    Poll: how did you get the latest version of the OS you're using on your home pc?

    I have multiple copies of various flavors of Windows (XP Pro 32 and 64, Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, Server 2003 and 2008) that are either academic copies that were virtually free through my school, or completely free through different promotions (DreamSpark, power together, Live...

    Windows Home Server question

    So, aside from maintaining the original primary drive as first in boot order, the order in which the other drives were connected wouldn't impact the O/S' ability to reconstruct the storage pool? I'm mostly sold on giving WHS a try, but I am leaning toward installing the trial on my current...

    Windows Home Server question

    Thanks for the heads-up. From the sounds of it, it's a pretty good alternative to RAID, given that you can specify exactly what you want backed up, and a single drive failure doesn't effect the rest of the pool. No drives lost to parity, and no expensive controller needed. What happens in the...

    Windows Home Server question

    I'm putting together a home file server and am trying to decide between Server 2008 & hardware RAID-6 and Windows Home Server. I've been reading about the WHS storage pool, and everything I've read mentions folder duplication, but I'm not clear how the O/S handles drive failure in the event...

    [Retired] The LCD Thread

    Any good reason to get the NEC LCD2690 (or LCD2490) over the Planar PX2611W for a system where color accuracy isn't particularly critical? Right now I'm using a Soyo Topaz P-MVA that I picked up for next to nothing from OM a year or so ago, but it's killing my eyes (I've never had eye strain...

    Soyo 24" Topaz now TN's

    That's probably going to be my interim solution. It might not look pretty, but it's a lot cheaper than spending $200 on monitor arms. :)

    Soyo 24" Topaz now TN's

    I picked up a 2nd one of these today, and have it sitting directly to the left of the one I picked up last year. The older one is a 6ms model, the newer one is a 3ms. I did notice a bit of difference with identical screen settings, displaying the same picture - the newer one seemed slightly more...

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    I've had this monitor for a bit over a week now. I was experiencing the flashing green pixel artifacting after a resolution change, and occasionally coming out of sleep or when first powering on. From what I can tell it was a problem with either my video board, or driver - I upgraded this...

    Disappointing to see Newegg price gouging to this extent - looks like I will be picking up the parts for my new system through another site.

    2 Sapphire X850XT's PCI-E starting at $133AR @ egg

    All of my e-mails were to Sapphire@myrebates411.com - I sent my resubmission via e-mail also in pdf format, after which it took a little over a month and 3-4 more e-mails before I actually received the check. Also, I can confirm from the e-mails I received from customer service that 717-427-8611...

    2 Sapphire X850XT's PCI-E starting at $133AR @ egg

    I started e-mailing them in late June, requesting status on the rebate. Like the previous poster, they claimed my rebate submission was lost and asked me to resubmit, which I did. I was told the check would go out that following week - a month later, not having received a check, I sent two more...

    MSI Radeon X1900 XT 289 After Rebate

    I just received the check for a rebate on a Sapphire X850XT I picked up in late March. It was the only one of three rebates sent in at the time that I had problems with, and it took a half dozen e-mails along with resubmitting a .pdf of my rebate form, receipt and UPC (my original submission was...

    Coolermaster Stacker STC-T01 Silver / Black $120 AMIR

    If you're working with limited space, then this case might not be a great choice, but I personally prefer it to any other case I've worked with. I went from an Antec Sonata on my main system to the Stacker 810, and I've had absolutely no complaints with the case - it's nice to work with...

    OEM Core 2 Duos

    I would be fine with an OEM CPU, but $380 for an OEM 6600 is too much. I would prefer to wait and get a relatively good price for the chip, rather than pay a premium and get it a few weeks earlier.

    Cracked housing on Compaq P110 CRT - safety hazard?

    I just purchased a Compaq P110 monitor for another system. The monitor arrived with a fairly decent crack in the upper left corner of the front of the plastic housing. While I am most likely going to RMA the monitor, it is working perfectly with no visible screen defects, and given that the...

    Hot! Seagate 7200 120Gb SATA $59

    Same here, ordered 4 drives shipped FedEx ground (less for transit time than the fact that FedEx is much less likely to beat the hell out of a package than the local UPS hub :P )... but I will be surprised if this order actually ships.

    removed

    Yep, I picked up one of the 50 packs from PC Club, and have experienced exactly the same problem with my A05. It seems that pretty much every one of them that I have burned to capacity has this problem - the only ones that have not turned out to be coasters are the ones that were not. I've also...

    OK, so this lady says that she will give me 2-3 thousand dollars to build her a computer...

    The Radeon 8500 is a good board, hardware-wise, but right now there are way too many issues (especially under WinXP) for me to recommend it. If she isn't into gaming, you might be better off looking into a Matrox board and a good capture card. I'm also not sure the KT266A is the best choice...

    I've developed an intense hatred of spiders during the course of living in my current house. At certain times of the year, I'm absolutely infested with them - I've had spiders land on my head while I was at the computer, I've woken up with a spider bite on the inside of my mouth, sometimes...

    Check out this: 5 foot diameter round LCD projector monitor Only $20,594.95

    Yeah, I think I'd go with the IBM, too. The 180° monitor looks a bit too Star Trek for my tastes. ;)

    8k7a and Newegg

    I placed two separate orders from Newegg last Thursday, one for a 1.4GHz Athlon, Enermax power supply and 8K7A, and another for a Radeon and DVD-ROM (which was placed 10-12 hours afterwards). The video board and DVD got here yesterday morning, but it looks like the CPU &amp; motherboard won't...

    Here's a longshot: anyone used both the Santa Cruz and the Acoustic Edge? What are your comments?

    I had a lot of problems initially with the AE under Windows 2000, random BSOD, sound glitches. The initial drivers were pitiful. However, the most recent drivers have cleared up the instability issues, and the card has worked very well under 2K for the past few months. I've been very happy with...

    Is there a 760 chipset MB out that has the 766 Southbridge?

    I don't think there is one presently, other than the Tyan K7 Thunder, which is way too expensive (around $400 without onboard SCSI).

    I picked up a few spindles of 8x 74m media from CD-Recordable.com a ways back, and had nothing but trouble with them on the Plextor 8/20 I was using at that time. No reliable burns over 4x (some wouldn't even take a 4x burn), and most of the discs I -did- burn successfully were no longer...

    The Curse of the X15s

    I've tried both drives in the Ci3520 external enclosure I keep my 18XLs in (after having problems), and this did nothing to correct the issue, so if it's a power supply issue it would have had to cause a permanent malfunction with the drives - I wasn't able to get either of them to work even...

    The Curse of the X15s

    Okay, I am officially a very unhappy camper. I put together a MSI Pro2-a based 1.2GHz Athlon system within the past few weeks, and picked up two Seagate X15s to go with it. The first one I received was DOA - the drive was powering up, but would hang on the BIOS screen every time (Adaptec 39160)...

    A good UPS????

    I've always went with APC exclusively. Right now I have three UPS units - two 650s and a 1200 for my main system - their 1250 line conditioner for my home theater, and various and sundry APC surge suppressors. Every one of their products I've purchased has been rock solid.

    I just realized I have no "best' friend

    I've pretty much killed my own social life, such as it was. I have two friends left, one of them a good friend (who I've known since I was 3 years old), and neither of whom I have the chance to see much. I must have a completely different view of what a friendship is, compared to most of the...

    POLL : A Night w/ a Supermodel of your choice or 50 yard front row seats @ the Super Bowl?

    I can't stand football. I might think twice about it, if it were the Rangers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals... But I'd still take the supermodel. And it would be a very productive 10 hours. :D
