Disagree. I don't believe people to be predetermined to have certain non physical limitations or qualities. We all develop uniquely and can work towards what we want to achieve. No one is born already knowing programming, so the very statement "Programmers are born, not made." doesn't make...

I use Isopropanol for cleaning just about all of my electronics. For a plastic computer screen, I use ~20%-30% dilution, keyboards/mice and cases about 50%, and components such as motherboards or processors I use the highest percentage I can get a hold of; usually 91-99%. Of course, everything...

This can provoke some interesting responses. As far as needing, need is determined by if you truly require something, which can be entirely different for all of us. I believe that having a mobile phone of some sort can be invaluable, but it's really dependent on your life style. I live in a...

I think PPM meant to type "Buying is always better unless you want to invest more than say 400 bucks in a system." I think it's worthwhile to consider this build: ~$170 more iBuyPower 'Build Your Own' Gaming Desktop Bundle - Walmart.com Choosing all of the cheapest parts, I was able to get a...

Re: Today I have... Thanks, I'll look into that once my Finals are over with. From a glance it looks pretty simplified which is just what I need seeing as some of the textbooks I have looked at seem written as more of a refresher to electronics rather than a true introduction. Do you think it...

If you do decide to go with the Hyper 212 Evo, I can say with 100% certainty that it fits in a Corsair Carbide 200r, as I am using it right now. However, you will not have room for a side mounted fan, so if you want to do that with a 120mm fan you can do what I did and put the fan on the outside...

Just an update, here is a UK cyberpower, and ibuypower does not seem to ship to the UK. https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/category/laptop Those MSI laptops look great, but I can't find them under about 750 euros and having a GT 740M or better. If you want the highest performance for the...

Re: Today I have... Do you do electronics repair? I have been looking into working with electronics recently, but have only repaired Nintendo DS Lites, and have taken apart a couple of broken electronics. I have acquired an interest in electronics but I find it hard to locate a formal starting...

I don't have experience with sony, but I have fixed a few Nintendo hand helds. Usually when they are left unused for a period of time longer than 6 months the battery can have issues. I would simply buy a replacement battery and try that instead of the pandora battery as that is to mod firmware...

Ultrabook is actually an official term with requirements set by intel. Ultrabook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many people don't seem to understand that an ultrabook is an actual specification and use it as a generic term for thin and or efficient laptop. I have even seen AMD laptops...

The rules is a good place to start. Tech & Computer Forums - Announcements in Forum : Forum Admin, Announcements & Feedback If you have already read that, here is a list of some Tech-Forums mod/admins that you can contact. http://www.techist.com/forums/group.php?groupid=6 The list is a little...

I really like the Sennheiser 518, however the bass is not super deep. It has moderate bass with an overall dark tonal signature. I recommend that you use an AMP with it if you do not already have one. Depending on your setup, if this is for use with a computer you could get an ASUS Xonar DG, or...

That is a unique video cars that is able to shut off certain parts of itself to achieve a good overall power efficiency, despite it's load power draw. I'm guessing that you seeing the core clock at 300Mhz is a function of this feature. Have you checked the core clock during gaming/under load...

I'm willing to bet that it's your adaptor. Could you use a friend's DVI monitor and see if DVI works then? As in: Get a DVI monitor, keep the video card hooked up and plug the DVI cable with no adaptor into the video card, then try to boot the PC. Edit: ninjad by Mguire

Back to the build... This build is good, but you may want to get some of your parts from elsewhere. There are two Microcenters in Atlanta and Microcenter tends to compete with Newegg, I know they match and beat Processor and Motherboard prices (especially with thier $40 off bundle deal) but...
