    Need suggestions for making CD for daughter to wake up to

    I used to listen to Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory, which starts out "Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head..." I also hooked up my cassette player/alarm clock to wind a string that would (through a few pulleys) turn my light switch on. I would suggest getting an alarm clock that slowly...

    HASP USB Drive?

    yeah, that was my origianl thought when I saw it and why I wrote down the info and searched it on the internet. Luckily, it does not seem to be a key logger. I guess I will just call IT and and see if I can explain it well enough that they will know what I am talking about and if they want it back.

    HASP USB Drive?

    :) thanks for the offer. I can call, I was just hoping to know whether or not I needed to since I am not looking forward to traking down whoever I need to over at IT only to have them tell me it needs to stay in. So I figured I would post here to see if anyone has dealt with HASP.

    HASP USB Drive?

    Hello, I have a quick question about a HASP USB drive. I was setting up a printer for one of our work computers and noticed a weird USB drive connected to the back. Not knowing what it was I wrote down the lettering on it and did a quick internet search. It turns out it is a HASP USB drive...

    Static Noise with sound

    Thanks for the replies. Paperdoc, only the speaker input is connected to the input jacks on the back of the case and there are no audio cables connected to the MB from anything except the front panel. Electric Amish, I moved my USB reciever to several different ports (even the front of the...

    Static Noise with sound

    Hey, I am having an issue with my motherboard?s built in audio and I am wondering what I should try to do in order to fix it. I have an IP35 pro motherboard and an Antec 900 case. I have crappy speakers (~$40) but really nice headphones ($299 ? Bose). There is a constant static and when I move...

    $80K Server/PC System

    Hey guys, Thanks for all of the responses. I feel a little better about things, but I will try and get an exact list of what parts are in the server and PCs and how much the software/service contract cost. I am on vacation this week but I will try and get the info when I get back. Cubby...

    $80K Server/PC System

    It bought 8 workstations (the PCs mentioned above) each with a 22" monitor and the server. It is kind of hard to quantify since the companies software and service contract are covered in the $80k (I believe it is a 3 year contract), but it was supposed to be top of the line stuff and it does not...

    $80K Server/PC System

    Ahh crap?I figured. Could you possibly elaborate though? What would a good server consist of? Should we have 4Gb of RAM? Also, would there be a difference using the DVI cables? Thanks Mike

    $80K Server/PC System

    Hi, I have a question regarding the server system our agency just had installed. Here is a bit of the background: I work in a forensic lab and we use a software program that monitors the digital images we capture of evidence, essentially creating a chain of custody for use in court. We just...

    ----------THE OFFICIAL CURRENTLY PLAYING THREAD------------

    Star Wars: Forces Unleashed?I keep playing the new trailer (webdoc3)?does that count? (The crap part is I just spent all of my money on building a PC and now I will be forced to save for a next gen console?I guess I will be able to play Mass Effect then, which I REALLY REALLY want to play.)...

    Ever have one of those "holy sh*t! that scared the hell outta me! moments in a game?

    Wow great thread! I am glad to see I am not the only one who screams like a 10-year-old girl because of a video game. I would have to go with the FEAR Ladder in the demo. I must have shat my pants and unloaded 3 clips into that girl, still shooting after she vanished. I only played the demo...

    e8400 gaming rig help/critique

    Corsair HX520 69AR B&M 75AR Shipped**OOS**

    Thanks OP! I have been watching for the 520hx since September and the best I have seen was $99 with a $20 MIR...but I cannot remember if there was shipping on that. For the last few months the lowest it has dropped to was $90 (after MIRs and Shipping). So I put an order in for one and hope it...

    First time builder looking for help.

    Thanks for the suggestions DSF, greengrass, and pallidium. I will have to look into the CPUs suggested. I was looking into the Quad because I was worried future games and programs would start utilizing more cores once they become standard. As for the GPU, I was leaning toward the GT, I just...

    First time builder looking for help.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming (Crysis, World in Conflict, Orange Box, etc.), surfing, movies and music. 2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread ~$1400 but anything lower...

    Smoking Hot IP35 Pro 135

    Chunkee I learned to stop using the term ?Fairy Future Proof? when I was 7:) But as far as I know the Fairy that comes with this board should live a few years (as long as you say ?I believe in Fairies!? every month or so). As far as the looks and attitude of the Fairy that you get, well she is...

    Antec 900 with a 520hx...problem??

    Glad to hear it should be fine upside down since I really want the 520hx. I didn't even think of cable length being a problem. I will have to check into the VX550 vs HX520 cable length and hopefully the 520 is just as long. Thanks for the info. Mike

    Does anyone use the HT Omega Claro series?

    Well I figured out HL was for http://www.hardwarelogic.com/ but the review was for the MB (a nice review of the P35C DS3R) not the Claro...sorry. If I find anything else on the Claro I will post a link. Hopefully more people out there with a sound card will add to this thread. mike
