    USB C PowerDelivery internal expansion charger cards?

    Looking to cut another wall charger, I'd like to able to charge my laptop (USB C 65W charger) using my desktop (MSI x570 Tomahawk and Corsair SF750). The mobo in-built USB C is insufficient for this, so was hoping there was a PCI board for this. Prelim searches turned up nothing, does such a...

    5.1 / 6.1 speakers

    Have a set of 6.1 speakers from a home theater in a box (Koss KS-5190 HTiB). They work great for a small room, and were my main speakers in my apt until I got a new set. The sub is plenty powerful for a small room, but is passive, so be aware your outputs. Planned on doing a conversion to...

    BestBuy Gift Certificate / Store Credit $170

    Have a $180 (well $179.41) Best Buy store credit that I don't have any plans on using any time soon. Offering for sale for $170. Works just like a gift card. PIN has not been scratched off and have a receipt to document its value. Can't really go much lower on price, because that territory...

    Complications from fresh install of Win7 on Laptop?

    Wanted to start fresh on a Acer Aspire One netbook (722-bz454) secondary to +virus scan and prior long-standing issues. Could create Acer recovery media (USB), but wanted to avoid crapware, and since I'll eventually transition it to a SSD (where recovery partition won't exist), wanted to do a...

    Do you keep your original boxes / styrofoam packaging?

    I've faithfully kept the original boxes and styrofoam / polystyrene packaging for my major electronics ( 24" monitor x 2, 42" LCD, computer cases, etc) on the premise that it would be useful when moving. sure enough, it's great for the handful of moves i've had (especially since I usually...

    Is this decent: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $65

    Newegg is selling G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $65. Is this a decent deal for an upcoming Sandy Bridge build? No rebates needed, just a coupon code. May jump on this despite the CA tax. Hate the rebates. :p

    it was easier to spend 15min in gimp drawing this than explaining it. Monitor 1 is the 24" soyo (MVA). Monitor 2 I haven't bought yet, but am thinking about picking up a 2nd 24" or 22" soyo (TN :p). gfx card is a dual DVI output x1950xt. The Projector is a Mitsubishi HC1500 I just picked up...

    Dual Monitor "Picture in picture" of other monitor?

    Not even sure what to call this feature (so my googling hasn't been effective), but, in a 2-monitor setup, can you see the second monitor in the primary display (almost like PIP). Problem is my 2nd monitor is my SDTV (for HTPC purposes) and when I make changes to it, I need to walk over to the...

    Using primary PC as HTPC

    I posted this in some other forums, but should have come here first, as the thoughts in this thread closely mirror my own intentions... Anyway, just upgraded to a new PC (a sparkly e6600 core 2 duo) and was planning on using the old one (an aged p3-933) as a HTPC after buying a tuner. However...
