    Infinite Crisis

    There's another thread from 2013 that had no replies, and nothing else showed up on search. Anybody playing this? I'm interested in teaming up with some people, and getting better at playing the game. PM me if you're interested in doing so.

    Looking for a phone replacement

    My wife's Galaxy S3 has some weird dots showing on all pictures it takes, plus the battery life isn't what it used to be. We have T-Mobile, so no contract renewal period, etc. I'm trying to find a decent replacement for her without spending a lot of money. She's iffy on the LG G2 because...

    Wireless Rear Speakers?

    Looking to expand my home theater setup to go to 5.1 surround sound. I don't want to run wires for the rear speakers right now, so I'm interested in what wireless rear speakers are out there that are any good. I'm having a hard time finding anything decent. Any recommendations from the group?

    2-story Home Network Setup Questions

    I'm about to set forth in wiring my 2-story house for Ethernet. I have an attic and a crawlspace available, which I expect will make the wiring within a floor fairly straightforward. Rather than wire the entire house to a single switch, I was considering running cabling on each floor to their...

    Woke up to Black Screen - What to try with Video card before calling in for warranty?

    I woke up this morning and sat down at my computer, with no response. I knew it was running because my G510 keyboard had active information on the display. I tried a reboot, no luck. I hooked up the motherboard DVI output, and booted it up to see that Windows does not report the video card...

    Purchased a '98 //M Roadster this weekend (Now with Pics)

    After drooling over some Porsche 911s for far too long, I saw a Z3-style M Roadster come available in my area for less than half the price I would be paying for a 911. I fell in love with the Z3 body-style when I first saw one on the road circa spring of 1997, but never was much impressed with...

    Minix Neo X5 - Playing 1080p over Ethernet

    Anybody have experience with this? I just got a WDLive NAS drive and put some .mkvs on it that I ripped from Blu-Rays (1080p quality). Using the internal home media center app, I'm able to stream the movies with minimal stuttering over Ethernet in full 1080p (I assume this is coming through...

    Iphone4/HTC EVO V 4G (VM) vs. Iphone5/SGS3 (Cricket)

    I currently am a Virgin Mobile Beyond Talk customer. I wasn't very happy when VM pulled the fast one on changing their stance of keeping my rate locked in through phone upgrades. Also, I'm not overly impressed with the current data rate performance, but I'm not sure if that's a function of the...

    Best Virgin Mobile Smartphone?

    My current Virgin Mobile phone (Optimus V) is getting long in the tooth, and I'm ready for an upgrade. My wife and I both have the same phone and would be looking to upgrade together within the next month. We use our phones for some short video/still photos, minimal talk time, and mobile...

    Considering a used Porsche Purchase

    I've been looking at trading in my 2004 A4 and buying a late model 911. I thought I'd poll AT Garage posters to get some opinions and/or facts on a few questions I had. 1) I was originally interested in picking up an AWD variant, after loving the quattro of my A4 over the RWD of the...

    Replacement for a Roku Soundbridge M1001

    My Roku soundbridge just crapped out on me. I mainly used it for streaming digital music to the 5.1 Optical output over a wireless network connection to iTunes. I used this as a stand-alone unit, and liked having a built-in display which would allow you to choose what you were streaming, etc...

    Setting up home network - Looking for Advice

    I have had a very simplistic network setup in the house for a while. 3 separate PCs running a flavor of Vista or XP, 2 NAS devices and an Xbox 360. I want to take 1 of the PCs and use it as a server to get shared user accounts with matching permissions to the other 2 PCs (and any additional...

    Wifi + Powerline Link Aggregation

    I'm curious if there is an easy solution to combining a wireless link with an ethernet over powerline link for better bandwidth? I used to have a wireless bridge for use in the living room by the Blu-Ray, Xbox360, etc. but the wireless connection would cut out every so often, even though it...

    9700 Pro Color question

    Might sound like an odd question, but: Most 9700 Pro cards out there are Red. The only notable exception that I know of is the Tyan Tachyon which is blue. Is there a good place to find a listing of all the different PCB colors for the 9700 Pro? I'm hoping that there are more options than the...
