Hey all, I am completely unfamiliar with the current laptop market. I just don't use them so I don't know much about them. I had planned to build a desktop for a family friend but he and his wife decided that she would probably be better served with a laptop. So here I am soliciting...

Hi all. I know I probably should put this in the PSU forum but I am in need of quick responses and I am not sure I would get them there. I am pretty sure my several year old Corsair HX520w PSU just took a crap. I had the computer hooked up out in the living room to the TV and decided I was...

So what is the consensus on the best near silent or quiet 120mm PWM case fans these days? I am going to need at least 4 of them I think. Suggestions are appreciated. Edit: Thanks to whoever moved the thread.

Hello all. I need to purchase a quality/reliable PSU today if at all possible in the hopes of having it arrive over the weekend. Would prefer it be a best bang for buck purchase. Needs to be able to power a simple home office rig running: 2500K (possibly overclocked) Z68 mobo with 24 and...

Hello all, I have a friend who is bedridden and without the function of most of his body (he can still use his right arm and hand). He would like to be able to use Skype. The issue is that the head of his bed is probably at least 15+ ft. from his computer (especially when taking into account...

It looks like, for November, Microcenter is having a "$60 off a mobo when you buy it with a 2500K" sale. Sounds good to me. Especially if the lower priced boards are good quality. It seems like you could get a 2500K and decent mobo for about $20 more than the Newegg price for the 2500K alone...

Seriously? D-bag move raising the price of the i3-2125 by $15 for no apparent reason. And no, trying to package it with a set of steak knives ain't gettin it! :confused: BTW, I do blame AMD and Ballsdozer for the price increase. For posterity

Since many here on [H] use PayPal to buy and sell I thought this might be of interest. Between them blocking donations to Wikileaks and now this, I know I will never again use PayPal. If you haven't heard of The Diaspora* Project then you should check it out. PayPal is blocking donations to...

Something is missing from this lineup. What the heck is the frickin problem? Is it possible they are having trouble getting the A8-3800 to run under 65W TDP with promised specs? The only one I was even remotely interested in...

For anyone who might know or can make an educated guess - is there an average time between the official release date and when CPUs are actually available for purchase or is it completely random/different each time? For instance, I am finished waiting on AMD (both for Bulldozer and the A8-3800...

Hey all, This isn't really an HTPC question but I figured someone would be able to help me out none-the-less. Would this Sony system be able to stream NetFlix movies over an AT&T DSL based N wireless connection or no? I have the feeling no but then I am not sure obviously. The system...

None at all? Do they exist? If not, is anyone going to produce one? Just looking for any info any of you all might have. I have checked and checked and found nothing.

Hello all, Looking for some help here. I have built several computers previously and feel like I am pretty good at getting them up and running. However, I don't know everything I should and I have run into what I think is a very strange problem. So, here goes... I swapped out some parts from...

Perhaps this should go in the "general hardware" forum but it is case related so I thought I would try here. What are people recommending these days for best CFM volume/lowest noise ratio 120mm case fans? I have read some reviews and it seems that some of the Noiseblocker fans are really good...

I found this on SD and just purchased a WD 640GB WD6401AALS HDD for $57.59 + tax (~$62 total for me) with free 2 business day shipping. The coupon codes used were: 7XRCSVHMT9VDL0 (20% off select dell monitors, storage, laptop accessories, and gps) 7LXC0FZZR54P3X (additional 10% off...

Hello all, I am hoping to get some advice on Laptops. I will, more than likely, be purchasing one in the next 3 months or so as my girlfriend is giving her Lenovo Thinkpad x60 to her sister-in-law and thus she will need a new one. The thing is, I have no idea where to even start. I have never...

Hello all, I am relatively new here and am really enjoying the forum so far. I am particularly pleased that this is a good community to buy and sell PC gear. I have recently purchased a few items from other members and everything has gone swimmingly so far. I noticed that Heatware seems to be...

Hello all, I haven't built a new rig in a year and a half but am beginning the process now and could use some advice. I was originally going to go with a C2Q setup (and still might) but the Phenom II chips look like they might be the best bang for the buck atm. Thing is, I am wanting a...
