The delta is only $20 now. Newegg must have read your post.

Thanks. The R4 is the first case I've ever owned that had decent cable routing options. It's a complete rat nest behind the motherboard tray but you can't see it. This. I've noticed that putting a SSD within a MHD cage is a HUGE waste of space. Eventually we'll see SSD only drive cages...

Foiled by five minute edit "feature" again. Anyways......here is a pic of the interior of my Fractal Design Refine R4 case. The upper five-bay HDD cage was removed. Also pic taken before the additional 140mm fans installed on the floor and in front above the white one. I ended up just...

I bought that very case for my Titan Super Rig (check sig). It is a very nice case, and fairly cheap as well. I got the pearl black/NO window for $120 plus shipping. Microcenter has them for $90 right now. It comes with two, and I bought two additional 140mm fans (3 intake/1 exhaust). All...

Any pics of these ladies?

I turned off hibernation and set the page file up on my MHD to a static size of 2048MB. Hopefully Windows won't rely on or use the page file, but for some goofy reason if it needs it, it'll be there. Check. Check. Check. Turned hib off. I'm storing all my data on the MHD as well as a 1TB...

I just found out why my fresh Win7 pro x64 install (w/1 game 16.5GB) is 95GB... WTH is Windows doing setting up a page file that frekkin HUGE when I have 32 GB of physical ram? And the hibernation file too? I think Windows should know it's installing onto a SSD and be a little more frugal...

You are both right of course. The thing is, when I really thought about it, I realized that I don't need a scanner. I just thought it would be nice to be able to re-claim some older hardware and have the option when and if I needed it. It was an interesting and frustrating project. I did...

Are any of the 827,000 "Drivers-R-US" sites on the internet any good/reliable or are they all malware/crapware distribution sites?

I'm can barely run Windows let alone Linux. LOL. So I'm probably SOL. I saw SANE during my google'ing and I thought THAT'S IT! Oh wait, no windows version. So twain drivers are vendor specific? HP writes a twain for their hardware. Canon writes a twain for their hardware etc? As far as...

Yeah I was thinking of "xp-mode" but was hoping to avoid it for simplicity sake. Does anybody know how Vuescan works? Some proprietary twain driver? Hard to believe Vuescan is the only software out there that works? Sigh. Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm trying to get an old flatbed scanner working on my new system and run into a snag. The scanner is a HP Scanjet IIcx (SCSI, 8.5"x14" real glass scan bed, 35.5 lbs, made in USA) attached to an Adaptec 2906 PCI SCSI card. The scanner/driver/software are pre-winXP vintage but XP-SP2 detects...

The last pope to retire did so in 1415, 598 years ago. Or perhaps proof that he knew about the child abuse YEARS before it came out. ...or... That Judgment Day is quickly approaching. My god, we just survived the end of the Mayan long-count calendar......now this!!!!!

For a while everybody was concerned that Merc needed to "get out more" and "meet more people/ladies"....well now that he's out and having a great time, everybody is concerned because he hasn't posted here in a week or three? Now if Merc and Handruin stopped posting because of their argument...

Not Free, according to this. Or am I missing something? /doh missed the post in the news section. Ignore.

This guy is not having a good day.

LMAO.

I have the Logitech Z623's hooked up to my TV and they sound pretty good to me. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121048 The right speaker has an aux input jack for MP3 players and whatknot and a headphone jack as well. And they don't look nearly as bad as the setup...

AFAIK my TV does not support 3D.

Well I bought a Panasonic Blu-ray DVD Player DMP-BDT220... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882103566 ...so now I just need to buy a BluRayDisk to be 100.00% sure. Any suggestions as to BluRay Media? Something epic? Perhaps...

I know you guys in here are really smart about these things and aren't going to be screwed over by the dealer but why the F^&@ is there so much bullshit involved with buying a car? If the average Joe thought he could walk into a dealer and really get an honest deal he'd probably buy a new car...

I really, Really, REALLY should. But I'm a very OCD-type person. And once again, thanks for all the useful info.

Thanks for the very quick reply Chewy. Like I said, I called Vizio and the guy never heard of HDCP. TV specs say "HDMI v1.4a incl. CEC/ARC" http://store.vizio.com/m420kd.html Cable box is Scientific Atlanta 8240hdc. Quick google says it's HDMI 1.0 or 1.1 (not sure). I seem to be getting...

Does my HDTV support HDCP ??? Does it need to? I really don't know crap about this stuff so sorry for novice questions. I just upgraded my cable TV from basic, no-cable-box, SD-quality, basic-only service to HDTV service w/ HDTV cable box/DRV combo. At first I got a "...your HDTV does not...

Looking to pick up a new wireless router with better range and speed. Is there anything new on the wireless router front? I know about -g and -n but is -a and -b the future? I would like four gigabit ports and USB port(s) for a HDD and/or a printer. Price not that important, speed, range...

I'm not offended in the least. Just about every electronic product ever produced has a small group of people who are extremely disappointed with the product and the company that produced it. Costco has a pretty good return policy. 90 day return to the store and Costco extends the...

And the winner is: I finally bought a TV. I only had three decent 40-42" sets to choose from at my local Costco as I didn't want a lower-tier or "off-brand" set. 1) 42" Vizio M420KD. $600. http://store.vizio.com/m420kd.html 2) 40" Samsung UN40EH5050F. $670...

A link would be nice. Also, any decent web sites/forums (HardOCP or Anandtech, etc), that have objective reviews of TVs. Seems MOST "review" sites are simply a conglomeration of specs with links to etailors (paid links=good reviews?). Thanks for the info.

40" from Costco Well I went to a Costco today and I think I'm going to bump up my future TV to 40". Even though the TV will only be 7' away (at the foot of my bed) the 32" ones just seemed too small. Of course I was always the person who sat in the 2-5th row at the movies (went I went to the...

Just saw this on BoingBoing and thought I'd throw it out there. Looks like CISPA is another SOPA only worse :(( http://boingboing.net/2012/04/13/facebook-supports-horrible-pro.html I know a good percentage of active users here don't use the F&$#-Book (as I call it) but it's good to know who...

Wow, thanks for all the info guys. I have a lot of reading/googling/studying to do.

I think I see 10 commercials a day (from 10 different law firms) regarding mesothelioma and now we have lawyers going after keyboard manufacturers? What's next, "Are you dissatisfied and unable to achieve release from your gay-beastality-interracial-snuf porn? Call xyz-scumbag-lawyers(tm) Now...

Thanks for the quick response. I'll definitely need to work the google and get more info. I was thinking 32" because my viewing distance will be about 7' (foot of my bed) but if I need to step up to 40" to get the quality/features I want I can do that. TV will be on the same wall as the only...

What's the best 32" 1080p LED TV? Not too concerned about price. If it's super quality/lots of options I'll pay the premium. I don't own (and have no plans on buying) any surround sound/audio gear. I may hook up a decent sounding 2.1 computer speaker set to the analog audio out port. I...
