Yeah. I think the rubberdome keys / not 100% cherry is a valid argument. However, a lot of the other critiques are basically just saying, "You should do it like XYZ company because I like them." Of course you have to take some of the best features from other companies to keep it relevant but...

I understand the keyboard won't be for everyone. Aesthetically I love it though (except for the wrist rest). I'm not a fan of backlighting, and while I am looking forward to have mechanical keys again for the first time in 15 years the fact that a few of the keys is just not a big deal for...

I'm fine with the dome keys. Its on keys I rarely use and if I had to choose between that and a plastic casing - I would choose the keys every time. I want mech keys for gaming use and I rarely use those other keys. And I do not like the look or feel of plastic keyboards so I am perfectly...

I love the silver and will more than likely pick up the K60 when it released. However, a tenkeyless version would be great. I think most keyboards should have for customization options the following at least: tenkeyless vs full and backlit vs nonbacklit. I prefer nonbacklit and tenkeyless...

If I had to guess since the other one is a mac that it is for editing, Final Cut or the like, or something similar. I also have two PCs right next to each other; the second one is a Mac and I use it for work.

No offense taken. This thread got me to go back and try again. Much better this time but it was hard getting as many of the cables as I did behind the mobo. Would barely fit but I guess that comes with the territory. But I don't think I can fit anymore of the cables back behind the panel...

This is my first build and I tried to hide all the wires but looking through this thread has made me realize how bad my cable management job really was. By texashays at 2011-08-25 By texashays at 2011-08-25 By texashays at 2011-08-25 By texashays at 2011-08-25 By...

Need a bit of advise if you guys dont mind. This is my current setup: I will be buying a round extension for the right side tomorrow to move my imac down. And I am buying 3x 24" monitors for eyefinity. However, my 42" plasma now has to move. I have a 2.1 system I've added since that...

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm getting the U2412s. Not sure why I listed the other model, mental lapse I toguess. And about the screen tearing when you use different connections: I've heard that but I also hear people say they have no issue so I'm just going to bite the bullet so to speak and...

Hey guys, I'm having trouble finding the solution on AMD's website. I am about to buy 3x Dell U2410s. Right now I have 1 HD 6950 2Gb but am also going to buy a 2nd one. However, I'm assuming I won't have to buy an active displayport adapter but I am not sure. The AMD website says I...

Currently I'm using a 42" 1080p plasma tv for my monitor. Which has worked great as its pretty good for gaming and I also use my PC as a home theater. However, long bouts of reading on it have slowly killed my interest. I will still use it for Netflix and the like but for work and gaming I...

Here are my nominations for worst. Modern: Final Cut X (does software count? lol) Hardware wise, definitely the airport extreme. All Time Worst: Apple Pippin game console.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'll troubleshoot more soon using that article. Yeah, I have one ethernet cable in my room already for my work cpu, so I think I'm going to head to Frys and just pick up an ethernet switch to share the connection to my gaming pc instead of worrying about the wifi card. I...

Hey guys. This CPU is on the other end of my house of my wireless router so I expect slower speeds but the last two days have been insane. My isp is around 25mbps, but with wifi I get around 8-10 which is fine for what I do. However, according to speedtest.net my connection is roughly .50...

Hey guys. Quick noob question about setting up Crossfire. I know you want to stick with the same brand and card if possible but is it always best to be exact? I have an ASUS 2gb HD6950 reference model and am going to buy another to set up in Crossfire. However, ASUS is selling a 2gb HD6950...

Thanks guys. No, never unlocked the shaders. I just restored my system to the day before installing that windows update and that seemed to do the trick. Before I did that, it started locking up while playing music from my harddrive. That update was specifically for Direct2D so it shouldn't...

Hey guys. My system info is in my signature. For the last 4 days, my computer randomly locks up while streaming online video, not just flash but other types as well (silverlight, etc). I've updated all my hardware drivers, software updates, etc. I've uninstalled flash/java/silverlight...

Geesh, I didnt mean to start any kind of argument here. Thanks for the help everyone. I have no basement, down in Texas and the earth in most places is too hard to bother building a basement. It was security but I was speaking with a guy from the Help Desk and its a requirement simply because...

Yeah, I noticed it as well when I was writing it. I almost just switched it to "my phone" lol

Sorry for the image quality, its from my samsung focus.

Hey guys, I'm starting up a work-from-home position and had a quick question. My home office is about 50 feet from my router, which is fine now because I use wi-fi. However, the mac (I know) they are providing me will have its wi-fi abilities disabled because they want me to use ethernet. I...

Hey guys, I currently own a D-Link Xtreme N PCIe DWA-556 network adapter. I am in my bedroom, about 25ft and four walls away from my wireless N router (apple product). I am getting slow downloads (1.5 to 3.5 mbps) but my 5 year old laptop with a regular b/g adapter is getting faster speeds of 5...

Thanks guys. HardForums made this build much easier than it would've been otherwise!

Actually, I answered my own question! Turns out the sata end on the dvd-drive wasnt all the way in, stupid me. It seems to be working now! One final question: when I turn my pc on, it turns itself off after a second or two, then there is nothing for about 2 seconds, then it turns itself on and...

The 4+4 does not fit (the second 4 at least, one half does). It came on and posted, went to the screen where it identified the cpu, ram, and hd- all were correct. However, I turned the pc off at that point to clean up my workstation, put the sides of the case on, and came back and now its...

The asus p67pro mobo has an 8pin connector for atx power, I can not find the corresponding connector on my cm 800w silent pro gold. I have two 4 pin connectors but they dont match up shapes and then a 6 plus 2 connector but I'm pretty sure that one is a pci-e connector. Any ideas?

Thanks, I was able to get it to fit, I guess I was being too careful as I didn't want to break anything. But now another dumb question, when installing RAM, should the little 'cap' on the DIMM slots snap back into place after seating the RAM? I'm having difficulty and again, am trying not to be...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of building my new pc but am having a bit of a difficult time with a few items. I have a HAF 912 case and a p67 pro mobo, with the backplate for the ports that Asus gave me, the mobo does not line up with the spacers, however when I remove the port backplate, they...

Yeah, I was paranoid about long term future proofing and decided it would be worth it to go ahead and spend the extra money up front now. I'm in Austin, so just Frys here, no microcenter. Nice find on the OS though, I can pick up the wi-fi card from Amazon to satisfy the hardware requirement...

Ok, I finally got the money needed to finish my PC and I just wanted to double check my selections and see if there were any last minute suggestions. My purchase date will be either 1/27 or 1/28. Thanks so far for all the help, especially you Danny, that CPU combo deal was great as Civ V is...

Hey everyone. I've bought a few parts already and about to buy the rest in about a week. Of course, I'm going to go over my original budget but thats ok! I want to keep it around 1000 now instead of the original 800. I think I've decided to go with i5 2500k but need help finding a motherboard...

That article was far too biased and harsh though. AT&T is now calling HSPA+ 4g but only because T-mobile did and then the ITU changed their definition of 4g as well to include HSPA+. So, AT&T has every right to call it 4g because now, thanks to the idiots who caved in to market pressure, HSPA+...

Without that drive bay you can only fit 2 regular hard drives and 1 ssd. With the drive bay in I believe you have slightly over 12" inches of space so you could fit the 6950. However, it would be a very very tight fit and would take a bit of time and dedication.

The 912 can fit a full size card, the only thing is you'll have to remove the top 3.5" drive bays. Which should be fine unless you're planning on putting quite a few hard drives in the case.

I love the hardware of the new phones, and of course AT&T finally moving towards LTE but I'm not a big fan of Android. So I'll just sit and wait for my upgrade eligibility next year while I enjoy my WP7 Samsung Focus.

I would say wait. ATT is launching LTE in a few select markets Q1 this year and when they do they are releasing two (maybe three) smartphones: the Motorola Atrix and the Samsung Infuze. I just bought a Samsung Focus in November and I mighty jealous of the Infuze. Its the same AMOLED type screen...

Someone I know *cough cough not me cough cough* works at AT&T. Recently there are new changes and trainings that my friend had to endure, they were iphone-centric. Basically AT&T is creating iphone only call centers where the reps are trained to specifically customize their support around...

I forgot to post this in my original post but during my research I've come across two trains of thought. One (the one I went with) suggested getting a good CPU but great GPU. The other one I see recommends getting a better CPU (like an i5 or even i7) and a more mid-range GPU. I'm not sure if the...
