Closed bidding on a house

I found a nice place for 165k in a neighborhood that runs closer to 300k. It needs a decent amount of fix up (paint, carpet, etc) but nothing structural. I estimate the repair costs to be no more than 10k. The house is a short sale and is running a closed bid. There are two offers on the house...

Hard Drive 0'd by itself, possible?

I do a little repair work on the side and got a laptop from someone with little experience saying she was using her PC and after restarting it got a "Invalid system disk" error message. After a little investigation I found that the drive was lacking a boot partition and from there checked to...

AT style signal to ATX style

I think I'm going to give that 555 circuit a shot, seems like that will give me the functionality I'm looking for. I can use the reset, or mod the ps switch to momentary, but if you look around mini-itx.com and such it's been done before. I have yet to see a modern PC built inside using the...

AT style signal to ATX style

So I have a gutted NES with it's AT style toggle switch. I'm going to be building an atx system inside of it and I was wondering if there's a way to get a "single pulse" from the power switch's toggle. I would like to keep this PC as close to the NES' functionality as possible, and I'd like to...

Gamers today are sissies

First person games have been lame as hell lately, its been Halo syndrome and more. Crysis, Gears of War, Call of Duty 4 all have regen-o-health, which makes things easy on a retarded level. I can turn Crysis on it's hardest setting and literally walk into 10 guys. Just toss a few grenades...

Vuzix VR920

Tom's just did a review of Vuzix VR920 virtual reality headset. Tom's tests seem kind of limited, has anyone around here ever tried em? If this thing could track fps games reliably it would be amazing. Link

Q35 Mini ITX, core2 pci-e

Just to follow up if anyone was following this, the company just got back to me. It's $409 for the model with gigabit LAN onboard (um... ouch). Gonna see what the 10/100 model is. Eh, its kinda hard to drop that kind of dough on just a mainboard =/ Edit: Wow, they got back to me quick, $389...

For those of you with high end gaming computers

One important part of current gen gaming is the monitor. Most monitors can't support a composite / HDMI input but support a '1080p' (actually 1920x1200 is higher resolution) resolution from a PC. You can easily find a monitor that does this for less than $300. Finding a 1080p HDTV for your games...

What would modern MMOs be like.....

Just my 2 cp... to the OP I'd say the best view on how things would be if there were no WoW is if you looked at how Vanguard was mid-development. NO OPINION ON IT, theres a huge amount of grudge here (just look at VG forums) not tryin to start a war or anything. Basically, my understanding is...

Ultimate LAN pc

The link for one site I found is: http://www.logicsupply.com/cat...sories/pci_riser_cards I don't really have any fabrication skills but it seems like in order to pull this off I'm going to need to learn some, doesn't seem like they make a case that comes close to what I'm lookin for. Maybe a...

Ultimate LAN pc

Hi all, thinking about building a new small form factor system specifically for lan parties, as of right now I have a thermaltake lanbox, but it's too heavy and too much of a pain to work with. I've had this idea to create a new system and i want to get it down to the size of maybe a ps3, it...
