Wasn't sure where to ask this, sorry! So in short *I need to RMA my Sandisk extreme 240gb SSD, purcased last year. I assume I need to get a copy of the invoice as usual *I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it, checked the usual suspects (Amazon/Egg) So the question if anyone...

Ok, here is my situation My setup : 1. Stereo, with the HDMI input going to my HD 6900 card 2. Stereo, with the HHDMi output going to my projector as a 2nd monitor 3. This should work, but in the sound options it says "AMD High Definition Audio - NOT PLUGGED IN 4. I can hear the confirmation...

My Denon AVR-1612 finally died out on me, so I am looking for a replacement 5.1 receiver. I don't have much knowledge on audio equipment so, I hope someone can guide me to a good option I would like the keep the price modest, perhaps in the ~300 range. Currently the only thing I intend to...

If this is out of place, sorry about that feel free to delete. I'm technically justifying this question by calling it an accessory for my display, haha. Anyways I'm trying to find some quality blackout curtains for my Projector room, and it's driving me crazy. Everything I look at always lets...

I've got some old Polk TSi100 bookshelfs collecting dust, so I would like to connect them to my mothers PC (she's using monitor speakers, yuck). So I'm looking for recommendations on a wallet-friendly 2 channel amp to power them. It lists a recommended 20-100 watts per channel, so I imagine 30...

I have the Klipsch RW-12d as seen here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882780078 I didn't know until recently that it has an IR censor for remotes. I would like to get one, but I have absolutely no clue what remotes would be compatible with it. Can anyone suggest one...

This is really weird. I purchased a pair of V-MODA M-100 headphones, and when I plug them *securely* into my Xonar DX the sound becomes very low and distorted. Pulling the plug ever so slightly out will fix the problem, but I hardly consider that a fix. The sound card does not have this...

(meant to say headphone amps) I see lots of people recommend the E11, but I'm wondering what opinions here are in the sub-$100 range. The thing is I don't *need* the amp to be portable, so if there are better non-portable options I'd like to hear them. edit- I'll mention that I'm planning on...

Most recently I tried the DT-880's due to their great reviews about how comfy they are, but as usual that proved false for me and had to return them. A huge problem I have with most headphones is my ears rubbing against the inner part, this will make my ears very sore in a matter of minutes...

I'm bitstreaming to my Denon 1612 receiver through HDMI, in a 5.1 setup. All the speakers are 89-91 sensitivity. Some of my media is too loud at 0db (which I believe is normal). However my problem is some of the TV shows I have are so quiet that it makes me want to push them beyond 0db to get a...

I'm not sure how to explain tnis since I'm not that knowledgable, but I'll try! This is how I have things connected: Video card HDMI >> Receiver >> 5 speakers+sub When I use hdmi passthrough and bitstream to the receiver, this problem does not exist. However, when the PC is handling the...

This is how I have things connected Video card HDMI > Denon 1612 receiver > 5 passive speakers + powered subwoofer The speakers work and play audio perfectly fine, but nothing from the subwoofer. However, when I'm in speaker config shown here: I can hear the test tone coming from the...

This is what I've got so far in my annoying quest for a budget HTPC 2x TSi300 fronts 2x TSi100 sides 1x CS10 center Subwoofer undecided BenQ W1070 projector I've got absolutely zero experience with receivers or audio in general, so I'm looking for suggestions here. All I require from the...

I'm using a single HD 6950, and I want to switch it to the x8 slot. My question is, is it possible to still run it at x16 in that slot? Will I even notice any difference? My motherboard is an ASUS P7P55D Pro, if that matters. The reason I want to move it is because the sound card is incredibly...

I was thinking about buying a Blu-Ray player with DLNA support just for the DLNA alone. I wouldn't use the actual player or its other features at all, so that seems like kind of a waste. So my question is, is there a stand alone DLNA device out there that I can hook up to an HDTV? If such a...

1x EVGA GeForce GTS 450, looking for $90 shipped via Paypal Model Number: 01G-P3-1352-KR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130572&Tpk=EVGA%20GeForce%20GTS%20450 This card is what they sent as a replacement when I RMA'd my old 8800 GTS 512 a couple weeks ago. I have not...

I have to use my MB outside the case for a couple weeks while I wait for a case RMA, can someone please suggest a safe surface to place my motherboard on top of? Sorry if wrong section, wasn't sure where to ask this

The defect I'm talking about is described here with pictures included http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1061806-Urgent-It-s-official-my-Cooler-Master-HAF-X-is-indeed-one-of-the-faulty-ones. Does anyone know of a DIY way to fix this issue? I'd prefer not to RMA it if there's any way I can fix...

A friend of mine fried his 9800 GX. The card had a lifetime warranty, but he failed to register it within the required 30 days (nor within the last 3 years for that matter, haha). What I'm wondering is, has anyone ever attempted and had any success in trying to get them to help you out with a...

A few years ago, I believe I remember reading that it was a bad idea in general to use a Plasma as a monitor (can't really remember the reasons). I'm wondering if this is still the case today? I'm hoping to try and pick up a 1080p Panasonic or Samsung Plasma on Black Friday. I've never owned...

I've been using Audioengine A5's for a few years now with no sub. I'm on a tight budget looking for something in the ~$200 range to go with them. I don't really know anything about subs, but I've read that some are better for gaming, some are better for movies, etc. I use my A5's for literally...

I run Crystaldriveinfo every few months, and this month one of my drives came back with a "Caution" warning. 4 uncorrectable sectors and 4 pending sectors. I have no idea what that means, the only thing I could really come up with through Google is that it *might* mean the drive is failing and...

I'm having an odd detection issue with one of my storage drives. Basically, every time I do a normal shutdown and turn it back on, it stops detecting the drive. The only way to get it working again is if I do a cold boot. When I boot up from either a warm or cold shutdown, it sits there and...

I'm a little new to this so bear with me - I'll try to explain it best I can. Basically, I'm trying hook up both my ASUS VE276Q monitor and Toshiba 40E200U TV to my ATI 6950 card. My ASUS monitor is hooked up via dual link DVI-D cable, and the Toshiba is hooked up via D-sub cable+DVI adapter...

I recently purchased the Toshiba 40E200U. The first thing I noticed with it is that both 480p and 720p don't look too hot, but 1080p looks beyond excellent. I inquired Google, and this was the answer I found: That pretty much answered my original question, but it also spawned a couple more...

Being the cheapskate that I am I just wanted to make sure, it has been a couple years since I have needed to order any cables. I'm ordering a 10 foot DVI-D and a 10 foot 3.5mm stereo cable. On Monoprice that comes out to 9.62 + 6.60 shipping ($16.22). I swore that I remembered shipping on...

Looking to buy a 32, 37, 40, or 42" IPS panel TV, preferably 60hz and with decent input lag for occasional monitor use. More specifically, the LG xxLD450 series or something similar would be ideal. As far as the condition goes, as long as there are no scratches on the screen itself I don't mind...

Seems like a decent deal to me: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+32%22+Class+/+720p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV/9789707.p?id=1218175546750&skuId=9789707&st=9789707%20&cp=1&lp=1 Or price match with Amazon http://www.amazon.com/LG-32LD350-32-Inch-720p-HDTV/dp/B0039RNGNY Personally, I would probably pay...

Every time I cold boot, I get the "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause." error. However, after pressing enter to restart, it boots up flawlessly. Normal restarts from Windows are also fine. It's also probably worth noting that on a cold boot, it sits...

So far, my first ATI purchase in nearly 10 years is failing to impress me. However, if I can somehow manage to fix these 2 problems outside of replacing the card, I'll be a happy camper. If I'm forced to RMA it, I'll honestly never buy another ATI card in my life. Maybe I just have bad luck with...

I wasn't really able to find any recommendations on anything besides the Galant desks. As much as I want one, Galant just isn't an option for my area (Omaha, Nebraska). Anyways, I'm looking for a corner desk. My budget is around $350. As for size, I'll just use this Galant desk as a reference...

Basically, I want to use my ASUS VE276Q monitor as a TV in my bedroom (I don't have the box in my room, just basic cable via a coax). Since I'm completely new to this, I just wanted to ask exactly what I will need to accomplish this before I waste money on something that might be the wrong...

I looked at most of the other threads and didn't quite see any in the same ballpark as me. I've been out of the loop since the 8 series. I'm currently using a single 8800GTS 512, and I'd like to limit myself to about $300. I asked the same question maybe 8 months ago and was told it probably...

I didn't see this posted and it seems like a half decent deal to me. "Check out w/ $30 promo code EMCZNNT57, ends 1/1" http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236091 For reference, here is the [H] thread on this particular monitor...

When I plug my a5's into the Xonar, they emit an obnoxious hissing noise that gets louder with volume (and it is noticeable even at normal volume levels). To make sure it was actually the Xonar I took it out and tried out the onboard sound. Yay absolutely no more hissing! But I don't want my...

Whenever I play an MP4 file, it seems to load something that stays in my memory until restart. So after I restart, I'm able to delete/move all mp4 files without problem. Then as soon as I open one, I can't delete or move any mp4 files at all (not just that one). Other video types (mkv, avi, etc)...

Has this happened to anyone else? I picked up a CM 212 from Newegg which arrived today, and the AMD plate just straight up isn't there. I'm not using it for an AMD chip which is a relief, but i would've been pretty pissed if the other bracket was missing. I can't seem to find any reviews on...
