Hey guys, I'd like to pick your brains a bit on a problem that I'm hoping to solve a little more elegantly in my app than the current solution. At the moment, users must select names from their contact list to send out a notification. Typically this notification will be sent out to a small...

Hey guys, quick question. I've been running the rig in my sig for a few years now and it's mostly been great, but recently there have been a few hiccups. Occasionally the power will just "blink" and instantly shut off the computer (it immediately restarts). I don't believe it is an issue...

Ok, so I'm trying to set up an SVN server on my NAS (DS212j) under Synology's diskstation software. I installed the SVN package from the package manager, seemed to install just fine. I run the package, it tells me to create a repository, which I do. And then.... nothing. I have no idea how to...

Hey all, I bought a Synology 212j recently, but I didn't grab any HDDs with it. It's a 2 bay NAS w/ 2 USB ports, so I'm looking to maximize the storage per drive, anything less than 3TB/drive isn't a long term solution for me. I scan Slickdeals every few days, but without spending all...

See title.... so frustrated at the moment. Looking to buy a NAS (Synology 2 bays), but I need some decent drives to go with it. Can't find a deal on anything anywhere that isn't expired or sold out. :(

So I haven't had a class involving Python in a semester, and after my latest reformat when I stopped on by their website, they've gone and released a new version! Obviously the folks at python.org are going to be a little biased, so I'd like to get [H]'s opinion. Which version of Python should...

Ok, so I'm currently installing windows 7 on my first SSD. I want to keep just apps and the OS on the SSD drive, and put everything else on my HDD to conserve space. So this is my question: how important is it to have the AppData folders for a program on an SSD when it comes to loading...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233125 $2.99 shipping. Figured I'd post this since someone made a thread about a Vertex 2 for the same price yesterday.

So I'm looking to buy a new hard drive on Black Friday this year (since that's usually the best day of the year to buy). I already have several TB in external storage, I prefer that for my media anyway, since I can plug it into other computers easily. So my main desire is speed. Startup...

A friend of mine just got an old 9800GX2 for cheap and I'm helping him put it in. However, he has a Dell XPS (yea yea), and the power supply doesn't have any 8 pin cables (the GX2 requires 1 6 pin and 1 8 pin). It says it's a 750W PSU, but I don't know how much I trust a Dell branded PSU. I'm...

The story: I've been playing a lot of Starcraft 2 Beta recently (along with a lot of my friends), and it's kind of giving me the itch to play more different games than I have been recently (I play WoW, and for a long time I didn't play anything but WoW and DotA). One of my WoW friends (we've...

Well I've had my GPU for a long time (7800 GTX), and I'm thinking I will be upgrading it shortly (mostly to play Bad Company 2, and Starcraft 2 and Diablo III in the future). I will be keeping the same loop I've had for a while (I believe it's in my sig, pretty typical Storm block and Laing D5...

As the title says, I'm upgrading my old 939 build to an AM3 build, but I'm keeping my Storm waterblock. I've run into a snag replacing the mounting plate though. I'm using this mounting kit: http://www.petrastechshop.com/swstam2upkit.html On this block...

Edit: see my most recent post, I have made the purchase and have an install question. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1033847582#post1033847582 I'm getting a new Phenom II soon, upgrading my old socket 939 X2. Currently I have a Swiftech Storm on the CPU. I've been out of the WC...

My sisters have 2 very similar Acer Aspire 5000 laptops, and they both have the same problem. The screen just falls over. :( These laptops aren't even 2 years old, bought off Newegg I believe. Hinges are still in place, there's just no friction at all, no force keeping the screen up. I've...

So I just set up this new computer for my brother, the motherboard is here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121323 (Yes it's micro ATX.) Everything's working (wasn't for a while, not replacing the hard drive or reinstalling windows screws up so much shit >_<)...

Hey, just a quick question, as I'm having no luck combing google for information on this. I have a 8 Mbit down DSL line from Bellsouth, but the router is limiting each computer to 1.5 Mbit down. Testmy.net gives me a solid 1.5 Mbit, and going over 200 KB/s is impossible, no matter how many...

http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/05/08/does-your-amd-based-computer-boot-after-installing-xp-sp3.aspx /sigh, just like the article says, moment I tried to install SP3 on my desktop, it started restarting infinitely the moment it got to the windows loading screen. Not...

Well recently I've been trying to get off this laptop and back to my desktop. I think my 7800 gtx is dead though. :/ It definitely has some visible damage from when I had some faulty barbs in my WC loop and got some leaks. I also couldn't get anything visible on the monitor after replacing...

So I happened to get a NB water block for my old DFI, but it broke before I used it. I'm just getting around to putting my new Asus board in and redoing my loop, and I was wondering what people thought of that heat pipe crap they do. Let's say I want to put the NB block on, do I have to...

Ok, so I was looking to buy an external, and I was all set to get this $135 +shipping Seagate 500GB, cause it was the best $/GB available in externals, and only stuff like the 500GB internal for $120 shipped beat it. Then all of a sudden I refresh the page and it's $110!!!! Obviously I hurried...

Ok, so my old mobo is dead, for various reasons. It was way too cheap to begin with, so I'm getting a totally new one. Not gonna upgrade my CPU and ram, so it's gotta be s939. This is what I had before: DFI nF4 Ultra-Infinity s939 (NF4-DAGF)...

So I haven't been around here much in over a year, mostly cause i finished my comp then. :P I'm getting the itch to upgrade it though, so I figured I'd come back to you guys and see what you could suggest. I WCed it back it the day (ok, like fall '05), and that was the first time I've WCed my...

Ok, I already have a good desktop, so this thing doesn't need to run UT2K7 or anything. I'm planning on spending ~$1000-1200 or less. I was looking at the Dell E1505. It's looking pretty d*mn nice. 1gb ram (must) x1400 256mb (yes i know it's only 128mb actual. but a dedicated video...

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3148784 now this is kind of odd. Kind of gives credence to Chris Morris's guess that it was delayed so that publishers could polish up the games.

Ok, I need to reformat an NTFS external hard drive (USB) into FAT32 so that Windows ME can access it. Currently, I can install "drivers" for the disk. It shows up (in device manager) in the "storage device" section as a "disk drive". I can choose to use "Disk Drive [6-8-2000]" or "USB Disk...

Hey y'all, I stumbled across this 17 page thread today: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=988663 "PS3: The downfall of Sony" Seeing as it has fallen to the realm of dead threads, I figured I'd start a new one. Yes, I read ALL 17 pages. I forgot to copy down the interesting posts...

So, which opterons turned out good and which bad? I didn't see a real thread where this info was all in one place, so I started one. Out of all your 144s, 146s, 148s, 165s, and 170s, what's your stepping/week #/etc and what OC did you get (and obviously which one)? (Voltage, multi, and temps...

Ok, my dad has an old HP Pavilion 6746C. Product site for it is here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&cc=us&docname=bph06042&product=57589&dlc=en&lang=en# And here's some more info form HP on it...

new mouse. I have a Microsoft Explorer (not sure if it's version 3 or 4, it has a clickable wheel and 4 other buttons). Should I get a new mouse? I was thinking of the Logitech MX518 or G7 (b/c of that newegg deal). Are wireless mouses good for gaming nowadays? Are the only extra buttons...

Hey guys. I was just wondering if any of you knew some updated information about the new WDDG "multi-game application" (basically emulator) called Ludmilla that is coming out soon. Obviously the most important game on their list is WoW. Their site is www.wddg-online.com but it's down at the...

Edit: Ok, let's make this easier for you to reply. Poll time! Choices are A, B, C, and D. A: Samsung 204T B: ViewSonic VP2000S C: Sceptre X20G-Naga II D: Other (please specify) Please vote at least! I'm going to purchase a 1600x1200 LCD soon, and I need advice on which one I should get...

I recently bought water cooling (storm (cpu block), MCR-220 (rad), MCW-55 (gpu block), MCRES-525 (res), MCP-655 (pump), and 7/16" masterkleer tubing). It's all installed and stuff, and I'm leak testing. I did the paper clip trick to start just the pump and it kind of sputtered, pumped a bit...

I can't get my computer to OC. I set it in the bios but no matter what it says in there (it DOES read it correctly after a reboot, for instance saying that the CPU frequency is at 1890 (210 fsb/HT link). But when I boot into windows, CPU-Z ALWAYS says 1809 (201 fsb). I have tried using clockgen...

Hey guys. I got a problem. I have a completely stable system that you see in my sig. But I couldn't OC (worked in bios but didn't transfer to windows), so I decided to update my bios. And this is where the stupidity begins. I downloaded the newest infinity bios (recommended for my board by...

What would you guys say to someone that says overclocking is stupid and gives little gain in performance and is dangerous and you'll break your components quick if you do? Obviously I don't think this, but some people in the dorm where I am think this and I was gonna go have a talk with him...
