    Need a Good External USB Enclosure for my 200GB 2.5HD Drive

    I have a 200GB laptop hard drive lying around...to be honest, I couldn't tell you if it is IDE or SATA, but you'd think it's fairly new at that capacity so probably SATA. In any case, I've been reading reviews about external enclosures to buy and many times it's noted that HD capacity is limited...

    Samsung 940b vs. ViewSonic VX922

    Any Advice? The LCD Guide (sticky) says that the Samsung is #4 overall, #3 gaming, and the Viewsonic is #2 gaming. I'd like to lean towards the Samsung, given that I think I like the asthetics better, but am mainly concerned about video output, viewing angles and possible ghosting on the...

    Samsung 940b vs. ViewSonic VX922

    I currently still have my 19 in. Samsung CRT, which in all honesty has treated me nicely. But, I'm a college student and won't be bringing it back to my fraternity house. I've narrowed my selection down to these two screens but need help figuring out which one is the "best" for me. As I see...

    Is my HD completely dead or could I recover data?

    Thanks for the help everyone. Now I guess here is the next question. Should I take it to the local tech shop, where they'll charge $45 an hour to get data off of it and $20 if they have no luck, or should I just buy an external inclosure for ~$15 on ebay and go to work myself. Do they (local...

    Is my HD completely dead or could I recover data?

    Hi, The other day when I was in a rush to go to the football game, I bumped into my desk and my cell phone, which was sitting on the little shelf above my laptop, fell onto my Dell 600m laptop, right on the spot where the HD sits. I should note that the phone fell from over a foot and did...

    Hi, I am the network administrator at a fraternity, where now that we are headed back to school, people are having computer problems. To make matters worse (with respect to me), the house recently underwent a remodel job, without them updating the electrical wiring, which I would have...

    [Connectivity] Problems with Comcast HSI & SMC 8013WG

    Thank you both for your input. I just find the whole problem fairly strange, since we had both switches plugged into the Nexland router (which was old), which then went to our slow DSL connection's modem...our internet was slow but it was stable and the network equipment didn't die. Nothing much...

    [Connectivity] Problems with Comcast HSI & SMC 8013WG

    I'm currently living at home and so I don't have access to everything, but I think I still have most of the information memorized from when I tried to lookup stuff before (I want to get this fixed before the beginning of the school year). The current setup is as follows: Comcast High Speed...
