I use godaddy for my domain registration and pay the extra bit for privacy. My domain expires next year and I'd like to renew but was wondering if there was anything cheaper since it's like $20/year basically ($10/domain, $10/privacy).

Lol. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so not sure if I really need anything too powerful, the IRIS graphics aren't great but they work okay for most games I've attempted so far. I prefer a PC much more than a MAC, so this could be interesting. I'll report back based on how this goes.

The Windows 7 I have is from Microcenter, one of their OEM's I think. Here's a question. I have a Mac Mini from late 2014 (http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/specs/, it's the $999 one, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB Fusion Drive, 2.8 GHz). If I were to install Bootcamp and install Windows 7 64-bit, would...

I'm open to buying it now, not an immediate need but if the price is good, might as well.

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. -- Chicago, IL (Curious why this matters) 6) Will you be overclocking? -- Nope 7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it? --1920x1200 (27" and 24") 8) When do you...

Stats: Coolermaster Centurion 5 | G-Skill 2x2 GB DDR2 800 RAM | Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L MB | Intel E6300 @ 2.8 Ghz | Nvidia GeForce GT 610 | Samsung 22x DVD Burner | 256 GB SSD and a few SATA HD's. Oh, sorry, I meant SATA HD's, not IDE HD's. Has anything really changed there? I'd like to...

Hah, okay, I'm open to that for sure. I'm thinking $500, what do you guys think that will get me? Can I put something together that is pretty good with that budget? I need everything new: Case, PSU, MB, RAM, Video Card, etc. Any suggestions on parts? Question... Are IDE hard...

I'm looking to get a new desktop computer, but I'm not sure if I should custom build it or if I should buy a fully completed one. I recently bought a 256 GB SSD hard drive but besides that the rest of my computer parts are around 2-5 years old. What do you guys suggest? Here's what I...

Thanks for the info everyone!

I have a computer that's about 6 years old, with the following components: Gigabyte G31M-ES2L motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3485#sp) 2x 2 GB RAM sticks for 4 GB (of which Windows 7 seems to recognize only 3 GB) CPU is Dual-Core E6300 at 2.8 GHz GeFroce...

Are there any good free softwares that will track where your URLs take you? i.e. It will tell you if you got 302'd somewhere (redirected) and give you status headers and such until you get to final destination.

I was curious as to how much faster the i3 and i5 are compared to the e6300 dual-core (2.8ghz)? let's assume similar GHz and such.

I need to replace my old DFI LanParty MB which I believe was Socket 939. My current CPU is a AMD64 X2 3800+. This is just a spare computer that I plan on using to watch movies (on a projector, so like an HTPC) and nothing else, I have one in my room that I use currently. I was thinking...

My buddy has an 8800 GTX video card and was considering getting another one for $60-70 to set up SLI. I was wondering if the performance gain from SLI with 2x 8800 GTX's would be considerably better than paying $150-200 for a new recent graphics card?

Yeah, thank you everyone for the links/resources. I've been reviewing them and it's really good information! :)
