Hi all, I just purchased a set of low priced Logitech x-240 speakers + sub for my computer. I'm wondering what you guys think is the best volume level configuration to get the richest sound out of these speakers. I can adjust the volume directly on the speakers themselves, the volume in...

Hi all, I am thinking of buying an NEC 1760V from a friend at what I consider to be a good price -- about 65% less than what this monitor costs at newegg. Everything seems OK except the response time is 16 ms. I am not a gamer -- let me repeat this, I do not play any video games whatsoever...

Hi everyone -- I have an OEM HP desktop that's about 3 years old. It has two fans...one is working fine but the other has been making a lot of noise when it spins, as if something's caught in there. A lot of times the noises will come and go, but sometimes they'll persist for hours and become...

I run a small personal website that tends to get an average of about 20 hits per day. Lately though, the hits to my site (both in hits, visitors, and returns) has been very sporadic. For instance on Monday, I might have 45 visitors to my site, then on tuesday, I will have 0 or 1 visitors, and...

I use an Apache server on my computer, and for some reason it always seems to randomly shut down, or shut down but still give me messages that it is working and up. I went out of town this weekend, for instance, and left my computer on with my server up. When I came back and checked my...

I recently screwed up my CF card -- 340 MB IBM Microdrive -- by taking the card out of the reader when there were still images open on my computer. Mistake, but then all the sudden the entire thing stopped working completely. Should that alone caused it to have stopped working? I didn't drop...
