    Beach Bag for Canon 70D

    I'm going to heading to Turks & Caicos for my honeymoon in about a month. We're definitely going to be taking lots of pictures, but I know we'll have to be careful about sand getting into the camera or scratching the lens. Right now I have the 18-135mm lens, and may get a shorter lens...

    Honeymoon Ideas for June 2014

    We're getting married in early May, but I still haven't figured out exactly what we should do for our honeymoon. The tricky part, aside from needing to be somewhat conservative with vacation days, is that we also are trying to make a wedding in St John at the end of June. We'd like to be there...

    Syncing Multiple 360s

    Can all saved games/data be saved to the cloud, or is this done already? I want to have an xbox in the living room and one in the bedroom so if my girlfriend wants to watch some trashy tv I can go play in the bedroom. I don't want to have to keep separate saved games though, ideally I could...

    7970 Combusted

    Well specifically it seems like a capacitor blew. I turned on my computer after work and saw a fairly large flame coming off of my 7970, which had otherwise been running very well the past several weeks. The card is WC'd, but as it had been working fine for a while I'm not sure what could have...

    7970 Not Working after W/B Install

    So I decided to pick up 3 Sapphire 7970s along with EK blocks. I tested each card for a Heaven run to make sure it worked, then installed each block. After installation and setting up my loop the primary card doesn't work; it's not detected by Windows nor does plugging a monitor into it allow...

    Which 7970 for W/C

    I'm looking to purchase 3 7970s to put under water in the near future and was looking for recommendations. Naturally they'll have to be a reference board, unless there are full-cover blocks for the cards in question. Normally I would just think to get whatever reference card is cheapest, but I...

    MB Waterblock Screws: Washers?

    So I'm finally getting around to putting a waterblock (EK) on my X58 Classified, but I bought the block used and only got screws to attach it. I picked up new thermal pads of the appropriate sizes and the block seems to mount fine. Is it a problem that the screws are used directly on the...

    Firewire on Rampage IV Extreme w/ Trifire W/C

    I know that this MB doesn't come with a firewire port, but would a low-profile firewire card fit underneath trifired 7970's with water blocks? I have an mbox pro hooked up via firewire and use it as my primary sound driver as well, so I need to make sure I can handle the MB.

    Help me choose a sectional/corner couch

    I recently moved into Manhattan, where my current couches don't work with the layout of the apartment. I've been researching sectionals, and made a trip to Ikea over the weekend, but so far haven't truly committed to anything. I've also browsed several different online places but so far...

    How Much Rad For Trifire 6970 & 2600k

    I'm planning a build in the next month or so and my goal is to have a 2600k and 3x6970 all water cooled, likely in a MountainMods case (either Pinnacle 24 or U2-UFO Horizon...leaning towards the latter). How many radiators would I need to cool all of this, including the fact that I'd be OCing...

    P55-UD3L Won't Turn On With Any Overclock

    Using a 750W PCP&P PS that was working with my old build along with 4GB (2 sticks) on this MB with an i7 860. Whenever I increase the BCLK *at all*, when I restart the computer will briefly turn on, then power off. It will continue to do this by itself until I flip the switch off on the PS...

    XSPC Razor 4850X2

    So I see that XSPC has released a full cover water block for the 4850x2, which I am interested in. I am currently cooling mine with 2 MCW60s and some memory heatsinks. This setup isn't really ideal because I also need to have a PCI fan blowing on the video card, otherwise it will overheat when...

    DB Sync Utility

    Basically, I have my development DB on my machine at home, but my employer has his own DB with different data and such at his site that he uses to play around with updated builds of the app I'm writing for him. Sometimes, I need to modify a table or add/remove a stored procedure, and it's...

    XPSC RX120 - $40 ($60 regular) at Jab-Tech

    Linky Personally, I don't give a damn about the paint job if the screws line up perfectly. I'm about it working correctly, not showing it off to anyone, since, well, no one will see it but me :) Looking through, it seems this applies to all the RX radiators.

    New Watercooling Project in Lian-Li PC-A71B

    So for a long while I've wanted to attack a water cooling project, though I've never been able to. After reading all of the threads of Aigo getting people into this, and my desire to have a quieter (and more over-clockable) computer, I've decided to start planning out what I would do with my...

    Software to Copy/Merge DVDs

    I haven't had to do much work with DVDs, aside from ripping and encoding them on my own computer, so I'm not sure what the best software for this is. Basically my mom has a bunch of mini-DVDs (from a camcorder) that can be read in a normal DVD drive and she wants to be able to take a few of...

    Software Tweak to Automatically Resize Windows in Vista

    Is there an application that will automatically resize a window to fit the height of a monitor, preferably that integrates into the OS somehow? I could have sworn I've seen a utility around that would also let you do things like auto-size a couple windows to take up all the screen real estate...

    New HD Reset Port Error

    I just got 4 1TB WD discs from the Egg today and I was eager to install them. After putting them all in my case and wiring them up to the Intel controller (on a DFI LT X48 MB), I got "Port 00: Reset Port Error" message, and the disc won't show up in the Intel RAID Manager. I tried a different...

    Issue in Witcher Tutorial/Opening

    Maybe I'm an idiot (certainly not discounting this possibility), but when you get to the point in the tutorial where you're supposed to open the gate using the turnstile, how do you do it? Are you supposed to click on it? Some other key? I've tried clicking everywhere, with or without sword...

    Media PC Can No Longer See Shared Drive

    I had my MCE2005 machine working correctly via a wireless PCI card and through my router to access a shared folder on my main rig. All this seemed to be working correctly, even across restarting the computer (to automatically re-map the drive with the correct username/password); however, when...
