So long story short, I'm running quite the antiquated system that just called it quits today. The newest addition to it is a GTX 1070 I bought back in 2016, while everything else is probably encroaching on the ten year mark based on my order history at NewEgg. As the subject says, I'm looking...

So I recently purchased a set of Edifier R1280Ts, and as it has a sub out, I am interested in hooking this up to my sub. The issue? I think I need a powered sub amplifier and I have no idea what ones are good. Long story short: I have the subwoofer from my previous Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. The...

So straight to the point: what made you switch? From Android to iOS or vice versa. I'd genuinely like to know. Storytime: As much as I hate to admit it, I don't look forward to owning a new Android phone as much as I used to in days past. Currently have a Pixel 4 XL. I'm content with it, but I...

Sorry if this question has been asked before. Nothing relevant came up in the searches I did. Is there any site that really puts laptops through the gauntlet like [H] did? There's a couple sites I did find but the articles are frustrating to read. There's really no set way they review the...

I'm on Sprint. Been one for about 15 years or so now. My wife is an iPhone user and currently has the iPhone X. She's looking to upgrade to a new iPhone due to the battery finally showing its age, but before we make that move, she wants me to look into something regarding voicemail. Back in...

I'm in the market for a racing wheel. Looking for something with 3 pedals and can do PC and XB1 at the very least. I don't need next best thing to driving the real deal, but I'd at least like something worth the bells and whistles and reasonably close. Primarily going to use this for...

Long story short, I'm wondering if my router is going bad, at least on the wireless side, or if it's something else. Current router setup: Internet -> Arris SB6190 modem -> Netgear R7000 -> All networked devices Networked devices: 1 PC - wired 1 Xbox - wired 1 Xbox wireless 1 tablet 2 phones 1...

Buddy of mine back in IL is looking to have another machine built, but since I'm no longer local to him, he is dependent on the Micro Center local to him to do his parts and build. Came up with a build, but not sure if I could do better or if I'm going overkill somewhere. 1) What will you be...

So I have an aging Seagate 2TB drive (quick Google search on the model # ST2000DM001-9YN164 puts this around 5-6 years if I'm reading it right) that I am using for all my games on my Steam drive. It's time to upgrade in capacity as I'm running low on space even with deleting games I'm not...

So it seems that no matter what mouse I buy anymore, after awhile, they all eventually end up with a double-click reaction even when I do a single click. Alternatively, at times the click will have no response at all. This has now happened with some Logitech mouse I can't remember the model of...

As the title says, I'm trying to dual boot the two OSes, no luck. Upgrading my Win7 partition to 10 resulted in so many crashes and WTFery that I am amazed the recovery to going back to win7 works. Literally, it crashed on the login screen and ate my primary account/profile but kept my...

So I'm in the market for a new SSD. Currently on a Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB but it's time to up the space. I'm thinking a 1TB is the best solution right now until larger sizes hit a similar price point. SATA would be preferred as I am on a semi dated motherboard (MSI Z77A-GD55) and I don't...

So it's been almost 4 years since I bought a video card, and I'm not sure where I stand at this point. I do know I'd like to eke out a couple more years out of my current system if I can help it. I am noticing some games are chugging a bit now if I start cranking up the eye-candy. Not sure if...

Not sure if this is the right forum but it made the most sense. I'm in need of a new desk, but I'm not sure what route I should go with for it. I've been looking the last couple days for something that would fit my needs, but it seems like nobody makes one that does all that I need it for...

So it turns out that my M60 has the ill fated double-click/no-click bug. A bit of Googling suggested this was a firmware issue and so I grabbed the latest firmware on Corsair's site, and updated thusly. I am still experiencing the issue, especially after gaming. I've even tried cleaning it to...

My wife and I are in the market for a printer. We're probably going to be printing black and white almost exclusively but color wouldn't be bad to have. I was thinking an all-in-one would be good, to have the scanner function as well. But I don't want to get raked over the coals for ink...

The latest update for the Weather Channel app is infuriating. They took everything I liked about the app and replaced it with background pictures I couldn't care less about seeing. It USED to be nice, but this latest update to it made it terrible. No more: - automatically updating...

I'm in the market for a new phone, and I'm on Sprint. My eligibility to upgrade has come up, but I'm kinda out of the loop on things. What I'm looking for: 1. Removable battery 2. Can still use an SD card 3. No common phone-breaking thing. (My Samsung Epic from way back apparently...

Friend of mine needs a wireless-N PCI-E x1 adapter for his new computer. We'll be getting it at Micro Center. Signal strength will not be an issue. He has a Netgear router and also a range extender on the floor this system will be on. Signal strength is solid with every device currently...

Buddy of mine is looking to replace his Dell from 2004 with something modern and will hopefully get him by as long as his Dell has. I have a parts selection picked out already via Micro Center, and a case from Amazon. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? 3DSMax and similar programs, some...

A friend of mine's parents are looking at getting a new desktop computer to replace the one they got back in 2000. They want something that is going to last them awhile since they don't really think about upgrading their computers very often. (14 years on the same machine being proof of that)...

So waaaay back, around 2006-2008 (I think) I bought the Klipsch Promedia 2.1's. They 're still alive and well, except now one of the bare wire connectors on the sub for the two speakers has broken off. The tab that holds the wire in place is worn out from what I can tell and won't clamp down on...

I'm in the market for a wireless-N router. Currently on a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 with DD-WRT, which is doing fine, but I'd like to step up to N and hopefully fix some of the wireless streaming issues I'm having with my fiancé's Xbox. My PC and my Xbox is wired and having no issues there. So what...

Let me start off by saying that my previous earpiece is a Jawbone 2. I liked it. The fit was good, I found it easy to use, and the battery life was within my range, as well as talk time. Aaaaaand I lost it. Searching high and low has turned up with nothing. No matter, as the talk time on...

What would it be? I'm kind of in the market for a laptop but I'm having trouble narrowing down my options. A friend of mine is in the same boat. So I'd like to know what your guys' picks would be under these price points: $2000+ $1500-$1999 $1000-$1499 Sub-$1000 We both play an...

I just did some Black Friday shopping for a new rig. Some stuff on actual BF sale, other stuff just regular sale pricing. MSI Z77A-GD55 - [H] just did a review on this board, as a reference. Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl w/ USB 3.0 ATX Full Tower Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001...

I have a 60 gig unit now that I'm almost maxing out. Kind of frustrating. As far as I can tell my 360 isn't giving up the ghost anytime soon, else I'd have just bought a 250gb slim already. On Amazon there's the OEM drive for $120, and then there's what appears to be sub-$70 third party...

Does anyone have it? What's your take on it? Has the non-removable battery become an issue for you? Is the battery life decent? Serious input please. I'm in the market for a new phone. I'd like it to be Android, have a physical keyboard, and rootable. I will be upgrading from an Epic 4G...

My girlfriend just got an Xbox 360 for her birthday and she needs a TV to go with it. She's getting by on the old CRT she has now via RCA input, but it's hard to see much of what's going on, especially text. (It's only about 19" or so) Size wise I'd say she'd be between 24-32" for where she...

I currently have a first gen CM Stacker 830; The one before they added the extra goodies in the later runs of it. It's lasted me this long but it's finally falling to pieces on me, literally. The side panels don't want to stay closed up anymore even when locked, the power button doesn't always...

Laptop is: Lenovo G555 with recently expired warranty. Hit the power button, light comes on as usual, screen doesn't display. The DVD drive kicks off like normal, everything comes on like normal but it doesn't POST nor does it load Windows. This is with off the power brick and...

http://www.akg.com/personal/,pcp_id,161,pid,906,_psmand,1.html&:GHS%201 Looks like it anyway according to this link. Anyone know about this? A quick google search reveals there are some reviews on it but nothing as in-depth as what [H] offers in a review by comparison, at least at a...

On my next build I plan on having more storage. One option I'm considering is having a drive JUST for my games. This will include my games purchased from Steam if that makes a difference. I've been doing some looking around but I'm not sure what I want to do exactly. I'm considering a 3TB...

As the title says more or less. My girlfriend just got an HTC Evo 4G and she's debating about rooting and going custom on the ROM. I have the rooting part figured out for the most part, but I'm not keen on the good bad and ugly on the ROM scene for this phone. I've been lurking on XDA's forum...

I'm more or less sold on the phone after trying out a number of Android phones at the Sprint store. Its the smoothest operating one, 4G in my area works, the keyboard allows me to actually type (my fingers are just too fat and calloused for that touchscreen keyboard, else I'd be sold on the...

Patch 1.1 notes here To me, it seems like a lot of nerfing going on. Then again I don't play against other people to know if these would be welcomed changes or not. Your thoughts?

going on a trip and i'd like an mp3 player that will survive a 4-5 hour car ride. however now is not the time to splurge or else this thread would be titled differently. must haves: not an ipod (dont try to convince me on one. if I wanted one, this thread wouldnt exist) backlit screen (dont...

I'm asking because I'm eligible for a rebate in December. It seems a new Android phone seems to pop up like what, every six months or so? I figure if something's going to be on the way only a month or two after that in 2011, I should wait for that to come out first. I'm hoping my Q9c can...

So today my battery on my Q9c refused to hold a charge or even accept one when plugged in. I refused to believe that this battery was dead because I've only had this phone for about a year and a half now. There's no way that this extended battery has seen enough abuse over the time of...

seriously. got a motorla q9c and I just killed my second car charger for this thing. I had a third party one before that called it quits on me. the mini-usb plug literally ripped out. now I got the official sprint charger which set me back a good 40 bucks at the sprint store, thinking I...
