    MFP Print/Scan/Fax 10/100 vs gigabit

    MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW I thought it gave a bigger starter cartridge but doesn't appear so. I didn't think it would make a difference, but it never hurts to ask. This is a home office and my entire house is run with cat 6 and gigabit switches. I also see that the 8950 has a touchscreen as...

    MFP Print/Scan/Fax 10/100 vs gigabit

    I was looking into a new MFP printer/scan/fax for my small office. One of the printers (100 dollars more) also includes a gigabit ethernet port on the printer. Is there any benefit to the gigabit for these functions? I am not printing large graphics, but mostly will be printing PDF documents...

    Mac mini help

    With the Server version I would also be losing two hard drives instead of the one 500gb one. I'd replace that with a 1tb that people are using in the mini's now. I the kit should be roughly 40 dollars or cheaper I believe.

    My E8400 seems fast enough, can't seem to justify an upgrade

    Does 2nd SDD need to be aligned?

    First SSD is working perfect. It is aligned correctly with windows 7. Today I installed my second SSD into the computer. Does this one get aligned as well? I did a quick format, but it is not aligned.

    I ordered two of these. Used the Bing 6% cashback as well for an addition $8.40 off the price for each one. I will probably just use these as extra drives as I am waiting on the Intel G2 for my main Windows 7 drive.

    Motherboard for Q9450

    Yeah I thought about the 9600 but I'm willing to bet he will be playing some games in the future after the computer is fully setup. He got the 8800gts 512 g92 evga card for 230 after rebate. Figured it was a decent price for him.

    Case didn't come with one, but I believe the one he has is a 500 watt phantom or something. On his older computer I even tried putting the MB outside the case and still wouldn't go. Was thinking of buying this Enermax EIN720AWT Infiniti 720W. Zipzoom has it with a 50 dollar rebate for a...

    I was waiting for the new 2407 to hit the streets. I don't know if it's a 6-bit or 8-bit though. I thought that one article mentioned dell dropping from 8 to 6 but that was not the US market and they were wondering if Dell was going to release an 8 bit one here instead. Either way I have to...

    Thats why I'm buying it at bestbuy. If I get a dead pixel. I'm taking it back and just saying I don't like it or whatever to get another one. I know some are acceptable but I am paying my hard earned money and I expect it to be perfect. Maybe I'm asking for too much but still.

    I like this monitor. I've been looking at it for a few days. I never owned an LCD before so dunno which direction to go in. 8ms response time is nice but I wonder why the new 245 has a lower response time of 6ms. I'd think Samsung would have lowered the response time to at least 6ms. The 214 has...
