Are OCZ reliable?

Whatever component in the psu that was failing probably caused unstable voltages and just power surged frying the cpu and mobo.

Are OCZ reliable?

You can count me as one of the unlucky ones. I had a MODXStream running an overclocked E8400 on a 650i mobo with GTX260 for a year and half with no problems. As soon as I upgraded to a 2500K with P67 mobo, it killed that CPU and mobo, then killed the replacement CPU, before finally dying...

I don't think I have keystone jacks in my cat6 install...more like cheapstone.

I've seen that wall plate in Lowes. It is sold as an RJ45 Network wall plate and makes it easier to put in network jacks around the house without a punchdown tool and without keystones. The low price is what makes them very attractive to use. http://www.cablesonline.com/1porrjivwalp.html

I tried to lag test my monitors but cannot make sense of the results

If everything is set at 60Hz, Each frame only refreshes every 16.67ms. Subtract the times you see on the other monitors from the time seen on the CRT. The smaller the difference the better.

Apparently powerline adapters aren't completely transparent, can anyone explain why?

Here are two combinations I tried recently. If you want the second wireless router to have its own SSID, then the following 1. Internet to WAN port of #1 wireless router (DHCP On, AP mode) 2. #1 Wireless Router LAN to #1 Powerline to #1 Outlet 3. #2 Outlet to #2 Powerline to WAN port on...

need help finding wireless keyboard/mouse

Logitech mice and keyboards have been pretty good the past couple years. Reliable, good range, and have not run into interference issues. Make sure to look for the ones with the unifying receiver. They are always having some good deals in their outlet center.

HSF - Anything good for i5-2500k smaller than 120mm?

I'm using the 212+ with the same cpu as you. You can mount the fan a little higher up on the heatsink so that the ram clears the bottom of the fan. I have mine installed this way and it gives at least an extra 5mm above the ram. But there definitely isn't too much room to swap ram in and out...

experiences with Linksys Cisco Refurbs?

Well refurbs by nature are hit or miss. Depends on the reason it was returned to manufacturer and if any repair was done. IMO, refurbs are better than buying new as whatever issues you might have encountered with a new unit would have been resolved in the repaired refurb unit. Anyway, I...

Corsair CX430 $17 AR AC FS

I bought one of the CX400 too when Newegg was selling off their inventory. Bought the CX430 during the last sale. And just bought another one now. Best PSU under $20. Mine is very quiet so no complaints here.

Format recovery software

I've used Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery and have been successful as long as there is no disk damage. In fact I just used it as recently as last week. It can do several different scans including sector scanning which is the most thorough but takes a long time.

mx1100 so i bought one off a guy with no reciever.. how does itwork!?

i'm curious to know the answer to this as well. I have the same mouse, but mine came with the cordless desktop wave package. On the usb receiver there is a "connect" button and on the mouse there is also a "connect" button. So it might be possible to sync another mouse to the receiver, but...

A few TQ questions (new to the game)

A few years ago, I setup my wife as a Spirit + Earth. She had no idea what the game was about; can't read or understand English that well; and still beat the game by herself. Even now when she's bored she'll still ask me to reinstall the game for her to play. But with all the bugs and...

I miss folder size in windows 7 and vista.

What a coincidence........I just recently upgraded to Win7 x64 and was searching for a solution for this yesterday. I found a program called Shellfolderfix. It will remember windows positions and sizes. I am installing it right now.
