I knew that Convention center was shady, every time I tried to use a personal WiFi in there the connection was abysmal. I always figured it was due to the other folks using their WiFi hotspots as well. I'll be down there again this weekend, it will be interesting to see if the hotspots work...

I went from a Q6600 to the i3 Alpha, and am very pleased with its performance so far. I do a small amount of photography as well, (Pixelmator/GIMP) but that is mostly on my 2011 Macbook Pro with an i5 2415M. The two compare very closely to one another, so I would assume that the lighter work...

It took a lot of getting bounced around and talking to finally get them to even credit me a little bit of money back, $60, which I ended up just taking. On the Dell website they have a link to Price Match http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/19/campaigns/free-shipping-easy-returns From there...

Ive been wanting to upgrade for some time now, and since I don't really play the latest and greatest games this looks like a nice upgrade for me. Knowing that my current setup is 7 years old (Q6600, along with a simple HD5570 I had to throw in when the original card died) Im just wondering if...

Is that just unique websites (such as cnn.com, or microsoft.com) or websites and their subdomains, etc?

The case reminds me of a slim PS2.

Same with me, I have to keep the alarm across the room from my bed, with the most annoying sound I can have on it.

I believe that EA may scale back the protection on RA3 due to the backlash against the DRM in Spore. I know that Mass Effect has some just silly protection on it, you need to register your CD-Key online to get the patch/extra content, and then the extra content itself comes with a CD-Key.

That is really, really, cool.

Here is a quick picture of the build: I'm still waiting on the extra fans to arrive, so I'm not doing anything strenuous to the machine, yet. I do have a question regarding fans, what do I want to achieve with the additional fans? I've got the two in the front, the side, the back, and...

I just finally upgraded to the multiple core bandwagon. My old rig: AMD Athlon 64, 2.0ghz 512 Kingston SDRAM DDR 3200 Some random PSU Gigabyte K8NS mobo Gigabyte GeForce 6800 (the neat one with an all passive heat sink) Some random case My sister still runs the same system, but with...

I will most defiantly post pictures for your enjoyment.

Although I'm sure it wouldn't happen, anyone else get an image in their mind of one of those punching clowns when they think of seeing the guys on the Segways start shooting?

All ordered, went with the vx550, thank you.

Thank you for the input, I'm not sure what I was thinking with the case/psu, it made sense at the time. I've changed to the XIGMATEK, Antec EA650, Antec Three Hundred, and the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L

It's been a while since I last built my own computer (who remembers socket 754?) Anyways, I'm looking to build a computer that will handle some medium gaming, photoshop, plus some CAD work, with this in mind I would also like to be able to postpone upgrading for several years after building...

I have that same printer, and honestly they're not really losing anything by throwing it away. Of course now I am looking at the thing and almost afraid to open it up.

Of course, but I would have that year to enjoy it and not silently kick myself for jumping the gun (a dual core would've really helped my CAD work)

My father uses Chief Architect currently. He's used it to design several of our farm's run-in sheds, our barn, and is currently working on the house. He loves it. The computer he works on is an older Pentium 4, 2.4ghz Prescott, with 1.5gb of RAM and my old GeForce 6800. It runs perfectly...

This is why I'm holding off on buying a new laptop, I'm waiting for an 8 series with DirectX 10. Last time I bought a laptop I jumped on a deal from Dell, and a month later Dual Cores came out.

Its professional, and I dont make chocolate molds, I make jewelry on it. I'm still learning how to use it fully though. Its an amazing machine. You design the piece of jewelry in the program, then transfer it over to a machine that carves the design out of a piece of wax. You then use the...

Yea, the system I use is designed for jewelers/specialty crafts (it can make chocolate molds!) Thanks for the answers.

Okay, thank you.

I'm unsure if I should post this in processors, graphics cards, RAM, or what, so I'm posting it here. I use a 3D design program called ArtCAM, its a CAD/CAM system. I was looking at upgrading my computer and was wondering what the CAD system uses most for rendering quickly. Is is the...

I still use an old Gateway laptop that my family purchased in 1998, sure the battery is dead and the thing weighs more than a tank, but it works, and works well.

Vista has bugs? Holy cow, I havent seen any. Aside from a lack of drivers for some things, I have had zero problems with Vista. I'm using a Dell 9300 too.

Me and my little Inspiron 9300 with a Celeron 1.7ghz processor, 2 gigs of RAM, and a GeForce 6800

2 gigs and running perfectly smooth.

Thats probably it than, Blaze. What bugs the heck out of me (and has for quite some time now) is the local Super Wal-Mart let the PS3 kiddies camp inside the store on release day. While the Nintendo kiddies had to wait outside (wtf?) A few weeks later when they where to receive another...

Imaginationville, Nowhere USA

Im looking for something under $1000. I would like it to be in the 15.4inch screen range (I've got a 17inch 9300). I don't need a graphic beast, but something that will last me a few years reliably.

I'm getting ready to move to school and I'm looking for a laptop that will last me a while, I would prefer a dual core laptop, at a decent price. However I don't need an operating system. I know that Dell is offering desktops without an OS, but are there any companies that offer laptops...

Yea, on shotguns that have a pump action,or pistols that have slides (or revolvers, as long as the caliber is large enough). There is no where to put the lock on rifles with internal box magazines, or on breach loading shotguns.

Shame that cable locks only work on firearms that have a magazine.

TANSTAAFL There Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

I bit. I was hesitent about it at first, but thought about it a little and realised that the shop where I work would be able to use them somehow. I have some neat ideas planned.

I sum this post up with: lol
