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 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...

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...

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...

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.

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 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...

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...
