Worth buying?

Thanks, guys. I jumped. As for the WD Green drive, I've already got a 6TB WD black on order to replace it.

Worth buying?

I've decided to upgrade. My current PC is an i7-4770k with GTX 1070sc. I can get this used from someone I know for $800. Any opinions on if this is a decent deal? I've been out of this for about 10 years, not keeping up on hardware. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x with stock cooler MB: Asus Prime...

Going from 2 RAID1 SSDs to 4 RAID10

OS: Win 8.1 64bit MB: MSI Z87-G45 Hd: 2 X 128GB Corsair Force GS Series I have the above mirrored in RAID0. I'm running up against the end of the drives (just over 3gb left thanks to my son's Steam games). I'd like to add 2 more SSD drives, increasing the overall drive size, while keeping...

Need to replace a DIR-655. Any advice?

As far as the smartphone, it's a known issue with Sense 3.5 custom ROMs on the Thunderbolt with some routers - mainly Belkin, but some others. This is even when right next to it. As to my wife's laptop, I'm sure it's an issue with something she got on it from visiting all those flash game sites...

Need to replace a DIR-655. Any advice?

I currently have a DLink DIR-655 (latest firmware - 1.35NA) in my small home (2 story, about 1200 sq. ft.). It covers the whole structure, no problem there. However, my HTC Thunderbolt has a custom Sense 3.5 rom on it, and it constantly drops connection and reconnects. (All sense 3.5 roms on my...

Snap, Crackle, POP! Now nothing.

Thanks for the help, guys. Ordered the 600W OCZ SteathXtream from Newegg, threw it in and she fired right up. Luckily, the PSU didn't take anything else with it. On another note, the current PSU was NOT the NZXT model I mentioned. It was an Aspire ATX-AS500W. I'm a little cheesed about this...

Snap, Crackle, POP! Now nothing.

This morning before work, I went to move some files from my HD to my 8GB flash drive. When I hit the power on button on my PC, I heard a loud pop, followed by a very slight and brief burning smell. And nothing otherwise. It's about 2-years old, no problems before. Homebuilt. Now, hit the...

**hot** Best Buy

I forgot to thank the OP before. I picked up Firefly for myself and Season 7 of Buffy for a friend. With the 10% coupon for movies/music, it came to $15.29 each. Great deal!

Tons of hot deals @Microcenter b+m

I visit the local Microcenter every couple of weeks. I'ts a great store. The employees are knowledgeable, and even better are not pushy. They'll ask you once if you need any help, and if you tell them, "No thanks, I'm just looking." that's the end of it. Got the wife an AData 2GB SD card for...

[Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

I already got more than I'd expected (both 32 and 64-bit versions of Vista Ultimate with separate keys). I'd have to be on greedy fool to lie for more! BTW, so far I am less than impressed with Vista compared to my trusty XP Pro. I'm trying to tweak it out, speed it up. Hope it works!

Vista 64-bit install problems

I got my free Vista 64-bit from the Windows Feedback Program. But I'm at a loss now as I try to set up a dual boot with the existing XP Pro. I already had a nearly empty 40-gb partition on my HD (two drives in RAID mirror SATA). I formatted it with the Vista install formatter, then installed...

[Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

I'm thinking of giving the 32-bit version to my dad - he's got a box still running 98! Hell, he only has XP on the other because I got it for him. He hates giving MS even a penny. However, once I get the 64-bit running correctly in dual boot with my XP-Pro, it's probably going to dad.

[Dead - no new signups get gift] Windows Feedback Program ( Free VISTA, Office, or other product)

I'm just across the Delaware from you (well, a little south, too. Right near the Delaware Memorial Bridge) My Vista ultimate arrived today - separate DVDs with separate product keys. I'm curious if they can be installed separately, or if I install the 64-bit (dual boot with XP pro) on my PC...
