Greetings, I’ve got a conundrum I’m hoping somebody can help with. I built an A/V setup in my classroom centered around a PC (my build: Windows 10 Pro w/ a GTX 750 GPU), a Yamaha RX-A760, and an Epson EX 9200 projector. The computer sends a signal via HDMI to the receiver, which then sends it...

Up for offer is a package deal on an MSI GTX 1080 Armor 8GB OC graphics card and a matching EK-FC1080 GTX TF6 Nickel water block, both brand new in box. The plastic wrap on the GPU box is still intact. The waterblock box has only been opened to take pictures; the block is still sealed in the...

Hey all, This machine is dying, so I need a new laptop. Something which sports a 15.6” screen with a 1060 gpu, a durable chassis, a keyboard that doesn’t suck, and good cooling. I’m also limited to the $1500ish range. I think I’ve got it narrowed down to either a Clevo P650hp6-G or an MSI...

Ygpm for the RipjawsX RAM kits

I certainly don't have expectations that are too high, Verge - 1080p is will never be (or anywhere close). You can't enhance what isn't there. In most cases, I am just sourcing newer formats or newer replacement material. Some of my old classics, though, aren't available any other way, and...

Thank you both, and thanks for trying to get that info, Michalrz, even if it didn't work out. From what I've come across, it seems I'm best off having whatever is doing the capture do upscaling along the way, rather than play with the resulting digital file with software. So if anybody has...

Hey all, I’ve got a fair number of old VHS tapes with material I still use for my history class. I update to DVD or HD when I can, I have some high quality stuff which was never available in newer formats or given more recent coverage. I’m looking for advice on how to digitally capture the...

Awesome. You've got PM

Does the Call of Duty: Ghosts you have for sale activate on Steam?

YHPM sir

Thanks HammerSandwich - I did try that former, and it failed. I was about to embark on the latter, but then I appear to have solved the issue. On a hunch, I went back into and assigned manual metrics to the adapters again. This time, instead of "10" for wireless and "20" for ethernet, I...

Hey all! I find myself needing some networking assistance, if anybody is able to lend a suggestion. Here is the set-up: I’ve cobbled together a dual-projector A/V setup for my high school classroom, so I can teach in something better than the 1950’s environment the school provides. The whole...

Agreed, rhansen5_99. Not only for budgetary reasons, but it certainly can't hurt to offload some of the video work from the old i3 to the 2GB dedicated video ram on the 750 gtx. No reason to spend money to make my long-int-the-tooth cpu do more work. Hopefully if I can limp it through this...

Don't get me wrong - I *am* facing them. Just not behind a podium or desk. I've got maps all over my walls, and I move a lot from one front side of the room to the other, sometimes ranging down a side wall to a particular map or image to make my point. Moving about like that not only helps me...

I will be minimizing cable length - the two projectors will be sitting only two or at most three feet to either side of the cpu. Both will be HDMI. I'll be running one cheap-ass monitor; I'd assume a 19" on DVI would be all that I could get out of IT. It would be right atop the cpu. The...

You do raise a good point, rhansen5_99. I'm always moving around interacting with students during my lecture/discussions (I've got no use for those teachers who sit at their desks while students do book work - get your ass up and teach, damn it!), so I'm almost never at my desk with a monitor...

Thanks, defaultluser - I appreciate the advice. The guts will be an old i3-540 on a MSI P55-CD53, so no mobo outputs for me. Old, but It's from the parts bin, so it's effectively free, and by your advice, it should be cheaper to buy a discreet gpu than get a new proc/mobo combo.

Hey all, I could use a bit of advice here. I’m a high-school history teacher. School budgets being what they are – nonexistent – I’m trying to update my classroom setup on my own dime. I could use some advice on a budget-but-capable GPU. Backstory: I hate mixing text and images in a...

I'm interested in the keyboard if you still have it available. Let me know.

I'd like one of those keys, if you still have one. Do you take PayPal?

In the past, sure, but not during this Summer Sale (which is what I meant - guess I should have been more clear . . .).

Finally, Portal 2 at 75% off. Took you long enough, Steam.

According to an article I read this morning, Microsoft just issued a statement saying it isn't so. Of course, who knows what the longer-term future holds, but it does look like that July death-date isn't going to happen. GFWL still sucks, but it looks to continue sucking for a while yet.

I wonder if this is primarily an enticement aimed at speeding up the resolution of employees already in the process of getting fired? Unless you are a small company operating solely in a right-to-work state, firing folks can be a costly proposition requiring a lot of documentation over...

Thank you, Google - more cool stuff for my classroom. Whatever else you can say about them, some of their products do generate educationally useful stuff. Images like this sure help in a world where taking kids down the cafeteria would break the school's field trip budget.

No worries - sorry if my response was unduly cranky. :) Ohh, for an edit button here . . .

Logically, you are absolutely right. Yee's gun-running gangster-dealing should be bigger news, and the Christie story shouldn’t be, because he was only involved by association. All I’m saying is that it’s too simplistic to just chalk it all up to an evil left-wing media out to get Republicans...

I'm sorry, exactly what point did I bring up that you disagreed with? Are you seriously disputing that the Christie story posed more nationwide interest than the Yee scandal? Or were you just cranky that I had the hutzpah to look for other factors at work, rather than just chalking up...

I'm not going to wade into the red versus blue media debate, but I will point out that, in this instance, there are other factors at work. Christie was a household name as a presidential hopeful, and thus the shenanigans surrounding him offered far more "scandal-power" than does the indictment...

Sooo . . . he pushed gun bans so legal weapons sales wouldn't be able to compete with his smuggled arms? Well thought-out business plan he had there :p

That. was. awesome. Thanks, that made my afternoon.

I looked at Case Labs, but for 12 bay ones, you're talking about $500+ per case. . . and I need two. The only true double-wide they sell is the TX10 line, at a minimum of nearly $800. Even buying a pair of Lian Li PC-A79s would be cheaper. I know they're great cases, and I may someday get...

IF you can find one, that is. They seem to have largely disappeared from the market last I checked. Xigmatek still lists them as a currently made case, so I don't think they're discontinued, but they seem like they might as well be, for all the availability you'll (not) find. That said, I'm...

For the project I was discussing on my other post, I’ve decided to put a “spacer” in between the cases. I figured that if I didn’t do that, I’d be unable to access the “inboard” sides of the drive racks to screw/unscrew anything. I’m probably going to go with a 5-inch space, which will be...
