    Is My Sub Bad

    That is a nice sub but I really don't want to spend $300 on it. If I have to I could just get another $99 special from Parts-Express however I really would like one that lasted a good while - 5+ years.

    Is My Sub Bad

    I got a Dayton 10" sub from Parts-Express a few years ago. This was their $99 special. The sub has worked great until now... In the middle of the night it start putting out a ton of base, not a hum. It was almost like a partially connected cable but very loud. I pulled the power and...

    anyone have problems porting post paid number to prepaid plan?

    The carriers won't typically do it. The prepaid lines are kept separate. You can ask and you might be able to find a way, especially if you're staying with the same carrier.

    Can anyone recommend a wireless keyboard with a trackball?

    I like my dinovo but I have to agree there are some frustrating things like you described. For me, I don't run into these issues enough for me to replace it but I'll keep this one in mind in case I do.

    Civ 5 expansion announced. "Gods and Kings"

    Civ 5 is playable...now. I played it with a friend about a month ago. They have improved it dramatically since I played it when it first came out. There were so many issues when it first came out you could have called it an Alpha product that they released. I hope this Expansion...

    Seagate drive is clicking when it is active, but passes seatool test.

    It certainly sounds like it's on the way to failure but not quite there yet. My recommendation would be to try and make it fail. Write continuously to by copying over hundreds of GBs of data and see if it finally fails after a few days.

    Most seemless way to transition to SDD?

    I'm actually doing something similar and I found a program that should do what you want. For me, I'm moving from a 250GB drive to an SSD in my HTPC. I've spent a lot of time configuring and fine tuning it and I really don't want to reinstall. The program is called EZ Gig IV Cloning...

    Possible HTPC

    I agree with mfenn. Go with the Intel.

    Right time to get a Monitor?

    IPS is not ideal if your mainly using it for gaming. The response time is notability slow for games. 1920x1200 is rare these days. You can still find them but you typically pay a premium since most of the market has gone with the 1080p standard of 1920x1080. That said, many games do...

    How is my gaming pc build?

    I'm not familiar with that CPU heatsink however almost any heatsink (most good air coolers) will be able to handle the 20% overclock.

    How is my gaming pc build?

    1. Your CPU will not be limiting for any game current or for the next 3-4 years. 2. I don't know where you're getting this "Internal Expansion" thing from. I don't see it on the Amazon webpage or anywhere else. 3. I would say the 4 included fans should be enough. 4. 850 Watts is plenty...

    Game Recommendation - Magic

    Thanks for all the recommendations. Divinity II is along the lines of what I was looking for. But after playing the demo, I'm not sure I like it well enough. I also played the demo for Risen and didn't really like it. I'm not sure what to make of Witcher 1 & 2. I've heard some good...

    Game Recommendation - Magic

    Can I get a game recommendation for something with magic users? I'm looking for something where you play as a wizard and it has at least descent graphics (nothing from 5 years ago). It doesn't have to be new but no more than a few years old. In most D&D, RPG or other similar games I will...

    Can't get outlook (NK2 cache) autocomplete to transfer to a new PC

    Also, make sure the name is the exact same as the profile name. If it doesn't match then it won't work in Outlook.
