So I'm putting together a build that would sit in my entertainment center and function as an HTPC and run Steam in their new "big-picture" mode. I haven't built a PC in years and I know I'm very outdated in the technology. I've read a few builds here and looked elsewhere, and here is what I've...

So i just bought a "scratch n dent" Dell Latitude e6410 and a BNIB OCZ Agility 2 60GB SSD. After getting both in the mail, I hooked up the OCZ with an external SATA to USB kit I have and tried to image to it with Acronis True Image 2009 Home.... The drive was recognized, but it kept...

Alright, I know this is possible, I'm just curious as what needs to be setup to make it work? The customer has Toshiba phones (not sure of the model). I'm thinking making sure that the phone marks the DSCP/CoS values the same as a Cisco phone would, then it will work? Or is it more complex...

Good morning all :) I volunteered to teach a "Basic Computer Use" course at a nearby facility, and there is no current curriculum in place. The course is geared towards very basic, intro learners to the PC, and I'm guessing it will mainly be attended by older generations. (Sorry if some of...

Hey all, I'm trying to whip together a website for a business venture with a friend, and I'm thinking about using Joomla. Does anyone have a good resource for quick tutorials in using this platform? Thanks!

Best flash game I've ever played... it's like a miniature Diablo II or RPG game. There is so much depth to it, and it also has multiplayer... Trust me you'll be reading the FAQs and forums for hours learning everything about it. http://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/ I just started this week and...

Majordomo, et. al, Would it be possible to add a list of the subscriber perks to the FAQ at the top of this sub-forum? I'm trying to figure out what all is included with becoming a valid subscriber. I've found bits and pieces from searching, but a full list may be a good way of getting...

Hopefully several of you recognize me in this sub-forum by now, as I've been picking up in activity here lately... Anyways, I'm also a member over at Slickdeals, and I'm trying to help some other member pick out his next gaming pc. He insists that it be pre-built as he has no idea how to do it...

What is the easiest way for someone to pick up and create a web site? I'm in the networking field, and I am somewhat familiar with HTML. A friend and I are going together in a business venture, and I'm responsible for creating the site. I've downloaded the 30-day trial of Dreamweaver, but...

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out the most cost-effective way of building a home network. It would be an all-Cisco shop, as I work for them and need to learn more about the products. Where do you recommend buying? Are the best deals found on eBay / craigslist types of sites? Or do you...

At what price point does this monitor become a [H]ot Deal? A co-worker of mine is trying to get rid of one, and has already dropped it down to $300 after a week. I'm trying to figure out at what point this will be too good to pass up... If I can get him down to $250, should I jump on it...

So Sony is running a promo for the A200 via their Sony Rewards system, and my sister is looking for an entry-level DSLR. She originally liked the XTi, but I'm guessing she won't be too picky if the price is right. Here is the deal: So, I need your expert opinions! Is this a...

Hey all, my sister is asking for my help in finding a good deal on the Canon Digital Rebel XTi for her birthday present. I'm not much of a camera guy, only own a simple point-n-shoot Cano Powershot SD600.. so I thought I would enlist your help. Can anyone tell me what kind of hardware I...

Hey all! It's been about 5-6 years since I last built a PC (s939 was my last time if that says anything)... Needless to say, things have changed a lot since then, and I'm starting to poke my head around at the new technology. I know we've already quite a few threads about builds, so I tried...

Hey all, I'm looking at setting up a nice home-office and I have two options available to me for monitors. One is a single 37" Westinghouse LVM-37W3SE 1080p LCD, which are quite popular as monitors, and the other option is a dual-monitor setup consisting of 2x 22" Westinghouse LCM-22w2...

Hey all, Does anyone know if you can take an iPhone in to be serviced w/o an active contract? I just bought a used one and would like to get it replaced since the home button isn't working properly. I've received mixed reports of success w/o having an active contract! Thanks!

I found this site --> http://www.wepc.com/ over at the blog on LaptopMag. It's a joint-venture by ASUS and Intel to get the public fired up about netbooks and possibly brainstorming new ideas.. for free? :)

I have roughly $60 to spend at Best Buy and it has to be spent by Oct 4th (this Saturday)!! There isn't really anything I want there atm (besides Rachet & Clank which I can buy for $30 elsewhere), so I figured I'd open it up to the masses. I don't keep up with the video game hype/previews...

I was wondering if there was a quick way to wipe this clean (i.e. format to factory defaults). I bought this from a rather ... "interesting" person who has a lot of music/internet stuff that I'd like to clean off. It's already updated to 2.0, or so he said. (Not sure if that matters, I'm a...

Hey guys, I need something relatively inexpensive for work (i.e. non-gaming, etc). I'd prefer to spend less than $200, and I have $30 of Rewardzone coupons for BB, so if the monitor is sold there, that'd be even better! I was looking at the 19" Westinghouse L1916hw that is listed in their ad...

Kyle, Just wondering if there is any plan to add a "Cell Phone" discussion section, since they are a huge part of the IT market now. I've heard that roughly 12 million cell phones are sold to 3 million PCs each year. That's my suggestion for the day! Thanks, Nick

We have our main building (K-12 school, church, etc) that is fully wired with Ethernet cable, but we would like to network our concession stands out in the ball fields. They are about 150-200 yards away from the main building and are built out of concrete blocks. Any ideas of how we can...

Hey all, In a few weeks I start the Cisco ASE program in Raleigh, NC, so I thought I would ask if anyone here has been through it (or knows someone who has). I'd like to get a heads up of what to expect. Thanks!

So I just picked up the last one of these at my local Office Depot, and I wondered what your thoughts were on the TV and the 2 year warranty! I'm pretty sure it's a good deal for just the TV, but is the $100 for the 2 year warranty for good? $725 OTD http://forums.slickdeals.net/show...2&t=769397

I snagged 5 of these recently and want to sell them for $60 each (+ S&H). They retail for $99.99 most places. Great for upgrading any non-SATA laptop! Seagate 160GB 2.5-inch Ultra ATA/100 Internal Hard Drive * 160GB * Ultra ATA/100 interface * 8MB cache buffer * 5400 RPM * Robust...

Hey all! Best Buy has the 42" 1080P Westy TX-42F430S for $996 this week and with the HDTV deal you can get it for $699.. How does that model stack up against the 37W3 as a monitor or TV? Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm considering trading my car stereo system for an xbox 360 setup, and I have a few questions. I have been a PC gamer most of my life, so I know literally nothing about modern consoles. What sort of questions/things should I be asking this guy about his 360 to ensure its a good...

Everytime I unplug my USB hub from the port in my laptop, it causes Windows to blue screen with an IRQ_NOT_EQUAL_TO_OR_LESS_THAN error (I believe that's what it is) Does anyone know why it would do this? How can I disconnect the hub safely, so I can go portable with the laptop? I'm...

Just as the thread title states, is the $999.99 price tag a good deal for this display? Is it hot, lukewarm, or cold? I'm really in the market for something around the $500-600 price range, but I saw this and thought I'd ask :) Thanks!
