I have two of these bad boys at work and I love them. I was going to replace my move my Dell U2414H to secondary monitor duties (currently have an ancient Samsung SyncMaster 940a there) and get the EB243YU for my primary display. They were in stock at Microcenter just a few weeks ago for $160...

Trying to figure out which way to go with this... Ryzen 5 3600, AIO would be front mounted in a Corsair Air 540 case. EVGA CLC 280 (5th gen Asetek, loud-ass fans, ass RGB)...

I don't wanna bust the bank but I don't wanna get the poor kid a turd with shitty viewing angles, either. I don't wanna get him the $100 special if you can't look at it from more than 10 degrees off straight on. That said, the kid doesn't need 144Hz G-Sync to play Minecraft or watch YouTube...

So... I'm looking to go water-cooling on my box and I've been wondering: Is there actually any benefit to having two radiators vs one? I've got a Corsair Air 540, so there's PLENTY of space in there. I could put a 360 on the front and a 280 on the top, but how much benefit would there actually...

I've got a 560Ti and it's... Well... Old. Unfortunately, I don't have a ton of cash these days. I don't game hardcore, just the occasional TF2 or CS:GO session, but who knows what other game I might find interest in, so I don't want to get bottom of the barrel. Is the 1050Ti or the RX560...

I'm looking to water-cool my box (case is a Corsair Air 540) and I want to max out my radiator coverage (a 2x140 on top and a 3x120 in the front) now so it can support any future hardware upgrades with ease. Plumbing will be easy with this case. What would you guys suggest for those radiator sizes?

So... I've currently got a Netgear R6250. It worked great in my old house but I have tons of trouble with it in the place we moved into a year ago, and it seems to be getting worse. It's current location is marked in red in my shitty MS Paint map of the house, and it's on top of a book shelf...

Is there any sort of easy-to-read table outlying all the differences between the 7,259 different Z170 boards that AsRock makes? I haven't found one.

OK, so my five-year-old boy is getting a PC build for Christmas. I'll be recycling some parts and getting him some new stuff. However, since he's five, aesthetic is important. Therefore, I want to get him a case that is primarily red. However, I also want it to not be a nightmare...

I'm looking for a new keyboard since my Logitech G110 is shitting the bed and out of warranty (some keys, especially Enter, aren't always returning to the top position, even after disassembly, cleaning, and lubing). So, I'm going to take this opportunity to go mechanical. I'm undecided...

So, looking to upgrade from the rig in my sig. Looking at either a 4690K or a 4790K and I'll obviously need a motherboard. I'm way out of the loop on what's good these days. I'm looking for something simple with decent OC (doesn't need to be competition level OCing). I don't need crazy...

So, long story short... Got a Netgear R6250 today to replace my Netgear WNDR3700 that's been my main router for a few years. I installed DD-WRT on the WNDR3700 and set it up in Client Bridge mode to replace the Linksys WRT54G (also with DD-WRT) set up the same way that's been serving as my...

OK, so I'm somewhat of a Linux noob. I've had three instances of HLDS running consistently of my Ubuntu box for a couple months and I've surprisingly not had any power outages during hurricane Sandy or the snow storm, so I haven't worried about it. However, I do want to get it set up to run...

OK, boys and girls... Long story short... I'm finding that 4 gigs of RAM just isn't enough anymore in the system in my sig below. I'd upgrade that but there are a few things to consider (HSF is in the way of the other two slots, plus it's DDR2 in a DDR3 world). Also my board is an AM2+ board and...

EVGA DS SuperClocked 01G-P3-1567-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA Core Clock: 900MHz Shader Clock: 1800MHz Stream Processors: 384 Processor Cores Model #: 01G-P3-1567-AR OR MSI...

I've got an eVGA 9800GT Superclocked Edition. It's still going strong, but... Well, the upgrade bug is starting to bite. I obviously want an improvement over what I have, but I'd like to know where my starting point is, to see how far I have to stretch my budget to get the improvement that I want.

The short story is... I just bought this cam. Yeah, I know it doesn't do 100% true 1080p, so let's just skip that. I want to get myself a 32gig SDHC card that's Class 6 or above, but I don't want to get something that doesn't work. For instance, apparently the Vixias don't like Transcend cards...

I think this should work, but I just wanted to be 100% sure. I just moved so I don't have access to all my disks. I do have my brother's Win7 Upgrade disk, however. I'm installing Win7 on a box using a full version (not upgrade) key. I repeat, it's a full key, NOT an upgrade key. Are the...

OK... Severely confused... Not sure how these files got on my WinMo6.1 phone and I can't delete them. There's two folders and two files with invalid filenames consisting of just gibberish characters. The two files are reported as being larger than the total memory installed on the phone, so...

OK... I searched... I couldn't find anything that really answered my question. I've got PowerDVD 9 Ultra and I'm going to be running it on a Gateway P-7915u with an LGE CT10N BluRay drive. What I want is a good, user-friendly remote that'll allow access to all functions during BluRay playback...

So... I'm looking to get a laptop to replace my desktop (in sig). Unfortunately, I won't have a desk anymore once the office is turned into the (not yet conceived) baby's room. So... Everything within my budget seems to top out with an nVidia GT 130m. I'm not a hardcore gamer and I pretty much...

I'm tired of finding that every gaming laptop I look at is all gimmick and no substance. Sure, it may have good hardware on the inside, but the price is doubled because it's metallic orange, has wings, is four feet thick, and has enough LEDs to be seen from orbit. The thing is that this will be...

OK... This is for my brother. He's come to me asking about upgrading his processor but keeping his motherboard. He's running a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 with a Windsor 5200+, DDR2-800 and two 8800GTs in SLI. He wants to upgrade his chip and RAM and OC it, but he asked me about it to be sure the...

OK, boys and girls. I have a pair of tickets here that you may be interested in, but move quick because the show is this Friday night! I'm unable to go and nobody I know is interested. Edgar Winter and Johnny Winter Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza, 17 Irving Place, New York, NY Friday, 3-6-09...

I've got Vista Business installed on my machine with a key that I got for free from that Power Together (or whatever) promotion a while ago. Anyhow, there's some features in Home Premium that I want. So I was thinking of grabbing an OEM copy of Home Premium. So, what happens if I change the key...

I've searched and searched and searched and haven't come up with anything definitive... Do I want PC2-800 CAS 4 or PC2-1066 CAS5 for an Athlon X2 7750 that I plan on moderately OCing on an ASRock AOD790GX? Whichever option you pick, why?

I'm trying to figure out what new board I will purchase since my current mobo and cpu just aren't cutting it anymore. The problem is that it looks like nForce chipsets are no longer the big deal for AMD chips. It seems that the hot purchase is something with the SB750 southbridge. I'm just...

Basically the only game I play on my box is TF2 and sometimes a little CS:S. I'm coming to find that I'm a bit bottlenecked at the CPU with my current setup and I can't raise my settings without making my frames suck. Sooooo... Which way would you go? AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 2.7GHz 3MB L2 Cache...

As you can see from my sig, I have an eVGA 9800 GT SC and an OC'd Opteron 165. Am I better off going SLI or upgrading my board and getting a new proc and more RAM?

My brother's 7800GT is going wacky on him so he's going to send it into eVGA for a warranty replacement. What do you think he'll get in return? He's not expecting anything different back. I'm just curious. Do they even have any 7800GTs to replace it with? I know I've read here before that...

Right now I'm rockin' an eVGA 7900GS and I'd like to get more out of my TF2 experience. Right now, I seem to be getting around 30-40fps at 1680x1050 with everything set to the recommendations (high but not the highest, no AA and no AF) and I'd like to ratchet up the settings and turn on AA and...

I've got a Chieftec Dragon case... Yeah, it's old. Don't laugh. I'm broke. Anyhow, I need new fans and I'm trying to figure out which fans to get. It's got 80mm fans all around, two intakes up front on the bottom (one above the other), an intake on the door over the expansion slots, and two...

I haven't found anything really impressive deal-wise for the Nikon D40. Anybody got anything?

My brother's looking to build himself a gaming system and I'm trying to help him find a nice board for it. I'm quite happy with my abit AN8 32X and was wondering if the AN9 was comparible. If not, what would you guys suggest for running an AM2 chip hard?

I just hooked up a printer to my sister's machine that's running XP-x64. It's a new install, so I'm just setting up the sharing, now. For some reason, however, I can't log into her machine from my machine running Vista Business 32-bit. It says that the login/password is incorrect even though it...

Well, I tried searching and I didn't find anything. What I want to know is if anybody's successfully upgraded the 360's hard drive from the 20gig that's in there to any other 2.5" laptop drive. The only thing I've been able to find is this link that says how it's theoretically possible, but...

Just wondering which driver is giving the best performance. I've been fearful of late of upgraded to the latest and greatest since sometimes they're not so great and break something. LOL

For sale: 1987 full-size Ford Bronco with remanufactured .030 351W engine, remanufactured heads, torquey cam, Holley 650 carb. Body has mild rust (no rot except in tailgate, which is replaceble). Frame also has no rot. The trans is in good shape with firm shifts but does have a mild leak. 4x4 is...

Well, it looks like I'm FINALLY getting a job back in the technical field as an on-site PC tech. Sooo... I need a good tool kit. I don't want to get just one of those cheapo tool kits where I can break the screwdriver trying to remove a video card, but I also don't want to spend a fortune. I...
