If you need help identifying anything, let me know. Same if you are interested in parting with anything. I may be interested in anything I don't have in my collection.
Probably not what you're expecting, but I thought: Why not give the whiner's the best of both worlds!? A blazing fast high-end graphics card, powered by both nVidia's GP102 and AMD's Polaris 11 architecture. nVidia fanboys can finally use Freesync monitors (and enjoy any games that support TressFX.....
Can't say I like it one bit, but that's not the worst part of their site. AMD's website is broken... for example, choose an earlier Catalyst driver. I chose one for Vista 64-bit - Catalyst 13.12. Then hit the release notes - it's for Catalyst 14.4. Yay... now I have all the wrong information. AMD ha...
I have used some Ubiquiti, and I have a friend that uses Ubiquiti as well. I only have experience with their WAPs and WiFi Bridges. I don't bother with their routers or switches, but that's because I'm quite fond of Cisco when it comes to those (their enterprise solutions, not their Small Business o...
Phone: Samsung Anycall SCH-M480 running modern hardware, a higher resolution screen (but NO gorilla glass), and 4 SIM card slots (1 for US personal, 1 for US work, 1 for South Korea personal, 1 for Japan personal). OS: Blackberry 10 OS, but needs the added function of Japanese language input and abi...
My longest work shift was 18 hours (I also worked in the software industry). 12-16 hour days were the most common; 7 days a week. There was quite a few months in a row, where I got 1 Sunday a month off. Aside from maybe 1 or 2 weeks, I don't think I ever worked less than 80 hours a week. I worked th...
As far as working on other peoples' computers, I really don't care how old it is. I've had customers with Pentium III computers that needed repairs - and a few even older (including an original Pentium laptop, and a 486). Where did you find the parts? And legal copies of Windows 9x and/or MS-DOS? H...
As far as working on other peoples' computers, I really don't care how old it is. I've had customers with Pentium III computers that needed repairs - and a few even older (including an original Pentium laptop, and a 486). When it comes to re-installing Operating Systems, I'm not too picky about medi...
An SSD probably won't make much difference in a lot of games, but it will make EVERYTHING you do with your computer so much more enjoyable. The first computer I built with an SSD, I used Intel's X25-M 80GB (G1) - 6 years later and it was still about as fast as the day I built it. The SanDisk Ultra I...
IMO, the best way to go would be an external DAC with standard optical/coax SPDIF inputs, which would allow it to work with whatever sound solution you might be using at the time. An external DAC with SPDIF inputs...... which one would you recommend? Take a look at the Modi 2 Uber: http://schiit.co...
I got something similar on a Linux box recently. Keyboard and mouse don't work once the system loads the OS... at least not initially. If I wait 2-5 minutes the keyboard and mouse start working. I also noticed that if I unplug and re-plug in a device (e.g. mouse), it lights up very briefly, but doe...

I'm a collector, so I always keep it. I don't usually replay them, but it depends on the game. To this day, every year I'm pulling out the original Sid Meier's Civilization... I just like it more than any other Civ game. I eventually do go back to quite a few games I loved. Despite that story-based ...
I would recommend a larger SSD (unless you know you won't fill a 120GB), and going for a single 8GB DIMM to leave room for upgrades in the future. If you are on a budget, you can save money on the CPU and motherboard. For these types of builds I've been using $50 Celeron processors. They are plenty ...
Americans have become immature, and refuse to take responsibility for themselves. Simple as that. You just look at some of the lawsuits that get won to know that. That said I have 2 semi-related rants: 1.)I have had nothing but problems since I got phones with ATT last year. First they said I could ...
If you can wait a couple weeks, what about MSI's new J18001? Looks to be about $60 for the 2.4GHz dual-core version on a mITX form factor motherboard. Leaves a lot of cash for case, power supply, and hard drives.
(i)I think a Quad-Core CPU will be just fine. I think it will take several years before 6 and 8-core CPUs become more mainstream, so I wouldn't expect most games to take advantage of it. Games that utilize more cores will still more likely benefit from a faster graphics card, than those extra cores....
I'll just leave this here: http://jay-machalani.squarespace.com/blog/2013/12/12/fixing-windows-8 They'll never fix Windows as far as I'm concerned (that would require giving the user a lot more power and ceasing from trying to obfuscate everything in the UI), but the above concept would get me to pu...
Dear Diary, Today it happened again! She re-appeared on the network, and it looks like she's been assigned to my workgroup! Her name is Ivy, and her IP address ends in 42. ...I'm pretty sure it's not dynamically assigned. I remember the first time I saw her - I tried to introduce myself, but kept dr...
