HTC Vive - $450 shipped - SOLD! I messed around in a few games for a few hours. I took it to two family Christmas parties where it saw two hours of use each time. It's basically new. I don't need VR for the work I do and selling the GPU I used to drive it makes keeping it entirely moot. --- I...

It won't even light up now, despite claiming it's working. The light on the left side stays red when it's active and reporting "all's well". I also noticed that the mouse cursor disappears when I move to the portion of my main display where the Vive display would be if overlaid starting at the...

While I'm still waiting for my chance to get a GTX 1080, I received my Vive today and decided to see if it would even give me a slideshow on my Radeon HD 5870 from 2009. No slideshow, but a dramatic failure that made me chuckle. Error 208. Sees it on USB, but doesn't even acknowledge it on...

I Netflix'd the DVD so I could finally watch it and bought the Blu-Ray this morning at 1AM before I even have a player for it. It's quoted at $20 on Walmart.com while it's $15 in-store. Amazon has the same one for $16.49 right now so this is a good deal by any measure. If you haven't seen...

Note: Not an auction. It's Buy It Now priced so not breaking the [H] Rules http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110647903925 It's this one: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/imaginationstudio I was about to buy Vegas Platinum Suite 10 for $75 from Amazon when I found this...

I've been looking to getting one for a while now for remote power at my storage bay and they've been sitting at $200, but I searched for a review online and stumbled on this link where you get another $30 off: http://www.harborfreight.com/solar-panel-sale.html I should mention this has three...

Backstory: I bought a broken $10 Nikon Coolpix 5700 that ended up falling under the CCD recall. I sent it in and got bored (still waiting for it) and ended up getting drunk and buying a lot of six broken ones on eBay. I only expected to fix one. As of today, I fixed four with a fifth one...

In a different thread, I show my broken 3008WFP. Since I can't see the display, I'm wondering if there's a way I can blindly check out whether the logic board is still good. The monitor doesn't go into power save mode at any point, but I didn't have anything connected to the inputs. I don't...

Cool. Big freaking beast of a monitor. Hey... why's my stand so crooked? I don't think the warranty covers that. Hail Eris!? Did this thing fall off a truck at-speed? Enjoy some colorful photos. I may snap some better ones later:

I'm putting out a call to the [H] because you've likely got better connections than me. I'm looking for a case for the server portion of the Dashcat2 project. While I can play around and tinker with the server I have now, it doesn't have the capabilities I need in the long-term. What I...

I sing like an amputee. Well, for now, anyway. Thing is my wife can sing pretty well while I can't unless I'm doing my mocking impression of an opera singer--a voice that has no place anywhere. I want to do a special music video for our daughter, but instead of just syncing it to the mashup...

I need to take my machine up to 12GB, but I want room to grow just in case 18GB or 24GB will be necessary in the future for the 3D work I'm doing. Info on 3x4GB tri-channel sets that work in combination with anything at all in the other three slots is just plain sparse. Are there any members...

This is going simultaneous with my other projects. Get a load of this shit: I've got a bad feeling about this. The Danger Den waterblock is nice, though. Top quality gear, terribly workmanship. That, and just a little self-consciously extreme for my tastes... It's not a color if...

As mentioned in the Dashcat2 build thread, I'm taking on a simultaneous project involving a tightly-packed cluster which will yield 2.5 times the compute performance of Dashcat2 per unit of rack space. It's going in my shorter rack. At the moment, I'm taking a break from, yet again, moving...

New 30U rack still on pallet. Practice house FTW. The Next Morning It puts the Dashcat in the workshop. Oh look... someone left a driveway empty. This shall be put to use. Dandelions FTW. (Killed lawnmower blade on spike driven into ground so they still stand.) I'm on...

I don't know for sure what to do as it's been so long since my last build. I'm a gamer, but I'm first and foremost a 3D artist and game creator so I'd rather have more cores than a higher clock speed the majority of the time. This is intended to replace the IBM Intellistation A quad-core...

I don't get it. Fresh from a Windows XP Pro 32-bit or Windows 7 Pro 64-bit install, it's impossible to run the Sandra Memory Bandwidth benchmark because it immediately locks these systems. I had thought it had something to do with the memory controllers in a Dual Opteron rig being absolutely...

If anyone knows of a large supply of Opteron coolers for cheap, used or otherwise, I need them for a build. They will be going into 2U server cases so the windtunnel variety is preferred and since I don't have tab-mount brackets, I need the type that screw directly into the motherboard...

As important as it is to keep a GPU properly fed with data, I'm wondering if a 5850 would be overkill for this system. Maybe a 4850 would be a better choice for this? I'm mostly using it for 3D in Blender and EPIC's UDK.

First off, it's eBay, but it's a fixed price listing (not an auction) and there's nothing in the rules against that. Rioworks HDAMA motherboard, dual Opteron 2GHz CPUs included. It's worth it just for the 1U power supply that comes with each one...

I have a couple cases of small (6.7 x 3.4 x 2.5) PSUs with the 12V 4-pin power lead. They're rated for 10A on the 12V rail and the cooling fan is very quiet. I use them to power render farm nodes and they'd be great for an HTPC or SFF project. I'm selling them for $25 each shipped...

I got one the other day and the deal is still on til Sunday. Thought for sure a deal like this would have been posted. First go here and print the 10% coupon: http://www.staples.com/weeklyad Then go to Staples and get the drive. It's $99.99 without the coupon. This drives spins...

My wife goes through RAM like there's no tomorrow in PhotoShop. 2GB isn't enough for her or for me. I want to surprise her with a much-needed upgrade. While I realize DDR-2 is cheap, both our rigs take DDR RAM. She's running an i865 chipset while I'm running an i7505 with ECC support...

I am looking for a large amount of them for older laptops. It's a shot in the dark for these quantities, but I may as well try. Naturally, I require them to be working. Physical spec: 9.5mm thick only for now (12mm won't fit most of the machines) Minimum size 4GB 4GB to 8GB = $1 a gig 10...

I need a convertible system with Wacom digitizer technology and a reasonable GPU. I am looking at a Toshiba Tecra M4 convertible with the 128MB Nvidia GeForce Go 6600 TE, but I wonder if there's anything somewhat newer than that, but similarly equipped as far as mid-range graphics while still...

My brother gave me a Socket 939 A64 3400+ a month ago, but I don't have a motherboard that will support it. I'd like to get on that will take my high-density RAM modules (128x4 style. Intel boards see only half. Via chipsets see it all. Hit and miss with Nvidia). I don't need SLI. I'm...

So I got a broken Latitude C840 with a C/Dock II for $1 and managed to kick it in the nuts hard enough to work and it repaid me with a 1.8GHz P4, 1GB RAM and the best damn 15" display I have ever seen on a laptop. My problem is the display at home looks like crap over the analog port (with sexy...

Anyone have one of these? I was considering an M400, but I'm not going to be caught dead using something with integrated graphics for 3D work. I'm wondering about the viewing angle in both clamshell and tablet modes, the hinge durability, 3D performance, digitizer lag, heat, and basically...

I want to condense my displays down to one and need a WUXGA display to be able to use my SGI Octane with the display. Two 2001FPs with adapters is what you get. One has a couple of pressure spots. They're slowly disappearing, but it's been two years. They are both S-IPS displays.

Okay, so here's what's up... I've got an itch to build a VERY portable SFF rig for gaming. My previous target barebones kit was an iWill ZPC64, but those are rare now and kind of outdated (AGP). I'm wondering if there are any slim cases like that on the market these days with support for...

My Thinkpad R40 consumed 7.5W average with every major power save option enabled. I recently tuned it and I've got the following, according to the wattmeter in IBM's software, BatteryMon and some popular hardware control app I uninstalled (all three were within .06W of each other): With...

I want to stock the Enlight All-in-one barebones rigs I picked up last week and they are limited to a motherboard 8.6" or less in depth. There are a lot out there, but I just don't know what's available. I'd like a Pentium M board to keep power consumption and noise down, but the PSU and...

I'm making this post at my new Enlight All-in-one system of a funky nature. It's normally sold in bare-bones fashion with a Pentium 4 mobo, but I got it without a mobo and put an Asus A7V400-MX in it. It works, but the problem is I can't put the case cover back on because the motherboard is...

My brother is hating his Alienware M9700. He's having nothing but trouble. I'm suggesting he buy a decked out Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad T60p since he needs something that will prove reliable while he is in school and having zero trouble playing WoW. I figure the FireGL V5250 with 256MB will serve...

My ThinkPad R40 was perfect for me other than the LCD display. I got ahold of an 08K4070 display cable for the system and made the swap between that and the 08K4067 cable the system came with. I swapped in a Samsung panel from a Dell C840. It's nice. I had to reinstall the Thinkpad...

I have about two dozen of these. They were cleared out from the Calculus dept of a local school to make way for something with USB ports. The calculators are in damn good shape with the only unusual thing being the yellow paint in 2x1.5in spots on the fronts of the covers and backs of the...

I used to have an Olympus V-90 voice recorder. I used it for five years before it just died one day. I liked the small size and the easy-grip shape. The buttons were in the perfect spots for fast memos, too. The only thing I could ever have wanted extra was a PC link to allow downloads...

Like it says. 40 to 80GB is where I want to focus my efforts on this. 30GB maybe if it's a screaming deal. 9.5mm thick only (as if any are thicker than that now)

I've been kicking around the idea of getting on of these for a while. It seems these are the only "tower" SFFs available.
