    Steam Deck

    Did anyone get theirs yet? If so, how are you liking it? I did my preorder on July 16th, 2021 and yesterday I got a notification mine was ready to ship. Ordered it. I went with the 512GB. Super excited to see how this thing ends up playing out.

    USB 3.0 Splitter or PCI-e card?

    I recently bought a USB 3.0 Card reader for my new build. Well, I think it was a mistake. Not thinking, I assumed my PC had an extra USB 3.0 connection available. Well, it doesn't. The external 3.0 ports on my case were taking up the one port the motherboard did have. Any options other than...

    New GPU recommendation

    I'm looking to upgrade my GTX560 to something with a bit more powerful... Having to run BF4 at 60% resolution is killing me. I'm an nVidia guy, so I'm currently looking at the GTX 770 4GB. With that said... I'm hesitant to pull the trigger due to timing of the next GeForce release. Is buying...

    Relationship advice... not typical.

    Uh, how can I make this short. Met a girl back in Oct of 2011 in my class. I was in a relationship, she was married and had a child (you know where this is going). One thing led to another and we've been talking up until recently. Both of us were in bad relationships, and yes, we both...

    At my wits end with my PC, keeps shutting off

    Long story short. Basically from like 2006 I've been having power problems. Damn near my whole computer has been changed out. It's not even the same machine anymore except for the wireless card. Before I bought an SSD I had issues with it turning on. I'd hit the power button the machine...

    Well, my original RAID setup finally started to take a dump. Files couldn't be removed/installed without errors, BSOD's, and failures to boot. Amazon convieniently had a deal on SanDisk Extreme SSDs, Long story short, I went with the 240GB which NewEgg sells for $240. Got mine from Amazon...

    My $60 Go-Peds

    Long story short, when I was young I had a red sport Go Ped. Around 2008/2009 I bought two more then sold them. Driving home one day I look and see a guy selling some ****. I'm like, are those Go Peds? So I turn around stop, and sure enough they are. They looked pretty rough... well, they...

    Got a new laptop for school ASUS UX31 Ultrathin

    Holy crap. I've been eyeing this thing for about a month now (school starts in January), had been meaning to pull the trigger on Amazon.com but I was gonna wait a little longer. Went to Worst buy today and saw they had the Toshiba ultrathin, looked nice, but had the i3, was made of plastic...

    CPU Limited

    I think my trusty Core 2 Duo is on its last leg. I currently have an E8400, Abit IP-35 Pro, and 4GB of ram. After playing on my friends i5 quad core & GTX 460 machine I realized how crappy mine was. I tried lowering settings and game resolution and it didn't make a difference so I knew I was...

    Dilemma - Interview for Job in a City 3 hrs away

    I got laid off 5/1/11 from the City of Fresno. I've been trying pretty hard to find something, had 2 interviews right off the bat but didn't get them, partly because I didn't know much about the questions they asked. Anyway, I've been applying where ever I can and I now I have an interview for...

    Worth getting Droid X2?

    :bleh: Contemplating getting a new phone, the DX 2 is pretty nice. My only issue is the locked bootloader, but that seems a trend that is going on now. HTC is considering not locking but it's not gonna happen right now. So what's your opinion, DX2, qHD, Tegra 2...? I know there's no 4G or FF...

    Getting laid off

    4 years of service with the City of Fresno and due to budget cuts, my position has been eliminated. Since they pretty much eliminated all Engineering Technician II's I had no bumping rights, and since I didn't hold any positions lower I couldn't bump into that. The one thing that pisses me off...

    My review: Samsung Galaxy Tab

    :p hey don't be grading me on this :lol: I don't write reviews. It’s too small!! It’s too big for a phone!! It’s too expensive!! Google says Android isn’t meant for tablets!! Seems to be what a lot of people are saying to bash the Tab, whether they have actually used / seen the device we do...
