IMO The biggest problem with consumer laptops is the power connector, they're designed so flimsy. Make sure she knows not to bend/twist the cable when she's away from her desk, keep the cord straight out and no tension on it. Usually the USB ports are fine as long as things aren't plugged in while m...

Leave her on Win 8.1 and install something like Start8. Gives the (few) advantages to 8.1 but with the classic start menu and boot to desktop. I think the only time I've ever seen the new UI is for the pdf reader, but that's because I haven't installed acrobat reader lol

I believe in the 915, the cages that comes with it are removable, but I'll verify tonight. Looking at the pics, I see four screws on the bottom, two on the front panel, and four on the top in the area of the drive cage. I can verify tonight though.

Bummer, hope your neck gets better...

Nothing really, everything the finance was going to get me, I bought when I found it on sale LOL She was a little upset at me I'm a bit of a pain in the rear I guess...

Logitech G930 Wireless Headphones
3TB Hard Drive
Cologne
Slippers

That's the type of drive I pictured when I first heard about the "Hybrid" drives, instead of a it being a caching drive.

Merry Christmas to everybody...

What'd you get? Anything fun and exciting?

I have a pair of these and they are really nice and light, I switched to using them a the gym. However, when I'm working the problem I had is the battery time, working 10 hours days in a noisy server room I always have headphones in, I get there are 7AM and they don't come out until until 5PM the ba...

I was using a THICK monster cable, swapped it out for a cheap thinner monoprice hdmi cable, and saw no difference on anything. Even watching Avatar 3D at 60". Recently swapped those cheap hdmi cables for the monoprice hdmi with redmere (wanted the thin cables) and still no difference. Unless yo...

Blacklist sites, UAC (as much as we all hate that), proxy settings, lock down ie options so they can't change them, set the security level lower.

lol yea, just drives me up the wall felt like venting

So decided to take a few days off at the minute as "me" days. Get a few things done, play some games, etc. First night (last night), instead of relaxing it was spent getting sick, shivering and being all around restless. WHY!!!!!! LOL Oh well, gives me a few days to recover before going ba...

Yup, that it would...then Zalman would be upside down LOL heheeheh Or does that part rotate?

I like how the Zalman Reserator 3 looks, but IMHO the tubes are on the wrong side. If this is in a case that I'm showing the system off, I don't want the tubes in front of the CPU block. With so much being nearly equal on these AIO coolers, the way it looks once installed is a big factor.

Have you checked your event viewer to check your boot times, and see what is taking the time? I wrote a document on how to check it for work, I can put it here if you'd like. It comes in handy to see what is exactly taking the time to load at boot.

I've had many Toshiba/Hitachi drives last for many, many years...this one is tempting to grab a couple. $89 is the lowest price I've seen for a 3TB drive, wish the 3TB WD Red drives were that price though LOL

I've used a few of ECS boards in the past three or four years, and their quality has greatly increased. Wish I could remember the models but I go through too many systems to remember them all LOL

Yea, with some of the fast 2.5" mechanical drives, really don't need the larger drives, except for the price LOL 2TB 3.5" Mechanical: $80 2TB 2.5" Mechanical: $150+ Maybe I'll start wearing gloves when handling the cases to avoid the fingerprints LOL Never noticed them until you said ...

Tethering would be nice but I am not giving Sprint any more money since my phone is worthless at home. You could TRY to get them to provide you a broadband extender, but you'd have to argue with them for a while. My phone is pretty worthless at home as well, Verizon wants me to buy the extender for...

Tired of yanking the Cooler Master Sirius 5.1 puck off my desk or choking myself when I forget I have my headset on... So I'm looking to change to a wireless set...any opinions on the two "first choices"? Or better options in the same price range ($150)? I thought about Thermaltakes Sybari...
