    8 - 12 port 10GbE switch?

    I have a project coming up where 10GbE would make everything much easier. The problem is I just don't see many options out there for low SFP+ port density switches at this point. No room in the budget for a couple of $10K+ switches. Ideal solution would be a couple of stackable switches with 8...

    Does Samsung have a tool for migrating between Samsung devices that works better than Samsung Smart Switch, which appears to be more targeted at migrating from a non-Samsung deivce -> Samsung? Is there a better third party app in the play store? Verizon suggests you use their cloud app. Any...

    Microcenter bundle and build recommendations

    I'm looking for a motherboard to use in a new computer for pops. Rock solid, good build, and won't give me any trouble. I don't need overclocking, SLI/Crossfire, fancy bios, 10 SATA ports, RAID, etc., just something that will work with an i5 and whatever basic RAM (probably just the cheapest...

    Verizon iPhone 5 - best prepaid/monthly options with other carriers?

    I'm thinking about giving my father a spare Verizon iPhone 5 that I have. He currently has a basic phone on a Verizon prepaid plan and I believe he puts $200/year on it with $100 refills. I know the phone will on t-mobile's 4G network (not LTE), not sure about AT&T. T-mobile has a $35 unlimited...

    What size scews for TV stand?

    I have a Dynex 42" TV DX-42E250A12 and the screws I have for my old TV stand are too short as the VESA mounting holes are not flush with the back of the TV, but sunk in a bit.

There were 2 Droid Maxx and 2 Ultra phones on display and all 4 had the exact same image burned into the screen. I've never seen this on a phone before, and these display models...

    WMC - spacebar driving me crazy

    Is there any way to change or override the shortcut keys in Windows Media Center? The major issue is when I pause the show I'm watching, then come back to it I instinctively press the space bar. Due to some sadistic prick at Microsoft, WMC decides that I must want to go back to the previous...

    Need 8 port RS232 hub to usb

    Looking for recomendations for an ~8 port RS232 hub to connect to servers via USB. I need something rock solid that won't reorder the ports between reboots or power loss. If it plays nice with ESXi that's a plus, but I'll probably end up with Windows or Linux on these boxes.

    Deloitte, take my money. Please?

    Need a list of Prepaid and Pay-As-You-Go carriers for ATT iPhone

I haven't had to deal with these services in the US, and from what I can find it seemed more straight forward when I lived overseas, so can anyone...

    USB Dual HDD Enclosure with RAID 1

    Sennheiser HD 595 - cracking after 2 years

    Just checked the Sennheiser site and noticed the warranty is only 2 years.
