I haven't posted here for a while, but I saw on Newegg when looking for a new data storage drive that they're selling what looks like a thumb drive and they're advertising it as a 16TB drive priced at under $50. There are no reviews of the product so I'm not sure what to think? Fact or...

I'm not meaning to spam. Therefore I won't include a link as you're smart enough to figure things out if you're interested. I have been an Infinity fanboy for a long time, especially since I mostly listen to a pair of speakers I bought in 1995, that have been pounded through DJ jobs that they...

Good day fellow [H]ardForumers, I am back to working onsite rather than at home. My onsite monitor is 1440x900 and is small. I brought in my own personal Samsung SyncMaster 275t+ (27", 1920x1200, around $900 back in 2008) for a couple days back in early March before we were all sent home to...

Thanks again to those who helped on this thread. This new computer seems to be a big improvement over the last one. It is good for this covid working at home thing and also for entertainment. Video rendering is fast, and that seems to be the tallest task for it. The old hardware from the old...

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, Many years ago, with the [H]ardForum members' help, I built this: https://hardforum.com/threads/new-1st-time-build-research-not-enough-advice-requested.1346074/ If you're bored and you would like to read the thread (it is long and tiring to read), you will...

There are fireproof file cabinets and fireproof safes of course, but are there fireproof atx computer cases or NAS's? A family I know just went through a terrible (complete loss) fire. It took their entire home/garage/vehicles and almost all contents. I can't imagine how they feel. They are...

Kinda hard to type a decent post when the title mostly says it all. I've been very good about getting amazing cutting-edge technology for my computer tower and monitors, but the funny thing is, I've been pretty happy with my relatively simple old keyboard and mouse. Up until about 2...

Posting from Welch, WV, USA. I want to build a computer that can be priced between $1K and $1.3K (including tax/ship) for my 72-year-old mother. Since I'm buying this and I do have some flexibility, if you make it less or more with good reason, go ahead. She is replacing an old Pentium III...

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread that addressed it directly that was at least somewhat current. At this point it looks like a lot of 1.5 TB models seem to be the best, with the exception of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145298...

Well, I bought and built gear for a new computer, and all seemed well. For details, see the last few posts of this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1346074 Anyway, the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drive that I had bought as a boot drive (1TB) will not work. BIOS won't even recognize...

I have a new computer with external eSATA ports and a laptop with an eSATA port. I also have a Western Digigal "My Book" external hard drive (1TB). The hard drive also works for USB 2.0 and 1394, but I bought an eSATA cable to speed things up for when I back up entire hard drives. The laptop...

Hey, now that you know I'm not a spammer, can I switch my Hard|Forum account's associated email address to my hotmail address? Currently I'm using my wife's email address, but I'd rather use my own. Is this possible or against the rules? If this is possible, who should I contact? My...

The title says most of what I'm looking for. I recently built a new box that is running well, but it wouldn't accept my old fax modem (Brand: GVC Model: F-1156IV/R9F) from an old computer. I tried driverguide.com, but they didn't have any drivers for Vista for that modem. My...

I've been working on a box that I hope to use to, among many other things, watch broadcast TV - digital cable, HD cable, and regular oldschool analog cable. I would like to be able to also record VHS tapes to hard drive files and DVDs. Finally, I'd like to take videos from video cameras and...

After looking at the stickys, I didn't find a how-to for learning what kind of RAM I would need to buy to upgrade my wife's laptop Compaq Presario 2100 with a couple stickers that say 2170US. It was sold in 2003 with XP home installed with a cheap Celeron 2.0 (or 1.99) GHz processor and 192MB...

After some failed research at other forums, someone directed me here. After a couple weeks of wikipedia/Google research, I have learned a lot but not enough to be sure enough to buy. Searching threads here hasn't helped as my keywords may have been poorly chosen. Getting past a wish list...
