    Why are Founder's Editions selling for so much?

    If you're looking for a FE, you can camp on the NVidia store. Their 1080Ti's are periodically in stock. They're showing a 3-4 week lead time, but they're going for $699 .

    The [H]ardOCP Mini-Giveaway Sponsored by ASUS

    My nephew needs a small PC the can fit in drawer in his barrack/dorm, so he doesn't get dinged during inspections.

    Logitech MX 518, anyone still using it?

    I progressed from the 518, to the G5, G500 and finally ended up with the G502. It's usable, but it's not my favorite of the lot.

    16GB the new "Standard"?

    I agree with the proposition that 8GB is "standard", and 16GB "enhanced". It also matters whether you have dual/triple/quad support.

    970 SLI or 980 Ti

    Other that the possible 3 month wait for the cards to actually be in stock, (if it's another paper launch), I'd vote: 980ti.

    Use of old computers?

    I'd check with some local charities. They'd probably run Chrome OK, for checking email or social media.

    Resizing Windows Partition

    If you can obtain some temporary server resources, (possibly even pressing a decent PC into service), I'd stand up a temporary Esxi host and convert the DC to a VM. This way you can take the old server offline and move the VM online with minimum down time. Once you know the new system can...

    replacement for my RAT 7 mouse

    I also have a large hand and switched to the G502 after the death of my G500. I currently use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/IMAK-PRODUCTS-SmartGlove-Wrist-A20127/dp/B00Q2X7ZCK/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1432477319&sr=1-3&keywords=smartglove+large

    ESXi vs Skulltrail

    You are trying to install from the usb stick? Have you tried a CDROM, (if you have one) Can you try using another computer to do the installation to the hard drive and then move it to the system you want to use as a server? This will tell you if you having problems running Esxi on the...

    Positive RMA experience with Corsair

    I recently had to replace a kit of Dominator GT.'s They shipped me Dominator Platinums, the 1.5v ones. (Of course I had to go out and buy the light kits for them.) Damn you, Corsair and your subtle DRAM lighting!)

    nVidia Card with Horizontal Power Molex?

    Could you use a PCI-E extender cable and reorient/relocate the card to some place in the case that it fits? You might be able to use a display-port or HDMI adapter as short extender to get the video to the outside of the case.

    New Hard Drives

    It's a little hard to tell from the resolution of the images, but it looks right. A part number or link to the manufacturer's site would be definitive. However, it probably not much of an issue anyway. You could mount a SSD to almost anywhere with Velcro it you needed to. One of these...

    What wattage/VA UPS to get?

    I think the runtime is based on a continuous load, (which would be both full and average.) Check the graph on the product page: http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BR1000G If you asking if it considers peak load, (like during drive spin-up during boot), I don't...

    What wattage/VA UPS to get?

    APC has tools for calculating runtime, (primarily for their units.) By load: http://www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/US/en/home/load By device: http://www.apc.com/tools/ups_selector/US/en/home/device You could use it to get a rough estimate. Just be sure to specify the home versions as...

    Formatting hard drive - but not through Win7

    Depending on what your utility uses to produce power, there may be other reasons for not leaving a 100 watt device on continuously: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/question481.htm That said, at work we typically leave things on for decades. But compared to the plasma...

    Recommend a replacement for my Logitech G500 mouse?

    I moved from the G5 to the G500, and I'm currently on the G502. I'm "satisfied", but still miss the previous versions. What I find annoying, is that there is almost no way to determine the ergonomic aspects of the mice on the market without buying one. Bestbuy is probably the last brick and...

    Z97 board for Devil's Canyon build: MSI, ASUS, or Gigabyte?

    Doesn't ASUS have a Advanced RMA service now? I've heard enough horror stories about them that I brought an Asrock MB during my last update so I have something as backup. I'm curious about anyone's experience?

    FrozenCPU Shuts Its Doors

    While I almost placed an order a couple weeks ago, (thank god, they were out of stock), all my previous interactions were very positive. It's a shame it turned out so poorly for everyone involved.

    X79 BIOS update for new GPU

    Wouldn't it be nice it motherboard manufactures had "Bios upgrade simulator" on they website? Nothing too elaborate, just something that would let users move thought the menus in an environment where failure doesn't risk a expensive piece of hardware. (And potentially strand the users without a...

    new mobo minimum specs needed

    I second this. I just tired to help a nephew move to a new smaller case and motherboard. I'm waiting to figure how many hundreds I will end up losing. I could have easily purchased new CPU/MB/Ram for the same amount and also had a warranty.

    What is MSI RMA policy? I know ASUS has an Advanced RMA service now, but I've never heard anyone talk positively about their dealings with ASUS. Fortunately, their products seem to be pretty solid.
