    Dual Monitor Sleep Problems?

    Just upgraded to dual 2001fps from 2 17" LCDs, same video card, no driver updates. If I leave my computer for a bit, and turn both monitors off, upon my return the left hand monitor turns on and displays, but the right hand stays off. Both are connected via DVI, and the only fix I've found is...

    Just bought Simpsons S7

    So I was browsing around at my local Bestbuy earlier tonight, picking up some Xmas gifts and such, when I noticed on the shelves Simpsons Season 7. Now given there were no ads for it, and I had thought it was released next week. But I looked closer, and they had both the Marge-head and regular...

    The blue line

    Anybody else's blue line on top of the forums extending just a little too far? It's been bugging me for the whole day, and I decided to speak out on behalf of all those who hate that little scrollbar at the bottom of the screen.

    2004 Washington Auto Show

    So I'm going to the Washington Auto Show tomorrow and bringing my digital camera, and I'm planning on taking a bunch of pics. I figured I'd post on here seeing if anybody had any requests for any car pics - angles, engine bays, hi-res, etc. I'm planning on taking most of the pictures at 1mp...

    vnc via ssh

    I'm having a bit of trouble with understanding the steps required to tunnel vnc through ssh, and most all of the tutorials assume either a windows/linux interface or a router/lan. Basically, I want to connect to my windows box via vnc from any other computer. I'm at an edu, and thus I have a...

    YACAT: Replacing speakers

    Having blown both my front speakers, and putting off replacing them for awhile, I finally grabbed some replacements and decided to try to install them myself. However, I've run into a problem before I even start. I can't seem to remove the grilles for the speaker, so I turn here to see if...

    Poll: How do you read magazines?

    For as long as I can remember, with my 2 steady subscriptions to Sports Illustrated and Time, I've been reading them back to front. After getting my first three issues of FHM, Maxim, and Stuff, I've come to the realization that it is basically impossible to try to read them back to front...

    Calculator in XP

    This is sort of a weird thing, but its beginning to annoy me slightly. My MS Keyboard has the buttons on it for my comp, calculator, mail, web, and etc, though the only one I use is the Calculator. In Win2k, when I used it, it popped up 1, and thereafter whenever I pressed it, would just bring...

    Looking for a Server Case

    I've been looking around a ton, but I haven't had much luck finding the sort of case I'm in the market for, so I'm turning here for suggestions. Basically, I'm looking for a -somewhat- low profile (would prefer it to be wider than taller) server case with room for atleast 5-6 IDE hard drives...

    Random reboot question

    I've been having some trouble with my new computer, and its really starting to bother me. I'm running the ASUS P4S533, a P4 2.26ghz, and 512mb of Corsair XMS PC2700 (1 module). I've been plagued by random reboots, I'd be doing anything, or even nothing, and the computer would reboot like...

    Dual PSU/RAID Question (Hypothetical in nature)

    This is more of a hypothetical question at the moment, but I'm simply curious, and I couldn't find any sort of mention about this. Say you wanted to run a 10hd RAID 0+1 array (perhaps with the new 200gb WD hds :D)... what sort of other hardware configuration would one need to have the ability...

    Thermal Grease

    I've just got a quick question about Arctic Silver 3. I recently got a P4 2.26ghz and am just using the stock heatsink. My mobo's IDE channel was bad, so I had to RMA the board and take out the heatsink and proc. Its been sitting in the plastic box for a bit less than a week now, with the...

    CD-ROM support on boot

    I apologize if this question's been answered before, but I've looked around and I can't seem to find anything that might help me. Basically, this is the situation: I purchased some components to build my own system (specifics later) and now that I've got everything connected (from what I can...
