    Nintendo To Post Unexpected Loss As Wii-U Falters

    I picked up a Wii U a few days ago, mostly as an impulse purchase. After using it for a bit I will say I like it and I think there's potential but I also understand why sales are a bit slow. I think the biggest problem at the moment is that there really aren't very many games for it. New...

    I no longer hate Sprint

    I've been using Sprint for at least a decade and while I'll concede their cell service is pretty weak I've been pleased with them overall. One cool thing about Sprint is that you can fully integrate your Google Voice account with the Sprint service. So now all my texts and voicemails come...

    SC Governor Admits Hacking Errors

    As a resident of South Carolina I don't find the title sensationalist at all because it is precisely what happened. The government's initial response left a lot to be desired (setting aside the whole fact that this scenario should have been prevented anyway). Nikki Haley on 10/30/2012: “(The...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    I used this site when I was deciding between the different manufacturers and models: http://www.swiftworld.net/2012/04/14/budget-korean-27-ips-monitor-information-and-comparison-of-the-different-brands-and-models/

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    Good for you, I know you'll enjoy it. I didn't go for the SquareTrade warranty in my particular case because this monitor is purely for games, if it dies it doesn't cost me business-wise and honestly I'm pretty cheap when it comes to extended warranties. I don't think it's a bad idea to protect...

    Achieva Shimian QH270| $400 IPS 2560x1440 Korean Monitor

    This wasn't directed at me but I noticed you hadn't gotten a response and I received my Crossover 27Q a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd share. I bought from Green-Sum on a Sunday and the monitor was delivered via DHL on Friday, so the shipping wasn't quite as fast as others have...

    I don't want to be the first one to load a map anymore...

    A lot of us are in similar situations but using Steam Mover to transfer our Steam games between our SSD's and mechanical hard drives negates the problem. I'm pretty sure it works for non-Steam games as well, though I've never tried.

    Wishlist for Steam Summer Sale

    I missed the sale last year so I'm working on building my backlog for the next year+. Here's what I've picked up so far with some notes: Age of Empires 3 complete franchise pack. Really like AoE games and I've only played this one for brief periods. It'll kill a couple weekends no question...

    Hardware failure?

    Thank you for reporting back Tuf, I'm glad to hear things are working. I hope that by swapping the card to a different port solved your problem, but on the off chance the problem comes back in a couple weeks try unplugging your PS again for about 10 minutes then plugging it back in and starting...

    Hardware failure?

    This might sound like a silly suggestion but I was experiencing a similar problem a few months ago. I thought it was my power supply but I read online that it could be my graphics card. Give this a shot: Power down your computer and unplug your power supply from the wall outlet for five minutes...

    Nvidia display stopped working but recovered

    I have a 560ti and I used to experience the same problems. My fix isn't what I'd call "acceptable" in a traditional sense but it does allow me to use my card without the constant freezing or driver errors. The first thing I'd ask you to do is power off your PC, then unplug your PS (or flip...

    pc went up in smoke (literally) - looking for advice.

    This is helpful, thank you. I've thrown an older PSU and GPU in my upgraded machine and it seems to be running fine, sans the occasional blue screens. I actually think the blue screens are a different problem since I have a SandForce SSD and the freezes seem consistent with SandForce problems...

    pc went up in smoke (literally) - looking for advice.

    This is actually an interesting thread because I upgraded an old computer with a Corsair 650 watt PSU this weekend and it fried itself. Went from a Core2Duo 3ghz, 4gb ram and 250gb mechanical hard drive to an i5-2500k, a Z68 board, 8gb ram and a OCZ Vertex 128gb SSD. Graphics card was a GTX260...

    New User! powermac G3?

    Yeah 10.3 is the highest you should go on a G3. Also max out the ram. We have an iMac G3 (graphite version) and it runs well enough until you go to 10.4. Maxed the ram to a gig I believe. iTunes and such run fine, but you might also want to dump a new, bigger hard drive in there, although...
