Hello! I'm looking for one of those CPUs (especially the 5800x or 5900x) at non-scalper prices. I know I've seen a few people that got lucky finding an extra and shared the wealth... I'm just too slow to catch those threads. Sooooo if you happen to be near a microcenter that gets a lot of stock...

I have 2 Sphero BB-8 app-enabled droids to sell (the nice ones - not the ones with the remote from Target). They're new in the box, never used, opened, anything. PM ME if you're interested. Thanks! Ah i forgot the FS in front. If someone wants to put it, cool... or should i make a new...

Help me decide if I should take a chance on a Nexus 5! I recently broke my Galaxy S3. AT&T offered to upgrade me early and, because of some issues with their customer service, sold me a black HTC One 64gb for... a good price. Now, I'm contemplating selling the HTC One before I even turn it...

Hello everyone, I want to start by saying Kyle signed off on this (thanks!). My Church is having an event in January and we need a flier/logo created. It doesn't need to be anything complicated. I'd be surprised if it's more than 2 or 3 hours of work. I've been assigned the task of...

I work in the IT Dept of a construction company and my boss has asked me to find a certain type of software - but i'm not having much luck. Hopefully someone here has come across or used something like what I need. Basically, he wants to: 1) Map all of our job sites 2) Create a...

I'm repairing a PC for a friend's mom. Have the problem narrowed down to CPU, Mobo, PSU, or some combination of the 3 - so I'm contemplating just replacing them all. Stupidly, I don't know off the top of my head what the current system specs are. Appreciate the help trying to squeeze the most...

I've got a Canon ImageClass D880 all-in-one that needs the adf roller parts replaced (These. I started taking it apart the other day, and kinda ran out of time. Now I can't remember how to get it back together (I blame sitting in the sun and drinking all day yesterday for my memory loss)...

I have a X-FI Fatal1ty (the original PCI version) that the I/O drive stopped working on. Looking to replace just the front panel on the cheap if anybody happens to have one laying around they need to get rid of. :) Make me an offer! Thanks, Jason

My cousin has an c2d E6300 on an intel dg965wh motherboard that's getting a "disk read error, press ctrl+alt+del to restart" message. I've swapped power supplies and hard drives... his hard drive and PSU work in my computer, my hard drive and PSU don't work in his I have a feeling it's the...

Sometimes after I completely shut down my PC can try to turn it back on it boots but there is no video. I know it's getting into windows because if I turn it off and back on somehow, it says windows was shut down improperly. Usually (i think always) turning the PSU off w/ the switch and...

So I got my Intel Retail Edge bundel (Intel dg965wh mobo, e6300 cpu, vista) and now I'm kinda torn what to do. I feel like to really take advantage of the e6300, I need to oc. That's not gonna happen on this mobo. Should I ditch the mobo and go w/ either a ds3 or p5b-e? If I do that, I can...

Hey all, I'm building a pc w/ a conroe 6300 and some so-so intel board i'll upgrade later (i'm using the intel retail edge program)... and I'm on a bit of a budget. I have a couple decisions I need to make. First problem: Do I go with 1gb of memory and a 8800gts or 2gb of memory...

Anyone know a program like speedswitchXP or notebook hardware control that works in vista (lowers processor speed when it's not plugged in basically)? I threw vista on my laptop because I only use it for school and the internet, but now I get crappy battery life. Help!!!

So I just bought my Intel Retail Edge bundle and now I need to figure out what to buy. Right now I've got a p4 w/ ddr, agp, etc. Only thing I can reuse is my hdd and cd-rom... but i'm not worried about that. I AM worried about the ram and vid card though. Should I: A) Find a good deal on...

Help!!!! Everytime I log into Vista the display settings come up. I've disabled everything in msconfig but no matter what I do they pop up. Is there somewhere else I can look for a list of programs running at startup that could cause this? Anyone have the same problem? I THINK it happened...

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten to hear the x-540's. I'm guessing they're new, since they're not even on logitech's site from what I can tell. Here's a link to them at BB: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7951139&st=x-540&type=product&id=1152836586066 The...

Does the retail Pentium D 805 heatsink come with a thermal pad on it? My cousin's building a cheap pc and doesn't really know what he's doing. I'm hoping that he wont' have to worry about putting on thermal stuff (not that it's hard, but any steps we can eliminate are great). Thanks!! Jason

Hey, My cousin had his mobo die on him (Gigabyte 8SG667 - s478) so we're trying to salvage as much as we can and build a new pc. I know I could just pick up another s478 mobo but I hate the idea of dropping another $50+ on a PC w/ no upgrade potential. My thoughts were to go with the...

Hey, I've got a Gigabyte 8SG667 that's gone bad so I'm going to try to replace it. Unfortunately, 8SG667's aren't easy to come by any more so I've got to find something else that will work. Is it best to go with something similar, or will it not make a difference? If it's best to go...

Hey all - I'm looking for a working Gigabyte 8SG667 motherboard. PM me if you've got one you wanna get rid of. Thanks!!! Jason

My original message is at the bottom, but I've got sort of a new issue. I talked to 2wire, who told me it was entirely their fault the firmware update didn't work. They said their system does not distinguish between old and new model modems and sends out firmware to modems that can't run it...

The smooth stair-jumping sounds promising... i hated always get caught up on them (I hope that's what they're referring to). http://www.fileshack.com/browse.x?cat=3215

So my cousin's computer (which used to be my computer) recently started having problems... The monitor goes from getting a signal to not getting a signal off and on (so black screen, video, black screen, video, etc). I thought maybe the vid card was going bad... but now, the computer is...

A couple of weeks ago, I helped my friend (over the phone) build a new PC. He's got the Asus motherboard that comes free w/ the 7800gt and a maddog dvd burner (not sure what model exactly - he bought it w/o consulting w/ me first or I would have pointed to an NEC or something). Anyways, when...

A while ago (after a move across the country), my klipsch 4.1's stopped working. It's not the fuse and I don't know enough about this kind of stuff to figure out what else it could be. I was thinking of having klipsch repair them so I contacted them a month or two ago about how to send them...

A couple places near me either have 360's in stock today or will have them tomorrow and I'm really torn about whether or not I should buy one. I've got $80 in gift cards I was gonna put towards it and money isn't really an issue (but if I don't get a 360, I can put the money I do have towards...

This isn't really computer audio but we can pretend i'm using them on my pc. I've been looking at surround setups lately and I came across the spherex 5.1's in an xbox 360 bundle from Wal-mart. Anybody have these or heard them ever? My room is pretty small (I'd guess somewhere between 12x12...

My cousin's been asking me to find him an $800 (absolute max - he actually told me $700) pc. He doesn't care if it's built by someone or bought from somewhere (dell, monarch, wherever). I've been looking for a couple weeks and can't find anything I like. Everytime I try to pick out parts... I...

My friend has an olllllllld computer but wants to try to play star wars galaxies. This is his video card which I THINK is AGP 1.0 (I could be wrong... let me know if I am: Also, if it makes a difference, here's a pic of his motherboard: So what's his best bet? I'm not having much...

Anyone happen to watch CSI: Miami tonight? It was about some guys recreating crimes from a video game (dunno if they used a real game). They questioned the guy at the company that made the game and made him a total @$$hole. He basically told the CSI guys that his lawyers said the similarities...

I've got a set of klipsch v2 400's that don't work right now. Klipsch charges their flat $60 rate (+shipping to them) for repairs. So my question is... is it worth it to stick w/ my 4.1 setup for $60 or would the money be better spent on a set of logitech x530's? One note that may or may not...

I know this isn't the forum for this but I don't really have anywhere else to ask and I'd rather take my chances here then get ripped off. I'm selling an Ipod nano and one of the interested parties (who happens to have made the highest offer) wants to pay via moneygram. He says: It seems...

Hey all. This is my first time selling here so let me know if I accidentally break any rules! I've got a brand new, unopened, Ipod nano (2gb, whtie) for $185 shipped. I won it in a contest but really need the money and don't listen to music on-the-go at all. Paypal only. E-mail me at...

If you preorder a game being released on the 18th (oh say... quake 4 for example), does that mean you can actually pick it up on the 18th or will it not be available till the 19th? I just called a couple local EB Games and they both said they'd have q4 on the 19th so I wasn't sure if that was...

I really doubt anyone will have any idea what I'm talking about but it's been bugging me so I'll give it a try. When I was little (maybe 13 or 14 years ago), I had this game that used a VCR and a light gun (like, you watched the video and shot at stuff and you'd get a score at the end). It was...

I recently moved from FL to CA and my Klipsch v2 400's didn't survive (I'm guessing it's something w/ the sub/amp but I know very little about the technical aspects of speakers so I'm not sure). I have 2 options... I can either get my 4ish year old speakers fixed for $60 by them or save up for...

I know these posts get old, but I really can't make up my mind so I need at least some help. I recently moved from FL to CA. I shipped my Mitsubishi DP930-SB via DHL. I showed the girl who picked up my stuff how I had it packed and she said it'd be fine, not to worry, she guaranteed it'd get...

Hey all, About 2 years ago, I built my sis a pc and gave her an old crappy monitor of mine. I also promised I'd buy her an lcd to replace the old monitor eventually. Well, eventually has come. I think I have it narrowed down to 3. 1) Dell 1704fpv - about $280 from dell sb is the...
