    Logitech Wireless USB Mouse Randomly Freezing

    Hey, I'm having the exact same problem. I've checked the regular items, new batteries, different usb ports, etc. Mine though is with the Microsoft Arc Mouse. I found this post: http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/85887-microsoft-wireless-arc-mouse-problems.html It seems to be as...

    NAS with SSH capability

    As an alternative to a Linux server, I've been trying to use Cygwin on my home desktop to do the same thing, tunnel my internet trafffic using SSH through my home IP so it's secure and unrestricted. I've been following this article, it might come in handy for you...

    Looking for a good headset around $100 USD

    I've been using a turtle beach X1 for a little over a year now. It's done me really really well. It's a wired 360 headset that doubles for the PC as well. It has it's own control for volume, as well as a seperate one for the voice output on the 360 so you can control that nicely (doing it...

    What Video game OST do you think is the best in the world?

    Nobuo Uematsu (sp?), the mind behind much of Final Fantasy's music, has done some pretty amazing stuff, namely FF VII.

    What card to buy?

    Just take a look at some of these benchmarks and you'll see the real benefit of the GTX 460. I understand you were looking at ATI cards, but this is an exception really worth your time. The 5770 sits underneath the 460 in every benchmark on this review and that's even the 768 MB version. If...

    Did I just bottleneck my GPU with my CPU?

    Sweet, so it was just me being paranoid, just after such an expensive purchase (for me, I'm a student who works retail, not exactly rich) I was starting to get really paranoid, but thanks for letting me know. And just fyi, I'll be running 1920*1080 most likely, so I think i'll be happy :D

    Did I just bottleneck my GPU with my CPU?

    I just purchased my first computer to assemble myself, put a lot of time into finding what I thought I wanted and what would fit my budget. I just came across the article here on building a well balanced setup that doesn't bottleneck anywhere. My question is relatively simple, I bought a i5...

    2 (or more)Wireless Xbox 360 Controllers for Windows on one PC?

    That's cool to know, I was always curious. But I just felt I should add, I'm pretty sure the "PC controller" and the "360 controller", are both actually the exact same thing in different packaging, or did you notice something that would prove otherwise?
