    Incorporating Computer Repair into our Business

    Ingram is the largest in the world but it seems like Tech-Data has better offering of brands? Like Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are offered by Tech-Data but not by Ingram. However; Ingram offers Abit but Tech-Data does not. Or am I missing something? Which is the smarter one to go with?

    Best rated and inexpensive watercooled case?

    I love the Mountain Mod cases. I was just wondering if there were less expensive versions. Be nice to buy a case that is already modded to fit a 3 120mm fan radiator. I'm not really looking for a case that comes with the water cooled parts. Just one that is already modded to fit water cooled...

    LCD and your eyes

    Makes sense yall. I think its combination of brighter light and the fact that i'm prolly crazy AND that i have a habit of leaning forward to look at screen. My old monitor was a 21" CRT my new one is 28" widescreen LCD. So the lcd is a LOT larger than my old monitor but i still have habit of...

    Windows OEM licensing..

    Piracy? I'm not encouraging that at all. I'm just saying that if you bought it then you should be able to use it on any system you own. But I do agree that people have abused MS over the years. I dont condone that at all. It hurts us all when people do that. Makes the prices higher and the rules...

    LCD and your eyes

    I remember reading a long time ago (before LCD's were out) that if you had your monitor set lower than 70hz refresh rate that it would hurt your eyes. That it would cause bad eye strain. I remember always getting headaches and blood shot eyes from looking at a monitor too long that was below the...

    Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" Monitor?

    Been using the Hanns 28" for a week now and it is great! The ONLY thing i see bad is that my desk has a raised platform for the monitor to sit on. And I'm kinda looking up at the monitor, so the top part of the screen is darker. It's annoying on games and dark graphics. If the monitor was eye...

    Windows OEM licensing..

    ? If you install it and it works and key stays valid, so what. What are they going to do? Come to your house to see if you have it on the correct computer? I hate how MS tries to dominate and control.

    Cool! Drama! (Grabbing popcorn!) heh, actually, I am going to have to buy vista 64 since I will be running 8gb of ram since I do graphic design, web design, animation, etc... Cant wait to see how Maya, PS, etc run with 8gb of ram! Rendering anything with fluid in it seems to take FOREVER on...

    8800GT's with 1GB

    I noticed 1GB versions of 8800GT's are starting to appear. Asus annonced theirs. And I saw a Palit 8800GT 1GB for sale. I've read discussions about how the increased memory may not be that beneficial and that there are no reviews or benchmarks on these cards yet. However, could it be worse than...

    Vista 64 vs XP 64 on drivers

    Which is the better OS to go with? Vista 64 or XP 64 when it comes to driver support? My common sense tells me Vista 64 since it is where everything is headed and seems like companies will have Vista 64 as a priority on developing drivers? Or am I missing something?
