I'm sorry, but that's over my head. Like I said: NAS noob. Alright, so below is a screenshot of Storage Manager. Should I remove the new drive, then reinsert it a while later and configure it as a new storage pool? If not, how do I go about having two volumes in the same 2-bay NAS, each with...

Disclaimer: I know jack about an NAS. I bought a Synology DS218j so I could have an always-on network storage device to stream movie and TV show files without having my PC on 24-hours a day. The Western Digital white 10 TB drive in my DS218j is getting close to capacity, so I bought and added...

Thanks! I don't want to buy much new stuff right now because of upcoming expenses. I will give that a try. I diagrammed the current connections to and from all the components so that I can put it back the way it currently is if something doesn't work out right. For clarity, when you say...

Okay, so I'm a bit behind the times: I've used the same Panasonic Home Theater in a Box system for like 7 years, and have things connected via Optical Audio. But I purchased an Nvidia Shield on Prime Day, and it doesn't have an optical port, so I guess I have to come up with a new connection...

Thanks for the replies. Simply debrid (and other services like rapid debrid) buys blocks of subscriptions to file hosting services like Uploaded, File factory, etc., then makes them available to their own subscribers (much cheaper than directly subscribing to the services) by using their link...

This all started just a couple of weeks ago. I've been extraordinarily busy at work (struggling to put out a rush of proposals before year's end) so I didn't really get a chance to investigate before today, my first full day off in two weeks. I have used simply debrid to get links from various...

Umm, isn't Dante's Inferno a little dark for a 12 y/o?

I'm a middle aged professional guy, so I'm never going to be a hardcore console gamer. I'll probably be lucky if I get in 2-3 hours a week after hours of pc gaming on the weekends. Plus, Watch Dogs will be on my doorstep in 10 days. Yeah, The Last of Us is a primary draw, but all the others...

I'm not a console gamer (though my 12 y/o is); I've always gamed on PC. But the PS3 has some great exclusive games that I want to play (Last of Us, Uncharted Series, Shadow of the Colossus HD, LBP, etc). I have very little experience with consoles. So here's my question: Is a 250gb slim...

Unfortunately no.

I've had the Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3gb for a few months now and I've never seen that issue. I have used the MSI Afterburner and Sapphire Trixx utils to do a mild overclock on the GPU (something like 10-15%), but I didn't see that problem even before I OCed it.

Thanks for the reply. There were no video settings in the BIOS. I checked through every available screen and sub-screen twice to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything.

I bought my sister a refurbished Dell XPS X8300 (specs below) off of ebay as an early Christmas gift. When I got it in, I discovered that the Radeon HD 6770 that came in the machine from Dell had been removed (it wasn't mentioned in the ebay ad; I found out about it by looking up the service...

[note: I am posting this from way out in the country where we're spending Thanksgiving; I have very limited internet connectivity, so please excuse any errors] My sister's video card (Zotac Geforce 8800GT 512mb) from her old computer crapped out, and I sent her a spare card (Gigabyte Radeon...

Well, I tried a number things last night with no joy. And since I don't know whether the O&O Disk Image image I created just after this current installation also has this problem, simply restoring from that might be pointless. I guess it's time for yet another a reformat/reinstall. This time...

My son had a scouts event last night and we didn't get home until 9:45, so I didn't get a chance to try either of the suggested things out. I'm bumping here to see if anyone has any thoughts on the "insufficient privileges" issue.

Um, yeah ... not so much, thanks. :D

I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks. I'll also try that when I get home tonight. Thanks. I am concerned about the larger implications of this permissions cockup, though. I forgot to mention that I tried to install my copy of CorelDraw x5 before leaving this morning and had a...

I got a Crucial m4 256gb SSD and installed it as my primary drive a few weeks ago. After a few missteps because of using my old C:\ drive as my new D:\ drive (and the boot sector on it conflicting with the new Win7 install), I did a new clean install of Win7 that seemed to work well. I've been...

Unnn, this is odd. My work machine has a standard onboard Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio, playing though a little Logitech LS21 2.1 speaker system. It's worked fine for like 3 years (my Dell Core 2 Duo desktop was changed out last year for an almost identical one due to a MB failure)...

^ This. ^ Love that game

Ho. Lee. Schitt. Wow.

Too late. Shows as $99 now. Damn nap totally screwed me. :mad:

Go here: http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10171/ and click on the green label "Click Here to see your system's performance" Then once it has run, from the dropdown menu below your results select "Can I run these games? Click to find out," and try out various older games. It'll tell...

Left4Dead. The original just had something about it that sucked me in and made it irresistible ... probably all those damned zombie films I've watched and loved over the years. I guess I logged about 200 hours on it between single player and multiplayer in the first 3-4 months after its...

BustaCapTX pc [steam]

Is the Steam version of Batman AA still saddled with Securom?

Holy buttrape, Batman! They are taking you guys to the cleaners. Are the cards actually selling at those abominable prices?

My kid's PC could use a video card upgrade.

Out of Stock at all 3 Fry's in Houston, Tx. I got the last one at the Hwy 59 location.

Yeah, I just got that notification, too. Too bad my order has already shipped, but I think the 5770 will hold me for a while. In six or eight months I can get a 5850 for like $200 and put the 5770 in my son's PC. And, by the way, way to go Newegg for the blazingly fast shipping of my order...

Thanks, but it's already ordered and charged. No going back now. Just hope it arrives Friday.

Ahh, screw it. I got tired of being strung along by ewiz with their never-materializing Powercolor 5850, so I canceled it and just ordered a Sapphire 5770 from newegg, along with the $570 i5 combo, an additional 4gb of ram, another terabyte of hard drive and a couple of extra case fans...

How is Powercolor? I've never dealt with them, and I can't find a review of that card.

I am building an 4gb/1066 Athlon II x4 system for sister and wanted to use my existing Zotac 8800GT+ Amp! Edition in it, and upgrade my own PC to a 1gb Radeon 5850 (I also wanted to upgrade my mb/CPU to a Phenom II X4 9xx after the new year). The 5850, as all with a clue know, is chronically...

D'oh. I had intended to post another Pavilion refurb, but your honor, I plead 'beer.' Thanks for the opinion, though; it has merit. I see from your sig that you are quite familiar with the HP line. You have the 4350 in yourts, correct? What are the limitations of your card? What games...

As far as OS goes, they all come with Vista Home Premium 64. And in the interest of expediency, I want to keep the standard equipment CPU versus the Frankenstein's monster technique of taking a piece from here and a piece from there. Just to clarify, though, you recommend the 2.1 ghz Phenom...

A friend recently purchased a nice refurbished HP Pavilion a6720f (AMD Phenom X4 9550) from Tigerdirect, and had me upgrade the PSU and add a 9800GT video card for him. After setting it up and installing some software for him, I was impressed with the fit and finish of the package. So I am...

Yeah, that CPU is an AM3, while the Biostar MB has socket AM2+; the Phenom II X4 Deneb is the only later generation quad core that'll still fit. This motherboard has been perfectly fine since I bought it 2 years ago and I don't really want to do an unnecessary MB swap. Re: the GPU; would a...
