    What KVM Switch will do it all?

    I have the Razer BlackWidow 2014 keyboard and the Naga Epic mouse. I am wondering if anyone has experience with these and a KVM switch, or anyone who knows enough about them to recommend one for me that will work. Money is not the issue, so if it costs a couple hundred dollars, that's alright...

    Network pics thread

    Well I'm just starting out with networking and am proud of what I have accomplished thus far. Someday I'll be advanced as you all! :)

    do i need router, bridge, or range extender

    FWIW, to clarify what each component does.... A Bridge connects two network segments together -- wireless or wired. Bridges can also be used to change the type of media information is sent across, for example a router will send a signal to a bridge, which turns the wireless signal into a wired...

    (Pic included) I have cox. My DL and UL speeds are completely reversed!

    Sure enough they sent a technician out. However, my upload speeds are still pretty awesome, and higher than they used to be. Looks like everything worked out pretty well. :) The peak UL speed during the test was 19!! Prior to them coming out it was somewhere around 10-12, which is what I...

    (Pic included) I have cox. My DL and UL speeds are completely reversed!

    So I actually should be getting 36 down and something like 5-7 up. I was trying to watch a video today and it kept buffering. I ran a quick little speed test and got some very interesting results that I have yet to see. Any thoughts on this? I have already contacted Cox and have an...

    Clone OS from HDD to SDD

    True, the most annoying part to me are the Windows Updates. They take so incredibly long to install!

    Clone OS from HDD to SDD

    2 days to reinstall? Did you install from a bunch of floppies? :p Just get the ISO, copy to flash drive using the W7 USB/DVD tool and install. To make fresh installs easier in the future, save the drivers and fresh install programs. For instance, I like CCleaner, FireFox, FileZilla, Plex...

    Optimal System Memory Size for Handbrake?

    This all the way. I work at Best Buy (selling computers) and so many customers complain about computers only having 4 or 6 and so many people think they need 8 or more just to watch youtube or make powerpoints. Then a lot of times I'll go into task manager and point out that even with all the...

    GTX 670 DirectCU Mini - Smallest GTX 670 Released by ASUS

    That is a pretty awesome tiny little card. That tiny card in a tiny box could beat the pants off a PS4 lol.

    Thoughts on 7xx series becoming outdated...

    Wow, thanks for the fantastic responses everyone. This seems to have stirred up a little debate. That's what I'm aiming for. My philosophy is very similar to yours. Yeah, I haven't read too much about Maxwell, but there's no way I'm holding out that long LOL! Yes I upgrade very rarely...

    2GB or 3GB @ 1080p?

    I recall reading an article a long time ago where someone performed a series of in depth comparisons of ram in video cards and the effect on performance. The result was not much of the memory was being used, per se. However, adding a second or third monitor increased the usage of the ram. I...

    Thoughts on 7xx series becoming outdated...

    Great. It was the first and only time I had invested a significant amount of money in upgrading my graphics (to me at least, I was 17 at the time) and a year later I was already outdated. I was so mad when I saw that my card wouldn't be compatible with newer more awesome games -- I had just...

    Thoughts on 7xx series becoming outdated...

    The last time I made a big investment in upgrading my graphics card, I was let down. I had gotten the 7800 GT (from BFG lol) and about a year later, it was already outdated due to the new version of DirectX that was not compatible with my card. So now I want to upgrade again possibly to titans...

    Triple Titans: X79 or Haswell?

    Clearly you're looking for gaming support. If you're using four Titans, I don't see how your CPU would affect performance in any way shape or form aside from using a benchmarking program. Four Titans will run games amazingly with even an i5 and below. Your question seems almost pointless. Go...

    Corsair Employee Purchase Program?

    Does anyone know of one? My coworkers (Best Buy) said there is one, but I cannot seem to find it. It would be like the Intel Retail Edge program, I suppose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sending a file from one computer to another

    Well I do have a copy of WHS 2008 laying around here somewhere, but VPN does sound interesting. I think I'll check out VPN. So if I recall correctly, with a VPN you can send and receive files from multiple computers without any particular one being a server or "host" computer -- as long as...

    Sending a file from one computer to another

    Flash drive Lol... So if I make my computer the server, can I connect to this server computer from the other computer across town using IP addresses? My purpose is that I'm planning to build a personal home server than I plan on accessing on a regular basis from remote computers. Before I...

    Sending a file from one computer to another

    Heres the scenario: I've got one computer at home, and another computer at a friends house across town. Both computers are up and running and I want to send a file directly from my computer to their computer without using servers. How is this possible? What kind of software do I need? It...

    I love my Blackberry Storm!

    What unlock issue? I'm running the hybrid that was the first .141 form available and all I did was swap replace the java file from .141 to my .122 folder and mine is running perfectly. No hiccups (except that QuickLaunch flickers). I dunno about reccommending it to someone when they don't...

    GTX 285 PNY - temperatures

    If I were you I'd lower the clock speed of the GPU to something that you actually need. I'm highly assuming that if it's at ~80 C that your fan is running 100% already, but check it to make sure it is (cause if it's not functioning properly then you will have high temps). Plus, you may want to...

    Will GFX cards be compatible with the next DX?

    Hehe. I have a 7800, but was thinking of upgrading to one of the GTX 2xx series; but if I'm going to need a new card to play DX11 then I'll just hold off for a while. So will current DX10 cards be able to play DX11? I have a feeling that DX11 may be much more widely adopted, compared to DX10...

    Will GFX cards be compatible with the next DX?

    I'm close to getting a new card, but it occurred to me that it will not necessarily be able to play the next DX (12/12.1??). Can anyone offer a little insight?

    nVidia Tegra processors, what's the deal?

    I think I'm missing something, and perhaps someone can help fill me in. I was following the development pretty closely and about six to eight months ago it seemed to come to a halt with info and news. nVidia's web page hasn't had any new info for a while either. This technology seems so...
