I have a SanDisk Ultra SSD that is kaput, it was the drive the Win 7 installed. What do you do when you need to RMA the OS drive? Just sit it out? Do you keep a backup hard drive with an OS installed to still be able to use the computer? RAID? I have had more than my share of hard drive fail...

I don't really care about sound quality so long as it passes a pretty low bar. I currently have some ancient Microsoft Digital Sound System 80 speakers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Sound_System_80) and the quality is fine for me. The problem is that the volume buttons don't work anymore...

I have a new Nexus 4 on Tmobile with their 100 minute, 4GB data plan and it is going to be a little tricky keeping the talk to only 100 minutes a month. I can do outgoing calls just fine over Skype but I was wondering if there was any way to forward incoming calls to Skype when I am on WiFi...

I have a Google Nexus One with ATT. I am looking to get to a cheaper plan and was eyeing the Nexus 4 on T-Mobile but am trying to figure out data speeds. I know my Nexus One is a 3G phone. And I have seen articles saying that the Nexus 4 is not 4G LTE... So will the Nexus 4 offer better...

I cant find this for sale anywhere, is it possible to actually buy it?

I would like to stay within $750 for the tablet and keyboard but that is flexible if I can get a lot more by spending a little over that.

I am a little lost when it comes to all of the new Windows 8 tablets. I am a CS instructor and would rather use a tablet for my general grading and class presentations. I have checked out the Surface at the mall and liked it but RT just wont cut it for me. I need to run other legacy programs...

Yep, I was sad to see it was sold out on monday. Got your new recommendations. Thanks!

Could I get another suggestion for a setup? I waited for cyber Monday to see if there were and better deals but missed the 1 or 2 that did show up. I went to order this and the MSI Z77A-GD55 is discontinued at Newegg. I will be ordering today if there is another good option.

As per the title, I got a GTX 660 now am looking to make the processor match. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming with a little bit of video editing, but that is secondary. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I would like to...

I would set up a FTP server myself. I would use Ubuntu Server because its free and adequate for the job. If you go that route here is a quick guide for setting up FTP: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FtpServer And here is a guide for setting up Samba for local file sharing...

I am setting up my first RAID setup ever and am a little confused on the difference between the Intel and Adaptec options for the RAID CodeBase. This is on a Supermicro X8SIL-F motherboard. The manual says that I can choose between the Intel SATA Host RAID Utility and the Adaptec Host RAID...

Looking at it again there will not be enough clearance for the CPU fan under the hard drive bay. So it would take some serious modding to make this fit. Anyone got any good cheep creative uses for a mini-ITX case? I already have a media center, and Ill be building a home server with the next...

I just got my Lian Li PC-Q08 case. Unfortunately I was expecting to put an X8SIL-F, Micro ATX motherboard in it. Turns out I can't. That will teach me to change my mind about the motherboard at the last second. So, now what do I do? Ship the case back to Newegg? I don't really want to...

There seem to be a fair number of Linux and open source jobs in the Portland Oregon area. It seems to depend on your geographic location.

I am a CS student at Oregon State University and we are already moving over to open source text books for at lease one class and it seems to be going well. Maybe I am mistaken, but I believe MIT and Stanford and making some of their textbooks available online for free as well. It's only a...

I am just wondering if anyone here has replaced the top fans in the NZXT tempest. I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get those suckers out.

http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ Install it. Right click an empty folder. Select "Make a repository here". SVN Repository made. Let me know if you get lost along the way. But its fairly straight forward.

Rock on. That looks great. Thanks!

Its hard to get a lot out of him. I just talked to him again. He wants 3+ hours of battery life (presumably with normal use, not gaming). He also wants it to be a small laptop or large netbook size. I am leaning towards the M11x. How big of a difference is he going to see between the Core...

I am looking to spec out a laptop for a friend who is heading off to college in a year. He wants a gaming capable laptop for less than $1k. And that's a hard upper limit. MAYBE I could go $1099 because I see you can get something like a M11x with an i7 for that. As long as it can run...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I might host my own low traffic website, maybe run a game server now and then, wake up other computers for RDP when I am away, store all my data, serve media to my other computers. I also want to always leave this on...

I am just thinking if I am on vacation or something. I suppose the pet sitter could do it. :P I think I will just stick with the more minimalistic path. I mainly want it for pet CS projects more than I want it for uber hard core servering.

If I can boot with IPMI but cant otherwise, that may well be a sticking point. I wont be installing OSes that often I hope so if that is the only real benefit I will see with IPMI then there will be no real loss. If otoh I can use the server while at a remote location more easily/have more...

Alright, this doesn't sound that bad. I am looking now at the difference between WPF and Windows Forms. From my brief research it looks like WPF allows easier (or at least more extensive) UI customization. I am a graduate student in human computer interaction so I tend favor ease and...

Can it find the SSID without you entering it manually? Can it connect if you disable the security?

I am working on creating a desktop application based on a website I made. Essentially it is a web application to input various data, search for it and generate reports with it. Nothing that complex at all on the back end. It uses Microsoft SQL Server for all the DB stuff then it uses SQL...

My goal for the remote access would be to have an access point to start and use applications mainly. I do a bit of robotics and would like to be able to access some of that stuff from afar. Most of it is some flavor of interface written in C or Python. It would also be nice, if power went...

Bump because there were no replies yet and I totally changed the question after doing more research. Doh, thought I could change the thread title... now the thread is totally mis-titled. Could an admin either change the title to "IPMI vs Remote Desktop" or delete this mess of a post?

1. I am a CS graduate student and I charge people a flat fee typically to set up a basic website. Typically I get them up and running with a content management system like Drupal. The cost goes up if they want to be able to have a storefront. If they want something more specific with some...

So having done some more research on home server setups I want to know what the difference is between IPMI 2.0 and just using a remote desktop. I was all set to go with a dirt cheep Atom setup but have seen a number of people talking about how great IPMI is and I am wondering what the big...

I decided to go with the WNDR3700. What is a good wireless networking adapter to go with it? I cant seem to find any wireless adapters that have generally good reviews on Newegg.

I am mainly looking for a router that allows for a lot of fiddling with. Is that 'open source' router any good? Should I just go with the WNDR3700?
