I am in the process of building a storage array, using a Supermicro 846 chassis. Now...I don't know if I ever really intend to fully fill this beast of a case, but it was free to me, so I'm utilizing it.
I did some quick napkin math, and wanted to see if I am interpreting my numbers right. I...
I needed a "new" PCIe-powered GPU (so no external power connections), and found a good deal on one on Facebook Marketplace.
It never even occurred to me to ask if it was from a non-smoking environment. After I picked it up, I could barely make the drive home with it. It stinks something bad...
Seems to be a good deal. Their fastest SSD, with a Heatsink, compatible with PS5.

Curious whether this upgrade would be worth it.
I currently have a 3700X running on an X470 motherboard, 32GB RAM.
I can get a good buy on a 5950X running on an X570 motherboard. Is this a worthwhile upgrade? I know Zen4/AM5 is not terribly far away, but I also know it will be expensive to...
WTS some stuff just sitting around. Might entertain trades, just depends on what it is. Originally was looking for a Radeon 6900 xtxh (plus cash on my end, obviously), but might wait for either the refresh coming or wait for the 7x series. Pricing based on a quick scan of ebay.

Per the title, I am looking for the best Android Verizon Phone I can get for less than $200-$300. My daughter's phone (Samsung A10E) is due for an upgrade, and the screen is all cracked.
I told her I would get her a phone up to $10/month, but after reviewing all the phones Verizon has, I was...
Is there a resource out there that talks about which cards are which (differences between them and whatnot)?
Are there any flavors to stay away from (Is reference good or bad)?
I actually just got a 3070 Ti in a Best Buy drop (happened to be looking when it dropped). I didn't really check what...
Per the title, I am looking for a Surface Pro w/Type Cover or other similarly light/thin notebook/tablet for my daughter for school. Looking to keep it at $200 or under, but I can stretch to $250.
Must be light/thin! These kids have to carry so much, that even a "normal" laptop is too bulky...
So this didn't happen here, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this? Is it legit? Should I worry?
I purchased some magic fire buttons from a bang stick auction site about a month ago. I paid with a Credit Card via Paypal. I got the items, and everything was happy and...
Looking for an inexpensive laptop for my mom. Mostly used for web-surfing and web-based games (like facebook games). Also used for family genealogy.
I'm thinking something along the lines of i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. Nothing major, but I do want it to last her a while.
Looking in the...
So with this whole Covid mess going on, and the schools starting in virtual learning, and moving to face-to-face, my daughter (8th grade) finds herself in need some......well...something to lug around school. These devices will be utilized even in the school once face-to-face recommences.
She...
I cracked the screen on my S10+ last weekend, and might just buy a new one rather than pay to fix the screen.
Does anyone have a S10+ or Note 10+ (preferred) in good shape that they are willing to part with? Either Verizon or Factory Unlocked.
Ok. After blowing through the white sample that was included with my Ender 3 Pro, I am on the hunt for everybody's favorite filament. When I bought the printer, I also purchased some Inland PLA+ to go with it. I haven't used it yet, as I pretty much have to wait for my PTFE tubing for my...
Per the subject, I just finished building my first ever Ryzen system. I threw a Corsair H100 (original) on it, because I had one laying around.
I wasn't too sure on how tight the bracket should go (I was using a screwdriver to turn it...it didn't bottom out - not sure if it should be or not)...
Looking for a 10TB-12TB HDD.
Can be a shucked drive, I don't care. Being used to store movies. I won't argue with a 14TB either, but I think those are probably out of my price range for now.
Budget is ideally sub-$180 for a 12TB, as I think that is the price point the shuckable drives go for...
I have been looking to get into this recently. Probably mostly for odds and ends, but it might lead into miniatures for D&D.
Just watching some videos, resin-based seems to be a huge PIA, but it has a lot higher resolution for things like miniatures.
What would you guys start with? If you...
Currently, we use MicroFocus Zenworks (ugh) for some of our helpdesk functions. We are looking to replace this. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on what is out there that serves our purpose?

I have a problem that I can't quite figure out.
Fresh Windows 10 Pro install. When the PC is not joined to the domain, everything works fine. When the PC is joined to the domain, I cannot access ANY Google sites at all, but can access pretty much any other site I've tested. This affects all...
Currently, we are an HP house. That said, we don't have any specialized pricing due to size (we have ~700 PCs), nor do we have any special tech levels of support other than standard business.
We are in a position where we contracted out some infrastructure work, and we went into that project...
We'll see if I get any takers...
Long story short, I took too long to actually put my Ryzen system together. As such, my brand new, unopened Ryzen 2700X sat there while the Ryzen 3's came out. My loss is your gain
I'm looking to upgrade to a Ryzen 3, and would like to sell the 2700X

Daily, I keep getting the following alert/warning when Veeam tries to back up a (powered off) VM located on our Horizon VDI VSAN cluster:
"all stuck VM snapshot consolidation attempts have failed"
I have checked the VM multiple times, and there aren't any snapshots on the VM. There was the...
I have been trying to figure this out, and keep coming up blank.
How can we get bookmarks from Chrome/Firefox to show up in a Horizon instant clone desktop for any particular user who logs in? Internet Explorer is easy, as it is in the same location for every user, so it is very easy to bring...
Ok, I need some help here. As we all know, Windows 7 support is coming to an end. To that point, we will be starting our migration process shortly (all new machines are currently going out with Windows 10 though).
Part of what is holding us up is the daunting nature of it.
Our current plan...
I have an original Swiftech H220 that has been sitting in a box for years because the pump died. I recently got a new 2700X system and thought that I could just replace the pump in this rather than buy a new cooler for the Ryzen.
So I have a couple of questions:
1. Which pump do I need to buy...
Asus P8Z68-V Pro Motherboard
Known good GSkill Ripjaws
As you can see, I am getting different results, depending on which RAM module I have first, and which PSU I use.
Has anybody seen results like this? Or know what might be causing it? I was hoping to sell this motherboard, but with these...
Having put together a new Ryzen 2700X, I've decided to get a new monitor to go with it.
I am looking at a 32" QHD, I think. I'm not opposed to 4k either. I would like to keep it around $350 or less.
Right now, I have it narrowed down to this Monopice or this HP Omen.
I also found this...
Looking for a GTX 1070 (or above). The possible hiccup is that I would like to stay at $200 (or less, but that is even more of a pipe dream). Not sure if we are at that selling point or not yet. Let me know. Thanks in advance.
Looking for a combo. It doesn't have to all be from one person, I just need those three parts to finish the system. I'll be cannibalizing my 2600k system for the rest.
Since I won't be upgrading again for a good long while, I want to go as high-end as I can (On this system/platform, and...
I feel like this is a little dumb, but I haven't been able to really find the answer.
Can I hook up my POE injectors right at my switch in the basement, and just run the output CAT cable from them to my AP's? All documentation seems to read that I need to run my CAT to the approximate...
I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk R6000. While doing an adequate job for most of the house, my signal tends to be a little weak upstairs (Upper floor of a bungalow) and on the far end of the house (garage closed in for living space). The router is in the basement, as that's where the cable...
My wife bought the wrong refill for a resident. She wants to recoup some of the cost.

I can send you the code as soon as I have verification of payment.
So RPG has always been my favorite style of game. I used to play them a lot, and then had kids, and that sucked my RPG time away. I didn't stop accumulating them though. I think the last one I completed was the original KOTOR. Here is my list, and I'm wondering where I should start:
KOTOR 2...
So I have the old Verizon XL 12GB plan. I see the promotions for the "New Verizon Plan 12". So I log on to my account and go to "Switch Plans". In the outline it gives, the pricing is exactly the same. The difference is that the old plan has 25GB of Verizon Cloud Storage, vs 5GB for the new...
So our work computers are pretty new (Ivy Bridge or newer) Core i5's w/ 8GB RAM. Our purchaser decided to hamstring us with mechanical 500GB hard drives.
I have gotten permission to upgrade the IT department and our CAD engineering guys to SSD's. What are some recommendations for 256GB-500GB...
So we all got this news some time ago that Verizon was going to start charging $20 more per line that was still on the Unlimited Plan. Well, today, that was implemented. Actually, it was more like for my December bill (which, due to my laziness, I didn't see until it was paid, today).

How would this work as a TV? I like the specs of it, and I like the price. It lists MEMC 120 as the refresh rate, so I'm not sure if that means it is a native 120Hz set that is then doubled to 240Hz, or whether it means it is a 60Hz set doubled to 120Hz.
Does anybody have any more info on it?
Long story short, we had a contractor help us move from Novell eDirectory to Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services. When naming the domain came up, we named it (with the help of the contractor) mycompany.com. Our public website is ALSO named mycompany.com. As we have found out, this is...
I have (had) an Athlon 2 X2 245 paired up with a Asus motherboard (forget the model number offhand) that was my trusty HTPC setup. During my move, it apparently decided to give up the ghost. Either the motherboard OR the CPU is bad, but I have no way to test. I am looking to pick up one/both...
