    Would you work for FuseTalk?

    If you have the opportunity, would you work at FuseTalk. Beyond the question of being able to charge thousands for what others give away (or charge a few hundreds for), I'm hoping people here might have some direct experience with the company.

    New monitor killing my eyes

    Yesterday I received two Philips Brilliance 240PW9EB. As soon as I started using them, my eyes started to hurt real bad. I spent time calibrating them (the default brightness is insanely high), but nothing I did really worked. Lowering the brightness a lot does help, but its still impossible to...

    NAS / UnRaid Build

    I'm looking to replace my WHS with something that has more capacity, and am thinking of building my own UnRaid (or something) machine. The thing will be sitting in a basement, so noise isn't a very big factor. for the HDD's I'd likely get a bunch of 1TB WD Greens for data and a 1TB WD Black...

    8800GT --> 4850 Worth It?

    Just curious if people think its worth it to go from an 8800GT (512mb) to a 4850 (512mb)? Is the 4870 worth an extra $100? It'd go with a core2 E8400 (not o/c) with 8gb of ram and 1680x1050 resolution. Everything I'm currently playing is running fine (so the obvious choice is to hold...

    recommended wolfdale vanilla mb

    I know it's hard to say without the processors yet, but was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a middle-of-the-line motherboard for wolfdale. No SLI, stable, possible light overclocking, good price.

    TEW-633GR and Latency

    Hello, I have a new TEW-633GR and corresponding TEW-623PI network adapter. Every couple minutes I'll get 5-10 seconds of major lag while gaming. The router is in the same room as my computer and no more than 7 feet away. My signal strength is always 90%+. If I connect directly to a LAN port, I...

    Title says it all. Should I build an HTPC around 1250 or wait for G35? Mostly used for playing back movings, playing music on the system and such.

    Custom Windows Home Server Machine

    I'm looking at putting together a custom windows home server machine. To me the biggest requirement are lower power (why waste money?), 1000mbps lan, 4 internal SATA drives. I was considering going with a barebone system, such one of the many offered by Asus like the ASUS P3-PH4C...

    New Build - I require your validation

    Thinking of buying two sister systems (one for me and one for my GF). The prices are in Canadian, which is slightly less than USD funds right now. Looking at buying everything from directcanada.com due to positive past experience. I'll probably play with mild overclocking, but nothing...
