    USB Soundcard (for better quality)

    So update on this. I do like my Fulla 2, it does run a touch warm. The main problem was the old Logitech amp I was temporarily using. The tone it was pushing through was very strong in the mids which made them overbearing and harsh, and there wasn't much fidelity. I would imagine because it was...

    USB Soundcard (for better quality)

    They wouldn't and that's not what I got them for (to correct the speakers). Just wanted a cleaner and better sound card. At one point in time with a specific driver I was getting bunch of audio jitter with that sound card. Newer driver got rid of it. I think it still clicks every once in a...

    USB Soundcard (for better quality)

    OH I'm not having that kind of problem that I could tell. It actually pushes them fairly well. What I meant at not very good at music was related to the freq. response curve being a bit spikey, the tone of them in the mid to kinda high area... odd bright spots. A review of them confirmed that...

    USB Soundcard (for better quality)

    lol. I just have an old Logitech THX system whose speakers I kept blowing up so now it's powering a pair of low end Polks from BB that aren't very good at music. That's ok as it's just a hold me over until I get around to building something completely different. So for now the Fulla 2 is a toy...

    USB Soundcard (for better quality)

    Anyone have any recommendations for a USB Soundcard for higher quality DACs than what's in my HTPC Laptop (Thinkpad T520). I mean eventually i can use the display port audio out to a proper amplifier but I don't have that yet. So now for music, movies, just would like something with really...

    I hate cheap capacitors!!! (sourcing)

    I corrected the title and added "cheap" since that made more sense :) Well with TVs I'm hoping the switch to LED backlights will help with longevity with the inverter or psu of CCFL backlights being a problem at times. Less overall power draw and heat too \o/. I forgot to mention that my own...

    I hate cheap capacitors!!! (sourcing)

    Yeah, my 690 was subjected to pretty hot ambient temps during the summer so that might have contributed. Interestingly a buddy of mine has a 690 too that was bought from place and time with the same problem *shrugs*. Still rather disappointing for a machine of that kind of build. I went around...

    I hate cheap capacitors!!! (sourcing)

    hah, yeah I've done em... 8-10 years ago lol. I Haven't had any bad cap problems till recently other than on a TV backlight PSU but I just pointed it out to my dad (that it was likely bad caps) and let him have at it which was the problem and has been fine since. I found www.badcaps.net which...

    I hate cheap capacitors!!! (sourcing)

    Also, I'm curious to whether having a machine in a higher ambient temp environment (90+F) vs a cooler one (60s) would noticeably decrease the lifespan of capacitors... I would think so.

    I hate cheap capacitors!!! (sourcing)

    I'm probably going to end up replacing the caps on the mobo of my Dell Precision 690 just because there's only like 4 of them that need replaced and I want that machine to work. I've done this before with an old Epox 8RDA+, pissed me off when the caps went bad on that one too cuz I really...

    ideal way of setting up VPN

    I ended up using the OpenVPN built into Pfsense 2.1 and i'm really impressed with it. It wasn't that hard to setup and it was pretty well streamlined in. There's even a package you can install (called Client Export) that will auto generate client installation files for windows...THAT is slick...

    ideal way of setting up VPN

    It should be powerful enough for a couple of random connections. I know that box is way overkill for the role.

    ideal way of setting up VPN

    So it has come to a point where some users would like to access the file directory remotely from their work laptop. Normally anyone that needed to get stuff would just RDP into their machine they left behind. I'm interesting in setting up a VPN but not sure what the preferred...

    Cloning SSD to SSD

    Clonezilla disk to disk worked fine and it seemed to get the offset or whatever right (made AS SSD happy). Performance is better on the M500 over the M4 \o/ (but seems low compared to other systems) but really I needed more space.

    Cloning SSD to SSD

    I need to upgrade from a 64gb Crucial M4 with Windows 8.1 Pro to a 120gb Crucial M500. I am planning on using Clonezilla to do this unless there is a better tool to use? Also this should be no problem right? Anything else I need to know? Other than deactivating my RSLogix activation...

    Once upon a time, I don't use any of Windows default software...

    I used to use Firefox but it annoyed the crap out of me with sluggish performance and annoying updates. Now i primarily use Chrome. MPC-HC is by far my preferred player!

    Windows 8.1 limited connection

    I have this problem with wifi (where it drops the wifi connect and can't get back on it) on my old Thinkpad T60 and windows 8.1...the only thing that fixes it is a reboot. I will disable power management to see if that fixes it.

    Problems with wireless AP and DHCP

    Could be some odd glitch with the Netgear... At work when we were using an old Linksys router, every time an Android device would hop on the wifi network, total packet loss on the WAN connection would happen for 4-5 seconds. The Linksys wasn't even the DHCP server. I replaced the Linksys with...

    Problems with wireless AP and DHCP

    Is it only the devices that are connecting through the netgear that start self assigning? ie. anything that is connecting through its wifi or ethernet ports but all over devices that are on the LAN and do not have to connect through the Netgear to get to the DHCP server are fine.

    Is Windows 8 really that bad? (Windows 7 user)

    I think it sucks because it isn't refined and will be like a ME/Vista. I've ran into a number of quirks like excel disappearing from the taskbar when I have documents open, taskbar not refreshing, network drives not mapping via script that worked in all the previous OSs, 8.1 won't install on...

    CPU demand on Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu/Lubuntu

    I ran Ubuntu 10.04.3 and Windows 7 on my old Thinkpad T43 (centrino 1.8ghz) and I found that 7 ran more efficiently/better than Ubuntu.

    Vid card for HTPC

    Actually i'm not sure for this machine's use if it needs CUDA. I use CUDA on mine for x264 decoding and can't remember if helped with internet video in web browser or not. After my HTPC I just made it a standard req. etc.

    Vid card for HTPC

    I'm looking for something for a Dell Optiplex 745 standard mini tower we have that we are going to use for HTPC. Is there something that is cheap, has passive cooling (no fan), CUDA, and has HDMI out with audio? If HDMI with audio isn't really available for cheap then how about HDMI out...

    Netflix, audio gets quiet after 20min or so

    Has anyone ran into an issue where you start watching something on Netflix, audio is at normal level....then after 20 min or so the volume level just drops to a lower level and holds there? This is on Windows 8, in IE (desktop). Pretty annoying.

    Really? I can't upgrade to Win8?

    I wouldn't pay too much attention to compatibility lists like that....it really boils down to drivers etc. Windows 8 runs just fine and dandy on my old Thinkpad T60 w/ 4:3" display!

    Factory fitted screen protectors please

    I don't have those problems, then again i don't use crappy protectors. And any slight loss of quality in which u speak of in which is lol-really-nothing is far far better than a permanently damaged screen.

    using Remote Desktop on a host w/ no k/v/m: just turn on and connect

    Does your box have a network connection prior to logging in?

    Factory fitted screen protectors please

    I have no case on my Atrix 2 but a screen protector. I would take a screen protector over a case if i had to pick one as there are plenty other ways for a screen to get ruined.
