    Hard drive woes

    I've got an old (1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 if it matters) drive that I want to make sure there's nothing on it that I haven't already gotten off it. When I try and access it, it says: E:\ is not accessible. Access is denied. It doesn't show the size and how much is free like my other...

    Mini ITX Build critique

    Going to build a computer for a nephew for Christmas. Thinking of going with something fairly portable so he can haul it back and forth between his mom and dads house. Seems like he's mostly playing LoL and Borderlands 2 at 1080p lately. Borderlands was chugging pretty hard on his laptop...

    Best computer for single threaded work productivity

    Looking to put together something for work. The software does tons of single threaded number crunching and what I believe to be pretty light 3D rendering. I say pretty light because even when you're using the 3D rendering functions the computer maxes out the processor and that seems to be the...

    FS, two nice cameras, Silverstone cases, older computer parts, iPhone 4S

    No heat, but do have 100% eBay. I'm going to start listing a lot of this stuff on eBay over the weekend most likely, but would rather sell it here of course. For cheaper items, since no heat, I'll be happy to ship them first and you paypal me on receipt (for people with lots of heat...

    Thinking about new SFF rig

    Went to toss my previous desktop build into my CW02B for use in my theater room and I think I got sloppy (which is easy, because the CW02B is kind of a pain in the ass) and scraped the back of the mobo against something and killed it. Been wanting to build an SFF build anyway, so thinking I...

    4GB 770 Unsuitable for air cooled Tri SLI?

    I've been trying to find a 4GB 770 with blower style cooling for Tri SLI and it seems like none are really suitable. The 2 GB appears to intake from the back and exhaust on the front: https://www.evga.com/articles/00748/#2771 The 4 GB appears to have a solid back? So it either intakes...

    Water Cooling Maintenance?

    Thinking about water cooling and had a few questions, main one is about maintenance. How much time do you spend with (mandatory, not just for fun or tweaking) doing maintenance, and how often? I generally like to get things just the way I want them, and then not fiddle with them for a year...

    New gaming build, or revitalize my old one?

    I recently upgraded to a U3014 and, not surprisingly, things are chugging on my 2010 desktop build fairly badly (mostly playing Bioshock Infinity maxed out). Here's what I've got: 1 x Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601930 3 x G.SKILL...

    High end universal remote?

    I'm finishing up my home theater and want something that is pretty fancy (i.e. big touch screen) and something that can do RF (all my equipment will be put in a closet, eventually, I think). I've got a Harmony 880 and have had it since shortly after it came out, but the thing pisses me off...
