Hey guys, For a while my crossfired 4890's were serving me extremely well for gaming on a 1680x1050 single monitor. Unfortunately one of my GPU's died on me a while back, and another of my monitors is about to go now. So, I have been eyeing one of those Korean 27" 1440p monitors and I am about...

Ok guys, I want to build a small but powerful gaming PC. The ultimate goal is to be able to take it with me when I move to Japan next year for a year or two. It doesnt have to be so so tiny, as I want some actual expandability. Most importantly I need space for at least 3x 3.5" HDD's -...

Ok guys I have had my little WHS 2011 box setup for a while now and I am really feeling the storage squeeze with only 1 750gb 7200rpm OS drive and a 2tb Samsung F4 for storage. Right now I only have a 1tb drive for backups and about 300gb of free space left on my 2tb drive (running out of...

Hey guys, I have a huge dilema on my hands! My trusty wrt54g just died on me and I need to get a new one ASAP. I unfortunately dont have time for this right now, and it died at a really bad time (have 3 papers due this week!!). Anyway, I live in a house and I am trying to decide between the...

So I work for a university building, as the Sys admin's assistant. We have about ~150-200 computers in the building, and our own servers (Active Domain controller, file-server, computational server, and a few others). It is a fairly large network, but it is very hobbled together as several...

So I found what looks like a good deal on CL today. I have wanted some nice Home Theater speakers for a while now but havent been able to afford them (nor have I had a proper setup for them). Been working on that, and I think its finally time for me to invest in a proper setup. Doing some...

Hey guys, I'm in a tight spot and need to find a blackberry that is unlocked so I can use it internationally (India and China). Basically, all I require is a standard full-size keyboard (no Pearl), a color screen, and the charger. I will buy a new battery so that's not an issue, but I'd...

Please help me make up my mind! I am trying to decide between a Kingston V+100 96gb SSD and a Crucial M4 64gb. The kingston will work out to be $85 AR, and the Crucial C4 will work out to $100 AR I have dual 750gb HDD's now so daily backups wont be a problem, but I think 64gb is so small for a...

So my friend plays SC2, Left 4 Dead 2, and WOW pretty frequently (still considers himself a casual gamer though) Anyway, his laptop is very very slow and "laggy", even after a clean W7 install. --It is an HP DV9000 --Turion TL-56 (1.7ghz dual core, I think) --3gb of ram --Nvidia graphics (I...

So I just scored an amazing deal on some Klipsch Promedia 5.1 speakers ($200!) and they are an amazing upgrade from the promedia 2.1's I had. Absolutely great quality. Anyway, the original wires that came with them are pretty wimpy looking and definately too short for me to cable manage...

Hey, I need help identifying these Logitech speakers. They look like the Z series but I have no idea what model they are or if they are even any good. I have a set of PROMEDIA 2.1'S but I've always wanted surround sound too. Would it be worth it to buy these? They are $70 and I feel like I...

So im looking for a monitor arm to mount a third LCD to to turn my dual LCD setup into an eyefinity/surround tri screen setup. My only real requirements for the monitor arm is that it can swivel easily so I can watch TV in my bed, and that it has the ability to fold flush against the back of...

What are you guys using on your EVO's? I tried CM7 and Evervolv because obviously 2.3.3 is the latest and greatest, but Gingerbread is still just a little broken with the Evo (GPS was spotty for me and 4g is broken still). Anyway, I switched to the new WARM Z rom and it is so smooth and...

So I am seriously considering getting rid of my amazing Lenovo x301 lappy. Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely loved every minute of owning this premium ultraportable. Its build quality is top notch (best Lenovo I've owned, even better than my X61s). The x301 though, has terrible battery...

So I accidentally lost the spring to my Lian Li optical drive cover when I was trying to remove the optical cage in my Q11-R :( It is a super tiny spring that puts tension on the flap so it closes when the CD drive closes. Is there any way I can make my own spring?? Or use another type of...

Yeah, so need a Lian Li drive bezel if anyones got a spare lying around. I really only need it for the spring (I fucked up and the spring shot off into the abyss on my brand new Red Q11). Anyway, I guess any color will do (ill use it elsewhere), or if you are willing to sell just the spring...

Just pulled the trigger on this build from newegg :) Didnt get a PSU though, I want to experiment with a Pico PSU. I am figuring at least 150w for this setup. It will probably have a nice sound-card added soon though, and it will have a 1tb WD Greendrive internally as well, I think. Also, 2...

So I need to upgrade my dad's Crucial 64gb C300 asap as he is out of space on his main drive. I will be upgrading his whole machine at the same time. What is the best option for a 120+gb SSD for around $200??? The intel X25-m 120gb has a 35 rebate making it $195 The Vertex 2 120gb is $189...

So I am trying to build a SFF machine in a Lian Li Q11 or Q7 chassis. What would be the the best CPU to get for a low power application with a Pico 160w PSU? Guys at SPCR say a dual core i5 will run just fine on a 160w Pico, with a 150w "FSB" Brick...

So I took the keys off to clean the keyboard and somehow have completely misplaced the I key. I switched the pause key with it for the time being but if it doesnt turn up what options do I have? Logitech apparently doesnt sell replacement parts :( Been trolling ebay for non-working models but...

So my roommates both want OSX desktops now and dont want to pay for pricey Apple hardware. How glitchy are homebuilt OS X machines? Meaning, If I set it up and everything for them will it be a PITA to use day to day (driver glitches/incompatibilities)? Ive read up on people claiming that their...

Hey guys, Im looking to build a WHS box and I wanted someone to give me an opinion on this "barebones" config before I order it off. I have the case already (mini p180), and I have the HDD's sorted out already too. Will 2gb DDR3 be enough or should I go for 4gb? Any good deals on some...

So im looking for a way to stream my media library to 2 TV's in my house. I was set on building an HTPC/Server but I found out that that isnt gonna work. I want to have a central location for my library (so others can add to it, and stream from it at random whenever they want). I pretty much...

So I have my trusty Q6600 at 3.4ghz currently (1.3v, 28*c idle, 65*C Intel burn test) Would I see a noticeable increase in speed going from 3.4 to 3.8ghz? My G0 Q6600 needs 1.48v to do 3.8ghz stable and the only way I can confortably run that speed and voltage on my H50 is by lowering my room...

So my MX Revolution is giving me tracking problems with my Ripper XXL :( It wasnt doing this initially, or maybe I just didnt notice :( The problem is that the cursor will jump a few positions every now and then and is really annoying when selecting say a song in itunes. Anyone have any...

So I just got a used 4890 in the mail, did a driver sweep and installed the newest drivers. Loaded up DIRT2 and everything was fine. Got to a point where all the cars were on the screen at once, kicking up dirt and got huge slowdowns. Checked into what the problem was and my clocks appear...

So I just purchaced a set of 1tb enterprise level WD drives (2tb total) and I am looking for a great enclosure to put them in. I am going to be using them as long long term reliable data storage (to backup my other 1tb media drive and other computers) so I want to do everything I can to...
