptionally noisy? I'm sitting across the room from the thing, next to my main rig and a wall-mounted...

If you use crossfire and BioShock 2, can you give me feedback no how it is performing for you? Do you get artifacts, corruption, or screen flashing at all? My personal experience has been that I need to disable Catalyst AI, and thus run the game on one GPU, in order to get rid of screen...

Hello, While I was adjusting the alarm temp thresholds on the RP-1000 the display went and stayed blank. The RP-1000 is connected to a PC4-1000 (4 x 120mm), and now all fans are at max speed and I can't adjust them. It is quite loud. Is there some way to fix this or reset the...

2010-04-28 Update: Using 10.3a (and presumably later drivers) multiple monitor flashing in 2D mode has been fixed - UNLESS you enable ATI Overdrive, which apparently doesn't work well in 2D mode using multiple monitors. Problem: Using multiple monitors, Radeon 5xxx series video cards, and...

(Yes, I am recycling some of my other recent review, as appropriate.) Hello, I recently acquired a second computer by Puget Systems. I have experience with a few other boutique builders, including Falcon Northwest and Cyberpower, so I've experienced a broad spectrum of quality and...

Hello, I recently acquired a computer by Puget Systems. I have experience with a few other boutique builders, including Falcon Northwest and Cyberpower, so I've experienced a broad spectrum of quality and customization. Puget Systems created a great product for me and will have my business...

I know nothing about non-PC speakers. I know nothing about receivers. My wife might be persauded to let me put in a 5.1 surround system in our living room but the speakers should be modestly sized and stylish. I'm thinking something with a 'woody' look, which would match our furniture...

Hello, I have a DSL router/bridge connected to a 4-port & wireless router. The DSL router was set up basically as a bridge; its IP was 192.168.0.1, and I had the 4-port wireless router set up in the DSL router's DMZ at 192.168.0.2. I turned off the firewall on the DSL router and...

This post is primarily for gamers; if you watch movies or listen to music much more than game on your PC, then you can skip it. Gamers, read on: If you game, and you have games that use EAX or plan to play games with EAX, then EAX will be your driving decision maker. EAX is usable on Vista...

I've been able to run these demos in the past, but at least as of July 13th, I couldn't. Every demo fails, some with error messages. Is anyone else seeing this with their demos? I'm talking about the Dark Physics demos that come with the driver set. It looks like the demo might be...

If you use SLI video cards and are experiencing high CPU usage due to deferred procedure calls (DPCs) and interrupts, it MAY be caused by the PEG Link mode trying to OC your video cards beyond what may be able to handle. Try setting PEG Link to normal; I had 30% or more CPU cycles being taken...

I had a frustrating experience recently, and thought I'd share. After a power outage I noticed that one of my Vista machines (installed since release) lost its BIOS settings - its about 4 years old, so I guess the CMOS battery needs replacing. To get it up and running I reset some of the...

Hello and thanks for reading, I have a DSL PPPoA modem/router from my ISP. I'm currently networking using a hub, but I want to replace the hub with a 4-port ethernet router w/ wireless (already purchased and on the way.) To get the two devices working together best, I was thinking of...
