I feel embarrassed asking what seems to be such a rudimentary question, but I can't seem to find what I need/want.
I have a Norco 16-bay that has a SAS backplane with 4 SAS connectors (1 for each row of 4 hot-swap bays). I'm currently using two RAID cards, an Adaptec 5805 and the LSI card, that...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
VMWare ESXi host. I may even duplicate this to do testing and learn about multiple hosts (vMotion, etc.). I'll be installing on a 4GB USB drive.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
Under $1,000

I'm trying to help my brother over the phone. He has an unsigned driver that is not allowing him to boot into the OS. I told him to hit F8 during boot-up to get to the Advanced Boot Options, but he claims there is no option to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement. He...
My brain just aint working today. I need a query guru to help me out here if possible. I'm joining two tables (simple enough).
The first table is a list of bug requests (Table A), the second table contains custom field information (Table B).
If a bug request is entered, and the user...
Just got back from the Best Buy in Woodbridge, VA and they had a couple of Seagate Barracuda (7200.10 I think) 320GB SATA 3.0GB/s retail drives on the shelf for $50.99 each. They were marked as clearance.

I'm having problems with the first rig in my sig. A little background: I transport this SFF system back and forth to my brother's place about twice per month, and I carry it in the original SUGO box, so it's very well protected, and I've always been overy carefull when I move it around. However...
I'm moving to a new apt. I'll probably be in this apt. for about a year before I buy my first home. I need a computer desk and a computer chair (or two) that will last me. I do OK, but I'm not well off by any means, and I'll be even less so after I buy a home.
So, here's my thinking. I...
I have a Freedom Chair that was given to me that has a tear in the left armpad. Does anyone know where I could buy a replacement armpad for this chair? I've found the user's manual for the chair, and I know the armpad just popps off. According to the manual, they cost about $30, but I can't find...
My system was running fine, but I couldn't leave well enough alone. I changed my RAM timings (to slower timings actually), saved and rebooted. I haven't heard a beep since. I get no signal, no post, no nothing. It's the 3700+ system in my sig. The system does power on for about 10 - 15 seconds...
I have a strange problem with my new build. I power it on, but it only stays on for about 5 seconds and then powers down. I can't even get into the BIOS. I have...

Radio Shack has this deal, and the rebate is good for purchases made through 7/19. Shipping is free, but you'll probably have to pay about $5 tax because Radio Shack has a business presense everywhere. It's a Web only offer...
My nephew is building a PC for the first time and I have a spare Kingwin case and Antec power supply I'd like to give him to help with the cost. The power supply is an Antec TruePower 480 and it is listed as 22A on the single +12V rail. He will be running the following:

This is possibly a silly question, but here goes.
I basically use two PC's on a daily basis. One is mostly for work (although it can game pretty well), and the other is mostly for games and fun. I'm using a couple cheapy-cheap Microsoft optical mice, but I'm about to make things look a lot...
