I'm shopping Thinkpads and am between the P50s and the P50. Leaning toward the P50s primarily for battery life with a secondary consideration for weight, and I don't really need the extra oomph or expense of the P50 for what it's going to be used for. Just before last weekend I had the chance...

Probably not the most lucrative forum when searching for a windows phone, but I'm looking to buy a Nokia 950 xl :D Please PM me with any offers.

I migrated my home server from whs 2011 to Server 2012 r2 a couple weeks ago and have been dealing with what I assume is a side effect of being on a domain now. If I'm on my computer working, and leave it idle long enough that the monitor goes to sleep, as soon as I wake the monitor again the...

So I've been piecing together two new rigs for myself and my gf. My ssd arrived with a good sized dent on the underside. I haven't installed it yet to test it, thinking I'll just see how it goes installing windows on it once I put everything together (hopefully tonight) and then check it out...

I'm about to hit the bunk, but wanted to throw this out on the big wide web before I do. I've put this off for a long time, but I'm considering getting a colorimeter. I don't really know much about them though. I'm hoping I can get some advice and lots of opinions. The girlfriend and I both...

Alright, not sure if this is the greatest place to seek help with this, so I'll also take recommendations of where else to seek answers. I installed and have been toying with Lightroom. I used it to convert all my Olympus Raw files into DNG's with the original raws embedded to reduce clutter...

I received a Dell Latitude e6410 that I had snatched for a good deal earlier this week. It needs a little bit of cleaning, but other than that it's in great shape. I'm thinking of getting a copy of Win 7 with my student account and doing a fresh install. I just wanna make sure I won't have...

I've been toying with the idea of getting a SteelSeries QCK+ mat and was about to pull the trigger when I measured the size it would be on my desk. It won't be long enough. Is there anything similar that's large enough to set both a mouse and keyboard on it? Thanks.

As the title says, for anyone who's interested and doesn't already have it. http://www.impulsedriven.com/rfguerilla

I'm considering getting a multimeter to have handy for testing new psu's in the future. I took a link to this http://www.web-tronics.com/indmmwrspcin.html from an old thread in an overclocking forum google delivered to me, but does anyone here have any recommendations for a reliable one? Cheap...

Well, I've currently been using my main desktop/gaming rig to act as a file server to the home theater and girlfriend's computer. I'm thinking of building a dedicated server rig for all our file/media handling. Right now I'm waiting for bulldozer to release to decide if I want to jump on that...

I'm looking to maybe upgrade my main rig when bulldozer finally releases and shuffle some parts between a couple computer to maybe put together a media server. I have a couple parts I've been meaning to sell but never got around to. PM me with any offers/questions. FS: EVGA 8800gts g92...

I have a small collection of HD Dvd's I'd like to rip to my hard drive. I ripped a couple using anydvd to folder format, but I'd like to remove menus and special features-keeping only the main film/hd audio/and subtitles. I know how to do this using tsmuxer for blu-ray's, but I assume the same...

I had posted about this problem in the Router Recommendations Thread after buying a new WNDR3700 recommended to me. In my final post in that thread I said I thought it had resolved itself, but apparently it hasn't. I'm loving the router, or would be if I could solve one repeating issue...

Title pretty much sums it up. Has anyone used it? Know if it's legit? etc.

Up/downgraded to a more portable laptop so I'm selling my Lenovo G560. Essentially brand new; it has been opened and set up, but I've only had it about a month and it was hardly used during this time...

Alright, so I'm upgrading my rig to ddr3 and am3. Currently I've applied hard brakes to my trigger finger to refrain from purchasing a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H. However, I stumbled across the bit of info that the upcoming bulldozer cpu's will not work with the current am3 socket, but that the...

Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe - $25 shipped? SOLD (need to perform a cursory scan for accessories, but I should still have the wireless antannae to include) DFI UT 790fx-M2R - $70 plus shipping Edit GAH! Heat is fadingphoenix

Mirror's Edge is on sale through Impulse until the 14th for 50% off making it 10 doll hairs. Barbie won't go bald tonight! :D at least not completely. http://www.impulsedriven.com/mirrorsedge This game piqued my curiousity when it came out, but I never got it and haven't had any experience...

I've been casually looking for a tv for a living room htpc for a while now, and I've been having a small crisis over whether to go plasma or lcd. I feel that plasma is somewhat overhyped (or is it that lcd just gets too bad of a rep?), though I'm not denying that they have a superior and more...

I've been experimenting with my first attempts at ripping my movies to my computer with handbrake. Mostly I've just been testing and playing with ripping one scene at a time to try out different settings and get a feel for everything. I'm aiming to use Media Center for all my viewing once I...

First time posting in the hotdeals section, so I'm sorry if it's a dud :p It's $9.99 on GFWL I'm tempted to grab it but haven't made up my mind yet.

I'm building a computer for a friend using this motherboard/ram/cpu combination http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128392 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227316 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103724 So far I've been...

This might be a partly pointless thread, but that's what results from restlessness :cool: I gues I'm mostly just curious for a general opinion. I've never bothered messing with it before, but I'm going to be installing windows 7 on a 500gb spinpoint and have been trying to decide if I just...

I'm selling a couple parts from a build I recently upgraded. :cool: Currently I am on vacation and won't be able to ship any items of interest until next week. Items remaining below Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi - $50 shipped Heat under Fading Phoenix Ebay under...

Has anyone on here used a Rosewill RNX-G1 wireless adapter in Windows 7? I had checked for drivers before installing 7 so I figured I wouldn't have any real issues with my girlfriends computer but whenever I installed the 64-bit driver for 7 from rosewill's site the system tells me it couldn't...

Alright so I ordered a 2707 monitor last December from Dell and recieved it very early in January. I'm gonna say first sadly, that I love this monitor. Albeit, one little thing; I get it out of the box set it up and realize after it gets picture, right in the center of the screen there'a...

So this is my first time trying to sell anything on here, so forgive any awkwardness. I'm selling an Ht Omega Claro Plus+. It works perfect because it is perfect :D. I have the original box and manual. The only thing not included is the cheap little optical cable included with the retail...

I think I'm going to try and sell my 150gb raptor and buy a new hdd to install windows 7 on (I know it says 7 in my sig; it was either write it there early or forget and never do it). I've been tantalizing myself with the idea of getting an ssd, but I'm trying to talk myself out of it since...

I think this is going to be more of a software or registry issue, but I thought I would try here as well. I recently had a series of wacky experiences with my two disc drives that I'm assuming resulted either from software I installed or something going wrong when I changed the autoplay...

I wasn't really sure which section to put this under, but recently something screwed up my disc drives. I dunno if it was software I installed or if something happened when I changed the autoplay settings. I've gotten pretty much everything else back to normal by doing searches for similar...

It gets hot here in the summer, so I thought this year I might look into setting my computer up with a better cooling system. I've never done water cooling before so I've been reading about setting up a system in various threads on here and on toms hardware. I thought while I was trying to...

I'm just posting a general query. I was eyeing up optical toslink cables the other day and the vast differences in prices. Anyway, I found myself wondering, are more expensive cables like the Monster brand cables actually worth the premium they cost?

I wasn't exactly sure what thread to post this under, so opted for the general hardware. My father built a computer about a week after thanksgiving and in the time since he has had two wireless logitech mice mysteriously stop functioning. The first one shortly after the computer had been put...

Has anyone used both or been able to compare a 2709 to the previous 2707? I have a chance to get either and can save money getting the 2707, but I'm not sure if there's any substantial difference between panel/buil quality.

Okay, so my friend called me, saying his girlfriend is recieving a blue screen error at start-up on her Dell XP computer after installing windows updates. They were'nt able to tell me what update/s were installed, but the error message they recieve is 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xf79dd8e3...

I wasn't sure exactly what subject to start this thread under, but my main problem is with the processor. A while back I replaced the athlon in my Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe and upgraded to a 9850 phenom. Ever since I've had problems starting the computer. On a cold start the system will take...

I'm currently running on a 64bit Vista install, and I've been thinking about creatin a partition for an install of linux as well. I was originally planning on just a normal dual-boot, but I've found myself reading about and considering a virtual machine. I'm not sure which method I would like...

Okay, so I know very very very little about routers. That being said, I'm sharing an apartment with my girlfriend and another roommate, we're all three-waying on a Belkin Wirless G Plus Mimo Router (Part # F5D9230-4). Two of us are on wireless and the other is connected directly to the router...

Alright, so I have a single 512mb 8800gts set up in an Asus M2N-32 SLI Deluxe motherboard with a Phenom 9850. I've been trying to determine for a while if my card has been acting funky or I've either just been having issues elsewhere or expecting too much from it. Anyway, I finally got a...
