    Case with most 5.25 bays, to use multiple removeable Hard Drive bays?

    Hi Time to rebuild. I have a LOT of hard drives. Like to be able to move data between drives, and, need a LOT of multiple removable hard drive bays. Suggestions for cases that support the max number of hard drive bays, and don't sound like jet engines? Suggestions for server cases that would...

    8k TVs and Monitors

    What do you need for a video card to drive a 4k, 55 inch TV? 295 enough? What's the value for a large screen, 4k TV, at this point? No small stuff. Old and 45" minimum.

    Ting?

    Hi Clocker I may give TW a try. Problem is I need another phone, probably another Nexus 5X, if I can find one. Pixel would work, but too expensive for me. Can't afford to have problems with moving from Ting to TW.

    Trying to limit data use this month. See how the tricks work out. Last bill was around 65 dollars. Lots of auto updates with 5x, and, it gives you free storage on the cloud, but charges you for data transfer, and with 1 mb pics, adds up, quick, and it checks often. turned that off.

    Android 7.0 reviews?

    Hi Nice to be back, and thanks for the kind words. I was going to buy another 5X to see if I could get my gf into this century with a cell phone. Google Play only lists the Pixels, then the 5X is back at 200-250 for a little bit, then it's gone. At the 200-250 price, it's unbeatable, since it...

    Brother MFC 8660DN: New Drum, or buy another all in one laser? need a copier

    Was the DR520 the original drum in the printer? Yes, we copy and use that much. In two years, with massive litigation, we did that alone. Most is copying, or printing B and W from emails, documents etc. I'm just figuring out how to use the stuff we had in the estate, after a death.

    What does everyone think of A7? Comments, etc? Today, I tried to setup my gf's phone to use text, and it was not easy using Hangouts. Nexus 5X may have been the best value ever in a Google Fi phone, for the briefest period of time, ever. Got one, and it's pretty amazing...

    This is still mounted in the garage, with everything else going through the wall, with cables, correct? Last time I saw it, work of art, using 4k monitors. Amazing stuff. If things keep going well, I may be revamping mine.;_)

    Brother MFC 8660DN: New Drum, or buy another all in one laser? need a copier

    Hi Finding the drum is problematic, and, the DR 520 is around 150-200 dollars. We use it for copying, and some printing. Just bought a new toner cartridge. It's primary purpose is copying, since we have two other printers. So what I really need is a copier that is cost effective. Suggestions?

    My Samsung Mega sucks doing Lyft in the bay area. Poor bars, late reception, lots of bad zones. Same area, iphone, Sprint, same as Ting, 5 bars vs. none. I'm keeping the phone, but, the delay cost me time and money driving. I went with Google Fi, and a Nexus 5X 32 gig, and 250 bucks. That...

    Seem to remember something about Flip being the culprit. Apparently it's constant checking on a number of different internet connections, also can really eat up your data. In particular stock market checks.

    question Which Tablets

    I just inherited a Dell Venue 8 Pro. I don't get the tablet thing. Seems like my Samsung Mega works a bit better, and without Windows 8.1. Very small resolution... Hard to find things, many aren't manageable. Just don't get the whole tablet things.

    My SO cut her phone bill from Verizon 75 a month, for an Iphone, to around 25 a month, for two phones, one GSM one CDMA. If one doesn't work in an area, the other generally does, so, you save 50 dollars, and have coverage on two networks, Sprint and TMobile for 25 a month. Admittedly, she almost...

    Just got off Sprint: Lost my phone number. Seems it has to be active to switch to Ting. Of course they stop you from switching if it's active, by saying you owe money, even if you've paid them extra, which I did. Had to move my phone back to 4.4.2 to get the Ting number and service to work...

    Check into Google Fi with the Nexus 6. Problem with your question is recommendations should be based on your useage, and you don't have data to provide, since you don't use two of the three key factors in figuring cost. Ting offers the Tm network with a variety of phones, that can load Sim...

    Ting?

    I was wrong. 9 dollar bill. Just switched her iphone 4 over to Ting, because it's GSM. Anticipate that will be the phone that goes to Europe. Ting Now has GSM on TMobile's network, and CDMA on Sprints.
