    What broke? Need a little guidance...

    Thanks for the info. It’s not on the carpet, it’s on a raised stand. There’s space all the way around it and it has good airflow. Can’t check the temps right now as I’m not getting Windows to even recognize that it’s there. This room is somewhat sealed off from the rest of the house, so the...

    Two problems, I don't know what to do.

    First, my desktop pc takes forever to load Windows. I ran the memory test and it didn't find any issues. It's been loading for over 30 minutes now. Second, I transplanted the desktop into a smaller case. I plugged everything back in where it was, and my 2tb storage drive is not showing up...

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    I still have my desktop. I'm actually using the larger monitor as a dual screen setup for iRacing with the laptop. The desktop still performs very well, even though I built it in '09. But I needed to be able to get away from the desk itself. For, it has all my storage and will be used as a...

    Bluetooth True Wireless and gaming

    I've been looking for a set of TWS earbuds for gaming, but I've seen in the comment on some that there may be a latency issue. Does anybody here use them? Any issues? Which ones are you using? I'm not looking for anything pricey, just something that will have decent sound quality. Thanks.

    https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000C-01BA9?Item=9SIAA0SBA43702 Much more than I wanted to spend, but it has everything I wanted/needed. So far I'm very pleased with it, although I still have adjustment period. I have a cheaper/slower laptop that I keep in the workshop, but that's hardly used and...

    I want to set my old pc up for storage

    After tooling around with it I think I have a completely different problem altogether. I can't find the desktop pc on the network from the laptop. This seems to tie into some other issues I've had with the desktop. The desktop it wired to the router, everything else is wireless. I can't even...

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    Coffee table, kitchen, deck, etc. I do a ton of photo editing and some video as well and she doesn't like it that I'm tied to my desk. That said, I did raise my budget a bit and found my new laptop. Using it now actually.

    I want to set my old pc up for storage

    I have my old pc with my pictures and videos on it, and a new laptop that I'm going to be using full time now. I'd like to be able to access the older pc whenever I want to access the media on it, and to move new stuff to it when needed. I see that Windows 10 no longer makes it easy to do that...

    Looking for suitable case

    The case I have right now is just too big and bulky. I'm looking to switch to a laptop, and retire my former gaming rig to a storage rig. I need the smallest case I can to fit an MSI B85M-G43 motherboard and four or more hard drives.

    I'm very conflicted, my wife is convinced I need a laptop.

    I need a gaming laptop, or so my wife thinks. She wants me to get away from my desk. I found this, which pretty much has what I need it to have. I feel like I can do better, so I'm asking you. https://www.newegg.com/p/2WC-000C-01BB5?Item=9SIAA0SBA43708 I'll be gaming and doing video/photo...

    Printing problems

    Right place? Move if needed I guess. I have an HP 6962 that has been a thorn in my side. First it won't stay connected. (That may be rooted in my garbage AT&T Gateway) When I am connected and I try to print, I get an error message that it won't print. No code. When I open the printer queue...

    Lenovo WiFi Issues

    Yes. It was plugged in when she first had the problem, and I unplugged it to move it over to my desk to work on it.
