    Affordable NUC: Are AMD Kabini or FT3 Avail?.

    Any FT3 boards available on retail? I'd love to pick up an embedded line GX-415GA somewhere (ECC, huzzah)! The A6-1450 just got a little brother, an A4-1350 today which should be an affordable quad core. There are some announced products from June time frame, but I haven't seen any of them...

    m-itx chassis with hot-swap bays

    This is my premier object of desire these days. Mini ITX with 4, 5 or 6 3.5" would be rocking, similarly, one with 8 or 10 2.5" bays would be fan-frigging-tastic. I really like microservers. The main option available now is expensive after-market 3-in-2 drive bays &c; would be great if the...

    Are ANY wide-gamut displays usable for gaming?

    Are there wide-gamut displays usable for gaming? Do any of them have the hardware to display a "normal" looking screen, with not-horrific lag in gaming conditions? Every time wide-gamut is mentioned, its with a muttered oath under the breath, which seems silly. The problem is not that there...

    Bookshelf speakers on your desktop: we really need desktop clamp speaker stands

    So, one thing I've continually had drilled into my head is that most stereo speakers are not meant to sit on top of a "ground" surface, eg your desktop. Computer speakers tend to have some sort of elevation or support to bring them off the surface of your desktop, but I myself use a regular...

    small uber-quality usb dongle

    Greetings; I'm still suffering with my work laptop's crap audio output. I'd like a high quality USB sound card to plug headphones into. Some kind of amplification is needed, sometimes I use Grado's which require more than your average driver, and quality sound output is a serious want...

    Disable one GPU on a 4870x2

    I bought a 4870x2 thinking it would be perfect for running an army of EVE Online characters with. Unfortuantely, CCP, the coders of the game, apparently dont care a lick about AMD SLI gamers and havent put together the scratch to get a test rig with: the game crashes non stop in any kind of AMD...

    Realtime webcam

    I purchased a Philips SPC9000NC, and its ok but frankly using VLC I'm finding theres an incredible amount of latency (I'd guess between .2 - .4 seconds) just watching it locally. Is this just my webcam? Will most USB webcams be like this? Would things be any better if I buy a firewire...

    intermittent onboard ethernet flakiness

    Greetings all; I have a MSI K9N Diamond I'm trying to ship off to a colo-- unfortunately the motherboard is giving me fits. Sometimes when the system starts the onboard ethernet doesnt seem to work. Linux detects the two gigabit ports just fine, but it and whatever its connected to never...

    4870x2 secondary display issues

    I just migrated from a 4850 to a 4870x2 and I'm having issues detecting one of my displays (Viewsonic VX2025m) now. If its the only thing plugged in, its detected and works. If another display is plugged in, it will not start. I can run dual displays with other monitors fine: its only this...

    SATA controllers for JBOD

    I'm looking on setting up a big JBOD (just a bunch of drives), and my mobo only has 6x SATA ports. Some day far away I may need up to 15 hard drives, and I'll need at least 10 right now. What SATA card should I buy? Performance is a serious concern. The mobo has a somewhat old VIA chipset...

    tl;dr: I need a mid tower case with as many external 5.25" drives as humanly possible. No bigass "cube" cases or full tower cases. My friends and I are finally looking at setting up a colo box, and we found a great deal with a provider that will host mid tower colo boxes. We want to stuff...

    Dual desk-mount arm

    Currently I have a HP LP2465 (24") and a ViewSonic VX2025m (20.1") on a desktop-mount dual lcd arm. I'm going to be adding a new 26" monitor soon, but I need a better arm! The arms on the current one are too short to support a 24" and a 26" side by side. My other irk is that with my desk...

    Whats next?

    NVidia clearly has at least a new revision of the 2xx series in the cards, and AMD's 4870 x2 will be landing within 30d. Past that, my crystal ball isnt telling me much else though :p, so what are your predictions for whats next from the video card world?

    Memory Overclocking G92's

    I'm curious what peoples experiences are with memory overclocking the G92's. It seems the cores overclock to mid seven hundreds pretty easily, I'm curious if anyones seen significant boost in the memory. In particular, I'd imagine this would be much more brand dependent. Do be sure to...
