I recently upgraded from the HyperX Cloud II to the Revolver S headphones, only to discover the case I was using for the Cloud II no longer fits the new set. The metal band on these makes these significantly larger. Has anyone found a good carrying case for these?

Every couple of years I ask the same question of this forum, and have yet to be disappointed. What is the current leader in terms of quiet, and still able to game at 4k? I currently have an nvidia 960, its working ok for me, but some games at 4k just don't play that well. I value quiet...

Since upgrading from an AMD 6850 to a Nvidia 960gtx, ive lost the sound in my subwoofer for any music from mp3's or pandora. Games and movies work just fine. Im running Windows 10, Nvidia 960gtx HDMI ---> Sony STR-DN-1040 ---> HDMI to Monitor I cant seem to find any setting to change to...

I never thought I would find myself doing any upgrades to a 5 year old pc.. but then again I didnt think I would ever have a kid or be married :) Despite it being 5 years old, I did upgrade it to a SSD, and have a video card thats about 3 years old now AMD 6870. It still meets my gaming...

I was looking to purchase a phone either used / refurbished or possibly even new if the price is right. Ive seen a ton of the older HTC EVO 4g phones for around 100 refurbished or used. Is this my best bet for a decent smart phone without any contract? Is there something else out there that I...

Intel - QX9650 Ive got this processor and the original box minus the fan/heatsink if anyone is interested in this. Im pretty much just looking for a video card thats better than a 512mb 8800gt. Cash may also be accepted but im not really sure what this would bring these days.

Seems I have fried an old xfx 780i mb and now I need to buy a new MB/CPU. Id like to stick to about 350 or so for a motherboard and CPU. The only thing that will be done on this is gaming. Just not sure what the best I can do is with this price range. Ivy bridge? Sandy? I dont really...

Im still rocking an old 8800GT in my pc.. I figure ive waited long enough to upgrade. The loudest item in my pc is my video card. Is there a 6850 that runs quieter than others?

I dont know if its me, but ive had 3 scythe 120mm fans die on me in 6 months. Well.. its not that they die, they just become extremely noisy, and start sputtering. I live in a smoke free / pet free house. I do have them on a fan controller, I suppose it could some how be part of the problem...

As the title says, is there any reason to use the 3gb sata connection over the 6gb connection for my hard drive? The drive if I recall right was a 3gb. I dont know if I should really care what Windows 7 thinks about my performance score, but before my upgrade, my video card was the lowest...

I guess ive decided Im going to replace the cpu/mobo/ram in my sig with a system. My board has died, and it seems rather difficult to find just a replacement board that will take DDR2. I have a Frys and a Microcenter near me, so I can take advantage of either. I dont need top of the line...

E8400 GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P 4GB Gskill DDR 2 800 BFG 8800GT 512mb Basically without any warning, it seems my motherboard has died. It powers up.. but everything stays at full fan speed, there is no video display at all, and no power to any USB port. Then it turns off after 30-45 seconds...

For some odd reason the windows 7 home premium upgrade discs I have will not boot. My second pc skips right over them like there is nothing there. I put in a windows 7 enterprise disc and it works just fine. I had bought these discs when they had the half off deal when you preordered the...

Im in the process of moving.. and while going through my things, I unearthed a box with a working Super Nintendo, Genesis, controllers and accesories for both.. and a ton of Atari 2600 carts. The SNES was working when I put it away.. I assume it still does now. Same with the Genesis. I had...

Ive never had any problems with windows 7 till now. At some point my pc must have rebooted last night, I see a patch was installed KB978207. Now im getting this error every few minutes that mentions OpenDNS. I had set one of my dns entries to opendns.. but now I cant even edit the network...

Is there an easy ish way to share one VM across multiple user accounts? Basically there is one program I need to run virtually, one user at a time, but I dont wish to create a VM for every user on the system. This would be a huge waste of space. I read the manual and saw something about...

And.. first impressions.. ITS FRICKEN SWEET! Graphics are better than I thought they would be from the previews.. Only complaint I have at the moment is it seems "Kiting" is the main tactic in this game.. just keep running backwards and firing. I hit level 7, and got 1 boss down before I...

I pre-ordered Borderlands today.. I was charged 65.48 before tax.. kind of an odd price for a game. The price on the website shows 59.99.. was I just jacked?

A buddy of mine has been playing on my 360 for a while. He played the hell out of Castle Crashers and would like to take his profile / saved games to a new 360 and make it live..is there an easy way to do this? I realize ill more than likely have to buy a memory card. Or can I make it a real...

One of three new Arcade games in XBL today. It seems to be like an updated "I made a game with zombies in it". Very similar game play, but with a 3Dish look. I played through day 4 before I had to leave for work.. lots of fun.. but also frustrating as the zombies even grazing you and its...

Theres a few out there now, any have any opinions about how well they work? If you are going to bitch about how I should just get used to the controller... this thread isnt for you!

I currently run a very small website for some family friends from home. It only gets maybe 10 hits a week. Right now im running it on Ubuntu 9.04, running wordpress via LAMPP. Im using a full size pc for this purpose(600watt psu e5200), and im thinking as it was 109 over the weekend.. there...

Just in case anyone was looking for a cheap router for flashing with DD-WRT, Frys right now at the store at least, is selling Netgear WNR834B refurbished routers for 30 bucks. These run the Broadcom chipset so DD-WRT is easy to get running on it. They have 4mb flash and 16mb ram. They have...

Just wanted to say that EVGA has come through big time for me.. twice! I had originally bought a 7800gt. Fan dies.. they send back a 7900GS 256mb KO. 2 years later the fan dies again.. and now they are sending back a 8800gt 512mb card. I just gotta say they rock.. the card is way old.. yet...

Anyone else enjoying the blood shed as much as I am in this game? Im really hoping this will be an on going series with a lot more to come.

When installing software or when coming back to my pc after the monitors have turned off (not sleeping, just monitors off) the secondary monitor blinks off and on. Its not losing the video signal since the monitor light stays green, it just simply turns off and on. Ive tried switching my...

So my xbox claims theres an update needed to play divx content and I need to be signed in to get it. Fine. I log in.. it downloaded an update.. disconnect from xbox live.. cant watch the movie. Why do I need to be connected to xbox live? Why wont the codec stay installed? Any ideas?

Ive got this baffling issue where no matter what I do, I cant download or save any files to any directory anywhere on the system. I can watch the file build up on the drive.. when it gets to 100%... POOF. Its gone. Its not in any temp folder.. its not in the recycle bin. Its just gone. No...

I have 4gb of ram, an e8400 processor, and a single video card. I dont plan on running SLI. Really the only thing that matters is it having more than 4 usb ports. Whats my best bet?

As many of you most likely know Seagate has had some firmware issues with their drives. Seagate has gone from being responsive, to just straight denial of an issue. Try mentioning Firmware in any thread on their forums and they immediately move the thread to a monstrous thread with so many...

Ive got a BFG 8800gt 512mb card. I run 1680x1050 on 2 monitors atm, I play tf2, wow, unreal. Im looking for something better than what I have, in the 200-300 dollar range. Ive always owned nvidia cards, but im willing to look at the other camp. Im a price/performance whore. I dont plan on...

I guess since the card is about a year old now, I was having difficulty in finding specs on the 7800gt. Im being offered a 7900GS KO as a replacement card. Is this really an upgrade? Thanks in advance.

After a month of talks with EVGA they have finally come out and said that the 7800gt video card is unable to use both DVI jacks at 1680x1050. Their solution? Buy their 8800! This really sucks. But what ever. I have a x300se PCIe video card laying around as a spare. I was thinking of...

For what ever reason I cant get my video card to allow me to use both DVI jacks at the same time. I can get one to work.. then the other with an adapter to make it analog. If I try to use it as a straight DVI, I get nothing, it doesnt even detect the monitor there. Im trying to use a...

I have a Viewsonic VX2235wm and a Viewsonic VA2012wb monitor. Both monitors work by themselves when plugged into my 7800gt. But no matter which DVI plug I use on the card, only 1 of them will be detected at a time. I can swap the wires.. same thing.. only 1 works. Is there something im...

I got hooked up with one of these last night: http://www.workriteergo.com/products/productmain.asp?famID=90 A friend of mine does office installations, and I guess they had too many of these and was told to get rid of them. Score for me!. Ill be attaching this to my Jerker Ikea desk...

I had bought a zune a month or two back. Since buying it Ive attempted to use the "wifi" feature of the zune to try to find another user. I had tried airports while traveling, malls while shopping, downtown San Francisco.. Restaurants, you name it. I have yet to see a single other zune...

As the title says.. im looking for COMFORT. Im 75% deaf in one ear.. so.. the sound quality isnt a huge deal for me. At the same time I dont want them to sound like crap in my one good ear. Around the ear type would be good so my ears wont get sore. My main use for them will be gaming...

I havent bought an Intel machine in a long time. This one will be for a buddy of mine. The main thing im not positive about is the ram. Perhaps the motherboard too.. is the 680i the best at this point? Anyway, this is what I picked out for him. He doesnt need a mouse or monitor. Case =...
