I'm building three computers for my kids (ages 11, 10, and 8) to do homework and play some games when they're done. I think I'm set with the other components, but I'm looking for three GTX 1060 cards. They'll be playing at 1080p so a 1060 should be fine. I want to go with relatively similar...

So I recently came into possession of a large number of fans. </ Cool story>. Now it's time to let my [H] peeps get some good deals. Detailed list of items and prices after the pictures. A few retro motherboards, most complete with CPU, HSF, and RAM, all great as the basis for your retro...

Don't know if it's a price mistake or a mis-marking of the GTX 660, but Amazon has the Asus GTX 680 for $197 right now: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-GTX680-DC2-2GD5-ASUS-Graphics-Cards/dp/B0099XENVQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1373206586&sr=8-12&keywords=GTX680-DC2-2GD5 Everything on the site says...

I know this isn't the traditional computer case mod, but modern smartphones are just small, mobile computers and this is a case mod of one, so... I really like my new Galaxy Nexus, but one of the big problems I had with my original Droid was the micro USB plug had started to wear out after a...

I just wanted to let everyone here know my experience with rebuilding my HTPC. I had been running a BE-2300 on an Albatron KI-690 ITX motherboard with a 5450 PCI card. It ran very well overall, but had a few recurring issues. The ethernet controller would just drop for no apparent reason...

I'm looking to upgrade my HTPC video card. I just upgraded to Windows 7 and am having a ton of issues with the onboard video. The specs: Albatron KI-690 mini-ITX mobo (AMD 690G/SB600) (yes it's old, if you want me to buy a newer one you can paypal me the money) 2 GB DDR2 BE-2300 CPU Visio...

Well, to start off, my baby girl Eliana was born was born a month ago. While waiting for her to come home I had some free time so I started thinking about her room and came up with an idea. I decided to build a small media PC for music and paintings using mostly old stuff I had laying around...

OK, I have to toot my own horn here. After about 8 years of folding, I finally hit the 1,000,000 point mark today! Of course my Q6600 is responsible for 1/3 of that and it's only been running 4 months. Only 10 more months to the 2 million point mark!

Well, I'm finally getting around to building my carputer (truckputer actually). I got about halfway through before I started documenting, so I'll try to catch everyone up. The goal: Easy to use single purpose computer that takes the place of the car stereo. Must be able to perform GPS...

Well guys, I found out today that Uncle Sam is sending me somewhere hot and sandy for the next few months. I've got about a week or two before I go so I still have time to finish up some stuff. Rather than let my farm sit idle for that time, I'd like to sell/give most of it away to good homes...

I have a friend who has been running the cracked edition of XP Pro Corp that he bought overseas and now wants to go legit. He asked me if there was any way to keep his settings, programs, games, etc. intact without having to do a fresh install and wiping his drive. Since all my copies are...

Just wanted to let the rest of the [H]orde know that one of the boxen in the Fenris Farm made the front page: Project NeXT Cube Folding 24/7 on overclocked XP mobiles, one at 2 GHz and one at 2.2 GHz (will get bumped up when temperatures drop below the mid 80's)

A few years ago I came into possession of an old (circa 1988) NeXT Cube. It was only the case not the cutting edge 25 MHz, 256K computer. I've been skulling for about a year now on how to properly mod this thing and I think I've come up with a plan. I've been wanting to do a tribute to my...

I just looked at the Stanford site and counted the processors in my farm and realized that I was one off. :confused: So I looked at similar names and found I put an extra underline in the config of one box. :o Unfortunately for my stats it was perhaps my best performer with almost 5800...
