Home VPN Server Setup?

Hey everyone, with all this spying and privacy and PRISM and all that other nonsense going on, I had been tossing around the idea of using a VPN. I have a weird case here. I want to use the VPN at home only (I don't need it anywhere else). I had been looking at creating an OpenVPN server on...

Reliable HDD?

It's like it's always been, you get what you pay for. I wouldn't touch a WD "Green" drive with a 10 foot pole. No advertised RPM speed, crap warranty, mediocre reviews. The WD Blacks have 5 year warranties, cost more, and perform better than the Greens.

Monitor standby issues

Already have, but that doesn't help with the reboot issue.

Monitor standby issues

Hey all, just got a replacement videocard that finally works from EVGA. It's a GTX 550 Ti, but I'm having some monitor issues. The problem I'm having is my monitor (a Dell 2209WA) takes forever to resume from standby/power save mode. Once it goes into power save mode, it can take anywhere...

U2410 too hot. Looking for replacement with same quality.

A monitor just doesn't get that hot unless it's malfunctioning. They get warm, yes (as in, you can feel warmth putting your hand on the top-back of the monitor) but they don't get so hot as to cause a significant, or even noticeable, issue with ambient temperature. If the monitor is very hot...

What is your HTML performance 2D

This comp I use at work is so over bogged down with crap (it's a corporate comp) like crappy overbearing anti-virus, user group-policy enforcement, etc etc. Plus, the install of Windows is so ancient that it desperately needs a re-install. I've done everything I can possibly do (that I have...

What is your HTML performance 2D

I just decided it would be amusing to do this on the computer I'm forced to use at work. The result? 1793 seconds. In other words, 29 minutes and 53 seconds Core 2 Duo E6750 3GB RAM Intel Q35/GMA 3100 (1680x1050 resolution) Windows XP SP3 (Install date: 12-09-2008) Google Chrome 19 Proof:

My EVGA RMA experience...

Well I got the new card today, another 9800 GTX+ with a vanilla 9800 GTX part number. It works (thank god). Though I am concerned that the fan runs at 100% (according to GPU-Z) and is quite loud. It idles at 62c even with the fan full blast. But I guess it works, though I have yet to try it...

My EVGA RMA experience...

Yeah, they didn't offer me another 550 Ti. They just told me I'd be getting another 9800 GTX. I just had questions about the 550 Ti, to which the Level 2 tech was a prick to me about.

My EVGA RMA experience...

Well, for me, the CS was incredibly hit-or-miss. The first time I was escalated to "Level 2" tech support, with questions about the GTX 550 Ti, asking about both the texture and pixel fill rates being a good margin lower on it, compared to my 9800 GTX, as well as with the 550 Ti not even...

My EVGA RMA experience...

I did, to a manager (I believe he called himself the Assistant Product Manager or somesuch). He just apologized and said EVGA had gone above and beyond because they were giving me EAR replacements, paying shipping both ways, for all 3 RMAs (this, after complaining about the 3rd RMA being a...

My EVGA RMA experience...

Yeah, I'm seriously considering ASUS when "Big Kepler" comes out, which is when I'll be doing a system overhaul. This is really making me think twice about EVGA, what with all the praising that was done about them over the years, I thought I couldn't go wrong.

My EVGA RMA experience...

First, let me state that all of my past experiences with EVGA have been stellar, and have wholeheartedly recommended them to friends and family in a heartbeat. Now, to my RMA story. This is not a "bash" against EVGA, just putting it out there to make others aware of what can happen...

NBF MobileForce XP/Se7en 190.38 - TWEAKED video drivers

Hey guys, I've been a member here for a while, and some of you may remember me, so I figured I'd give you guys a heads up that I've got some new, updated laptop video card drivers up. What are they, you ask? Tweaked, and supporting pretty much every laptop video card from the GeForce Go...
