So, I just bought an unlocked BB Bold from NewEgg and have a few questions. First, can I use it without a BB data plan (voice only, no data or text) for a couple weeks? I was planning on making some changes to my plan (add family, change base minutes, etc.) the middle of February and I'd...

I've got a bunch of stuff here that I'm not using and I'd like to see how much of it I can move before my wedding in just under 3 weeks. Prices are with the pictures at the bottom. First up, I've got a Linksys WIP330 VoIP phone that I'm not using and can't return. It's about as close to NIB...

You should really have http://www.hardforum.com/index.php 301'd to http://www.hardforum.com (or vice-versa). You've got the PR split between the two at the moment.

I just upgraded to the Dell Inspiron 910 so I no longer need my eeePC. The model for sale is the 4G surf (no web cam). It has been upgraded to 2GB of RAM, includes the kernel support for all 2GB of RAM, and has a script in the home directory to make the CPU run at the full 900MHz rather than...

I've got two unopened OEM copies of Windows Server that have been sitting here for more than a year that I'm not using. One is Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 and the other is Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server Premium. I'd like to get $300 for the Standard x64 copy and $450 for...

Some time last night 2 of the 6 drives in my RAID 5 array failed. When I noticed that the system was offline I turned it off and back on and they started clicking and two showed up as unavailable when the RAID BIOS loaded. I'm not sure if they both failed at the same time but 3DM2 didn't get...

The screen on my eeePC is too small... Anyone else buy one of these this morning? If so, what options did you pick? I went with the Windows XP model (1GB RAM, 16GB SSD, Bluetooth, 1.3MP webcam, black) because it turned out to be $30 cheaper if you added all the options that that model comes...

I've got two Xeon E5430 processors that I bought for a server upgrade. Unfortunately, despite what I read, it seems that my servers don't support 54xx Xeon processors (must have an old mobo revision or something). Anyway, my loss is your gain. These processors are about $500 at retail and...

I'm planning on ordering a Dell Latitude E4200 as soon as it comes out the middle of next month (at least, that's what my Dell rep says) but I've got a question that I wonder if anyone here can help me with. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop_latitude_e4200...

I've got an Intel Quad-Port PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter that I bought for my storage box at home, only to find out that the system's only PCI-e slot wider than x1 was filled by my storage controller (this NIC is an x4 card). The part number on the card is EXPI9404PTBLK, meaning that it does...

Has anyone seen USB drives that are the same size as the Bluetooth adapter at the link below? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833242003 I don't need a lot of capacity, 1-2GB would be fine, but I need to be able to get it into the front USB port on a Dell PE2900 and...

I've got an Intel Quad-Port PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter that I bought for my storage box at home, only to find out that the system's only PCI-e slot wider than 1x was filled by my storage controller. I missed out on the return period by a couple days because I was busy with wedding planning...

I'm currently having some bandwidth issues at work and haven't been able to track down what machine (read: user) is the problem. Can anyone suggest an app that I can stick on a machine with two network cards sitting between my router and switches? I've got an extra Windows box sitting here...

Is this still active? I ask because I rolled over 500K since 11/1/06 earlier this week and sent a PM to p[H]ant0m as directed (AtomicMoose appears to be banned) but haven't heard back yet.

I just got a TiVo Series 3 hooked up today and I'm currently running the audio output (decoded to PCM by the TiVo) from the SPDIF Output to the Input on the X-Meridian in my HTPC. That said, the volume level really isn't very high and I'd like to do something about it. Is there any way to...

I'm not a Flash guy but we have a need for a Flash app here at work and we're having a real problem that is holding everything up. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to read in data that was POSTed to the page that the flash applet is on?

So, I've been ripping and reencoding my DVDs to XviD for play on my HTPC but I'm really not happy with the output quality. I've been using AutoGK and setting the quality to "100". I've tried DivX 6.3 but all that did was increase the file size and decrease the quality. Does anyone have any...

I'm going to be moving my forums to a new server and was planning on picking up one of the MONSTER boxes from The Planet. The question floating around is whether I should go with RAID 5 or 10. My experience with RAID 5 and 10 performance is limited to arrays with 4 disks. I know that RAID 5...

So far today I've spent about 5 hours trying to migrate my HTPC from a 200GB drive to a 320GB. I don't want to reinstall so I was just trying to clone the first disk to the second and expand the partitions. The first attempt was with Ghost 10. This didn't go well at all. Compared to the...

So, I'm trying to replicate a single database on a MySQL 4.1.20 box to a second box (which hosts other DBs that are not on the first system). The problem I'm having is CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, and ALTER TABLE statements are not being replicated to the slave server. Is there an option I'm...

So I just got a new APC UPS (Smart UPS 1500VA 2U) and I've got 3 servers attached. One is running Windows 2003 SBS and has the APC software installed. What I need is a way to shutdown the two Linux boxes that are attached. The APC software supports running a .cmd file before it shuts down...

So I was browsing Dell's web site, just about to buy a few new systems for work, and I noticed an option for "Sound Blaster® Audigy™ HD Software Edition". It's present on most of the notebook systems as well. Does anyone know what this is?

Has anyone ever had a problem with XP where USB Thumb Drives are not automatically installed when plugged in? My system here at work installs "USB Mass Storage Device", "Disk Drive", and "Generic Volume" every time I plug my device in. No other computer I use does it. I also get messages...

I'm trying to justify upgrading my clients here at work to Gig-E. I've already got Gig-E switches and a couple machines to match, most are still at 100Mb/s though. Can anyone recommend some software that will let me monitor bandwidth usage on the 2003 SBS server for a couple days? I'd...

Alright, I'm feeling kind of stupid right now, but I need some help with SBS 2003. How, exactly, do I share out a folder on the server, and not have to have a user supply a username and password to access it? I would like a few folders accessible to everyone on the network, including guests...

Did anyone else get an email from AMD about this third bundle? I just ordered mine because it beats the hell out of the regular server bundle. The email I got said they were reducing the price even further because they wanted the workshop to be full. Retail Price: $2000 Bundle Price: $900...

Why do they make this so complex? Some background, we have 22 client computers in the office and about 35 people who use them. Office employees have their own computers but the ones in the warehouse are shared. It seems to me that it would be better if I went with device CALs instead of...

Does anyone else not have any recorded points for the last 4 updates? I checked my total against what Stanford says and HF is about a 1000 points off. Some people do seem to have received points though as I just fell one spot.

The company I work for is looking at upgrading from the load-balanced DSL/Cable setup we currently have to a more reliable burstable T3 setup. We've got a quote from bandwidth.com but the price (through Broadwing) was without hardware. We were told that we were looking at a minimum of $3000...

I've got (4) brand new (and still sealed in the static bags) sticks of Crucial CT3272Y265. These modules are Registered ECC PC2100. The current list price on Crucial's web site is $49.99 each. I'd like to get $100 for the set of (4) (that's 50% off and I won't charge anything for shipping)...

Hurrah for me! I just broke in to the Top 200 of Team 33. http://www.hardfolding.com/index.php?go=38&tm=33&id=264

How do I get my info updated on HardFolding.com? I've added a few more machines since I signed up and I'd like to get my info updated.

Right now I've got 3 250GB drives attached to my HTPC via USB2 enclosures. Unfortunately, they just aren't cutting it. My movies occasionally skip (this doesn't occur if I pull one across my network from a different system) and I have zero redundancy. I'd like to setup a little PATA NAS...

My girlfriend (Dot) and I are moving to Exton, PA in about two weeks and want to get rid of some of the stuff we don't use anymore. She doesn’t have an account on these forums (or a PayPal account for that matter), so her contribution to this sale will be listed in with my items. To preface...

Are there any alternatives to AC3Filter for decoding AC3 data from Xvid files? I'm having some real sync issues with both my HTPC and Desktop machines when playing Xvid files w/ AC3 audio. Everything starts out OK but after about 30 minutes there is a noticable 1 second gap between the audio...

I've got an opened but never used Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU Cooler here that I was planning on using for my HTPC. It turns out that the board I bought (Abit AN7) has the CPU socket too close to the PSU and this cooler won't fit. I have the original packaging, the Zalman Fan Mate, all of the...

I decided that it was time to build my HTPC system. Here's a list of the stuff I ordered: Silverstone Lascala SST_LC02 (Silver) Abit AN7 Gigabyte Radeon 9600XT 2x Corsair Value Select PC3200 256MB Hauppauge WinTV-PVR250MCE StreamZap PC Remote 1U PCI Ribbon Cable Riser I ordered the...

I got my 2400+ M chip from NewEgg yesterday. Not bad for $77. Since I'm using a KT400 board (which doesn't have a 1/6 divider) I'm sitting at 166 MHz right now (FSB and RAM). I've got the multiplier up to 14 and the voltage set at 1.675V. Everything is rock solid. I wouldn't doubt that the...

My notebook's hard drive is about to crap out again. Does anyone have a recommendation on the latest batch of 40GB 5400 RPM drives? On the desktop-side I'm partial to Seagate, how are their notebook drives?
