Going on a flight tomorrow, airline site says certain batteries are restricted. Need to take my external Aukey battery with me to power my MS Surface.What is permitted is: "All spare batteries including lithium metal or lithium ion batteries with a watt hour rating exceeding 100 Wh but not...

I like this one. Same seller, still from China but initially a smaller jack until you add the adapter...

@Fenris_Ulf, that is helpful, thank you. I have set the cross to roughly 110. After this change I can hear more bass in guitar strings and other bassy instruments. I will try the tone generator test as suggested. Edit: okay, after running the test, I can hear tones from 14599Hz to 20Hz, though...

Hello everyone. Recently I bought myself a new set of computer speakers ($150 on sale from $500). The specific brand/model is Simple Audio Listen as seen here: http://www.simpleaudio.com/all-products/bluetooth-speakers/simple-audio-listen The set includes two speakers. It has an optional...

Thanks guys, thats helpful.

I just put together a rig for mining script coins. I'm not thrilled with the temps the two 280Xs are generating... one at 80C and the other at 90C. I'm considering putting the rig outside in the garage. It's about -15C average now where I live. I know the GPUs would love the cold temps but how...

Please see the specs in my signature. I would like to strip this system down and convert it to a Litecoin mining rig. I already bought two R9 280X cards. Will 280Xs even be recognized by this board? I was hoping to recycle that hardware instead of going out and buying a whole new setup. Thoughts...

Tonight I started a hardware upgrade on my rig. This is something I have done a hundred times before. I was replacing my gtx680 with a 280X. I shut down my PC, pulled the power plug from the PSU, and swapped the cards. When I tried to reboot, I get a blank screen with an error suggesting no boot...

I have a P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboard by Asus. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PROGEN3/ It has 3 GPU slots and 4 PCI(x) slots. The GPU slots are in position 2, 5 and 7. Today I bought 2 Asus R9280X-DC2-3GD5-V2 GPUs. https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9280XDC23GD5V2/ These...

Yes, LTC mining. I had assumed both cards needed to be the same to enable crossfire. For mining they don't need to be attached? (crossfire cable)

My monitor is 1920x1200. I just found a lightly used AX850 on Kijiji for $75. I'll get that and run two GPUs. One GPU will be for everyday use and the other will be a dedicated miner.

Damn, I can't find any AX750s or AX850s anywhere. Seems they're discontinued.

Ok, maybe i'll put a little $ into a new PSU. My AX650 is modular ... meaning I can add or remove power lines right at the unit. I would prefer not to have to re-wire my system. On that note, I might consider a higher wattage Corsair AX series PSU. I'm hoping I can just swap out the PSU and the...

Sorry, but the PDF you are linking has no values in it. Edit: actually I had to open it outside my browser to see the values. Thx.

I checked the website you noted. It suggested I am using 350W currently. That would leave me 300W for a ??? video card. I'm not sure the website is correct however. I just remembered I have everything including a LED monitor plugged into a UPS. Using the front display, it says current system...

I have a rig running the following hardware. I would like to add two dedicated AMD cards to it if my PSU will support it (currently running the integrated GPU). I have no idea what wattage my rig is using now. Details: Asus p67 i7 2700K 256GB Crucial M4 SSD 8GB Corsair RAM Corsair H100 cooler 3...

Biometric security, IMO, is a long way off from being ready for prime time (in the retail world). Just liked hacked debit machines, biometric readers can be hacked to store your fingerprint, voiceprint, retina scan or even DNA after use. Thieves can then use these copies to gain repeated access...

Bringing access to third world countries is all fine and dandy. But unless Google/Facebook also plans on putting a netbook/tablet in everyone's hands, this sounds a little pointless. When you can't afford food or healthcare, its pretty safe to assume you can't afford hardware.

I'm eagerly waiting for input lag stats. I'm using the Dell 2408WFP which has the worst lag ever. I passed on the U2410 and the lower end U2412M hoping for a new Ultrasharp in the 24" class. Well its here, but is it fast?

I'm in the market for a new Laptop/Ultrabook. I'm wondering if there is a make/model with the following rough specs currently available: (in order of importance) IPS/VA/PLS Display, TN is a deal breaker Higher resolution than 1366x768 SSD 256GB or better i5 or better Decent battery life Intel...

Looking for a FarCry 3 Steam code at a reasonable price. PayPal will be used for Payment. No BS or anything, for my son. Thanks.

Hi please PM me for interest.

IBM has had this technology for 15 years now. Too expensive to bring it to market.

Far Cry 3 has not been released. Pre-order?

To a degree yes, but not by too much. OP, I suggest a Corsair AX650 for that rig. I also suggest a 520 series SSD rather than your choice. The price on them is falling very quickly.

I have never had a Pioneer drive go bad. So I'd feel comfortable suggesting this as an Asus alternative: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-2207

Your right, I can't find any available anywhere either. If I find one I'll send you a link.

Also if you don't mind a stylish external unit: http://www.asus.com/Optical_Storage/External_Slim_Bluray_Drive/SBW06C2XU/

I use: http://www.asus.com/Optical_Storage/Internal_Bluray_Drive/BW12B1LT/ And love it.

Based on reading your post, I might suggest the following: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS24A850DW/ZA 1920x1200 & superb color without the IPS glow seen on many budget IPS panels. Its not 120Hz however. If you go 120Hz, you are going with a TN panel and well, TN isn't all that...

if (hardcoreFPSGaming == true) { purchase.display(120hz); } else { purchase.display(1920x1200); }

Since the links wont work: * go to n c i x.com search for SSDSC2CW240A3K5 * in another browser tab go to tigerdirect.ca and search for SSDSC2CW240A3K5 * buy the ssd from n c i x.com and price match to that from tigerdirect.ca * .... * save.

I am thinking about selling my old rig. PC hardware depreciates so quickly, so I have no idea what its worth. What would you ask for this rig if it were yours? Core 2 Duo E8400 MSI P7N Diamond 4GB Mushkin DDR2 Thermaltake Big Typhoon Seagate 1TB Antec P182 Thermaletake 750W...

We went from Johnny 5 to these? How disappointing.
