I have a wifi deadzone in my house where the signal is very weak. The whole house is wired up with cat 6 cable, including the bedroom where the deadzone is.
Ideally I'd like to be able to extend the wifi network such that there is a seamless transition when moving between rooms, without the...
TLDR version:
- 39" Seiki 4K monitor for desktop work (screen real estate is awesome for multiple docs / pdfs / music scoring). Can never use a smaller monitor again.
- Don't really game much on PC but Civ BE is tolerable, WoW at 30Hz makes my eyes want to bleed.
- Getting a 40" Philips...
I guess most who would want this would already have it, but for the rest, $25 is a pretty good price. I had a blast with Horizon 2 and was planning on picking it up, so this is an additional bonus.
[Couldn't quite figure out where to post this but I guess console gaming should be right]
Currently most of my game time happens late at night when everyone else in the house has gone to bed, so I either play with the sound on mute or at such a low volume it might as well be on mute. Looking...
Anyone have any experience with these? Amazon says list price $249.95, though camelcamelcamel tells me they have been $80 recently but $60 seems like a decent price to pay for premium-ish headphones with leather ear pads.

Picked up a Seiki 39" 4K monitor a while back, so figured its time to get a new setup which can hopefully last a few years and can support gaming at 4K. Haven't been following the different iterations of processors / graphics cards etc so am somewhat lost..
1) What will you be doing with this...
Lost my beloved UE Triple.fi 10s (left them in the back seat pocket of a plane, boo), tried out a couple of other options but finally bit the bullet on a pair of UE 900s after finding a killer deal so don't need these anymore. Paypal only please, but non-personal payment is fine. Both are in...
Says up to 70% off selected Netgear networking equipment, but I guess 15% off the Nighthawk is a decent price. 5 port gigabit switch is $29.99, $19.99 after $10 MIR...
Have been poking around eBay but nothing quite catches the eye. No gaming so don't need ultra fast response time and what-not. Wondering if [H]-ers would recommend anything, or should I just bite the bullet and go with the U3014?
Anyone go from an LTE plan to no LTE for whatever reason? Can you deal with the decreased speeds? Am vaguely toying with the idea of picking up a Japanese Android phone. Sharp and Fujitsu make the most awesome phones, but for some strange reason they are locked such that the LTE radio is...
Pretty good deal if you're in the market for one or looking for Christmas presents.

Hello,
Have a question on home networking setup that I need help with. I'm trying to create two separate networks (not sure if that is the correct terminology but bear with me here) at home - one for regular use - all my computers, network shares etc will be on here, and one for VPN specific...
Title says it all, really. The smaller weight and increased portability of the Mini will probably encourage me to bring it out more, but I can't help thinking I'll miss the bigger screen on the Air. Anyone successfully transitioned to the previous generation mini from a full sized iPad and what...
I had one of the original first gen ones and wasn't terribly impressed, but the new HDX versions look very nice. At 10 oz and 13 oz (7" and 8.9") they're pretty lightweight, screen resolution has seen a huge bump and battery life beats the crap out of similar tablets. How has the Amazon Kindle...
Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I'm looking for someone to do a quick and dirty job to write a couple of webapps. Nothing very complicated, just to take one or two yes/no inputs from users (no more than 10) and allowing an admin to harvest that data or for users to log in and...
Okay, so I have a 3-pack copy of Windows 7, installed on - my gaming box, bootcamp on my MBP and on parallels. I've just finished collecting parts for a new gaming build (yay!) and am going to wipe the hard disk on my current gaming box and install Windows 7 on my new box. Except, for the life...
You know, the one from /that/ [H]ot Deal a couple of weeks back. Picked up one but decided I'd like two to RAID just for the hell of it.
Will pay $160 shipped, which is what everyone else in FS/T was selling theirs for plus a small premium...
My current home network consists of 2 Airport Extreme base stations hooked up to each other which sorta kinda works fine, but isn't all that reliable when streaming HD video. I'm moving into a new place early next year, so I figured that this would be a good chance to set up a wired network (and...
Is it possible for a server to grab a video/audio stream and re-stream it? If so, what software would need to be running on the server and where can I go to find some material to read up? I have no idea what this process is even called so am in a bit of a pickle... Thanks!
Anyone have experience working with Acrobat know how to do this? I have a manual-type document that has about a zillion chapters, each chapter in its own PDF. I want to merge them all into one single unified PDF and add a table of contents in the front, which will allow me to jump to whichever...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Primarily, gaming at 2560 x 1440. Nothing else.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
About $500 would be nice.
3) Where do you live?
Singapore, but its irrelevant because I can order off the...
Plain vanilla RAM, no longer available on Newegg but here's the Amazon link. Brand new in box, bought for an i7 build that never happened because 27" iMacs showed up.
$100 shipped worldwide, paypal personal only please.

For the brave few souls among us who exercise, www.shopadidas.com is having a 30% off all items sale. Applies to items already marked down (in the outlet) so works out to pretty decent prices for some of their stuff. Enter promo code BATON at checkout.
NOTE THAT THESE ARE GEN 1 DRIVES AND NOT THEM NEW-FANGLED GEN2s.
But I did my research and concluded that the performance was 95% of the Gen 2, so I went with these instead.
Picked these up off eBay (Refurb I believe, was a [H]ot Deal a coupla weeks/months back) for a new project that I never...

Everything on their site is $9 in honor of 09/09/09. When I was younger I wore a lot of their stuff, now not so much so depends if their style is your thing.. Usual price is usually $10-$15.
Cliffs because I'm not really in the mood for a long story...
Budget - $400, give or take. Would prefer less if I can get away with it!
OS drive, games, apps, the usual. Hoping for minimum 120GB, but read on for more options!
Option 1: 120GB Vertex (~$350)
Option 2: 2 x 60GB Vertexes...
Am mightily, mightily tempted to pick up an SSD. While 120GBs are within the realm of affordability, I was thinking if I could skimp and get by on a 60GB one instead, I don't have an awful lot of programmes that are absolute must haves, but I do have a fair number of games.
Should I just grab...
I've been steadily growing my bluray movie collection, and I think it has reached 'critical mass' such that for various reasons, I'd like a backup copy on a hard drive somewhere. I only have one bluray drive, so having a x264 rip would be convenient for watching them elsewhere, plus I could...
... and is the convenience it brings worth $99?
In the grand scheme of things it works out to something like 30 cents a day, but I'm wondering if I even should pay for such a service given that gmail, picasa and any number of free alternatives exist, albeit in different places while mobileme...
Like quite a lot of people around these parts, I will be jumping to Windows 7 as soon as its available (going to get mine off Technet, yay). I will be taking the opportunity, with a new OS install, to upgrade my trusty but rather long in the tooth WD740ADFD. It has served me well these past 3...
I'm currently using a AIO laser, shared between 5 different users on a LAN. It isn't a network capable model, but at the time of purchase I was led to believe so, and instead of having an on-board network card I was given a 'print server' which enabled me to share the printer over the network...
Nothing much else to add really, my version is with service pack 1 from Amazon. Bought it for some project that never really happened, so its been sitting around still in the shrink wrap. $80 paypal from my door to yours. Heat is under elleana.
Back story:
I live in a largish old house made of stone/concrete, so a wireless signal from one end of the house (conveniently, where my cable comes in) has no chance of reaching the other end of the house reliably. For the past couple of years, I've been using Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 access points...
This is mostly a thought experiment at the moment, but am interested to see if its possible. A search for the above terms didn't yield many interesting threads so am posting up to pick brains.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
It will mainly serve...
