So I'm looking to get a NAS. I want to use it as a network drive across 3 home computers. I'd like to be able to use window's allways avaliable even if offline thingy. It would be nice if I had access from the internet into it, but not required. I'd like it to support 2 drives and Raid 1...

Is there a known good source for a legal, (retailed preferred) copy of windows 7 professional (or higher)? I'm creating another machine and I want windows 7. I've tried everything above it, and prefer windows 7. So I've looked on amazon and nothing looks very legit. Are there any known...

I'm looking to replace my 245BW. For a long time I thought I'd replace it with a 30", but after making a thread a while back and pretty much getting told they just don't compare with the 27" panels out there, I went back to the drawing board. So I'm going to get back on the research wagon and...

I want to divide the signal coming out of the back of a FIOS set top box (HDMI Splitter, easy enough), send one to my TV, and send the other to a window (i.e. not full screen) on my PC. This second part is where I don't really know where or what I need. I know this will require hardware and...

So, I'm considering taking the plunge and replacing my 245bw. It's an old, uncalibrated 24" TN with amazingly low input lag. I've never really complained about the monitor and have been quite happy with it. I say this to identify where I am on the "how senstive to X are you" questions...

I'm considering trying to build a HTPC/ full powered gaming console with the primary monitor being my 1080p TV. I'd like it to be portable, so I'm looking at building it into a very small form factor. I'm thinking something like a 2500k and a 660 GC with room for a single SSD, a HDD, and a...

Everything is sold, thanks for looking.

Is the onboard GPU on the 2500K suitable for a buisness use case? No CAD or anything, just stuff like MS office like software.

I've had a G7 that I've loved for the past 5+ years. It's dying. The left mouse button will no longer stay clicked. Not sure if it's the button or if the wireless is dying and losing connection for a milisecond. Doesn't matter, it's time for a new mouse. I do FPS gaming, MMOs, web...

I'm looking for a motherboard for a 2500K to take to 4.5 to 5Ghz. I want to pair it with a set of 2x4GB DDR3 ~2000ish low CAS memory, so memory OC/speed is important to me. I'll also be doing heavy gaming on it. 2 PCI-E slots would be nice, but I don't think should be required. I'd like a...

haven't been keeping up with 30" monitors. I'm thinking about getting a new 30" monitor sometime in the next 6ish months. I'm looking for something with wide gammat, deep blacks, and low input lag. I currently own a 245BW, and while I love the low input lag, and the decent black levels, I'm...

I've been reading way more than I ever wanted to on SSDs today. Is the throttling just on OCZ drives, or is it something that all drive makers do? I've got a friend that's got everything but the SSD on order and was going to get a Vertex 3 when they release, but what I'm reading now...

http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/10/18/good-news-bad-news-for-nvidia.aspx It's an interesting read for those who are into the financials behind the companies.

http://www.evga.com/articles/00581/ Looks like it finally launched.

I'm going to be starting a new build soon and am trying to choose a mobo. I'm going to want the X58 chipset and will be pairing it with a microcenter i7 930. Part of this build is going to be an overclock toy. I plan to WC the CPU and possibly the mobo. I've been busy with work lately...

Since atma links went live, I've had an occasional problem on the work computer. It's running IE7 (not by choice), and occasionally about once a day (1 in 30 times or so) after replying (advanced reply because I quoted something, not quick) I have the problem occure. The problem is after I...

I'm looking for a cheap 2.1 set of speakers. I've been using a set of 10$ speakers for years, and wanted to add something with Bass. Looking to spend ~50$ and hooking them up through onboard sound. Any recommendations?

Can someone wake me up when the video card section goes back to talking about video cards instead of fanboys screaming about how their video card maker is the best of all time and the other guy's is a fucking idiot? I'm all for intelligent discussion of rumors, and I even enjoy posting of...

For those of you who don't know Nvidia's conference call is today. As such, they released their financial numbers. Here they are: Quarterly Highlights Fiscal Year Highlights ($ in millions except per share data) Q4 FY2010 Q3 FY2010 Q4 FY2009 FY2010...

Has anyone used this thing yet? Is it fun or is it a gimmic? I don't feel like blowing 120$ on a POS. For any of you who don't know what I'm talking about.... linky

I'm not a programmer by trade; however I do enjoy dabbling in it now and again. My biggest problem is I really don't have any original ideas for programs to write. In fact most of the programming I've done in the last 2 years has been out of necessity at work, which while fun can still be...

I often browse from work and sometimes I find good stories that I'm sure you'd like on your front page such as Brain Power: Toyota develops thought-controlled wheelchair. However, I often wield a tin foil hat when it comes to the using work e-mail to submit such stories. While I know I could...

I was reading the insane BLCKs the DFI was getting and was wondering what is the BLCK king right now? Without doing any research I would guess it would be something like the classified. Perhaps a less loaded question would be what are the top BLCK preformers and what kind of BLCKs are typical?

Well credit goes to Silent.Sin for finding the site. It appears charlie has set up his own site dedicated to rumors and nvidia bashing. This is a public service announcement for those of you who don't like giving him revenue. Interestingly enough, his latest rants don't appear to be...

My wife and I are thinking about taking up golf. So instead of going out and blowing a whole bunch of money on clubs and then never using them, I'd like to buy a single or small set of irons that we can go to the driving range with. Not looking to spend too much, just hoping to take a single...

Well, I'm ready to kill EA. Again. A couple of years ago I bought a copy of Battle field 2. Today I got the itch to dig it out and play some. So I go digging through boxes in the closet to find the damn disk. I have it installed, but couldn't find the disk. I've wanted to play it a couple...

I recently got an Xbox 360 from my In-laws for christmas. Seems my wife enjoys it as much as I do, and thus I havn't been able to watch much TV. What I would like to do is get a video tuner card and set it up so I could just run a cable from my AT&T U-verse box to my computer and have the...

In a strange turn of events, it looks like my mother-in-law is going to get my a Xbox360 for Christmas. I know I need to pick up a few games like... Forza 2 Madden Soul Caliber GTA Are there any more "must play" titles I should grab? If it's on PC, I've probably already played it, and...

I'm looking to buy a DEAD 780i. I'm looking to pay about 20$ shipped. If you don't think you can ship it for that much, let me know what shipping will cost in a PM. I would think it would fit into one of those 10$ish UPS flat rate boxes though.

Title kind of says it all. If it looks like wow, or has wowish themes I have zero intrest. If you can play the game from level 1 to level cap completely solo and are expected to do so I have zero interest. I'm looking for something to replace FFXI, something along the FFXI or everquest...

Has anyone hardmodded their GTLVREF lanes on thier 780i yet? I considering moving to the "crazy" side of OCing for the hell of it/ fun of it/ because I can afford to screw it up. I've looked a little bit, but keep getting false positives on how to adjust crap in my bios. Anyone know of a...

The title says it all. I havn't heard a good ZOMG Nvidia (or ATI) is going to put out a GTX 400+++ WTF edition with 10 Gigs DDR17 lately. And with a few people on perma ban there hasn't been any popcorn threads to read. What do you people expect me to do? Actually do some work or something?!?!

178.13 Drivers are out http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Seems there are some preformance increases from these. I hope this doesn't outdate all the work Brent just did on that article!

I didn't like WoW for various reasons. I won't hide that. I did play it, for about 2 weeks to a month. I've also played COV/COH for a couple of months. I've played Tabula Rasa for a month. I've played a few others as well. I also played FFXI for 2 or 3 years. I really enjoyed FFXI...

I'm using Access (well I'm coding SQL in access) to parse some log files. I'm mechanical engineer and not a programmer so I'm going a little bit crazy. I've managed to figure out how to do everything I need up till the last step. I'm going to give a sample input table and desired output...

Ok, So after having my board for about 6 months, I'm finally getting around to pushing my E8400. Mostly because now I can afford to break it. :D However, I'm getting some strange things happening. E8400 (3.00ghz 9x stock 1.25volts Stock) 4 Gigs DDR2 1066mhz First off, I don't...

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/08/28/nvidia-55nm-parts-bad Well, charlie has decided to stake his rep on this I guess. He is now claiming that not only are all G84 and G86 parts bad, but all G92 and G92b parts are bad as well. Peronsally, I guess he's really starving...

http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=609&pageid=1 Please note the following, this thread and this review are not a soap box for fanboyism: That being said, it is VERY impressive what these setups can do. Infact, I got 1/2 way through the article before I realized I was...

I've allways had a big disconnect when it comes to which hardware is limiting perticular rendered objects. In ambush (I'm pretty sure it is ambush, correct me if I'm wrong), there are the three tanks in the middle of the map that are on fire. If I orient my camera just right from one of the...
