    FS: ASUS Nexus 7 16GB WiFi (Like New)

    For sale is my Nexus 7 16gb WiFi tablet which I bought new this past winter. Functionally and physically the item is nearly flawless. The only notable thing is a slight indentation on the silver plastic lining surrounding the front of the device, toward the bottom near the charging port...

    FS: AT&T HTC One X (White) - rooted w/ accessories

    It's that time of the year to upgrade! For sale is my AT&T HTC One X. Functionally, it's flawless. Everything works, no problems whatsoever. Battery life is still good, as the phone is less than 6 months old. It's rooted and currently running a CyanogenMod10 Jelly Bean ROM, but I can make it...

    FS: EVGA GTX 260 216

    I've had this card for a bit under four years and it has held its own ground very well. I've recently upgraded to a 1920x1200 monitor so I need some extra GPU juice. Overclocks well and has been running stable at 702/1404/1215. It was actually a core 192, but I got one of the ones that was a...

    FS: Pristine Kindle Fire (Barely Used)

    I bought it thinking I'd use it a lot. Turns out it's been sitting on my desk more than in my hands. I've had it for under two months and it hasn't even left my house once. Also, this is the second one I've had because I returned the first for a yellow tinted screen (which seems to be a typical...

    Monitor for photo/video editing?

    I have a TN panel, but I need something with much better color accuracy, not to mention, higher resolution. (My XPS 15 with the 1080p screen has really spoiled me) Here is what I need: - IPS (best color accuracy/representation for the price) - 22"-26" - 1080p or 1920 x 1200 (Preferably the...

    Skyrim not detecting 525m on XPS 15?

    I was playing Skyrim and noticed I could barely get a good framerate on all low at 720p (I have the 1080p screen). In the launcher under graphics adapter all I can see is the Intel HD Series as the GPU. I'm running the newest beta drivers and even tried to force it to use the Nvida GPU in the...

    XPS 15 temperatures too high?

    I'm running the i7 2630QM. Usually when I edit photos and what not (Photoshop + Lighroom) my CPU gets warm, say 60C, but not too much higher. However, I was just rendering some videos in Premiere Pro for less than 2 minutes and noticed my temps were getting high. Ambient temp is relatively...

    Help calibrating my XPS 15?

    I just ordered a Spyder3Express which I plan to use with the Color Eyes software. I understand the process of RGB calibration, 2.2 gamma, and 6500k temperature (for sRGB), but how do I go about setting the backlight of my display? Will the software help me know how to set it or am I missing...

    Upgrade from 260 this weekend or wait a month?

    I want to get a new card, minimum 560ti. I was thinking about grabbing a 560ti during black friday or cyber monday, but now I'm not so sure. I need the card by December 16th. Should I just grab a deal during one of the two sales days or will something good come out of waiting possibly? Edit...

    1080p 15" screen vs 1080p 24"?

    I have a Dell XPS 15 with the 1080p LED display which I use for my photo editing. In my school's studio, we edit on 24" iMacs with 1080p screens. Even though they are the same resolution, I feel like the iMac has much more screen real esate such as in Photoshop or Lightroom. Even though they...

    One last upgrade to put some life back into my system?

    So between BF3 and Skyrim, I want my PC to eat through these games. I play at 1680 x 1050 and I tend to jack up the AA. Running a Q9550 at 4ghz solid, so I don't think it should be a problem. I tend to stick with Nvidia, but if there is a compelling deal, I guess I could switch to ATi. But...

    Need helping finding a laptop to replace my desktop for college

    Headed to college as a freshman this fall. Here's where I'm at so far: Solid build quality, around $1000, good screen (preferably 1920), and similar performance to my current PC. I need to run Photoshop and Lightroom to edit my photography. Also, I want a relatively color accurate screen. I've...

    FS: Samsung Captivate Rooted Excellent Condition

    SOLD SOLD SOLD Not much to say about it. It's an awesome phone, in excellent condition, rooted, custom ROM. It's served me well. I've only had since September so it's practically new. I'm only selling it because I had a free upgrade and jumped to the HTC Inspire for the 4G. The only visible...

    SLI GTX 260 or upgrade?

    I've been playing a lot of BC2 lately, hence the Q9550 upgrade, which helped TREMENDOUSLY. Now that I have the quad, I think it's time to do a (cheap) GPU upgrade. I'm only playing on 1680 x 1050 but I still can't max all the settings with 60fps+. I only want to spend in the $100 range. Will...

    FS: E0 E8400 Great OC'er

    PRICE LOWERED My E8400 served me well, but it was time for a quad core. I bought it two years ago and have been runnning it between 4ghz-4.4ghz for about 1 and a half years. Never ran it above 1.3625v in the BIOS. At 1.3625v, I was able to boot at 4.7ghz into windows. Never managed to get a...

    Overclocking my first quad, Q9550. Goal 4.2Ghz, need advice

    My Q9550 I just got has been a pretty awesome chip thus far. Haven't worked too much on it yet, but I'm running 4ghz 3hr P95 stable with 1.265v. Upped it to 1.275v and it's been going even longer. I still have a good amount of room left with voltage, but the heat is limiting me. P95 brings it...

    Q9550 temps too high?

    I just got a Q9550 and stared OC'ing it a bit. I'm using my S1283 cooler with MX-2. I have it running at 3.4ghz at 1.256v. After 3 or 4 minutes of IBT, my temp max out at about 62C 61C 62C 59C Are these too high? With P95, my temps didn't exceed 56C. I'm not sure if I have to go back and...

    Can't boot windows after Q9550 install, please help

    I bought a Q9550 from a user on this forum and just installed it today. Everything seemed fine until I realized I was only running 2 cores. I had the option enabled to start windows with 2 cores. I disabled that option, and now I can't boot up. During the "Starting Windows" screen, I see a real...

    Been out of the game for quite awhile, upgrade time?

    So I've been out of the PC hardware for over a year now, but I'm feeling an upgrade. I was thinking about tossing in a GTX 470/5870 (or something around that performance), but I'm thinking that's going to cause a bottleneck with the E8400. Since I'm going to college next year, I don't really...

Basically, I'm just using my pc like normal then it just blacks out but music will still play for a good 20 or 30 seconds before it fully freezes. Here are the only...

    FS/FT: iPod Touch 1st gen 8gb

    Let me start by saying this ipod is FULLY functional in every way. The only reason I'm looking to get rid of it is that I just bought a 16gb iPhone so I have no need for it. I'll be willing to trade it, so if you have any trades in mind, shoot them my way. I'm willing to sell the iPod for $120...

    Best case/protection for my iPhone 3gs?

    I want to protect this thing, it's too damn expensive. I like the invisible shield but I'm EXTREMELY nit-picky about not having any lint or bubbles under it. I don't want a cheapo looking plastic case because those things make my phone look like a little toy for 5 year olds and I don't want the...

    What's left to do with my Blackjack 2?

    So I was going to get a new phone but after a series of stupid AT&T ripoffs, I'm left with my Blackjack 2 once again. I already know of the site http://www.myblackjack2.com/ but I'm wondering if there is more I can do. Custom roms? WinMo 6.1 tweaks? Ect.?

    Best smarthphone for ATT?

    It's time for my upgrade and I have $250 worth of upgrade cash. I do not want an iPhone, so don't recommend it. I was really interested in the HTC Fuze but after testing it at ATT's store, it seems incredibly laggy and unresponsive which is one of my WinMo fears. Lastly, I don't get data plans...

    Multi-monitor in low power 2d mode?

    Well, here is my problem. It seems to be that when I enable dual monitors, my card kicks in to 3d mode which means higher power, high clocks, and higher temps especially. Is it possible to run dual monitors without it changing from low power 2d mode to 3d mode?

    Need some game recommendations, mostly old school stuff here.

    Stability with 4x2GB on P5Q Pro?

    Now that my next OS upgrade is going to be to W7 64 bit in the next year about, I figure I might as well pop in some extra RAM. I'm thinking of grabbing 2 more 2gb sticks but I fear it will mess with my OC and cause some extremely screwed up stabality issues that I've heard about in the past. Is...

    What's the GPU future looking like?

    I'm getting an itch for an upgrade here. I know my card is not bad at all, but I can't get SLI so that's out of the question. What cards are coming up this year, any talk? I'm almost tempted to sell my card and get 2 4870's but I feel I'd be better off waiting until the new chips come out so I...

    Western Digital 640GB RAID 0 questions

    I plan on setting up a RAID 0 array with 2 WD640's. I run XP and from what I'm reading, I have to load up the drivers from a floppy. 1) Is it possible to use a flash drive or is a floppy the only way possible to get the drivers into the XP install? 2) Instead of making the RAID 0 partiton...

    Can I RAID 2 HDD's that are slightly different?

    I currently have a WD640AAKS and a WD640AALS. I'm soon grabbing a WD 1TB drive to replace one of the 640's that is my storage drive. Would it be possible to raid the two different WD's or do they need to be exactly the same?

    GTX 260 VRM Phase 1 206C!!??

    Cheapest low power/profile GPU for second monitor?

    I love using two monitors but it makes my card run in 3d mode, so I'd like to get a really cheap and low power GPU just to run my second monitor. Nothing more. Will this fix my problem with 3d mode and can I get something for around $30? Also, how does that work with drivers? Do I go about...
