I have an external harddrive connected to my desktop. I use a program when I'm bored that parodies all my important folders on my computer onto the external drive. The odds of both dying at the...
First off with cloud services like dropbox my photo backup is done automatically after snapping a picture on my phone. This in turn gives me a local copy which i can then easily backup. Also files...
edit I ran the stress command for 5 minutes and temps immediately began climbing
Yeah I personally wouldn't spend a cent on that. But, it could be a good learning experience for the future taking it apart. That being said it looks like your socket 754 has some cheap cpus on...
Well the e8600 is running now and still get tearing in vlc. didn't notice any in parole but don't have enough time to test fully now. i am on xubuntu btw.
I just swapped out a e7400 for an e8600 on an old dell and would like to keep an eye on the temps. So I installed lm-sensors and the xfce4-sensors applet and so far it just seems to give me a static...
I would just like to watch video on my 1920x1080 monitor in vlc without any tearing or "graininess"
How about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125681&ignorebbr=1 not sure if i can still use the pciex1 slot next to it based on the picture. it looks like fan is relatively thin
Just the normal 530. I doubt it can deliver more than 300w. I got the entire system for $60 so don't feel like spending more than the cost of the entire system for a gpu so that would pretty much...
I just got this pc and want to upgrade it to perform better. I already grabbed an e8600 for $20 and was hoping to get something better than the hd3450 in it without upgrading the psu. Any...
Edit alsa mixer let's me switch back and forth but not that's not very elegant
Front panel works fine. Not sure if I got a bad sound card I'm guessing not because front panel works great. But only option in volume control is headphones. Any idea what could be going on?
Ok everything works fine via hdmi but not vga. I want to use vga because the 2 hdmi inputs are occupied by xbox one and ps4. Any easy fix? Besides sleeping the computer instead of rebooting? ...
Well able to get full resolution through xrandr but it doesn't persist through reboot. Any ideas how to fix that?
I have an old dell with a hissing built in sound card. I have 2 pci slots and a mini pcie slot leftover. Any recommendations for something cheap? Don't really care about sound quality just want...
It is an addon card. I didn't even know the computer came with a dedicated chip. I found out the hard way when I tried to connect to the onboard vga and thought the computer was dead because the...
It's an optiplex 530 with an e7400,4gb ddr2, and 250gb harddrive. Normal price was $80 but vendor gave me $20 off because I had a psu die on my from a pc i got from him and replaced it out of...
Bought a dell for $60 on ebay because I had some credit from a vendor who I bought from before and had a part fail. lspci outputs

Dropbox camera upload. Automatically uploads my pictures to my dropbox folder which also creates a local file on my computer as well. Good enough for me but, i don't really take important pictures....
I already had a netbook lying around for that purpose running 24/7 for months on end just fine.
True about in built obsolescence but if i had to rely on a computer from 20 years ago as my only computer I would go insane. Heck a family member offered me this one for free today and I don't even...
My sony bluetooth headphones with nfc that I got on black friday for half off that i use every day
I guess you're right i could just move 1 of the sticks left or right to test it. The system I'm talking about is an optiplex 780 sff by the way. I bought the system without ram for $60 or so and...
I hear that ram operates best if you use it in dual channel mode. But how much would I suffer if I added 2gb ram as a buffer in slot 3 on my motherboard? Right now I'm using 2x2gb. My motherboard...
