Who makes Inland PS for Micro Center?

It's installed now and removing it at this point would be a PITA, but on the outward facing label (i.e. looking at the motherboard in a standard ATX case, the side of the power supply facing you) there's no UL logo, yet there are other certification logos. The only place I see any reference at...

Who makes Inland PS for Micro Center?

Anyone know? I doubt they're being designed in-house by Micro Center... more likely just a rebadge of someone else's models.

Micro Center USB Flash -- Speed? Reviews?

I didn't realize that's how they were getting that kind of speed out of those drives, but I suppose that makes sense. Similar, I suppose, are the dual channel USB sticks.

Micro Center USB Flash -- Speed? Reviews?

Myo: Traditionally, yeah, flash is slower than a HDD. But then again, a lot of people are liking their SSDs. Of course, USB flash is a different class of product, and yes, it'll be a whole lot slower than an HD. I did take a look at some readyboost drives, but I'm getting mixed reviews...

Micro Center USB Flash -- Speed? Reviews?

Hey all -- I need to upgrade the USB sticks I'm carrying with me these days. I don't need anything huge (4/8GB), and nothing too expensive, but I'm sick of slooooow transfers. What can I find on the shelves at Micro Center that will fit the bill? Would I be better off with something like...

ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA

Weird video corruption issue here, don't know where to place the blame. I have an nVidia 7300LE PCIe card in the system, which has been working just fine, until I put in a Twinhan 1025 DVB-S PCI card. Now, anytime I playback video using overlay mode (in any app -- e.g.: VLC), I get video...

Possible Deals, COMPUSA closing 128 stores.

I'm particularly thrilled how they've started advertising "up to" 50% off, only to find out it's ONLY the Cellboost stuff (a month away from expiration) marked down that much. Even the store fixtures are WAY overpriced.

MB w/ onboard video supporting E4300 OCing?

Hmm... that ASRock board is *very* tempting. Just not sure if it's worth trying to keep my Radeon 8500LE on life support, but I suppose I can always upgrade to PCIe later and then reuse the card on my next mobo. Will OC to 2.7GHz (or more, if I go with hardware vcore mod) be a prob when using...

MB w/ onboard video supporting E4300 OCing?

Hmm. The abit looks interesting, though I'm not a big fan of JUST released boards. What about a cheaper MB w/o onboard video and a low-end video card? Aero is my only requirement, but being able to decode HD H.264 would be a nice plus, if possible. Maybe a cheap 7300LE or GS? How does that...

MB w/ onboard video supporting E4300 OCing?

I've managed to scrape up some limited funds to upgrade an old A64 2800 system. I was about to pull the trigger on an X2 4600 setup, but the E4300 reviews have me thinking about going over to the dark side. What makes the X2 4600 setup so affordable is a GeForce 6100-based system with onboard...

Looking for "reverse" case

Zepper -- this frontx stuff is interesting. Maybe not for this project, but I could see myself using something like this for something else I'm working on. Thanks for the link. Trippy -- yeah, I thought about that... but then I have to worry about the cage the optical drives sit in, and...

Looking for "reverse" case

Does anyone know of a case which places the back panel of the motherboard in the FRONT of the case, below the optical drives? Ideally, I'd have the power supply and hard drives in the back, and connector panel (full -- not just audio/usb) with PCI slots facing out in the front. I know this...

Gigabyte 945-based board for C2D?

I want an E6300 because of its overclocking niceness (and cost, 'course)... but this machine will be used for media encoding, not gaming. So Gigabyte's GA-945GM-S2 at around $99 is very attractive, since it has onboard (Intel GMA 950) video, saving me the cost of a card. Of course, the problem...
