    First Build Advice

    Get the biggest SSD you can and store most of your stuff on it. The speed of the drive is so important.

    Upgrading components and i need advice

    The intel 520s are very good. Intel doesn't inflate specs - they produce specs that match typical, real time performance. In my experience, Intel SSDs are every bit as capable for daily use as other drives.

    Droid - text messages problem

    Get an iPhone? All kidding aside, figure out why the text keeps failing. I'd start parsing logs or ask my carrier if I had texts failing to send more than very rarely.

    New Lumia leaks

    Because there are far more elegant ways to do it. I can search just as fast on iOS as you can with a button, but a button has zero capability to be upgraded or enhanced. They made the right move.

    Can any mobile phone is used as webserver?

    I make webservers in embedded applications all the time. The microcontroller frequency is typically 20-32MHz and it runs just fine.

    Will I regret buying a Galaxy Note-2?

    Waiting for the announcement is the right move. It gives you more details about availability, price, and competition.

    Virtual Drives and ZFS

    RAID is so much more trouble than it's worth these days. SSDs are so fast by themselves.

    "Real world use" performance between OCZ Vertex 4 1238GB vs Samsung 830 128GB

    I've used both drives as well as others. I'd go for the best price to be honest.

    Sounds like a dead drive to me. Try it in another computer.

    Can this card play these games?

    At resolutions that look sub-standard, the games should run okay.

    What are factors that can limit max. overclocks?

    The primary limit in terms of voltage is the dielectric strength of the gate oxide. Assuming you are below that threshold, then the primary problem is heat.

    Good AGP video card for an ancient system?

    It should be affordable at this point assuming you can find one. It was definitely a pretty good card.

    Weird issue after upgrading GPU

    I had a similar issue and a clean install seemed to fix it.

    is 27" really necessary?

    I'd never get a monitor bigger than 24" with a resolution as low as 1920x1080/1200. What a waste...

    After Testing with Multimeter, Still Confused

    The second set of values are within the ATX spec. Anything running of off 12V can handle 12.34V with no issues. Instead of waiting for more components to die, why don't you try a new power supply and see what happens?

    750w enough?

    Get a wall meter and measure it. There is no reason to engage in pointless debate. They cost $20 and you can use it for many other applications to test power usage.

    How much data do you use monthly?

    Yes, 100MB would be incredibly restricting based on my usage. My average use over the last 12 months is 2.1GB. I frequently listen to Pandora and I upload a ton of pictures of my daughter. I do most of that on wifi as well, so it would probably be 5x if it was all on the cell network.

    What is your naming convention for movie folders?

    I just let MyMovies do it in Windows Media Center. It's much easier than any of this manual file handling.

    Gigabyte EP43-DS3R MAC spoofing issue

    That's a good point. I was stuck on the MAC address because it happened immediately following that change. The computer has been stable for 2 years and it just made sense that the most frequent setting change would have caused the problem, but maybe not. Last night I actually got the...
