    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    It's time to replace my old TV and I'm beginning to do some research in preparation for black friday. I'm looking for a 4k TV that could be good for both movies and gaming. For movies, it has to be able to play 24fps movies at the correct frame rate. I'm not 100% certain but does this mean I...

    WTB: 4-8TB Hard drives

    Finding USB keys with decent random 4k r/w performance

    There are a lot of garbage USB keys out there. There are also some that are like mini-ssds and priced accordingly, e.g. corsair gtx. Anandtech has done some reviews, but they are so few and far between that the well-reviewed keys I want are not even available any more. I'm looking for a USB I...

    Any way to browse cases based on the video card they will accommodate?

    Basically the title. I have a desktop rig in steel full tower case with an AMD 5850 in it. I am going to need to move this thing pretty frequently, so was thinking about downsizing the case and motherboard to mATX.

    Searching for dual-bay raid1 external storage

    I'm looking for either empty enclosures or full units, of dual bay raid1 external storage. I need something that's reliable, but with a good value. It doesn't have to be fast or feature four different kinds of interfaces. I thought you used to be able to search newegg for external enclosures...

    Disks randomly "plugged out"

    I have a Norco RPC-4220 filled with 20 SATA drives that's been working fine for over a year, running Windows Server 2008. About a month ago, a drive just dropped from windows. Lights were still on the front of the case indicating a connection (I think). That one drive has been available...

    Looking at Archos 43

    I'm beginning to research getting something like an android-based PDA. So far, the Archos 43 seems really nice, the only downside being the resistive touch screen. Is there anyting comparable with a capacitive screen? Is there anything coming out soon that I should wait for?

    Triple Head - 1920x1200 (no Matrox TripleHead2Go)

    I'll come right out and say that I looked at the Matrox Triple Head 2 Go, and that won't work. I have three 1920x1200 monitors, and the Matrox only supports 3x 1920x1080 at 50Hz. I need true 1920x1200 at 60Hz. My current set up is a gaming desktop with an ATi 5850 to support my three...

    I have been watching some deal sites for the last two weeks, and there have been some pretty awesome deals on laptops with the latest technology and prices better than anything in the last gen. In particular two light gaming laptops: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2808719...

    Warm? Apple iBook G4 $220

    Newegg has an upcoming shell shocker for an Apple iBook G4 for $220. I was wondering how it compared to an atom-based netbook. If the performance is about equal, then this could be a nice deal. I was thinking of getting a netbook, but I might get this instead. edit: I think the biggest knock...

    WTB: Intel Socket 775 CPU, 65nm, preferably not celeron

    edit: offers responded. I'm not looking for any more, but if I do I will bump this thread. I am looking for any socket 775 Intel processor in the 65nm generation. I need two, to pair with some OEM motherboards that never got support for the later-gen 775 processors. Please let me know what...

    Adding drives to my RAID5

    I currently have 4 drives in software RAID 5, and I wanted to add two more: one for capacity, and either add a hot spare or convert the RAID to level 6. I currently have four of these in here: Hitachi Deskstar HD32000 IDK/7K H450-9000 SY. Those drives aren't available everywhere...

    Triple-head with mixed resolutions (not eyefinity)

    Hey, sorry I have to ask this question here, but the documentation from AMD is kinda slim when it comes to anything that's not eyefinity. I have a 5850 that I want to use to drive three displays for programming and productivity. I have two 1920x1200 monitors and one 1440x900 monitor. I was...

    CRT for gaming: Sony E540

    I saw a post on craigslist selling an old Sony E540 for $25. I have only been gaming on LCDs for the past seven years and I'm starting to get fed up with the input lag, response time, ghosting etc. Lately I've been watching Quake Live replays and I keep thinking to myself that the kind of rail...

    FT: my ATX x58 for your mATX x58

    I have an MSI x58 Pro purchased from Microcenter about a year ago. It's been running my i7 920 smoothly since then; I have it set to a modest 10% overclock with all stock voltages, kept nice and cool in my Antec 300 case. You can see from the pics that it's relatively dust-free considering it's...

    I currently have a Benq G2400W 24" 1920x1200 LCD. I would like to find a mate for it. I'm interested in buying another G2400W, but I would also be interested in other 24" monitors. The G2400W is pretty well-liked around here. I would also consider trading the G2400W for a matching pair of...

    SAS Newbie

    A friend of mine recently purchased a Norco 4020 case without realizing that the backplane takes 5x SAS SFF-8087 connectors. I need to come up with some solution allowing him to tap into the backplane, but I'm pretty much 100% ignorant when it comes to server level storage hardware...

    Why are DVI KVM switches so expensive?

    My first instinct would be to guess that DVI switches would be cheaper, considering that digital cables are usually cheaper than a top-notch analog cable. Also, DVI + USB KVM switches are exorbitantly priced! They seem to start at $100 and go up rapidly from there. It's actually cheaper to...

    Why no flood of video card deals after the release of 58XX

    Whenever a new video card comes out, every other topic in the Deals forum usually is for some video card or another. There are usually posts to find the one vendor that has the hot new card for $3 less than the competition. There are usually TONS of posts of previous-gen card price-cuts...

    Any cases where the PSU intakes air from the outside? graphic inside

    Bow before my photoshop skills: The picture says it all. It basically separates the airflow of the PSU from all of the other components. I think it would interfere less with some tower coolers. Also, you wouldn't be pulling in air that's already heated from the CPU in order to cool the...

    Flush mount a patch panel in drywall?

    I'm installing a network in my house. I bought a patch panel from Monoprice, but I think I'm leaning towards getting a double-gang twelve-slot keystone panel to do the same job, instead, because it can mount flush to the surface of the wall. I'd like to use a real patch panel because it's easier...
