http://touch.groupon.com/deals/gg-1-att-htc-one-x-unlocked-gsm-phone This appears to be the AT&T LTE variant of the One X (Snapdragon S4). It's the same price as the 16GB Nexus 4. Advantages over the Nexus 4: -LTE (compatible with AT&T and T-mobile) -Better camera -Better screen -Not a...

Hi guys, I have a Core 2 Duo E8500 lying around that needs a motherboard. Someone I know is offering me an X38 motherboard (flashed to X48), missing heatsinks, and previously used for LN2 overclocking, for free. I just need a stable system for everyday use (I might overclock a bit considering...

http://emerythacks.blogspot.com/2013/04/connecting-ipad-retina-lcd-to-pc.html Not sure how useful a 2048x1536 9.7" screen at that density is on Windows, but definitely seems interesting. $70 total for a super nice IPS screen, too.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494 This is really unfortunate. In exchange for its really nice design, the One is pretty much impossible to repair. Cracked screen? Bad battery? Broken charger port? You're pretty much out of luck for self-repair. By comparison, the...

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0386967 Not bad. $50 cheaper than at other places (Amazon, Newegg). In store only though. At the price gives the Kindle Fire a run for the money.

Lately a lot of people have been removing the AG coating from their IPS monitors. The risk of polarizer damage seems pretty high though. Now, just a thought: If you take an LED 21.5" IPS monitor (e.g. Dell U2212HM, which has a LM215WF3-SLC1), preferably a damaged one, take out the panel...

What the title says. Turned their U2711H glossy. http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=878149 Might be a worthwhile mod to people that hate the heavy LG IPS antiglare coating. Seems a bit risky though, and certainly voids warranty. At least two users broke their monitors while...

Sorry if it's been asked before, but is it possible to do strikethrough text on [H]? I think it's a great humor device and , , and most HTML tags don't work. Is it disabled on this forum?

This is a day or two old, but since no one else has posted this, Elitekeyboards has added three FC200R 87-key Leopolds, one with Cherry MX blue switches, one with browns, and an otaku model with MX browns, with blank keycaps. They're for $99 preorder as of now...

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6295119&CatId=1410 An HP 20" with IPS? WARNING/DISCLAIMER: The model number is based off the pictures. TigerDirect warns that "models might vary". You may get a non-IPS panel. You have been warned.

http://outlet.lenovo.com/close-out/27523ku.html QX9300 (should stack up well against i7), 4GB RAM, Quadro FX 3700M (128-cores), Blu-Ray Drive. Only issue is that it has Vista.

http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/2823wc7.html Here's a thin Thinkpad T400s with an SP9400 (2.4GHz), 3 gigs of RAM, and 1440x900. Should do really well against Acer Timelines and others at this range because it has a full powered CPU and 1440x900. And of course, the keyboard...

Found this from Notebookreview, see: http://forum.notebookreview.com/notebook-tech-bargains/539490-dell-ultrasharp-u2211h-21-5-w-ips-1080p-lcd-monitor-183-20-shipped-dellsmallbusiness.html You can get a Dell Ultrasharp U2211H, with an IPS 1920 x 1080 panel for $183.20 shipped...

http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/x-series-tablet/7450bp8.html X200Ts, slightly older model Thinkpad tablets for $800 or so. Yes, you can get a tm2t with an i5 for not much more, but its build quality is not going to come close compared to the Thinkpad. Core 2 Duo SL9400 (1.86GHz)...

http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/w-series/27523ku.html Core 2 Extreme QX9300 (2.53Ghz, should compare well against i7), Quadro FX 3700M (128-core Nvidia), 4GB RAM, 17" 1920 x 1200 display. If you want a decent laptop for CAD or gaming, but you want a matte screen, TrackPoint, and/or...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146896&cm_re=thinkpad-_-34-146-896-_-Product This is pretty cheap for a thinner model x-series Thinkpad with the s-moniker. 2.6-3lb, 1.86 LV C2D, 12.1" screen. Should be a decent alternative to the 11.6" MBA if you can live with only the...

I have an Optiquest Q9 monitor, which is notorious for poor quality power supply capacitors that fail after continuous use. Sure enough, my monitor died this morning, so I opened her up. The caps look fine. Not a single one is blown or bulging. Is it likely that the capacitors have still failed...

I've likely been infected by some sort of TDSS rootkit because of some symptoms like unauthorized google redirects and the blocking of certain AV programs, not to mention that Malwarebyte's has been giving me (likely false) negatives on basically every scan for the last month. I do keep it up to...

I'm aware that some people here use film and some make off topic posts about film, so might as well start a dedicated film thread. Post anything film related, be it pictures, gear discussion, darkroom advice, etc. I'll start by posting a couple shots. Ilford HP5+(sorry for crud on the scans)...

I found an old Dell GX270 lying on the street yesterday, so I took it home and examined it. The motherboard had several leaking caps, so I intend to replace them. However, today I tried desoldering them, but the solder on the terminals simply wouldn't melt, and stayed rock hard despite repeated...

Just wondering, since I've seen some interesting stuff on other sites that I would like to see posted here.

Unfortunately it's in German, but a bit addictive for me. The number on the lower left is altitude, and fly with the arrow keys. the number at the end is your rating out of 10 I believe. http://www.severin.ch/krassair/

I've got a 32-bit version of the Windows 7 RC installed on an older computer, and I was wondering if I could directly use the Windows 7 retail upgrade on it.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but: I use one of those cheapo 4GB Micro Center flash drives(uber-slow writes) and I never use the cap that comes with it since I always forget to reattach it. I wear it everyday around my neck with a strap and the head's still perfect(though there...

Is it possible to install F@H on a flash drive for borg purposes and run it off there temporarily on any computer? Except the installer forces installation onto the C:\ drive, but it would be a cool thing.

So I have an idea for single slot coolers. Since most single slot coolers these days simply blow hot air around inside of the case instead of expelling them out the back, I came up with this idea that would blow it out the back of the case: So basically the PCB would be similar to those...

The Pentium Dual-Core E6300 is now available at Newegg for $91. Came out quite a bit earlier than the supposed May 31st release date. Speced the same as the E5000s except for a 1066MHz FSB and VT-x support. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116091 This might actually...

Wish I could afford some. About $20 cheaper than the GTS 250. Also includes COD5. $100 AR. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130325

I have an old mATX HP Pavillion 7966 that's in desperate need of an upgrade. Currently it has: Pentium 4 1.7GHz(Willamette) 120W or so micro-ATX PSU Asus Nvidia TNT2 32MB 512MB PC133 80GB IDE hard drive I'm planning on upgrading on a very low budget, and as cheap as possible(<$140...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130482 About the price of most 1GB GTS 250s.

So I currently my laptop has the following: On a 40GB hard disk. 5GB Kubuntu 9.04 BETA 4-8GB(forgot) Ubuntu 8.10 partition(OS got busted, won't connect to internet.) Some amount dedicated to XP Home(primary) So I would like to integrate the Kubuntu and Ubuntu partitions while keeping...

I found this on the Egg, an open box Biostar 9600 GSO 384MB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141076R Pretty cheap for a 96SP GSO. So have 2 questions. 1. Anyone have experience with open box video cards from Newegg? 2. How's Biostar? I've heard bad things about...

I'm doing a build soon and debating over getting either one of these processors: The two are within $7 of each other after a combo deal. 920 + Gigabyte 770 board-$216.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.183653 720 + Gigabyte 770...

Just a random thought. If you take an X58 mobo and stuck two Nvidia cards and two ATI cards in the available PCI-E slots, would it work?

So I'm building a new computer soon to replace an old 1.7GHz P4 machine and I will be running Ubuntu Linux. So anyone have any suggestions? This is what I'm currently planning to get: Processor-E5200 Motherboard-Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L Cooler-Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 RAM-2GB A-DATA...
