Ok, I know that its possible to set up mozilla with multiple tabs for different sites, and make all three home pages that open when the browser is open, but I need it even easier than that. What I need is to be able to put multiple ICONS on the desktop, and rename them for the individual...

I have googled this question, but alot of the stuff I read says that Media Center is dead and there are better options out there. I have used XBMC and really dont like it too much. Although it is nice, I just dont have the time to configure it correctly. SO, is Windows Media Center easier...

Right now I am watching all TV by streaming off of Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus. On a 7 year old intel based computer. All of my channels are in my favorites on firefox. Of course this is not ideal, but I dont want to waste my time setting it up since the computer is just about to head...

I was thinking about a vacumme gauge for a car, but I dont know if the increments get low enough to check it. You can get vacumme gauges for cars in inches of mercury with vacumme and boost readings, or you can find or make a manometer wich is easier to calibrate than one would think. I dont...

I am sure the attention to details is what makes the concept work well. For instance I plan on actually swapping out the vented plexi side panel for another piece. Also am going to look into sealing off as much as possible in the mating surfaces of the case panels. For instance, one thing I...

I had looked into that a little. The fans I mentioned above were questionable to me. I had not really looked hard at them yet. I did research the controller, and someone on here recommended it. What are some uses these type of fans in the industry. I figure servers and the like use...

I am going to run dust filters on all the intake fans, matter of fact it was a site for fan filters that showed me the idea. As long as there is more air coming in from the intake fans then going out of the exhausts fans and vents, then the air will be under pressure. Air goes out of the...

I have a bitfenix recon fan controller on the way. I got a few questions about using a fan controller. Should I leave the GPU fan as is (GTX 670 FTW), or should I control it with the fan controller? The controller also has temperature sensors, but I would rather use the readings given from...

I saw a website where it talked about keeping a positive pressure on the case to keep dust from making its way into the case. I like this idea but have a couple of questions. I have a corsair C70 case. Of course if I would have to do this I would have to block off some vents. What I was...

So I have seen a couple of "laptops" that are over two inches thick with a fold up display. Now of course these totally go against the grain of todays laptops, but so does full tower cases with fifteen hard drives, more plumbing than the sears tower, and enough light to land a small aircraft...

I wasnt using the maximus. But if I were going to go the full blown watercooling route, I would have cooled the chipset (if they make a waterblock for it) and the motherboards block as one on a 120mm rad on the back, and a 240 rad on the GPU. And ran this dual pump, dual 5.25 reservoir setup I...

I bought it with the intention of overclocking, and eventually I will. I just want the computer completely built and working up to proper spec before I start. I still gotta decide on some correct ram for the application. Right now I am using 8g corsair vengenance 1600. That could suffice for...

I have a Corsair C70 case. I am running a Corsair H100i cooling system on the 3770K in the top. So my fan count is the two HDD fans on the front, the single fan in the rear, and the two fans on the radiator. There is also a fan on the EVGA GTX760 FTW video card. I know I am going to use...

Ok I got a board coming. I did the sensible thing that Sleepingforest said and got what I needed instead of just blowing money. I just figured that I wasnt going to get my moneys worth out of an expensive board for my needs. I got the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H. The selling factor for me was the...

Right now I am looking into a new motherboard. One of the things I am doing with this computer is heavy media file storage. I will probably have a seperate drive for photos, music, videos and documents. While I could use one drive and partition it, I would rather use seperate drives for the...
