Mid Range Phones.

Somewhere out in the ether are a couple more posts of mine from yesterday. I pulled the trigger on a new 2015 Moto X Pure with 64GB storage for $270 yesterday. This was mainly because of the storage, the microSD slot, LTE Band 12 and WiFi calling on T-Mobile. It was on sale at Amazon, and that...

Mid Range Phones.

I'm driving myself a little nuts between the LG G5 and the ZTE Axon 7. On the one hand, LG is a known brand, has the interesting wide angle camera, and while the phone didn't sell well at $650, at $400 it seems like a good value. On the other hand, the ZTE is $350, has more storage built in...

Intermittent problem: won't POST but everything lights up

So, I did a both-and solution. I sent the old power supply to Corsair, who sent me a new CX430 power supply. I did the standard replacement on it, so it took 11 days shipping out to California (USPS) and return ship from Hong Kong(!) via UPS Express. If I have time soon, I'll test the power...

Intermittent problem: won't POST but everything lights up

I picked up a power supply tester yesterday. With just the power supply 24 pin and 8 pin motherboard connectors plugged in, everything was OK. But with a SATA or a Molex connector plugged in as well, the power good line was not responding some of the time. I'm guessing that the Windows...

Intermittent problem: won't POST but everything lights up

I agree that it seems like a lot. The calculator said I was probably pulling 256w at load, and recommended at least a 306w power supply. This is the calculator I used: http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator I hadn't heard about the power supply tester. I'll take a look at that. Thanks!

Dell Inspiron 15 Celeron 1007 $229 - Micro Center In-store only

This looks to be nearly as good as the Toshiba that was popular back in November, if you have a MicroCenter nearby. I'm thinking about one as a HTPC (see thread in HTPC forum.) http://www.microcenter.com/product/427914/Inspiron_15_156_Laptop_Computer_-_Black

Cheap laptop as HTPC

I'm thinking about getting this laptop to use as a cheap HTPC, running XMBC client to a NPVR server installation on my wife's desktop. I know very little about Intel integrated graphics, and I'm not sure if this would do the job at HD 1080. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks...

ACER AL2051W @ Newegg for $200

Thanks to XTKnight and Cheex and all of the other reviews, I bought this monitor. Got it for $199+free shipping. No dead pixels. This is an awesome display. I moved up from a 17" crt. Compared to my old monitor, I'm able to see so much more detail and the colors really pop. I noticed...
