OK, I feel like an idiot for not knowing the answers to these questions, but it's never really come up before now. My setup: office: Cable modem -> pfsense -> gigabit switch -> 802.11n AP, voip adapter, 2 workstations bedroom: gigabit switch -> 802.11n bridge, 1 workstation, 1 fileserver...

Anyone going to Head-Fi's CanJam 09? If so, we could arrange a little [H]ard-fi meet!

OK GANG! I'm sick and tired of looking at a closet full of parts that aren't being used. SO IT'S TIME THEY GET MOVIN'! My room might as well be Crazy Matt's House of Electronics, where we stock 'em deep and sell 'em cheap, cause seriously...I have stuff everywhere. So let's begin: MSI X58 Pro...

I wanted to buy this case when I bought my A-05B, but I didn't, and now they're definitely gone from the market. Anyone have a PC-777 they wanna get rid of for a fair price?

Hey gang, I bought this amp for my office, but I tend to use speakers more while I'm working, so it's time for it to go. It's a Little Dot II+ with upgraded Mullard tubes up front and the the stock chinese tubes in the power section. It's a little dusty, but otherwise it looks the same it did...

Bam....just stumbled on this...should go damn fast...1080p Olevia 47" LCD at www.circuitcity.com on sale and available at time of posting. GLHF!

So my Macbook has a Superdrive. Well, today, I did some serious DVD/CD -> HD action, and man, is that thing slow. Is there a faster drive out there that will easily replace Superdrives? TIA

Hi guys, Selling my MDA & my brown Zune. They've served me well, but I'm moving onto different things (damn technolust!). MDA - Looking for $180?, but I'll gladly consider all offers. It's in nice shape, but it does have some marks from general useage. Screen has no damage & looks good...

OK, so I just installed Warcraft III and Frozen Throne, and updated to the latest vers, but I'm having a slight problem. When I run the game in full screen mode, it insists on turning on my second monitor black. Anyone know a way around this? Window mode is too small and I can't figure out how...

OK, I finally got my server finished. I have a gigabit switch, and gigabit nics in my server and my client. How fast should, say, a 1gb file transfer? Right now, it's taking minutes, and that seems way too slow. Watching Task Manager, I get 40-50% utilization in the beginning of a transfer, then...

I'm looking to buy a 320gb IDE hard drive. NOT SATA! Preferably Maxtor or Seagate with a 16mb cache and a nice long warranty, but I'm pretty flexible. Please either post your offers here or email them to me at [email protected], but DO NOT FREAKING PM ME! My PM box is tres full. I have PayPal...

So, I got an Antec Solo from Fry's because it was super cheap, and I thought it would be a nice step-up from my $30 eBay Coolermaster Cavalier. Turns out it was and it wasn't...read-on for moar... First things first. Opening up the Solo I was very impressed wtih the fit & finish and the...

Hot ass deal going on at BB right now...They have 2disc dvd sets for $9.99, regular 21-24.99. When you ring up at the register, they are buy one get one free. And you also get a free 300 Preview disc that has a free ticket inside it. I wish I would've realized this when I was there at 10am, but...

Can't seem to find much info on this psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817812002 I can use a new one, the price is good, it's modular and the rails look good, but I have no idea of the quality. Can anyone comment? TIA

So, Vanguard has given me upgraditis. I've currently got an Opteron 146 @ 2651mhz and 2gbs of Hyper-X on a Jetway 939SLI. I recently went from a 6600gt to a 7600gt and really felt the difference in VG. ZZF has x1900gt's for $125, or I could pick up an E6300 or maybe 6400 and some mediocre DDR2...

So after a ton of agonizing, I ended up ordering a black CD Macbook from the Apple Refurb store a few weeks ago for $999. There was still a bit of concern in my head if I made the right purchase. Anyway, 2 weeks ago, I bought 2gb of ram for it, and didn't get around to installing it until last...

Are there any particularly good reasons to go with Vista over XP for a home file server using software raid?

OK, I got an offer from ifixit.com to sell them my Powerbook, but I thought I would offer it up here first before accepting. It's a bone stock titanium Powerbook G4 550, with gigabit ethernet. 256mb of ram. Battery works OK, I'd guess it still holds about 3hrs worth of a charge, but I can't...

OK, so barring anything wacky happening at MacWorld, I'm planning on buying a refurb Core Duo Macbook. I was originally going to buy a Mini, but I can sell my Powerbook Onyx for more than the price difference between the Mini & the MB, so I might as well get the lappy. My big question is: is it...

I just spent all night in freezing wind to pick up a Wii to fund some Xmas gift purchases. I'm going to put it on eBay very soon, but if you get ahold of me before it's too late to pull the auction, I'll pull it for you. edit: for price see below.. S&H extra at cost (Priority or Express). I...

I've got 3 320gb Maxtor PATA drives and a machine to put them in. I actually installed everything and got the raid array created with mdadm in Ubuntu, but now that I'm dealing with Samba issues, I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a mistake. Are there any big negatives to using a Windows server...

Some of you might remember my prior post regarding a deal with tree_ : http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=967745 Well, after it took about a month to receive the item I purchased from him: I set up the system and it didn't work. I tried every possible thing using known good...

OK, I sat down again and tried to get some more juice out of my Opteron..but I'm basically at the same brick wall I was at before.. System ---- Opteron 146 CABYE XP-90 Jetway GT4-SLI-G 4x512mb Kingston Hyper-X SATAII HD 2x CD drives GF 6600GT Antec 400w Smartpower 2 (+12v@29a)...

OK, so my Senn 580s are MIA. They've gotta be around my house somewhere, but damned if I can find them. I want to get some new cans, but I know eventually the Senns will show up, so I want something that will complement them rather than replace them. Useage: Mostly at home, on my computer...

OK, so trying to find the max FSB for my new Epox 9npa+.. Multiplier at 5x, ram at DDR200. Running in-place ffts, 250fsb is fine, but 260fsb crashes instantly, and has corrupted the HD both times. OC Workbench claims 300fsb fine, right out of the box, and 260 is silly low anyway, so what am I...

Anyone tried one the Microchill yet? I've read reviews, and it seems the high-speed models do a pretty good job, but i wasn't exactly in love with the review sites. Hoping to get some real-user opinions...

OK, so I paid tree_ $165 for an Antec Aria combo on Oct. 7, it was supposed to get shipped on the 10th, I haven't heard from him since the 8th, and he hasn't been here since the 11th. Someone else said that they PayPal'ed tree_ for the same Aria, but that tree_ refunded his money since I had...

Say I don't want to get a DFI - what's the next best board for overclocking? The Epox? Chaintech? And whatever it is, how close would you say it performs to the DFI? TIA

Bought something from someone on the FS/FT board. Paid them on 10/7, they said they would ship the following Monday. Haven't heard anything from the person since the 8th and they haven't been online here since the 11th. PMs and emails to two addresses have gone unanswered. Person is...

OK, so I'm setting up a new system here, and at my disposal I have 4 512mb sticks of recent BH-5 Twinmos pc3200, and 4 256mb sticks of Corsair XMS 3200. The system I'm putting together will be using a Chaintech NF4-Ultra with a amd64 3000+. I'm assuming the 2gigs of Twinmos would outperform...

OK, so I just built this rig: s754 3000+ 512mb pc3200 Geforce 6800nu 80gb 7200rpm IDE hd 52x cdrom 3x 80mm fans First I built it with a 420w Enermax Noisetaker (dual 12v rails), but when I would try to install Windows, it would just turn off. Right about at the...

I used to do crack RC5 with the Goons of Defcon at distributed.net but when that was completed I just kinda stopped, but now I have a 12-16 computer LAN center that I would like to contribute to the [H]orde. However, we have enough problems as it is with stability under load and performance, so...

Anyone tried imeem yet? Thoughts?

Well, being that every store in town is out of Xboxes until Tuesday, I figure I might as well use this as to my advantage and try to find a used one. As far as modded 'boxes go, it must be able to work on Live. Not looking for a ton of accessories, if any. Please email offers to...

OK, so, due to the untimely failure of another local LAN center, I now have a 7-computer mini-LAN to put into my soon-to-be-open gaming store. I know my way around a basic network, and I managed another LAN center for 6 months, but I'm definitely not a hardcore networking guy, so I'm having a...

If you guys got 'em, I want 'em. I'll buy collections or singles, even accessories like life counters. It's pretty simple. Just please have some sort of description of what cards you have for sale..at least a rare count if you can't list them. Non-free email is [email protected]...

I think this is another glitch: After reading a subscribed thread and then refreshing my userCP, it still makrs the thread as unread. It didn't do it the first few times, but it's doing it now. It also marks the thread unread in the forum views, too.

The [H], a former bastion of compatibility, no longer allows me to log on with Safari. Dunno what else doesn't work, but since I couldn't log in, I stopped caring. :)
