As long as you are only transcoding one video at a time. If you have multiple clients its transcoding for at a time..it can get pretty intense. Not sure if the OP has that need or not.

There are folding vesa mounts out there that you could put a standard vesa compliant lcd on and then it would fold.

Anyone have one of those? Been looking at them. Very hard to get one apparently. Invite only. Looks like killer screen/cpu, and larger than average battery for a good unlocked price. Trying to find out how to get one now!

Mit does offer a certificate series, though, in computer science that is very cheap. This XSeries consists of 7 courses: 6.00.1x Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python | Q4 2013, Q2 2014 ($50 - Waived for Fall 2013 students) 6.00.2x Introduction to Computational Thinking...

These are the three programs I would consider: MitX via edX, which is a set of like 7 classes that cover into to programming, data science, etc. Very thorough. I did the first 2 classes and feel they were worthwhile. The focus her is DEFINITELY on theory and they get pretty deep into...

I would wonder why someone working on a computer would need to open files to know there is illegal material. Obviously, if its certain things, most people would accept that its better for the person to report it. But it still doesn't make it right for people doing repairs to snoop on people's...

I've seen this bug fixed by clearing the bios even when no bios setting change would fix it. Easiest way to clear the bios is to remove the small watch battery from the motherboard, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes unplugged. There's usually a jumper to clear it...but easier to just remove the...

This build seems to be intentionally spec'd out to be expensive, without regard for anything else.

Yeah, but if I buy a new cpu, psu, and gpu...I'm basically buying a new system. So I wonder if I would be better off paying the extra for the motherboard and switching over to an intel build...

So this is my current system, built in 2011: Motherboard: BIOSTAR A770E3 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard GPU: HIS H667FS1G Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model PGD38G1333ELK CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640...

I talked to my boss recently about the possibility of creating a position with our office for a Business Analyst, which is a career path I've considered alot in the past. We're a quite large third party logistics provider. I have a degree in economics, so definitely come at this more from the...

I believe Fry's charges $50.

I was considering this as well not long ago. Easier to just mount everything to the underside of a table with a lip than build it into it though. A nice ITX case could be mounted underneath easily enough. Speakers mounted outward on the lip, and drill holes like a quarter inch apart so the...

Microsoft Word 2010 has the option built in to take a screenshot of just one window at a time and insert it into the document. You go to the insert tab on the ribbon and just click screenshot. Little thumbnails of all running programs appear,you click one, and its in the document. Very useful.

Ended up going with this instead for $79.99 w/ $10 MIR. The 9800gt was a zotac that was apparently underclocked. Newegg.com - HIS H667FS1G Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card Any thoughts? Still waiting for it to arrive.
