Say I wanted to use both sides of a circuit board. I have a 7-Segment LED on one and on the other an IC (not directly behind each other) so each component's pins were on opposite sides of the board. How would I connect the two? The only thing I can think of is a solid wire going in a hole...

Not sure if this should be here or in worklogs in case/modding. Figured it's mostly gaming hardware so here, but mods can move it if you want. Okay, finally got some pictures of my new setup and am writing a review of sorts of my build. Pictures follow this post. THE BEGINNING I...

Anyone know of quick release screws for monitors for VESA mounts? Thumbscrews or the like. I have two mounts I would like to switch occasionally and would rather not have to get out a screwdriver. I know they make quick release mounts but would rather not buy a whole new setup.

Can anyone that is running surround with a mix of different monitors post your results here? By a mix I mean the same size but different brands or models. Do you have bezel management? Any issues you've run into? I ask because when you mix different brand monitors with Eyefinity, if the...

Was wondering what everyone else does first when playing games. Feel free to post why.

Kyle, Was wondering if you could ask AMD if they even have plans to update drivers to allow bezel management when using the same resolution but different model monitors? I have 3 Dell 24" monitors but they are 3 different models. They all seem to have the same bezel width but because the...

I'm looking for a 775 MB to support a Q6550. It will be a secondary gaming machine for racing with a hand-me-down ATI 4870x2. I generally don't overclock but I'm not against it using stock coolers. If I was to upgrade the computer in the future I would probably get a whole new i7 setup so I...

Anyone here using a Core 2 Duo with Eyefinity? I have a E8500 (at stock) and am seriously thinking about a 24" x 3 (5760 x 1200) eyefinity setup for racing games. I'm thinking at that resolution I would still be GPU limited. Am I correct? I just worry I'm going to get my new cockpit...

Ignore. Solved my own problem. Thanks for looking :)

Running Windows 2008 server with DNS/DHCP in mydomain.local domain. DHCP computers get their DNS server/domain information just fine and can resolve non-Active Directory servers just fine, since I statically added them to the mydomain.local zone in DNS. I have a few servers that are NOT part...

Anyone done Eyefinity in portrait mode? Any pics or thoughts comparing it to landscape?

Looking for a decent RPG that I can go coop through that isn't a MMO from the last few years. I like some depth (non-click fest) but could tolerate a bit of that. Played NWN for years and went through NWN2 but was disappointed. Thinking Dungeon Siege II as a filler, not sure about Titan's...

Hello all. I just got my BFG PPU to go along with my 4870X2. GRAW 2 runs great with everything on max EXCEPT for the Extreme setting for the physx. I have the options and if I set it to High, it runs smooth as butter. As soon as I enable Extreme, it slows down to intolerable levels. I...

I would like a physx card to go with my new build (I'm going ATI) but don't want to pay new. I'm going to go back and play some older games that support it so if you have a physx card just lying around, let me know what you want for it.

I'm upgrading my game computer and have been out of the hardware world for a few years. After some research below is my build I need help with some feedback. ***************** My Needs ***************** - I am NOT an overclocker. I like speed/stability at stock. I don't have time to...

Okay, here's my issue. I'm an intermediate programmer but have come upon a situation that I could use some input from some better programmers. I am building an web-based inventory application in VB.Net (.Net 2.0). I need to build a form that will ask for a count of the inventory. Here is...

With Crysis and the the incredible nature of the graphics got me thinking. With as much as it's doing- HDR, awesome textures, water waves, volumetric clouds, realistic shadows, etc., etc.... are we getting to a point where we're going to have to put graphics power into very minor things that...

What are the best sites you have found for 1) Asp.net learning and 2) Asp.net forums? I divide those up because I am intermediate programmer but would love to learn more but I'm really looking for communities where I can learn and gain ideas from people asking questions and discussions. Plus...

What I'd like to see, and not sure why they didn't with GRAW, would be the PPU used to do bullet physics. Add some wind, penetration materials, gun recoil, etc, would add up to realistic bullet drop and variation WITHOUT any more polygons! You could also have the power of the gun (ie a 2000...

Wow. In one round I got 40 points - 17 kills and 6 assists with the new AA. Planes and helicopters really have to worry now! Two hits (one volley) will take them out! And the missles seem on steroids with the speed they shoot out at. Reload time is the same. Now there will not be any air...

Just thought I'd share a fix I found for when your servers show zero and won't update again. Supposably you can only put a total of 5 filters on. Sure enough, I took off my map filters (unclicked all so they would show all), and got it down to 5. Clicked the update servers button and Bam...

This is driving me bonkers and it's probably my lack of understanding but I have this code on a Master Page that adds a control (a saved menu) to the page in the Page_Load: pnlMenu.Controls.Clear() Dim myMenu As Menu = CType(Session("Menu"), Menu) pnlMenu.Controls.Add(myMenu) But it...

Anyone tried this yet? I'm wondering about buying the game but I want to know how the multiplayer is. What kind of modes, are the cops in multiplayer, is there free roam or what? More information the better! Thanks!

Not sure whether this should go under computer mods or here. Anyway, I decided to build 3 racers in my basement. I started with a 4' long x 2' wide x 5' high frame: I then attached seats from Hondas, bolted to the frames. They still slide back and forth, allowing you to adjust them...

Okay, is it just me or is there some secret to AA missles. You lock onto a plane/helicopter and fire, yet the missle seems to decide what to do on it's own. I stay locked on the whole time, yet the missles only hit 10% of the time. I've tried firing when the vehicle is going away from me...

Does anyone know when and how you unlock weapons in BF2? I've heard you can unlock a weapon per rank-up but last night after getting my first rank-up (PFC) I still can't unlock anything. Is there a specific way to unlock the weapons? Do I need to increase another rank? Thanks.

I've got Windows 2003 Web Edition with SP1 but a security tool I use is saying it's not up to date with the latest version number. I've got all critical updates/hotfixes yet it still says it. I go to the system properties and it says Windows 2003 Web Edition Service Pack 1 I run the ver...

Hello all. I've been out of the loop for a while and need some opinions. Feel free to recommend. Here are my needs/wants/requirements of the computer I want to build: 1. Gaming Rig 2. I do not overclock. I want the fastest without overclocking. I like stability over speed. 3...

Was wondering if anyone has confirmed/denied this. With Nvidia's SLI, would it be possible to run 3 (or even 4) monitors in their Horizontal Span mode for games? Triple monitor gaming is what I've been waiting for (the Parhelia is not fast enough). It seems to me it would be do-able with SLI...

Hello! Long time lurker first time poster (too many forums to sign up for them all!). I like [H] so much that I thought I'd post here first, a world exclusive :) . So I decided to build a flight/racing simulator codenamed Project BBS (Black Box Simulator) after the flight recorders in...
