    Anyone here own a decent air purifier? Looking for recommendations.

    I'm not talking about those cheap Holmes units that you would buy at Target that don't do an effective job and eat you up in replacement filter costs. I'm talking about something decent from Alen, IQAir, Blueair, Sharp, Winix, etc. I have bad allergies every spring, and I'm tired of everything...

    Experienced OCers: help me optimize my overclock (i7 920 + P6T Deluxe)

    I very rarely visit this subforum, but I decided it was time to ask you guys for some help. I've been running my sig rig for well over a year now, and at one point I decided to try my hand at overclocking. Overclocking on the X58 chipset seemed a lot more complex than on my previous Socket...

    Why are Jeep Wranglers so expensive?

    So I miss having a convertible, but all of the ones I'd want are RWD which would suck for a couple of months out of the year here in VA. I have always kind of liked Wranglers for their rugged look, and the idea of being able to have an open top combined with 4WD is appealing since I could...

    VirtualBox vs. VMware Player for home use and light business testing?

    I posted this on another forum but didn't get many replies. When I did a search here, I found one thread but it was a few months old an in the *nix forum so I wondered if you guys could shed any additional insight. When running a VM in years past, I've typically gone with MS Virtual XP...

    Post fun things to do in Saint's Row 2

    I have an 86% completion and have done all of the missions except for the last Ultor strongold (can't seem to enter the mission?) and I've done most of the activities. Unlike GTA4 where I got annoyed with the responsibility of keeping all of my friends occupied even after the final mission, I...

    BFG GTX 280 OC2 for $237.99 @ Buy.com

    Link IMO, hot if you missed out on the eVGA GTX 280s before the prices went back up. This one has a higher clocked GPU than either of the eVGA cards, but it also costs a bit more. Still, $238 isn't bad for a factory overclocked 280! It just seems like less of a deal because everyone...

    37" Westy LVM-37W3SE 1080p $549 + possibly free shipping at onSale

    Saw this posted on another forum; I know several places are selling these but this could be at least as hot as the other ones due to the free wall mount (if you're willing to deal with the rebates). Text Link to wall mount ($89 value free AR) You get up to a $40 rebate on the shipping...

    So I was bored and decided to (finally) overclock my E6600

    I've never overclocked, and bought the C2D several months ago in part because they are so fast at stock speeds and easily overclocked. I had to restart my PC last night and hit Del to check things out in my BIOS (I recently flashed my P5B Deluxe to the latest version and wanted to see what...

    Indiana Jones 4?

    I am so looking forward to this, and can only hope it doesn't disappoint. I know Ford is getting up there in age, but he's still a damn good actor. A friend at work told me that Spielberg and Lucas are both involved in this, so it's possible that it could be amazing...or it could be an...

    How do you read quickly AND retain what you've read?

    I used to enjoy reading a lot when I was younger, but have pretty much stopped reading everything besides magazines and stuff on websites since high school. It's not that I don't enjoy what I'm reading, it's just that it seems like it takes me so long to read anything effectively. I dreaded my...

    Anyone here use Bank of America's Keep the Change program?

    Seems like an easy way to save some extra money. For those not familiar, this is the program where you open a checking account with them and when you make a purchase using your debit/check card they automatically round the purchase up to the nearest dollar and deposit that amount into your...

    Looking at a Glock 19 or Sig 226 as my first semiauto

    So the GF and I just finished our gun safety class and I want something that I can take to the range that won't make my wallet too light if I want to do a lot of practicing. After looking on various forums and websites I've narrowed it down to the Glock and the Sig, though I'm not 100% set on...

    Anyone going to get an XBOX 360 Elite?

    I know there are quite a few console gamers here so I'm surprised there hasn't been a thread on this yet. Supposedly it runs cooler than the current models and I think the black looks nice. The HDMI is pretty nice but supposedly HDMI and a 120GB hard drive will be standard on the Premium...

    How to create an email signature in Outlook Web Access (Exchange 2000)

    Our director of Pharmacy has a mailbox on our Exchange 2003 server and we know how to create a signature for use with Outlook and OWA 2003. However, he uses an older version of OWA to correspond with another company. Apparently they are still using Exchange 2000 and he wants to be able to...

    Question about my 4GB of RAM

    I'm running XP Pro and I know that a 32-bit OS won't utilize all 4GB, but I thought it would at least count all 4096 MB upon the system boot...however it only shows 3008 MB. I thought at first that I might have had a bad module or hadn't seated one of them correctly, but I ran CPU-Z and sure...

    Bought the Sharp AQUOS LC-32GP1U **UPDATED**

    So my 37" Westy is sitting still sealed in its box behind me. I bought it due to all the hype it has received lately and because it was only $250 more than the 24" BenQ that I originally wanted. However, after I placed the order I began to worry that a 37" monitor might be a bit too large for...

    Anyone else here running the Silverstone OP650?

    When I recently built my new rig I was pretty set on getting one of the Corsair PSUs that everyone is raving about. And rightly so. I scored my mobo/CPU/RAM/hsf from a member of another forum and only needed a few other odds and ends, including a PSU. I had been reading the reviews on...

    BitTorrent killing my network connection

    Got my new rig built on Saturday and everything has been awesome for the most part...but for some reason I've been experiencing some network issues and would like to find out what's causing this to happen. I've always used Azureus for my torrent needs but decided to try uTorrent since it...

    Question about SATA optical drives and P5W DH Deluxe

    OK, I finally picked up a P5W DH Deluxe/E6600 and would like to get a SATA DVDRW for this build. I've heard good things about the LiteOn drives but a review on Newegg says that the 20x LiteOn SATA drive doesn't work with the ICH7R chipset. Supposedly it will read and burn CDs but not burn...

    Help me decide on RAM for my next build

    So I'm deciding on parts for my upcoming build and would like some help picking some memory that will be both fast and (obviously) compatible. I'm planning on purchasing either an E6600 and pairing it with either the P5B Deluxe or P5W DH Deluxe. Still trying to decide on the best way to go...

    Suggestion for the For Sale/Trade forum

    I really like the FS/T forum, but it is absolutely HUGE and due to all of the threads being in one place, even browsing a day's worth of topics can take quite a bit of time. Has anyone ever suggested separating the "WTB" threads from the "FS" threads? Most of us are either looking to sell OR...

    2GB or 4GB for my next build?

    I was looking at the G.Skill and Geil 4GB kits on Newegg and can't decide if it's worth it. I'll be building a C2D rig soon and will probably be seeking advice on various component choices. My dilemma right now is deciding if I should go ahead and get 4GB in anticipation of Vista and future...

    Annoying!! Firefox not retaining window size upon restart...

    Firefox used to default to fullscreen when I opened it, but now it opens in a window and I have to maximize it. I know, not a big deal, but if you launch it a few times an hour it gets annoying. Is there any way to fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? I'm running quite a...

    Thermaltake Big Typhoon or something else?

    I just picked up a new 4400+ for $250. Was going to wait for Conroe but I couldn't pass this up. I might still go Conroe for my main system and have the X2 as a media PC or something. Anyway, I haven't kept up with the latest batch of CPU coolers and I'm interested in something with a...

    Is there any point in NOT going dual core right now?

    OK, here's the deal. I've got an aging (by our standards) 3400+/1GB/X800XT system that is going to receive an upgrade shortly. I have been really impressed by the longevity of this system, because as long as I don't max out the AA/AF settings in today's games I can run just about everything...

    350Z vs STi

    So last week I just scored a new job as Network Systems Administrator where I work and I'm already getting new car fever. I probably won't buy anything until after this winter, but I can't imagine being able to wait much longer than that. I know both of them have their pros and cons, but...

    Best app(s) for WinXP desktop shell replacement & enhancement?

    I've never really tried any software of this kind, but would like to as the default XP layout is growing a bit old. I would like some advice on seperating the best from the rest. BTW, I should mention that the most important features to me are stability, functionality, and speed. I don't...

    Question re: Cisco routers (specifically the 1900/2900 series)

    I was told that there might be a command to enable the router to accept prefixes when assigning ip addresses to interfaces and the like. I think it would be a neat shortcut and would like to know if there is a way to do it. To clarify, I want to be able to type: int fa0/0 --> ip address...

    Ordering weed online... Now I have seen it all.

    I've seen sites where you can order seeds if you want to grow, but having the actual nugs delivered to your home just beats anything I've ever seen. I know in CA they have "cannabis clubs" where you can be a member and go pick up various strains, brownies, etc. and in NY they have a delivery...

    Who would YOU have voted back on The Contender?

    I thought it was funny that everyone voted for Manfredo or Reid...Ahmed didn't get a single vote. :laugh: That guy was a grade A jackass. Manfredo is a good fighter but I thought Reid deserved another shot. I think he was one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) fighters on the show though...

    Anyone here frequent OffTopic.com?

    First, let me make one thing clear. I'm not a total forum junkie, i.e. I don't spend all day on them and I don't obsess over having a 70k post count. However, I am a member of several forums and usually just surf them when I'm at work to pass the time. I was introduced to offtopic.com...

    Help with RMA on a PNY 6800 GT...

    OK, here's the deal. Last week I arranged a trade with someone on the FS/FT forums. We agreed that I would trade him my PNY 6800 GT + PayPal for his X800 XT. Since we both had good Heat, we cross-shipped the cards. We both shipped USPS Priority Mail with insurance and Delivery Confirmation...

    Best sites for case mods (fans, cathodes, etc.)?

    My Lian-Li PC-6077 just arrived yesterday and I want to order some additions for it. I definitely want to get some 80mm LED fans, and I might get the windowed side panel and some more cold cathodes as well (I already have 1 blue one). I also want to get the EX-23 hard drive bay/cooling...

    Will this hard drive config work OK on my Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR?

    I read through the "Unofficial" thread for this board and it seemed like some people were having problems with the Promise controller. I currently have mine disabled b/c I'm not using it; I have a 74GB Raptor on one of the nVidia SATA ports (the other one is empty) and I am using both of the...

    Thoughts about running multiple firewalls

    With some programs, like adware/spyware scanners or even registry cleaners, it can be a good idea to run multiple programs because each one works slightly differently and one program might catch something that another one didn't. With other programs, like anti-virus programs, this can be a...

    Weird problem with the onboard LAN of my Soltek NForce3 250 board

    OK here's the deal...I have a home network set up with a Netgear wireless router which my PC is connected to, and another computer that I put a Netgear wireless G card in to prevent having to run the CAT5. Well, the Netgear wireless card had some weird issue that caused the other computer to...

    Hard drive mounting -- horizontal vs. vertical -- does it matter which method from a reliability standpoint?

    I remember reading somewhere that hard drives that were mounted horizontally (flat) tended to have higher reliability than those mounted in a vertical fashion (on their side). Something about the vertical mount putting more strain on the read head or the motor.. Is there any truth to this? Is...

    Oh man, I screwed up big time. Is there any way to UNDO a mistake in FDISK?

    OK, so my new Seagate 200GB hard drive came in yesterday. I decided to go ahead and set it up last night as additional storage. My primary drive is a 250 GB Maxtor. So I use a boot disk to boot into DOS and run FDISK, thinking I'll just create a couple of partitions on the Seagate drive...
