Hi Guys... I just ordered the 96GB Kingston SSD drive deal. I was wondering what's the best solution to copy my C drive (windows and program installation) over to the new SSD without re-installing Windows and all the programs? TIA.

I got a used Compaq Presario SR1010NX computer from work and want to build it up to be usable for my Dad. It's missing some memory (which I have) and a hard drive. I'm looking here in hopes that someone got an old but working Ultra DMA hard drive (pata I guess) that they can sell me. I don't...

So last night I switch out the ASUS p8p67 Pro for a new one rev b3 (revised for Intel Recall). Because of the switch, I also put in a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ in a dual 120mm fans in a push-pull configuration. I ran Prime95 for about 30 minutes and i am consistently getting mid 50s (53-55c)...

Over the weekend I acquire some old Unix hardware for free. I happen to obtain a complete SGI Octane (include monitor, kb and mouse) and a Sun Microsystem UltraSparc 3D Creator workstation. I'm wonder how much this is worth? According to Google Shopping it's still worth like $400 even for a...

I bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ heatsink and fan. I would like to buy another fan that will fit this cooler so that i can make this into a push/pull configuration. Where can I get another fan that'll will fit (preferably the same brand fan that came with the cooler) at a good price?

Would it make sense to get two 64GB SSD and Raid0 them? I read that doing that would render the TRIM useless. Give me the full scoop on what TRIM is and does most SSD drive have TRIM support or is this on the high end SSDs.

So my sister-in-law is one of those over achievers (she thinks she smarter then everyone else). She like to create decently nice photo story DVDs to show off during family gathering. I like to create some DVD photo story of my own but I don't know much about the subject. I'm a technical geek...

So last night I rip out my old board (ASUS m2n) and put in the new ASUS p8p67 Pro and mounted i7-2600K and the stock heat sink. Putting in the heat sink was a bitch btw. I couldn't get one of the mounts to go in easily. But anyways, after assembling the mobo, cpu/heatsink and memory I go and...

About 2 months ago, the i7 950 was selling at Microcenter $199 in store only. Anyone know if they will go for that low of a price again or because Sandy Bridge is here and they will probably stop production of the i7 950 that the prices will likely go up instead. What's your thoughts?
