A friend of mine accidentally deleted photos she wanted from her sd card. She's tried using the program "recuva" to recover them but with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm trying to build an Ubuntu Server box primarily for media streaming/file serving and some light development. I'd like to set up a software raid 5 array with 4 or 5 2TB drives. However, I can't tell which drives are able to do Raid and which are not (this is after following the boards and...

I'm looking for a good case for a home media/development server I am setting up. I'm putting in an Athlon II x4 635 w/ a microATX mobo. I need a case that can support 4-6 hard drives (6 is the maximum on the board, 4 is what I suspect I'll end up actually using). It'd be great if those...

I recently purchased an MSI Motherboard and it says it supports "DDR3-1600 (O.C.), DDR3-1333, DDR3-1066, DDR3-800". I'm unsure what the "(O.C.)" means. Will it natively support DDR3-1600? I have a pair of these lying around will they work...

I just picked up the OCZ ModXstream 600W for cheap, and I'm wondering if I'd be able to run 2 x 8800gts 512 in SLI on my current rig (See 1st item in Sig)? Also, is this OCZ power suppy stronger than my current one (also in sig) which is now 2 years old?

I just installed a new Intel X25-V SSD with a fresh Windows 7 64 bit install on Friday. After installing Windows and all the applications I needed, I was left with ~18GB left on the drive. However, I looked at the amount of free space available today, and it's down to only 7GB! The loss in...

I'm shopping out a new laptop for my cousin. I don't really follow laptop technology other than on notebookreview.com, so I have little idea of what is really out there. Here are the specs I'm looking for: 13-15" screen Good battery life (5+ hours) Built in CD/DVD Drive Moderate...

I'm trying to understand the label on my power supply. It shows Input Voltage, Current, and Power. The input voltage varies from 3.3v, 5v, 12v, -12v etc. What do these different voltages signify? As in, when are the different voltages used by the computer? My understanding is very basic...

I'm trying to upgrade my current system on a $500 budget. Here's my current build: Intel E2160 (350FSB x 9 = 3.15ghz @ 1.325vCore) w/CoolerMaster TX2 EVGA 8800gts 512mb (G92) @ 740/1800/1040 Abit IP35-E rev 1.4 A-DATA 4GB(2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 -- 876mhz [email protected] Samsung Spinpoint F1...

I'm going from Windows XP -> Windows 7. Is there a difference between installing Windows 7 from the desktop as opposed to booting from the dvd first? I know the dvd will allow you to partition the drive, but will both ways be a completely "clean" install of the OS? Or are there benefits to...

I currently use a Samsung 2493hm that I bought 2 years ago. I just wanted give a brief survey to see if new monitors in the $200-$400 dollar range have improved in any way since then. I have about $500 dollars to spend and I'm curious if a new monitor should even be considered. Thanks.

My computer has been feeling sluggish lately and I'm looking to upgrade it. My price range is $400-$500 dollars (could be stretched a little if it was really worth it). Regular performance in Windows XP just doesn't feel very snappy to me. I'd like things to load faster and programs to run...

I want to a throw a 5870 into my existing rig, but i'm wondering if my E2160 @3.15ghz is going to bottleneck it. I realize most of this will just be conjecture, but I'm interested if others are running systems similar to mine with the 5870 or other powerful current gen Graphics cards...

I'm debating buying a HP Mini 1000 but i'm worried about the fan noise and heat production. I was wondering if anyone has experience with it. I'm kind of a sound nut and like my stuff as quiet as possible. I've also been considering the Dell Mini 9, but the keyboard and style is unappealing...

I currently own one Seagate 7200.10 320gb HD w/ 16mb cache. I'm going to pick up a new hard drive soon and i'm not sure if i should get one identical to the one I have now or if I should buy a larger/faster one which is a tad cheaper. I currently am not running RAID, however, I may one day...

I've been looking around at a few different threads about this but I don't feel i have a clear picture on it yet. I'm currently gaming on a 19" Samsung @ 1280x1024. My 8800GTS G92 can handle pretty much everything with Anti-Aliasing on including Crysis. However, I am caught up in the hype...
