    You did it wrong. Shoulda bought an mSata SSD, could've installed it along side HDD in its current location, and left DVD in. How is your optimus configured? My Sandybridge based Y470 get 4-6 hours websurfing, and watching movies. Games will push it down to 1-1.5hrs. Your system with Haswell...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Got mine in the mail from BestBuy yesterday, ordered it last Thursday. Worked out pretty well, recently got a 10$ best buy rewards coupon just because I hadn't bought anything in a while. So with shipping I paid $26. It's a pretty cool device. It's amazing for watching movie trailers, music...

    Media Scraper for TV/Movies

    I've had zero issues with Plex outside of weird stuff like Formula 1 races. Anything movie or tv it has close to 100% success on.

    What does that have to do with anything. Nvidia/AMD video cards come down to who has the better deal at your intended price point with the better game bundle, you can't really go wrong with either at the moment. AS for CPU's FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY GET AN INTEL. An i3 will be...

    Laptop Computers

    If the Y510p isn't small or portable enough get the Y410p. I've got a Y470, the 14" form factor for a gaming machine was why I originally bought it. The 14" or 13.3" are excellent sizes for a mobile, but still usable full time laptop. 15.6" is too clunky to move around, and 12" is too small for...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Truth. I got my car from them last April. Found it on their website, had it shipped up to their local location from Maryland for 250$. 2006 fully loaded top model Nissan Sentra with 44,000 miles for 11,800, and for 1300 dollars I tacked on a 300 (250 if brought to carmax) dollar co-pay Full...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    She likely cancelled the insurance, or wanted to before having to renew and not having the plates fucked that up.

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    For what it's worth my dad got hit with a big fine for not returning plates. CT is a mandatory insurance state. You also have to send back in plates to cancel a registration. I had a car that blew the engine, he cancelled the insurance, pulled the plates off it and forgot them in his truck. Got...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    DO NOT MAIL THE PLATES TO ANYONE. She has the title, meaning she legally owns the car. The second Titlemax has the plates she can go in and just demand them. I would not trust some sketchy loan shark to handle arbitration.

    Starmade - Minecraft in Space with ships

    Two roommates and I have a LAN server for it. Combat isn't great, but its acceptable. There's still a lot to be done with the game, hence Alpha. It's a really nice twist on the Minecraft formula for those of us who have been addicted to MC, but aren't finding that "magic" anymore.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I assume this "central panel" is a patch panel It's going to need a Network Switch to interconnect the runs to each room. The Modem/Router can be anywhere in the house as long as they can be connected to the central switch by a run. You will need them together. You cannot plug your modem...

    Starmade - Minecraft in Space with ships

    So, a friend sent me a link to this trailer two nights ago. Started playing earlier tonight with two roommates. Hooked. It's free for now, and still in Alpha. You explore space, make spaceships, space stations, take over planets. It's amazingly fun, and a testament to how far the minecraft...

    Laptop Computers

    Dedicated graphics, at least Nvidia are not a bad thing. With Optimus, they're graphics switching technology. The laptop primarily uses the CPUs graphics and only switches to the dedicated GPU for software you choose, like games. It's the best of both worlds. Haswell's gpu is defintely a big...

    What's the story behind your Rerolled name?

    EQ name generator came up with Brekkon, which I changed to Brekkun for my Cleric. Everyone just called me Brekk for short so it kind of stuck. For a few years I was EQBrekk in some games, but after enough time dropped the EQ as the game had fallen out of popularity by then. And brekk was just...

    Lenovo Outlet, Y series, older ones with Win7 by default. If you're stuck with Win8 make sure its Win8 pro. The key is also considered a legit Win7 Pro key so you can reinstall Windows 7 without paying for the OS.

    Desktop Computers

    If your processor is atleast an i5, or i7, regardless of generation its plenty of CPU for games. GPU is where the real limitations are these days. I've made peace with the fact that short of major hardware change ups I'm gonna be using my i5-2500K for years to come.

    Pussification in America: Political Correctness is Gay

    This. This. THIS. It's stupid for drug arrests, its stupid in schools. It's what happens when a government is more concerned with making a million laws then figuring out how to enforce them.
