    Am I being too paranoid about a HDD being shipped poorly?

    I ordered 2x 6TB WD Blue on Sat, and they arrived today. I didn't initially realize what the 2 boxes were, but, when I did, I said "you have to be kidding." The dude still has 2 more, so I might be able to swap them out, but I am checking here to see if I'm being too paranoid. I figure, even if...

    GTX 950 can't do 4:4:4 chroma @ 4k with more than one other monitor connected

    I'm at a loss. I just installed a 950 with the drivers from EVGA's website, and I have a Samsung JU6500. I've got a second 1200p monitor connected via DVI, and it doesn't matter if it's connected to the mobo port (it's a Haswell board) or to the video card's DVI port--if I connect a third...

    I think I own too much tech

    In my head, I have a use for everything, but I'm starting to think it's getting excessive... it's not to the point of hoarding, but I figured if this is really abnormal / over-the-top, this would be the place to ask (since a lot of us probably have more tech than the average person). Here's...

    Swap hard drives in work laptop?

    I've just received a long-term job offer that I'm likely to accept, but I'm trying to figure out what to ask for in my startup allotment (it's an academic job). I'm considering a request for a new Thinkpad to replace my personal T61 as my daily driver, but I'm sure that IT would lock it down...

    Need to decide tonight: Kia Forte vs Focus vs Mazda3 sedans

    Hey! I've been looking at replacement cars for my soon-to-be-dead 2000 Pontiac Grand Am (a car I love) for a couple of weeks now. My parents are bailing out my just-graduated-from-college self, and I've got a budget of about 17K to work with, not including taxes. I've test driven possible...

    Recommendation for used Verizon LTE phone?

    I was hoping to use my DX until the Galaxy S3 hits Verizon, but that plan may have been disrupted by Verizon's announced plans re: unlimited plans. I did a quick search, but I'm wondering if you could advise me about which temporary phone to get in order to switch to LTE without blowing my...

    Pentium M still adequate for surfing?

    I'm trying to find a cheap laptop for my g/f's mom (a novice computer user), and I'm eyeing a Thinkpad R52 or similar T-series from ebay (reliability is key). However, my R52 has been exclusively used as a DVR for OTA HD broadcasts for the past couple of years, so I have no clue if it's adequate...

    Highpoint 370/372 drivers NEEDED (2.34 or 2.35)

    Hi everyone! I mothballed an Epox 8k9a2+ a year or so ago after many instances of data corruption. I want to give it another shot using new Highpoint drivers for my Raid setup, but I can't find them either through Epox or Highpoint. I'm looking for version 2.34 or 2.35. If you have a copy...
