    FS: 15" MacBook Pro (2010)

    Perfect condition, no drops, no water damage, no scratches. I've had a skin on it since purchase and it traveled in a backpack with a laptop sleeve built in. I'm only selling because my new iPad and my desktop cover all of my computing needs. Specs: - Core i5 2.53 GHz - 4 GB RAM - 500GB...

    Anyone folding on a C2D iMac?

    I'm looking at buying either a 24" iMac or a Mac Pro within the next few months, and wanted to ask about the iMac. Primarily, I'm concerned that if I get it folding and leave it running 24/7, that it will put the fans on full blast and be too noisy. My main PC (amd 64 3000+) right now has a...

    Were there changes regarding ipod/itunes restrictions?

    I have a 4 gig ipod mini 2g, and in the year and a half that I've had it, I've attached it to probably half a dozen different computers to load up a song here or there, with no problems. My friend just recently got a brand new ipod and I was playing around with his and hooked it up to my...

    .mac - worth it?

    I just got a new macbook, and i love iPhoto. It's so much easier to use with my Rebel XT than it is on my PC. Since I normally take pictures of parties and group outings with my friends, I like to post the pics up on flickr, but it's kind of a pain. It seems that the integration between...

    Best Photo Printer?

    I'm looking into getting a good photo printer for home use, but I have no idea where to start in finding one that's right for me. I have a Rebel XT for my primary camera, and most of my shots are either at parties/hanging out with my friends OR when I take day-trips or vacations. I use...

    Pictures from Sunday (56k Watch Out)

    This is in the area of San Pedro, CA. It's Point Fermin, and there's a little area on the coast called Sunken City where the cliffs collapsed - you can see broken up streets and foundations of houses in one of the pictures. Let me know if you want full size images, I think these are about 1/4...

    Lost my lenscap, what to do?

    I lost the lens cap for my 18-55mm II that came with my rebel xt. Can you get replacements for cheap somewhere?

    Buy AppleCare Now?

    Last year for my birthday in April, I was given a 2nd gen 4 gig ipod Mini. For the past few months, the thing's been near-useless because the battery runs out every few minutes unless I have it hooked up to a power source (wall/usb). I just got an email from Apple saying that the time for me...

    Is it possible to fix a noisy fan?

    The little fan on my northbridge/southbridge or whateveritscalled started making an annoying noise yesterday. It sounds like it probably just needs to be cleaned out and lubricated. Can I take the fan off and give it some compressed air and wd-40 or something? It seems like this would be an...

    2nd Lens for New Rebel XT?

    I just purchased the Rebel XT with the 18-55mm kit lens, which should arrive here next week. I've heard that the lens isn't that great, and so I'd like to look into getting a second lens. Mostly, I take pictures of my friends & random people when we go out to bars & parties - situations where...

    NCAA Football for Xbox 360?

    Anyone know if EA is coming out with one soon? It's my favorite game for PS2, and I can't wait for it to come out on the new system. Sorry if this is widely available info. I'm at work and all the gaming sites that would be able to tell me this are blocked by websense.

    Is the 350d worth it over the 300d?

    I'm looking into maybe purchasing one of the two as my first dSLR, I really like the black body and the idea of 8mp, but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra cash over the 300d. What do you guys think?

    Ok, what's the deal with all these amplifiers & stuff?

    What's their purpose? Do they clean up sound, make it louder, etc? How do they work, generally speaking? I have an Audigy 2 ZS, which output to some Z-530s (when they get here on Wed) and a pair of Sony headphones (the big kind that cover your whole ear) that I paid like $50 or $60 bucks...

    PCI-E Soundcards, or low-profile cards?

    I currently have an Audigy 2 ZS in my system, but the Chaintech mobo has the 16x pci-e slot below the two 1x slots. My nv silencer 5 blocks one of the 3 regular pci slots, and I can't use the middle one for any full-size pci card because it would block the fan on the nv silencer. My problem...

    Wow, A64s are great!

    I got a new 3000 venice the other day and noticed a nice improvement right off from my Athlon 2200. This past week I easily oc'd the chip from 1.8ghz to 2.4ghz and shaved 2 minutes per frame off the 44 pointer I was working on. Nice! With the exception of those new opteron 144s (1.8 stock...

    What are the dimensions of the 2005fpw?

    I'm thinking about getting my dad a 2005fpw to replace his big-ass 17" crt, but I'm worried that it might not fit in the roll-top computer desk (it has drawers on either side of where the monitor goes. The width clearance is a hair under 19 1/2", the height is a little under 18" max. Can...

    Ouch! Overclocking mistake?

    My 3000+ Venice on a Chaintech VNF4 was running with no problems on stock voltage @ 2.4ghz, with the memory on a divider. I decided to push it a bit further, and got it up to 290 on a lower divider with voltage @ 4.25. For whatever reason I decided to try to set my memory at 1T, but after I...

    Best backup solution for me?

    When will we start seeing more SATA & pci-e accessories?

    I'm wondering when we'll see sound cards, network cards, etc on pci-e and optical drives on sata. I've seen one sata optical drive on the 'egg, but that's about it. Will ide and regular pci eventually be phased out in favor of these new interfaces or whatever, or will they stick around for a lot...

My only problem is how to connect my pc to my tv? I'm using s-video right now, but it makes the text unreadable. Unfortunately the...

    Small Units Lately?

    Is it just me or is everyone getting the little 41 pointers? I set up my new A64 and it hasn't gotten anything but small units. I'm starting to get worried that I set something up wrong. Using the graphic version, with "allow units over 5mb" or whatever turned on. A64 3000+ 1gb ram

    Is This Right? Bus for s754 3000+

    This is my dad's computer, and I noticed it was a bit slower compared to my s939 3000+, so I checked it out. Shouldn't the memory frequency be at 200mhz? And shouldn't it be in dual channel (there are 2 sticks of 512 pc3200), or does s754 not do that?

    Do I NEED to up the voltage to OC my 3000+?

    I'd rather not mess with that kind of stuff, as my understanding of how it all works is hazy at best. Can I get a worthwhile overclock without changing the voltage? Also, my Chaintech mobo came with this ntune software, which allows you to overclock while in windows. Is that safe, and does...

    My new system

    So my watercooling setup started to leak. Seeing as how it was never as quiet as I had hoped, and I didn't want to deal with fixing it, I just decided to take it apart. Not too big of a deal, replaced it with a 7000alcu. But I go to boot, and it turns on, the hard drives spin, the optical...

    OCAU is Ramping Up

    They've brought in a ton of active users in a short amount of time, and they're closing the gap in daily production. We need to jump on recruiting again and start borging like there's no tomorrow, otherwise we're going to see that overtake date slip into the distant future once again.
