    sound card or usb DAC for ~$100

    If you're willing to wait. FiiO's E17 just came out and will run about $140. For a little less: Desktop use only look at the E10 (~$75) or if you need portable E7 (~$85)/iBasso d-zero(~$100). Mike from Headfonia has some comprehensive reviews on all of these and how they affect the sound.

    Massive Static Issues!

    danman, yeah I'm recognizing that it's not a software issue (still hoping a reformat can magically fix it). I'm not too worried about the front panel connector as I'm trying to use my E10 as a DAC. It's receiving even more noise than the front panel connector regardless of which USB port I...

    Massive Static Issues!

    My computer has been putting out slight static from the front port for ages now. I always chalked it up to my case being old and cheap given that the rear port directly from the motherboard didn't put out static. Recently, I've upgraded to a FiiO E10 USB DAC/Amp. When I'm using this...

    160 character text limit on Evo? How do you get around this?

    That's what they're getting at; they're trying to prevent the phone from breaking it up into groups like that. That being said, tell him to try sending an MMS. For me (I'm on Verizon) the MMS limit is 1000 characters.

    Seidio makes crap products they don't want to support - buyer beware

    From what I've read in forums centered around the Incredible: Seidio lies about their capacity ratings, has the tendency to just drop promised products with very poor excuses, and while trying to sound very reasonable in the end will disappear for a time and just refuse service. That being said...

    Asus monitor from Newegg headache

    Check out FedEx if you're unhappy with the pricing. They've done me well recently [especially with oversize compared to UPS].

    Post your "Ghetto Mod" pics

    That is true, in this case both of these were on a ghetto budget but came out extremely well done. However with that being said, I believe the old food stamp system (that isn't really in place anymore) was based on how ghetto the result actually looked. Anyways, to the two most recent: good...

    Is the Incredible avalible in stores right now?

    If you really want the Incredible I suggest you go to Bestby or look on Amazon so hopefully you can grab the phone before they switch from Samsung's AMOLED display to Sony's Super TFT display. Otherwise, a store MIGHT have one or else you'll be waiting for a while given that it's on backorder.

    ATT: no good phones?

    HTC Aria is being released tomorrow (Sunday). It's still slightly locked down like the Moto Backflip (not allowing unsigned applications) so it isn't truly open like the Android platform is supposed to be, but this is because [I believe] AT&T is trying to make the playing field even between...

    New EVO 4G Battery

    It's been released for a while, it's the same as the Incredible/Eris/Touch Pro 2/Tilt II/Hero battery. I would suggest taking a look at BatteryBoss to see how Seido batteries stack up in the performance vs rated capacity category. If anyone is willing to bite the bullet it would actually be a...

    Just ordered my Droid Incredible -- any suggestions?

    I ordered mine near the end of may and while I still have 8 more days to wait (coming in June 16th) I've been doing a lot of research about what to get. For the battery there has been a lot of discussion over what battery to replace it with on androidforums. From what I have gathered, both...

    Favorite Games for Android?

    The last I read all the Tetris clones were removed due to a Cease and Desist letter sent to Google forcing them to take them off. I haven't received my Incredible yet either although I'm probably just looking at a bejeweled knockoff named "Jewels". Don't know of any really popular games...

    Corsair Graphite Series 600T mid-tower gaming case

    If you need any testers I'd gladly take in a preproduction/test model. Question: is the Audio port in the front HD audio or just regular? And I'm definitely liking all the cable management options.

    Project: Helios | concept and design

    Errrrr, my I ask where your power supply is as it looks like the bottom chamber houses the reservoir. Also I suggest looking into designing holes in the panel where the motherboard screws into to allow for some really good cable management

    Questions about Verizon phone selection and plans

    I'm not going to answer all of your question [because I feel that I don't know enough to rightfully do so] but as for data plans, on Verizon it's attached to a phone line. It's mainly all dependent upon which phone you select - "3G Multimedia Phones" require a $10/mo data package while...

    Incredible coming..

    Incredible coming..

    Personally I think both ZAGG and Bodyguardz suck for touch screen phones (can't say anything about Steinhall). They both give a rubbery feel that really distracts from the whole experience. The Incredible has a pretty scratch resistant screen (there was a video - which I currently can't find -...

    Is it better to back up data using an external hdd or a removable internal hdd?

    Depends, if your motherboard supports hotswapping and you enable it when installing the operating system (I've heard some nasty stories about enabling it after Windows has been completely installed) you don't need to. But yeah, for most people they will have to shutdown -> connect -> startup.

    Is it better to back up data using an external hdd or a removable internal hdd?

    I vote an internal harddrive. As for connecting it, this is my solution to making it easy: The panel never really closed properly so when I needed to mess around with my laptop harddrive I just threaded the cables through the gap - and now I've left it like that for future use -, pretty...

    What's a good software for monitoring CPU & GPU temps?

    I think you're just talking about general software. If so I suggest CoreTemp for CPU temps and then nVidia Monitor to watch those GPU temperatures.

    WTB: DDR2 800 RAM

    I'm in search of some DDR2 800 ram. Specifically I would like a set of 2 x 1gb 4-4-3-5 G.Skill F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK - I currently have a set and would like to pair it with another. Otherwise, I'll be interested in any pretty low timing 2gb DDR2 set that anyone is willing to part with. I'd be...

    2 monitors : put the game on the extended monitor possible?

    If you play in Windowed mode you can use ShiftWindow to force the program to maximize on either monitor. Thus you could make it be maximized on Monitor #2 and then alt tab to Monitor #1, I used to use it all the time when playing Counter-Strike and it's pretty straight forward.

    In search of an in production Dell 2007WFP equivalent

    Hey everyone, so I'm at a little crossroads in making a decision here. I currently own a Samsung 206bw (20" 1680x1050) and a ViewSonic VA721 (17" 1280x1024). Ideally I would like to replace my ViewSonic with a 20" 1680x1050 (16:10) display with either an IPS or PVA panel. Through my research...

    Inexpensive Source for Auto Paint?

    gwarren007 has some good ideas, try to follow up on them. While a moot point if you're in California it's going to be rare to find a place to sell you a pint of paint as non-water based paint is basically becoming illegal to sell. Anyways, you do NOT need anywhere close to a pint of paint. For...

    What's up with the Dremel?

    I haven't had any problems with my Crafstman rotary tool (I don't know the model number off the top of my head but it was relatively inexpensive at Sears) and it takes all the Dremel attachments. Or maybe you should just search for a used old one on craigslist / call up Hoobie7 and see if he can...
