Hello all. I'm looking to set up a private google buzz / twitter-like server for private use by my friends and I. I don't want anything fancy, just a way for a few friends to share links, post pictures, etc that we have full control over. The internet it written in ink and as a professional...
Hello all,
Does anyone know of a nice black aluminum ATX HTPC case which will fit a Thermalright Shaman? I'd really like to stick to all 140mm fans.
I was looking at the Lian Li PC-C60B but unfortunately it looks like it's not tall enough.
Thanks,
Jason
Hello all.
Is it possible to dynamically switch between the Intel Integrated graphics on sandy/ivy bridge chips and a discrete gpu to save energy?
It seems crazy that I have a GPU that uses 100W at idle when 90% of the time I could get by with just the integrated. (The 10% being gaming.)...
Hello all. Does anyone know if there's any point to getting the 3770K vs the 3770T?
I was thinking I'd like to set up the processor with a very low non-turbo clock speed and a high turbo clock speed, kind of like what the 3770T does. Does it pay to get the 'T' or can this same thing be...
Hello all. I was looking to put together a low power home server. I have a core i7 920 machine I was thinking of using for this purpose.
Is underclocking the processor a viable option to reduce power consumption? If so, to what degree can you reduce it before things stop working?
I'd...
Hello all. I am looking to store a large amount of media: movies, tv, music, etc.
Speed isn't a huge concern as I don't think this will impact watching a movie, etc. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
I backup everything I can't afford to lose already so that really has no bearing on this...
I have a Thermalright AXP-140 RT on my i7 920 in my HTPC. I have it overclocked and temperatures are a bit higher than I'd like.
Is the Noctua NH-C14 a worthwhile upgrade to bring my temps down or will I see only a few degree difference? I think I can fit the Noctua with both fans. I...

I'm looking to have (3) locations where I can plug in a laptop to a projector. Can I just have a passive splitter on the projector and run DVI cables to each location or do I need an active switcher?
Thanks,

Quick question which I think I know the answer to but I just wanted to make sure:
If I am playing a game and I keep my windows task manager on the second screen. If the CPU usage never goes above 50-60% on 4 cores (all about evenly) is it possible for my FPS to be "CPU limited"? I'm...
Hello all. I've always bought all new ram at the same time. I currently have a Core i7 setup with 6GB of ram. I was looking to upgrade to 12GB of ram as I do a lot of heavy CAD work and multitasking.
I currently have a matched set of (3) 2GB sticks of ram...
I'm looking at buying a house approximately 1/5th of a mile from my parents house. I was hoping to set up a network bridge so that I can grab internet from their house. It's mostly line of sight straight to the house with minimal obstructions (typical suburbia with half the distance being a...
Hello all. I'm getting ready for the release of Skyrim and was looking to upgrade my machine. I currently am running an Asus P6T Deluxe motherboard with a GTX 280. I was looking at picking up (2) more GTX 280's and running 3-way SLI. I have a 1000W Corsair power supply so I assume it will...
I have a situation where there are two houses approximately 500 feet apart (maybe 350' not exactly sure) with LOS possible. Can house A have a router after the ISP supplied router which will feed a directional antenna and then connect to another directional antenna in house B to allow for...
I was looking to make (2) different homes appear to be the same LAN. Each house has its own separate FIOS connection and the homes are a few miles apart. Is it possible to tunnel through (on OSI layer 2, I think?) like this?
I've scoured the internet and can't seem to find any benchmarks.
Has anyone here used the Drobo S 2nd Generation with USB 3.0? If so, any benchmarks?
Thanks.
Ok so I'm upgrading my storage in general on my main home computer.
I currently have a 300GB Velociraptor as my applications/os drive & (2) 1TB seagates for my storage.
I'm thinking of moving up to (2) 2TB WD Green Drives for storage but I'm not sure how I should do my os / applications...
I'm looking for a recommendation for a hard drive that will solely be used for storing and viewing media. Is it worth getting a fast drive like the WD Black drives or will the WD Green drives be fine for this purpose? I'm looking to get (2) 2TB drives.
Thanks in advance.
I have a PC I built a while ago with a Core i7 920, Asus P6T v1, & an NVIDIA GTX 280. I recently upgraded to a 1000W corsair power supply.
I'm looking to expand to a 4 monitor setup. It seems like it wouldn't be worth it to buy another GTX 280 because if I sli them I'll only get 2 monitor...
I have been interested in a dual core gaming and multitasking laptop so I have been waiting for Core Duo laptops to be available from Dell or Alienware. Anyone know when we will be seeing these?
EDIT: Hoping for one with a 6800go class video card or better.
Hey all, I have been lurking in these forums for a while now and I have some questions!
In newer laptops that have Pentium M and Core Duo chips, are the processors able to be upgraded by the user (provided that it is compatible, I also know there is a likely to be a great deal of...
