    RT-AC68U clone $59 - use code WIFI40 - T-Mobile.com

    Got mine CFE'd and Merlin'd and deployed as AP2 at home, my first AP is my old AC66R. Gotta say these are a great affordable AC AP solution! I'm normally a fan of UBNT for cheap AP's, and Ruckus for $$$ AP's, but at $59 plus some time getting the transition done...these are solid. I did have an...

    FS: Windows 7 Pro Keys -- best prices, volume discounts, Windows 10 Upgrade!!

    Bump to an awesome seller and legit keys. I've had 0 issues and I've used quite a few from [Ion]. Whether it's sticking to 7 or upgrading to 10, this is a nice cheap solution to having a legitimately activated OS and for $10 who can complain? I sure as hell can't! I also should add that Ion is...

    [DEAD] SMOKING HOT! Canon Powershot SX520 HS (Refurb) $90 shipped!

    Back down to $139, mine should be showing up here soon. The case, SD card, etc. did. I still am excited for this even if I paid more than the $90 deal. Maybe a luke-warm deal now?

    [DEAD] SMOKING HOT! Canon Powershot SX520 HS (Refurb) $90 shipped!

    Well I had already ordered before I posted that message...and if they really do drop it, I'll raise a little hell with their support and get a $40 refund to my card. Even at the higher price it seems like a very good deal indeed...and again replacing my old Panasonic TS2 from 2010 that was a...

    [DEAD] SMOKING HOT! Canon Powershot SX520 HS (Refurb) $90 shipped!

    Seeing the deal for $139 rather than $79 or $89, but still picked it up after researching and comparing pricing, I couldn't get a better camera or deal...ordered this and a spare battery and tripod from Amazon to mess around with. I've been using a Panasonic Lumix TS2 tough camera I picked up...

    Is it just me?... difference between front and rear audio.

    The FP outputs are generally set to a higher gain level than the rear outputs. Reason for this is because they expect you to connect your headphones to the front outputs and speaker/amp to the rear output. Many mainboards that include onboard HP amps include software that also has a software...

    Space games/simulations

    +1 for Evochron Mercenary I have Star Citizen AC, and really I find myself preferring Evo atm. SC has some potential...I wish I could afford to try Elite Dangerous Beta. That looks really good to me. Evochron might not have the graphics..but it's got so much to check out and it continually...

    Noctua NH-U14S CPU Cooler

    I've had my U14S since July 2013 iirc...been an amazing part. Best mounting bracket and warranty ever! By far the most expensive air cooling solution I've purchased, it's proven to be worth every penny. I'm running mine on a 4770k @ 4.3, 1.15v. Keeps quiet and cool. Nice evaluation! It would've...

    COD:MW3 preload on Steam is up

    I'm 50-50 on getting this...I like the direction things are headed as-far-as dedicated servers, unlocks in private/un-ranked, no dolphin diving, etc. But I skipped MW2, and got BLOPS...was so dissapointed I played it for two weeks, uninstalled...and just re-installed today...it's A LOT better...

    Simbin PC racing sim announces "Race Injection"

    I just got GT5 for PS3 because GTR2 + expansions + mods just wasn't good enough. I got sick of waiting...apperently no devs for PC can get it right. I'm hoping C.A.R.S. does, but GTR2, Evo, Race, etc...while good...for me just weren't good enough or could match what I wanted. Too bad I finally...

    Bring back space sims dammit ;)

    The indie title Evochron Mercenary is pretty good, it's got newtonian physics, you can customize your ship, do all sorts of stuff...it's community is pretty active, has MP, and a very small footprint on your HDD. It's a little more simulation and less arcade vs a lot of the suggested titles...

    What game have you been playing lately?

    Stalker SoC with Complete 2009 mod C.A.R.S. alpha SupCom/FA Rage Those are my primaries at this point and I have a lot in the backlog to play. Thinking about getting back into Arma 2 again..looking very forward to Arma 3 next year. Probably gonna move on to Stalker CoP after Soc, maybe hit...

    Which STALKER is worth getting

    I have all 3, all are good when I'm in the mood for them. But just started a new game in SoC with Complete mod tonight. I have been enjoying the heck out of it so far! Again. Though I do also have CoP with Complete mod and from what i recall it was pretty good as well but never went as far into...

    Day of Defeat: Source HDR problem...

    Nah, I don't think your card is bad. Do you have any issues in VGA Stress Tests/Benchmarks? Maybe try even older drivers? Did you do a dirty or clean driver update? I usually do dirty (just install over old drivers/basic uninstall-install). Usually if you have a bad vid card, blank...

    Quick question for the C&C, Red Alert crowd

    C&C 3 and Kanes Wrath are kickass imho. C&C 4 is meh. RA3 is entertaining...but I still think C&C 3 is the best C&C game since Generals and RA2.

    Controllers (ps3 / 360)

    The 360 is plug and play, hell I never even have to calibrate it. I have a madcatz version and MS version, both cable. Works perfect with many games for the last few years, even showing you which buttons to push. I used to use a PS2 controller with a Smartjoy usb adapter...it worked ok, but I...

    Can I get some space based RTS suggestions please

    Homeworld, HW Cataclysm, Homeworld 2, Sins Trinity (Sins + 2 expansions), there's also GalCiv2 (Impulse only). You might look into SW Empire at War Gold if you like Star Wars...it has space and ground RTS elements...though it never held my attention. Right now I'm playing Star Ruler, and I'm...

    Futuremark teases new space sim!!

    In Evochron Mercenary you can enter planets and dock at cities, mine the surface, air, water, etc in real time. Though your ship is your avatar. I still dig EM though, for an indie title it's got a lot to do and see and the MP is where it's at imho. But you might check it out Stiler, some of the...

    Futuremark teases new space sim!!

    I agree with the repaint Freespace 2 comment, but I'd almost rather they do a repaint of I-War 2 if only for the newtonian physics. I'm hooked on Evochron Mercenary atm, it has a steep learning curve compared to the more arcadish space sims, but is a riot once you get the hang of it...but with...

    Brink, thoughts?

    I'm on a hair trigger for pre-ordering when after the sale and 15% off at D2D I can get the Steam Peorder for $38....pretty sure I just talked myself into it! I'm just not 100% on this title yet, wish there was more out there! Good info in this thread though!

    Installing a game from a USB stick?

    Yeah I've done it, some games like Tiberian Sun, C&C 1, Far Cry, etc that are Free To Play downloadable style work fine from a usb stick. Now if you're talking taking your DVD games and moving them (as you mention removing your optical drive...makes little sense imho), then you need to do a...

    Almost ready to buy HD 58xx

    Gotta say so far @ stock I'm seeing pretty damn solid performance, and honestly I can't really see even an aged Q6600 running 3.6 really choking my card too much. I'm sure I'd see performance increases going to i7, but I had to choose, vga or system, I made my choice and so far I'm pretty happy...

    New HD 5870 but its a bit dark

    It's because these cards are Rev2 like the new Vapor-X, and do not support voltage adjustments from what I'm reading. I'm hoping that some sort of bios modding can be done soon, but really at this point I'm not really worried about it. I did the Afterburner settings and cfg editing before I...

    New HD 5870 but its a bit dark

    Tried that, no dice. Don't even see voltage readouts in GPU-z...the card's probably locked, or maybe just needs a different BIOS like what people were doing with earlier hd5870's?

    New HD 5870 but its a bit dark

    I went from a single OC'd 260 to one of these and WOW, it's a beast! Though I can't seem to get voltage control or monitoring to happen in MSI afterburner 1.4.2 with 10.2 drivers...might not be a feature for this card, but the cooler rocks! I run about 48% fan speed, a good mix between noise and...

    Almost ready to buy HD 58xx

    Got the card in, wow, destroys my gtx260! I haven't OC'd, but I did find I have NO voltage control via MSI Afterburner (after allowing voltage control and monitoring in settings and verifying 1 for each in cfg...). That kinda pisses me off, but is not necessary at this moment it would be a piece...

    Almost ready to buy HD 58xx

    Thanks for the info guys, hey magoo, you say @ 50% the reference cooler's pretty noisy...I expect that from the design, and why I'm hopeful that the newer design would be worth it. I'm not too worried if I can't control voltages at this point..could be a bummer later. I might play with OC's but...

    Almost ready to buy HD 58xx

    The reason I wanna go 5870 is the fact that the higher end and overall faster card, with higher stock clocks and a little more OC room at max speeds will suffice in the long run. With NV's statement today, I'm alost undoubtedly going to be getting an ATI HD58xx card to replace my aging 260...

    Almost ready to buy HD 58xx

    Gotta OC'd GTX260, been solid for 18 months, but it's time to move on as it's starting to lag at 1920x1080 w/aa and af. I'm really thinking of getting the HD 5870, granted I don't have 400 bones so I'd probably have to do the bill-me-later deal and pay it off before the 90 days is up to not pay...

    headphone shopping

    JVC HARX700's + Forte rocks from my experience! I much prefer them over my 3X more expensive JVC HA-DX3's, they're fun to listen to for sure. Many use the Zalman clip on mic, I preferred the boom flex mic of my previous TB HAP2's so I got some 3.5mm cord, zip tied it to the lh earcup, and go...

    Recommend me a new sound card?

    Well at that budget I'd call for a used X-Fi Xtreme Gamer or X-Fi Xtreme Music, both cards are solid have the features you want and loved. :D Though I do gotta say my Auzen X-Fi Forte is a very nice step up, if not on sale it'll squash that budget, though a few weeks ago they were on sale for...

    Looking for a soundcard

    +1 on the Auzen Forte, I use it for music and gaming, drives my jvc harx700's quite well with the headphone amp, sounds great. I replaced my older X-Fi Xtreme Music with the Forte and was impressed, though I must admit the older X-Fi was by no means a crap card for 40-50 bucks. Cheers.

I haven't researched it much yet, but it is an annoyance from time to time. I have noticed that it...
