    WD SN 560 questions

    I recently purchased a prebuilt PC (ASUS) that has a 1T M.2 hard drive. It came with Windows 11 preinstalled. Windows reports it as a Western Digital SN 560. I plan to partition it leaving about half the drive for Windows, Office, Photoshop or Gimp, drivers, antivirus, utilities etc. The...

    Thoughts on potential heat issues with a Dell mini tower

    I haven't run the system as yet. I was concerned it probably doesn't have much in the way of temperature monitoring. I'm sure I can get at least a 120mm in the front (with some cable management), and there is a decent amount of room above the videocard and in front of the stock cooler and fan...

    Thoughts on potential heat issues with a Dell mini tower

    I was asked to put a PC together for a family member. Budget was tight, so they opted for a used Dell i5 7010. Powersupply was swapped out for a EVGA 600w, 16GB ram added, a full sized RX 580 8G videocard was added, removed the original hard drive and replacing with an SSD for the OS and...

    Any impact on the future of hardware sales from high end GPU inflation?

    I was expecting more off the wall comments like: opposing parts manufacturing companies with kung fu gangs (old cheesy martial arts movies) street fighting to see who gets the next batch of nVidia chips. or, Mining = Skynet, the Terminators are comming! Prepare for the robot overlords.

    Any impact on the future of hardware sales from high end GPU inflation?

    Not exactly a serious topic, but just for fun: Do you think there has there been, or may be (and when) a decline in the sales of PC hardware due to the increased cost and scarcity of higher end video cards? If a decline in sales of motherboards, cases, ram, etc, what would be the likely...

    Best of luck with your ASUS rebates. I followed their instructions, event sent in duplicates, they rejected my rebate saying I failed to provide the required documents.

    WTB Outlook 2010

    I have Office Home and Student 2010 (no Outlook). I'd prefer just Outlook 2010, but if I have to would possibly be interested in a legit version of Office with Outlook 2010. If anyone knows a legit retailer where this could still be purchased, that'd be most helpful as well.

    Needing older version of Outlook

    Is there a legit place to purchase either the 2007 or 2010 version of Outlook? All I am finding from Microsoft sites is 2013. The reviews I've read indicate one of the older version might suit me better. I have 2010 Office and Student (it didn't come with Outlook). I don't want to have to...

    Recommed a case

    Case is from an HP that was given to me by a local shop, I was in need of a floppy drive and the manager gave me the floppy on condition that I also took the HP box out of his sight. Most parts were salvaged from a smoker's computer that had a video card die from nicotine and dust. Had to cut...
