    Recommend a monitor!

    Thanks, I'll keep that in mind about refurb AHVA panels. My desk space is extremely limited, so I'm pretty set on internal speakers.

    Recommend a monitor!

    Thanks for the recommendation! I have put that BenQ on my list, although several reviewers are complaining about the quality of the speakers (I don't need high-end audio but still want decent sound for YouTube videos and what not). Also added this Asus MX series refurb to my list. Only...

    Recommend a monitor!

    Hey guys. Looking for a new monitor and thought I'd ask for recommendations on AnandTech. The following features are must-haves, anything else is a bonus: Must have: - 27 inches - 1920x1080 - Speakers built in - Not curved Would be nice: - modern/slim design - thin bezels - matte screen I...

    Have you ever donated to medical research?

    You seem insensitive to the issue. Yes, forums might be an outlet for many people who have anxiety disorders or social phobias, but what alternatives do you suggest for them? You should read up on mental health and the way it's affecting a huge amount of population around the world.

    Good Voice-Changing Software?

    I tried MorphVox Pro a while back and it was pretty good. It works with Skype and the new TeamSpeak beta version, but honestly TeamSpeak is getting old. I wish Microsoft would open the Xbox Live chat protocol to competing platforms, especially Mac.

    Why no forum icon?

    Lol still a generic vBulletin favicon after all these years? Just run the AnandTech logo through a simple favicon generator and be done with it already.

    Identity Theft

    I was an identity theft victim in 2012. Somebody filed a false tax return on my behalf and attempted to receive over $20K from the IRS by providing fake employment information. The IRS is, of course, terrible at handling it, and even after I sent them a bunch of affidavits, they continued to...

    Terrible cable stapling job

    So I tried experimenting with stapling network cables today. As you can see, it didn't work out too well. The white cable was done by the Verizon FIOS guy and is perfect. The gray cable was done by me and is completely botched (even though my network still works). What should I have done...

    Testing LAN speed

    Yeah, I think $5 is reasonable to upgrade to Cat5e, given the different opinions. What should I use to run the cable along 3 walls and 2 corners (near the floor)? My FIOS cable is stapled nicely, but I don't have the equipment that the Verizon guy had, and it probably doesn't make sense to buy...

    Testing LAN speed

    Thanks for everyone's opinions. Btw, I am using an old Cat5 patch cable. Before I staple a 40 ft cable to the wall, should I just go out and buy a Cat5e or Cat6 cable, or is this is much speed as I'm going to get out of this setup? Cat6 cables are kind of expensive for a 40-ft cable, but...

    Testing LAN speed

    I am using a free tool called LAN Speed Test (Lite) recommended on several sites and am getting very inconsistent results (see screenshots below). I didn't even think it was possible to be getting a 1.5 Gbps speed with a regular gigabit network card. Is the software I'm using not very good...

    Memory for Intel NUC

    Thanks, that's helpful. Ironic that it's considered a desktop board since it takes notebook RAM. Should I be alerted that the memory I ordered was only tested in a 8GB configuration since I ordered 8GB x 2? In fact, it's a little odd that only two models were tested in 8GB x 2: one...

    Memory for Intel NUC

    Ethernet card vs WiFi power consumption?

    Just ordered an Intel NUC (Haswell i5), which did not come with a WiFi card. I plan to do a lot of local streaming of high-bitrate 1080p content and just found an old 40-foot Ethernet cable lying around (saved from the college dorm days!), so I'm thinking about saving $40 and skipping WiFi...

    Remove SSD enclosure?

    Looks like the M500 is still the best value: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...894&CatId=5300 I have coupons for free shipping and a $20 rebate, so the total will be $219.99.

    Remove SSD enclosure?

    Are there any other alternatives for a 512GB (or 480GB) drive under $300? The 240GB version is only $120, but I would like a little more capacity without having to plug in an external drive too often.

    Remove SSD enclosure?

    :( Thanks. Really don't want to part with $300 for an SSD, considering the computer itself cost $360. I was looking at the M500 at first but am a little afraid of the reported high temperatures. My apartment gets really hot in the summer, and I prefer leave the A/C off but the computer on...

    Remove SSD enclosure?

    I am shopping for a Crucial M550 SSD for my new Intel NUC, and the mSATA version is for some reason more expensive than the 2.5" one. Has anyone tried removing the enclosure on these Crucial SSDs to expose the mSATA drive? I would much rather do that if possible than overpay by $60 for an...

    Nook vs Kindle?

    I own both devices, but that's just me. Of course fanboys argue about it all the time, like there was another big showdown between Nook vs. Kindle fans at Nook Forum just recently. Biggest takeaway points are that the Nook platform is more open and has better format compatibility, but the...

    Best XBox 360 LAN Party games?

    That's sacrilege. Halo LAN play simply does not get boring. :P Alternating between LAN and playing with various Halo clans through Halo Forum on Xbox Live, and there is pretty much no need for Gears of War.

    Wii U GPU scans now up!

    Impressive, despite the legacy Broadway stuff. They'll probably remove that in a future Wii U model to save money anyway. There was another set of pics posted on the Giant Bomb earlier, which I believe was a repost from Nintendo Forums.

    Kindle Fie HD 8.9 or Nook HD 9 for wife.....

    That's why I seriously prefer Nook, because the rooting is so much easier. But for these two specific devices (Kindle Fire HD vs Nook HD), I believe Nook Forum posted a detailed comparison a while back, but I can't seem to find the link to the exact thread.

    Potential discovery about ATI Radeon Mobility x1300

    I did some research on this. ATI Hypermemory doubles the amount of on board memory by borrowing the other half from system RAM. So if a card is advertised as 128MB, it has 64MB physical RAM and 64 shared RAM. The x1300 in question is advertised as a 128MB card but is reported to have 256MB by...

    Potential discovery about ATI Radeon Mobility x1300

    Are you saying it's reporting an extra 128MB of virtual RAM? So it's actually hogging up 128MB of my system memory? Does that mean the x1400 would be reported as 512MB?

    Potential discovery about ATI Radeon Mobility x1300

    I wanted a low-heat solution for my new laptop that could still pull off Vista Aero and ordered an ATI Mobility x1300 which comes with 128MB (as opposed to the x1400 which comes with 256MB, at least those are the versions Dell sells). The x1300 did the trick and performed like a champ in Vista...

    Vista: Major boot sector muck-up

    I used a third-party formatting tool to allocate some space from my Vista drive for a new partition, and of course, it corrupted the MBR. Booted from CD to try the recovery environment, no luck--it couldn't find the old volume, although all the files on C:\ were intact (I could see them from...

    Bridging Mode of MN-500: Better than WET11?

    Got cheated by a car mechanic. Need help.

    Our car stalled on the road and we had it towed to a nearby shop. Upon inspection, the mechanic said that we needed a fuel pump replacement. We said OK and paid $500. After we left the shop and drove around for half a day, we realized that the fuel gauge was messed up--it was showing that the...

    EBgames.com preowned titles for 40% (net) off and free shipping

    It's not 40% off. It's 20% off the amount discounted by another 20%. So a $100 dollar purchase would cost you $64 as opposed to $60 (had it been a "true" 40% off). I'm also kind of suspicious about M$N Wallet. What are the disadvantages associated with that, as far as you guys know?

    Opening a USB Enclosure
