Recommend me a B&W multifunction printer

Thanks for the suggestion. I see people are indeed happy with this model. I've just missed a good offer on the Xerox 3220 (should have decided sooner), so now the 3220 and the MFC-7840W cost the same, and the 3300MFP is $70 more. Let me see what's the cost of consumables for the Brother...

Recommend me a B&W multifunction printer

Our OKI MB280 machine needs a toner replacement, and my father wants to take the opportunity to throw it away. I don't blame him, since it has disappointed us on so many levels. We don't print all that much. Maybe 400 pages a month, only B&W. It's still a mystery to me how the last 5500 page...

Physically blocking access to ports

I find that it is sometimes desirable to physically stop an IO port from being used. Sometimes it's faulty onboard LAN that you've replaced with a PCI card, sometimes a faulty PS/2 port, sometimes a broken USB cluster on the back panel that could cause a short if used, and I imagine that in...

Any objections to PowerColor 5770?

The fan on the PCS+ version is a little bit different from the version I am looking at but it's reassuring to know that your card is quiet. Thanks!

Any objections to PowerColor 5770?

Thanks, I am also leaning toward the 1GB edition. It is just that the third party coolers (and sometimes custom PCBs) are always source for confusion. I guess that is inevitable in this market because it is the only way for board partners to cut costs, differentiate themselves from the...

Any objections to PowerColor 5770?

Thanks all for sharing your positive experience with PowerColor. I'm buying in Israel, so I pick from what is available here. I don't see the $135 Sapphire card here, there is a 512MB edition with that nice cooler -- the 512MB cards are cheaper, but would it be a good idea to skimp on RAM...

Any objections to PowerColor 5770?

cusideabelincoln: I think the only other reasonable option is a 5750. I try to make room for the 5770 within the budget. For this chip, I have the alternatives of HIS 5770 1GB H577FK1GF or Connect3D 5770 1GB C3D-H5770-1GD5E, but other brands are more expensive. Thanks.

Any objections to PowerColor 5770?

I spec out a gaming PC for a friend. Base specs are: Intel Core i3-540 Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L. It is an ATX board. I may install a USB 3 add-in card later on. 1 x Kingston DDR3-1333 2GB. I may uprade the RAM (buy a 4GB module) when it gets cheaper. For graphics I think about getting this...

DP55WB shortcomings?

I'm not sure about the choice of HSF. There's the Ninja 2, which is now compatible with socket 1165, and the Noctua NH-U12P, which is $18 more here in Israel. I personally have not used either before, because up until now the Freezer 7 Pro worked for me with dual core builds, but I believe the...

DP55WB shortcomings?

I've come across some combo deals that include this motherboard and I am wondering if it is any good. http://www.intel.com/Products/Desktop/Motherboards/DP55WB/DP55WB-overview.htm I'd be using it for a Revit workstation build paired up with a lower end Lynnfield (750/860), and a low to...

Micro ATX board

Nevermind, avoid the Gigabyte board. The PCI-E x16 slot on it is x4 electrical.

Edimax "nLITE" USB adapter: any good?

Hi, I need to get a wireless adapter for a desktop. I was looking at the tried and true EW-7128g PCI card, but then I noticed this draft-n USB adapter, which is only a tad pricier, and wondered if it wouldn't be a better choice at this point. Has anyone tried it yet...

Gigabyte P55M UD2

I agree, this board seems no good for CF.
