Question for you all out there. I have never been an "audiophile" by any stretch, but I do appreciate good sound. The main thing is my hearing is mediocre. I have had a Bose Companion 5 on my computer for what seems like 10 years now. I have run my headphones out of them for a long time but I...

So glad I keep Facebook only to share only child moments with distant family - zero personal info on there. In fact its downright intentionally incorrect info on my profile.
I am fortunate enough to have synchronous FIOS at the house and I want to host a VPN connection for myself while out and about. I really am curious about how I should go about it - I have a Cisco ASA 5505, I could do a OpenVPN Linux box either virtual or physical or I could buy one of the soho...
I'm tired of the massive Silverstone Raven case sitting next to my desk. It's in the way and really wastes a ton of space. I have put together a PC Hound list of items and since I haven't built anything in years I hope you can all give me a sanity check based on my thoughts below...
So as soon as I boot up my EVGA card spins up loud and then within a second slows down to normal. When Windows comes up to login screen it goes to full blast and stays that way until I launch a game. I can't control it in afterburner at all. I even uninstalled it and tried the EVGA tool. It...
Amazon Fire Phone - 32GB Unlocked GSM
I'm looking at getting a new phone - and I didn't really look at the fire phone but with a free year of prime included it makes this thing effectively $130 bucks. It's tempting but I am not sure I want to be stuck with the Amazon App store. If it had...
So I have had this monitor but just now have the time/inclination to try Gsync before I plop down for a new monitor. Anyone know where you can get one of the DIY kits? Nvidia doesn't seem to have anywhere to actually buy them on their site...or am I just out of luck and they don't have anymore?

I am updating my DSS setup scripts from VBS to PowerShell and like my other thread - I put this here in case it helps anyone.

Well there are tools that do this for you (if you want to pay) but I wanted to learn more about file/folder security in Windows and I am updating my DSS setup scripts from VBS to PowerShell.
PowerShell Script : DSSAuditing
Description: This PowerShell script will set and check auditing on...
On of my responsibilities at work is setting security settings on various operating systems to DSS requirements. DSS doesn't do anything other than say set all these files to XYZ permissions and auditing. Previously I shared a VBScript using WMI to do this here but it doesn't work as well on...

My System: HP Z820 2xXeon E5-2630 64GB RAM and 4xIntel 300GB SSD in RAID 0 running Windows 8.1

I am transferring backup images (roughly 20-40GB each) from the storage server to my local system and I...
Title says it all - did you get it? It looks great plays just as good as the original and is very fluid. It only took about 4 hours to beat it but I have been replaying it to get extra money for unlocks. Diving into the money bin is awesome! I played it with a 360 controller on my PC and it...

Z77X-UP7
Item is fresh off RMA from Gigabyte. The issue was detailed here on the [H]: 3.4GHz CPU stuck at 1.6GHz
The BD PROCHOT sensor went bad. Gigabyte fixed the board and returned it to me. In shipping on the way to RMA it got a nic in the corner of the board but it does...
WTB a PS3 to play "The Last of Us".
PM Me your price. I can pay or trade the following:
Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 - fresh from RMA to gigabyte. I have the original box and accessories. http://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/316/z77x-up7.html
I am so tempted to pickup a PS3 just to play this game - Is there any speculation it will be available on PS4? I figure it is so popular and released so close to the launch of the PS4 it at least has a shot at being on the new console. I preordered a PS4 so I don't really want to bother buying...
So I buy the top end Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP7 board over the ASUS ROG Maximus V Formula/ThunderFX. I had a Gigabyte before and it was a good board but I have used Asus for the last 5 systems I have had. So the board came in and worked great until after about 4-5 months the bd prochot sensor seems...
I am sort of beside myself at the moment. I have the sig rig with a Xeon E3-1240V2 3.4GHz processor. It is stuck at 1.6 and nothing I do in the BIOS ever fixes it. I even reflashed the BIOS and used all defaults same thing. Running the intel burn test and the CPU at 100% I don't even pass an...
Well I was really curious about these monitors since the Benq has a horrible (to me) issue of darkening everything up and washing out the colors in lightboost mode with that dynamic contrast and you can't turn it off while lightboost is on.
First plain desktop with lightboost enabled Side by...
Have a seemingly interesting issue. Titan works beautifully but I notice in my surround options it shows the res as 5760x1080x60hz not 120hz which was what it was listed at with either of my 690's. It doesn't give me the option to select 120hz either.
Anyone else had this issue with titan?
I was kinda worried at first that the 3 GD235HZ wouldn't all connect to the titan without a DP to DVI adapter but it works great with 2xDVI and 1xHDMI.
I tried - I used it for over two months but Windows 8 just isn't a good desktop experience for me. It had features I liked, the task manager is fantastic and it was a solid OS in general. However, the lack of proper Multi-monitor support from NV within Windows 8 just wore me down...
EVGA GTX 580 1.5GB
I have 2 but only selling one at a time on fleabay. If you want both for one money contact me before the auction closes with an offer.
I am going to move to an Ivy Bridge platform and was hoping for some [H] input. Currently I have an Asus ROG Rampage III Formula with an I7-950 with 12GB of RAM and dual gtx 580's. Storage is 2x Intel 600gb and 2x intel 300gb SSD's.
My needs : I run multiple VM's - lots of memory. I really...
I wanted to see what you folks think about this short paper I was tasked to write on behalf of our department for corporate management detailing why it is not feasible to "virtualize" our old production systems.
Warning - Wall of Text.
TL;DR cliffs
Virtualization is great for processing...
