    External (but direct wired) drive enclosure?

    Just thinking out loud here, but tossing around the idea of doing something like this. Historically I have been driven toward full tower cases mostly because of the amount of storage drives I use in my main rig. Lately I've been thinking it might be a feasible solution to go with a much...

    A few Corsair H115i Questions

    Just picked up an H115i for the PC and tossing around a few thoughts in my head before I install. Want to get everything squared away plan-wise beforehand as I don't have any place local to go pick up parts like adapters, cables etc. Done a bit of googling, but just looking for some specific...

    HP Pavilion G7 Synaptics Touchpad Not Working

    My girlfriend has an HP Pavilion G7 laptop that is about 2 years old. When she powered it up today, the Synaptics touchpad was not working. I'm not very familiar with these laptops, but I have done everything I know how to do to get it functional with no luck. If anyone has any input, this is...

    Trying to upgrade a Dell Studio 14z - Owners Help?

    I'm trying to refresh this 14z to bring it back to usable status for school. I don't have the cash to drop on a new laptop right now, so I'm just trying to get this thing back to functional. There are a few issues with it that need addressing. First, it needs more RAM. It has only one upgrade...

    Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 fit in Tab 3 10.1 cases?

    Been trying to find a definitive answer but apparently my google-fu is weak. Anybody confirm or deny whether the tab 4 10.1" will fit in tab 3 10.1" cases? I wasn't sure if there were any hole/port changes or anything that would prevent it. Specifically I'm looking at these two keyboard...

    Just got my Phanteks Enthoo Luxe - Wow.

    Just wanted to share my experience so far, maybe for anyone on the fence or ready to click the checkout button. I fell in love with this case when I saw it and now that it's here, I can say it's everything I hoped it would be. I just can't shut up about how much I love this thing. I'll start...

    Help picking out a new LED monitor for the parents

    Did some quick google work and looked through a few pages here but didn't really see anything that caught my eye. I'm admittedly way out of the hardware loop these days due to school and other things, so I would appreciate anyone's input on some models to look into. Even a site with a current...

    Orange SATA cables? Place to buy?

    I switched my color theme in my rig over to orange (from red) awhile back. I can't seem to find orange SATA cables anywhere. Anybody know of somewhere that sells them? Need 18" or longer, 180-90 connectors. All else fails I can paint them I guess.

    Recommend me a USB 3.0 SATA & IDE dock?

    Been looking for one of these as I'm about to get rid of my only PC with IDE capability. I do a lot of fix jobs for coworkers/friends/etc and I really need to have capability to work with IDE drives. Even using the old PC is less than optimal for this, so I'm just using a rigged up cable pair...

    Reputable laptop battery replacement?

    Have a Dell Studio 14z and my battery is starting to go. Can anyone point me toward a place that sells either genuine OEM batteries or quality replacements? As long as it works as well as the original, is reliable, and doesn't set off Dell's ridiculous "This is not an OEM" crap, I'm not...

    AS-SSD score look right?

    Intel 520 128GB Just trying to make sure I have everything set up correctly. First time ssd user :D Had to run one test a second time, ninja Windows update in the background borked the score. Scores on the net are all over the freaking place and not a lot of 520 results I could find.

    Which folders to move off of SSD?

    Grabbed my first SSD today, Intel 520 120gb. Just wondering once I fresh install Win7.. Which folders should I move off to mechanical storage? I will probably be using Firefox mainly for browsing, but I have a couple sites that "require" IE (I know, trust me I know). Other than that...

    How does the Venomous-X stack up these days?

    Got one sitting here I could use for my Ivy build, but not sure how well these sinks measure up against the newest available. Seems the VX gets left out of a lot of new graphs, partly due to its age and availability I'm sure. Just curious. Not looking to get an insane OC on my 3570k, but...

    Top tier 7850 availability at Newegg?

    What's up with the availability on the 7850's at Newegg? Is there some kind of pcb change going on or something? Been trying to get my hands on a DCII or the Sapphire/MSI premium cards for awhile. Should I keep waiting or just snag a cheaper card and throw an aftermarket cooler on it?

    Few ?'s about the Asrock Z77 boards

    Trying to figure out which of the Asrock boards I want. Current setup is red themed, so Asrock is looking like the only neutral or red option here (yeah I know, but I love my red). I'm really open to either the Extreme 6, Extreme 4, or Fatality Professional. Looking for input on a few key...

    Trying to set up a budget car audio system

    First off I apologize if this is the wrong forum. I assumed it would belong here. Mods please let me know if it is more appropriately placed elsewhere. I've been out of the car audio loop since the early 2000's so I'm admittedly rusty on brands and general knowledge here, but I'm trying to...

    CD/DVD burner help (completely stumped here)

    This might be a bit lengthy, so apologies ahead of time. A few months ago I tore down my X58 rig and rebuilt it on water instead of air. Since the rebuild I've been having issues with my optical drives. Every time I try to burn a CD/DVD, the "Mastered Disc" or basically "finalized" disc...

    Arctic Silver Ceramique 2????

    I was just browsing through FrozenCPU in my spare time and noticed this on their new products page. I had no idea this was coming out, and honestly I'm really excited to use it. Loved the original Ceramique, used it for almost everything. Still have a 22g tube I've had for years and it works as...

    My first water project. *Work in progress - Lots of pics warning*

    Figured I'd port this in from one of my private forums. Just wanted to have a publicly visible log of my project for friends/family to see. As this is ported, it may be dumbed down a little due to lower tech knowledge levels of those that it was originally targeted towards. Just keep that in...

    Must play games from the last 2-3 years?

    So due to school/work/life I've missed out on a lot of games the last few years, and I'm looking to hit up Steam for some of those "must-have" titles that I missed in their time. I have a preference for shooters, but there's others I have enjoyed in the past from other genres. I mostly just play...

    Warm deal if you needed to snag this today at a B&M. I'm really not aware of what you can get it for elsewhere B&M, I just saw it as $60 everywhere else. I was completely unaware of the GC w/ purchase and I even work there. From what I understand, It's $59.99 + tax = GC for spending $60...

There's still a lot I don't know, and a lot of stupid questions for me to ask...

    AHCI Driver for Win7 needed?

    Just wondering if the Intel storage driver is of any benefit vs. the included MS Win7 driver. I haven't toyed with 7 at all yet, so I figured I'd check whether it was worth messing with an F6 driver install or if I should just let 7 install the MS AHCI driver when the OS installs. edit- Just...

    Is using latex gloves when building a PC safe?

    Kind of an odd question, but I'm about to wrap up my 920 build and I was curious as to whether using latex gloves could harm PC parts during the build, like the GPU or motherboard. It's not vital that I use them, I just planned on taking a lot of pictures to show off the rig when I get done and...

    Modern Warfare 2 intro screen freeze and other issues

    Can someone point me to the IP35 Pro Bios for e8400's?

    Need the one that corrects the temp sensor issue. I had it downloaded to my desktop, but I must have placed it somewhere really stupid (so I would find it easy, isn't that how it goes?) or just deleted it on accident. I did see the IP35-E thread here, not sure if that's the same BIOS or not or...
