    UPS (Battery) - Anyone use CyberPower CP1500PFC or similar models?

    The only UPS we trust with our equipment is APC. I've had every single UPC from other makers fail on me, when feeding it demanding equipment. To understand the scope I'm talking: 2-3 times a week our production UPS's are taken into new environments, with no idea how clean the power coming from...

    Call of duty fans .. come here

    I honestly think the purpose of multiplayer FPS on a console is to be arcade like, and for that, nothing beats Black Ops the original.

    2-80 gb ssd in raid 0 or 1-160gb, no raid

    You basically have the pc I'm looking to piece together in the next few days, How quite is that setup? since it's a pc in my bedroom, I was hoping it was naturally quite, if not, probably going to outfit it with some water cooling options.

    2-80 gb ssd in raid 0 or 1-160gb, no raid

    I'm building a new pc and I'm deciding if I want to use two intel x25-m 80gb drives in raid 0 (currently use raid 0 with a pair of 250gb normal drives) or just get one 160gb x25-m. I'm somewhat computer savvy but most times feel like the hassle of raid in the few machines I've built isn't worth...

    Silent or Near Silent Computer

    Yeah, I think I'll be waiting for the new video cards, and hoping they're quiet. As per the Corsair, it looks promising, but I may go for something rated even more quiet. I've built a number of machines through the years and each has gotten quieter. This one I'm aiming even lower. I cringe as I...

    Silent or Near Silent Computer

    I'm building a new computer in the next couple weeks based on the new i7 860 processor. With plans of a mild overclock I'm looking for two pieces of hardware that always create the most noise in my cases, the video card and power supply, that are near silent. However I still want something that...

    Hot! Hasselblad H3DII camera - $9,000 Instant Rebate

    I actually had my headshots taken by one of these... The photographer complained almost the entire session about how he hated the camera, and we had to pause a few times so he could get the connections to work. Just a little side note though :-).

    Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard

    I absolutely love this keyboard... my dongle broke though so I have to use a bluetooth adapter to get it to work on my htpc... a pretty regular problem. Other than that, I'm waiting for the mini to use with my ps3 and htpc in the living room.

    ECS 8800GT 512MB Fanless for $209.99 AR ($50) at Newegg

    What? You mean I can't play my games on my 40" LCD just because it's hooked up to my HTPC? Hmmm I guess I'll have to take back my 8800gt, my 4 gigs of ram, and my 3.0ghz c2d... Why did I think I could game with this crappy htpc.

    DEAD SimpleTech 1.5 TB Hi-Speed USB / eSATA-300 Duo Pro Drive External Hard Drive $68 + $8 shipping

    You people annoy me... Under your logic you could state the following: I take a girl home... she says yes she wants to have sex with me, but later says no. Under your logic I can rape her, because she has to honor the original agreement. What a joke. If the goods haven't passed, take it...

    Or you could just use down time at your existing work to enter them? Or you could even see it as fun, and enter during the downtime you would never use to work. If you mean to say, the countless hours you spend on Anandtech could have been used for work, you yourself could have made money...

    COMP USA going out of business.

    The last time I went into Bestbuy, I had to pull a couple aside to correct what they had just herd. I quote, from a manager no less: "Oh, well HDMI is a step up from 1080p. It's just a better investment, cause nothing uses it yet really, but soon everything will." Really? The couple was...

    Best Buy Ad Scans 12/16-12/22

    I guess I was dumb and lucky. Decided to buy a Wii one day walked into a store, bought a Wii and walked out. Maybe do your Christmas shopping earlier? Bought mine about 2 months ago. Why wait till December to get one, when you know consoles are hard to get this close to Christmas.

    Q6600@ 3.2ghz and 3.6ghz

    Well I buy a cheaper processor, and overclock it which results in: 1. More money for me to spend on loved ones. 2. My computer does work faster so I spend less time in front of the computer, and more time with the loved ones. 3. A hobby, that makes me a more well rounded person, so I have...

    I'm not sure what "in the DMZ" means. If it means I have to plug it into the cable modem directly, ugh that would be frustrating, seeing as I was hoping to fix the problem so I could control mine, and my roomates computers, which are on the network, while I'm away. I'm constantly asked to help...

    using msdos pinger, I ping my normal ip 69.**.**.230 and it times out. I also ping the same with :5810 (the port being forwarded to my computer) and that's not a valid address. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm following every instruction possible and I'm still getting nothing. Is there some sort of firewall that I'm not getting? I can't find one on my router, and I've tried installing both vnc and tversity on non-firewalled Windows XP machines and Vista machines to no avail. I know there's...

    Ok, I'm not an idiot. I know my way around a computer, but this is one thing that for some reason I can't figure out. So I have a Wii, and I've downloaded TVersity and I install it, go to my router and forward all the necessary ports to my computer's router ip, call it 192.168.0.4. Ok so I go to...

    I just bought a new case and sadly, my old OCZ power supply's 24p cable and that other 4p motherboard cable will not reach my motherboard. I really only need like 4" to be able to reach. I really didn't want to have to buy a whole new power supply, and I don't want to have to scrap this new...
