    Can you post some pictures of the laptop? It might get the girlfriend to shut up for a while if I like it.

    Issue with Opera Browser

    Hey guys, I'm just newly trying the Opera browser as I want a little diversity from even Firefox. Although I'm curious to anyone that commonly uses this program, how can you alter video files being opened through different programs? I looked up under "Preferences" and "Video", even changing...

    Firefox Memory Optimizer

    What browser has a better coding scheme then, Ghost? Maxthon? Opera? I'm morbidly curious if a better alternative exists because I could assume most of us share in the thought that a more efficient system is a better system.

    Possible to transfer OS and files to another HD?

    Question is though, does Acronis clone partitions through the operating system or outside of it? I have a RAID volume which is fairly fluttery right now and I'd like to back up a few files.

    RAID Completely Fried?

    I've had 2 Maxtor 6YM0120 hard drives in RAID-0 over the last 4 years without so much as a hitch, but just a few days again, my world came crashing down upon me. Even further, I have this RAID volume partitioned a few different ways, to entice some organization. I came home to an error...

    Thanks for your input guys, I'll try them. The printer is definitely hooked up to the router though.

    Networking a Printer Across 2 Different OS'es

    Hey guys, a friend of mine is trying to create the possibility of a desktop PC and a laptop PC being able to share a printer that is connected to a router and the desktop PC. The desktop PC is currently running Windows Vista and I'm suspicious that it remains the culprit. The laptop is...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Nazo, I can't thank you enough for your valuable insight. Yes, I too despise a proprietary player being required for certain codecs. Personally, I have grown far too attached to VLC in the last 3 years to want to use anything else. I'll certainly give your suggestions a trial, although I'd...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Given that I simply don't keep up with codecs and the like, I'm trying to view two odd file formats known as .nsv and .mkv. Any thoughts on how I can get these to play? Usually, VLC has all the support that I need, but I'm afraid this isn't the case and most of the early posts in this thread...

    Remote Printing Question

    Currently, my roommate and I share a single broadband connection via a Linksys BEFW1154 router. He just hooked up his father's old HP OfficeJet G85xi all-in-one machine. The issue is, I can't even see the printer over the network, despite him currently sharing it. My guess is only because...

    Benefits of Dual Monitors

    I'm not even in the business currently of needing more than a single monitor, but after picking up a Dell 2407 WFP just a few months ago to complement my former primary Samsung 710T, I don't think that I can return to a single monitor. Regrettably, our day and age focuses so much on convenience...

    Am I The Only One Concerned?

    I just received my March edition of Game Informer (stupid impulse subscription purchase when I picked up my 360), and within a preview for Guitar Hero II, which arrives on Xbox 360 next month, apparently, the included guitar controller will NOT be wireless as otherwise thought, due to Microsoft...

    360 HD VGA Cable

    I must disagree with this because I've tested this with many DVD's that I own and between viewing movies on the Xbox 360 as opposed to my PC on the same monitor (Dell 2407WFP), the quality is immeasurably better on the PC. To the original poster: Purchase the cable. It's definitely worth...

    Nintendo not allowing online play for wii...

    I'm not one to just jump in on topics and completely include something off topic, but the additions of the NBC Dateline specials and other online predator investigations has forced my hand. Everyone needs to watch "Bro Rape" on YouTube. It's hilarious. On topic though, given that the Wii...

    12 Month xbox live subscription questions

    Lord knows that I would want the terminator on my team. Personally, I just bought the Live Gold Vision pack off Ebay for around $62 with shipping. I'm rather happy about that. I wish I would have had the extra month that I've seen offered, but heck, I think the entirety of the package...

    Hell yeah, I'll play you in some FIFA 07! What a poor lineup of teams to use! My current domination squad is Chelsea (odd because I'm not a huge fan of the organization), but I can use my favorite Borussia Dortmund or Liverpool to earn a nice clean sheet. Add me if you want to play. Dark...

    Ya know, after finally trying out Guitar Hero II by luck at a friend's place, I wish this series would also be released upon the Xbox 360. Imagine wireless guitars!

    Going to buy xbox360, games.

    Personally, I agree. Shooters are mostly worthless through consoles, in my humble opinion. Gears of War however, is a different story. Sports are friggin' great multiplayer entertainment in themselves! If I also might make a suggestion or two... Sneak King Pocket Bike Racer Big...

    Mousepads.. Which one you guys like?

    Personally, I still employ my Best Buy labeled mousepad that I purchased 6 years ago when I built my first custom computer. I've tried an acquaintance's Ratpad from maybe 2 years ago and I simply didn't enjoy the texture or how I reacted to it. No offense though, Kyle. A lot of people like...

    Xbox 360 VGA cable questions

    If running the 360 through the VGA cable is even possible on 1080i, mine somehow can't utilize it. The highest video option that I've seen through the Xbox Dashboard is 720i. I'm not too upset with it though, my few games look damn good... =] Dark Assassin

    Xbox 360 VGA cable questions

    In a rare event, I have to commend Microsoft on a great product. The pricetag compared to some third party models is rather disheartening, however, the quality certainly can be perceived as warranting the cost. I've seen the Pelican cable in use and I just didn't see a quality that I liked...

    HALO 3 Trailer Here !

    Given that the game's release date is currently slated during merely "07", I'm fairly excited by this little teaser. It really shouldn't be categorized as a trailer per se, as it follows a similar approach to political advertisements - short, sweet, and create interest in a very limited period...

    xbox 360 poll

    Hah, I purchased an Xbox 360 back in early September of '06. I played it for less than a month and while kicking ass in Perfect Dark Zero, the rings of light swift kicked me in the nuts. I took mine back to GameStop and I picked up the new unit. I haven't had a problem with the new model...

    Minimal Time, Maximum Review

    My ability to connect to the internet is extremely limited, so I pose a question to a few of you audiophiles. I am thinking about picking up a Yamaha YHT-270 from the local Best Buy and was wondering on some thoughts about quality on this idea. If anyone actually HAS one and has opinions...

    360 + monitor. How do you guys get sound?

    Well, after work last night, I acted rather foolishly and picked up a Yamaha YHT-270 from Best Buy because I'm exhausted from attempting to find the best deal while even playing my 360 a minimal amount without sound. Needless to say, Dolby Digital II over an optical connection on a 5.1 setup...

    Widescreen - worth it?

    As someone who's entire computer career has been dominated solely by 4:3 aspect CRT's and only fairly recently, an LCD, widescreen is an unbelievable jump. The resolutions especially on larger sizes (like my new Dell 2407) is incredible. The only problem is that DeviantArt and Interfacelift...

    360 + monitor. How do you guys get sound?

    I'm in exactly the same predicament exactly, instead I'm already ordering a VGA cable and I'm currently looking into picking up a cheap receiver from a JVC TH-C40 home theater set to connect the audio. Now my question would be, is it worth it to pick up some new speakers and a subwoofer for...

    Xbox 360 Setup with PC

    Dangit, buying the cheapest, most problematic hardware is simply something I don't do. Maybe that explains why I don't have as much capital as I'd prefer... I'm thinking of maybe just new computer speakers then. Although I still could use some user rated opinions of some average quality...

    Xbox 360 Setup with PC

    Alright, I'm understanding my options here. The sound card DOES have a SPDIF port, but I don't have the cable that might attach it. I might just go the receiver route, but my budget is extremely limited. Any suggestions for a receiver model that doesn't cost too much while providing a few...

    Xbox 360 Setup with PC

    Alright, I've been performing a little research into configuring my setup into something that is beneficial to me and I've come across a bit of a snag. I recently purchased a Dell 2407 WFP in the hopes of some fairly high resolution gaming that would warrant the reason I purchased an Xbox 360...
