I'm going to preface by saying this is for my friend believe me or not.
My friend's laptop is showing it's age working from home. I told him I'd help him build a new PC, if he wanted to go that route. He took me up on my offer. We have all the parts, we're going to build it this Friday. I...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly web browsing and office programs. But I might want to play games in the future. So Id want a mid tier GPU. I want to try to build a quiet PC. I might try water cooling if its easy to install and fits in my...
1) What will you be doing with this PC?
A lot of video processing. Taking video files off my video camera, editing them and uploading them to youtube. Some gaming, would like to play current games on at least medium settings.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included...
My headphone jack is starting to fail. I'm out of warranty and fixing it is out of the question since I have to take the whole thing apart. I'm not really keen on doing that especially if I do all that work to only find out my basic soldering skills can't fix it.
I have to take apart...
I tried reading the stickies in this section and the FAQ on the AVS forum, but I still don't know if I should build an HTPC or if I should get an A/V receiver? Is there some basic tutorial I can read that compares these 2 devices?
My family just bought an HDTV (Sharp Aquos) and are thinking...
I'm using IE8, and have no plans to switch to firefox. So i'd like to keep the responses to helping me with this in IE.
Basically at one point I had it so all flash on a webpage was disabled. All that would appear was a grayish box, with an "x" in the corner. The box would be the size of...

At first I thought this was an okay idea, since it would eliminate the standard build "enough strength/dex to wear equip, rest in vita." But this doesn't allow for more exotic builds like glass cannon characters or battle mages.
Your thoughts?
I recently built a new rig and put 64 bit Vista on it. Sadly I cannot get my previous scanner to work. Canon does not have working Vista drivers for that model. Any recommendations? Is there some hacked driver that I can use?
I'm trying to play an enhanced DVD and I get this message
Should I download a free dvd decoder or just suck it up and pay whatever it is for a decent dvd decoder? Which program would you recommend? I'd like to just d/l whatever will work and not give me any problems in the future...
I just built my first computer with 64bit Vista Home Premium. Specs here.
My new computer with Vista installed on it is going to replace an old Dell one with windows 2000 (on an IDE drive). I would like to keep all the data on the windows 2000 hard drive.
What would be the best way to...
I tried googling for this solution but came up empty. I also tried this network magic program but it turned out to be a pain in the ass to set up. So i'm coming to you guys to hopefully set this up.
I have a d-link wireless router wbr-2310.
The computer that has the printer is connected...
My Father has an aging Dell (7 years old) that he wants to replace. He liked the idea of me building him one with rather than buying from Dell again (though we've had no major problems with our Dell machines). This would be my first build too, so i need a little bit of help and encouragement...
