    Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor $529.99 ($50 off) @ Amazon

    For those who plan to get it anyway..... $50 off atm.... debatable if its a deal though even at that price. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005404P9I/?tag=hardfocom-20 Wasn't sure if it was really hot since AMD has better offerings for most, but if a mod feels it should be in the actual...

    Upgrading entire office to current Windows/Office versions.....

    So I've found myself in a pickle, thanks to being the "go to" guy in the office when it comes to the computers. (aka I know how to force quit an application and they think I'm a God or something). The owner wants to get every PC in the office on Windows 10, and also the latest version of...

    Got the upgrade bug.....

    Thanks to a hefty salary increase I've been thinking of replacing the current beast. I've got a buyer for the parts I'd be replacing, so it'd just be a matter of replacing those older parts with some newer ones and reusing the things that are fine as they are. 1) What will you be doing with...

    Need a bluetooth speaker for a TV

    My mother has had failing vision for a while now, and we finally upgraded her from a smaller 32" screen to a new 50" HDTV. The old one had a headphone jack that we could plug a speaker into and set it right beside her chair (she's also going deaf...) so she could hear it without having to put...

    LEGO® Marvel's Avengers™

    Anyone else hooked on these games and pick this one up yet for any system? I never did play the LEGO® Marvel Superhero's™ game so some of the interactions in this one are throwing me a bit compared to the old Star Wars ones I played, plus how they laid out the story missions and hub area...

    Win10 Consolidated Privacy Options

    Came across this and thought it might be useful for some folks. I'm not running W10 yet so I haven't had a chance to test it out myself. Puts a lot of the options in one place which is something I myself like to see. Your mileage may vary. ;) http://pxc-coding.com/portfolio/donotspy10/

    USB sound card or internal?

    As this is something I've no knowledge of I figure I'd ask the experts around here. The onboard sound in one of the PC's here has started the whole "crackle, static, snap pop" routine. Its annoying to say the least and though I'd love to put an actual sound card in the box, I'm tempted at...

    Expanded Mass Effect 3 Ending Coming On June 26

    So, here it comes, the final nail in the coffin to the ME franchise for many folks. As expected, it doesnt change the ending or have any additional gameplay, only cutscenes and epilogue sequences. http://kotaku.com/5920559/expanded-mass-effect-3-ending-coming-on-june-26 I don't see this...

    Trying to move XP SATA HD to older PC without SATA ports

    I'm trying to help a neighbor out and likely asking for a ton of trouble trying to do what he'd like me to do, but here goes. He has a PC (generic build) that has a working SATA HD with XP w/SP3 on it. I pulled it out and tested it in my SATA dock and it works fine, so I know it's good...

    Instant power off when changing CPU/RAM settings?

    So yesterday I had been using the PC off and on (see sig), and had shut it down in the early evening. Later on I went to turn it back on, and all I got when I hit the power button was a qiuck flash of the internal lights and no power up. Eventually I use the clear CMOS button and the machine...

    NewEgg sent me a "great" antenna. Where should I look now?

    I haven't ordered from NewEgg in quite some time, and I've seen the recent horror stories of how they've gone downhill, and now I'm a believer. Would you believe, in their opinion, sending me a refurb antenna that's missing the SMA connector on the end and just has a bare wire hanging is...

    Time to upgrade for encoding I think...help?

    So I've had a nice and stable E6850 on a 680i EVGA MB running @ 3.6Ghz for some time now, and it's been stellar. Of late however, with the addition of a new HDTV setup at home, I find myself spending more and more time doing encoding work, and not so much gaming as I used to. Knowing that a...
