Hey all, My rig seems to have some trouble starting up lately. It will run right up to just before the Win7 loading splash screen; but when I press the reset button, it runs through start up just fine. I'm not sure what this symptom indicates; and why it can restart just fine but not start...

I'm generally pretty good with internal components of a computer but recently I've been having a problem with my speakers. I have a set of Swan M10s and just the onboard soundcard (Abit IP35 Pro); lately the left channel speaker has intermittently stopped functioning. The temporary solution...

Hey everyone, I want to replace the keys on my Filco Majestouch, but their blank key set is out of stock, I was wondering if I could just use any blank key set or should I wait and try and acquire one from them? This will be my first mechanical keyboard so I'm not too clear on whether...

This may or may not be the right forum, But could anyone point me towards a good resource/primer to learn programming in AppleScript? Thanks!

Hey everyone, Lately I've been wanting to play a space combat sim, but I'm pretty sure I haven't even heard of one being developed in years. The last one I played that I remember/enjoyed was Freelancer; the only other one before that was probably X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter. Basically, I...

Well, this morning my SOYO 24" DYLM24D6 died; wouldn't turn on, was working just fine the night before. I've done some reading and I'm looking into buying a new power supply to replace the internal one. But anyways, I was wondering what a comparable replacement would be. I haven't had a...

So I'm thinking about picking a pair of these drives for my home rig. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136456 I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this model, I don't intend to run it as a system drive. However, I would like to be able to stream...

Hi all, I'm currently running two Western Digital Caviar Blue WD6400AAKS 640GB, based on the reviews I found here probably over a year ago. I am also running an Intel X25-M G2R5 160GB for my system drive. I would like to expand to 2x2TB drives, because I'm running out of space on my two...

Hey guys, I've recently built a new computer with primarily gaming, web browsing and email in mind. What I failed to consider that my old workhorse of a laser printer uses one of those old printer ports but my new IP35 Pro doesn't have such a port. I imagine that this generation of printers...

Hey guys, I just got my bolt through kit from Xigmatek for the S1283. I've got a Q6600 on an Abit IP35 Pro and it's been running fine for about a month and a half now. Just a few questions before I try and fix something that already works just fine :confused: 1) What's the best way to...

Hey all, I've done some poking around and I'm looking for recommendations from [H] for a gaming mouse. I've always used pretty basic mice, L, R, Scroll wheel, but I was at a friend's house and saw his MS Sidewinder and he says that the macroable buttons make a big difference. So I...

So I finished building my computer a few weeks ago and I had a wedding to go to this weekend, so my computer has been off and unplugged since last Wednesday. Everything worked just fine on Wednesday, and nothing to my knowledge has changed. So I fired it up last night and it gives back...

Hey everybody, I heard from a friend a couple years ago that there was an article in Wired about a guy who wired up his room with omni directional mics hooked into voice activation software, something a la Star Trek. I just finished my first build last weekend and obviously I want to push my...

Hey all, I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct subforum, so I apologize if it isn't. Anyways, my 2yr contract w/ ATT is up and they're offering the deals on hardware w/ new 2yr contract gimmick. I don't keep up with the best new phones and I'm not a huge power user, don't need it for...

Hey all, this is my first post and I've been reading up on a few of the posts and still have a few questions. First of all, this will be my first build that I've ever done, but I've been researching components for the past 6 months and buying a component a month. Upgrade wise it wasn't a...

Hey all, Most of the other components are pretty easy to figure out, Q6600/E8400, 8800GT etc. But for me, I can't quite seem to figure out what motherboard is the right choice for me. I haven't quite decided whether to go with the Q6600 or E8400, and I've read about the temp/compatibility...

So I'm working on a build scheme which involves upgrading my video card to an 8800GT which only has DVI outputs as far as I can tell, and the monitor I have now only accepts VGA inputs. I inherited the monitor for free so that's why I'm using it and I'm not too sure if I can squeeze another...
