This one looks good - but hard to source (second hand keyboards are pretty eww): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126029 Also, found this interesting; http://uberoptions.net/logitech-protocols from this list - you'd want a 2.4ghz mouse/keyboard without a bluetooth or …

I have an I/O Gear USB 4-port KVM and it too does not work with any of my Logitech Unified USB Receivers. My wired Microsoft Natural KB however works fine so this tells me it has to be a WIRED USB Mouse and KB in order to work properly in this KVM device 🙁
Re: Adware and AdBlock on browser gaming

All the browser games I have ever played have ways of detecting when you're blocking the ads that support the game. If you're not a paid player and you're blocking the ads, then you're stealing their server time and will be banned before too long. Well I can see that happening, guess they don't …

Except that it's not always a case of people making the choice. It can sometimes be a case of one business using unethical business practices to drive all competition out of the market. Case in point. Creative vs Aureal. Creative sued Aureal knowing full well that they couldn't win and bankrupted …

Isn't Google HQ in California? I don't get how the E.U. has any sway over them. They don't. What they can do is place political pressure on the US Government to intervene in their favour. Or better yet, Google can just pull their services out of *all* other countries but the US and tell the rest of …

Re: GPU Fan Replacement Advice
Posted on 2014-10-02, 06:10
OK, I'm a dunderhead. I had an older Gigabyte HD-7970 with the same heatsink/fan combination as my GHZ Edition GPU and I kept it even though it was non-working, in case I needed any parts. Well I can scavenge the fan assembly from it and then cleanup the current heatsink and apply new thermal grease …
GPU Fan Replacement Advice
Posted on 2014-09-28, 03:19
So I have the following GPU in my gaming rig: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4290#ov It's a triple fan configuration but the center fan is failing, it looks to be one of the frameless type, about 70 ~ 80 mm I think. Anybody know if there are replacement fans or GPU heatsink/ …
Re: How to tell if a big box PC game has been resealed?

Back in my C64/C128/Amiga days, I worked for a local mail order company that would by huge lots of software, not just games but pretty much every type of software. Sometimes the shrink wrap would come torn but the box was in fine shape. We had a couple of Heat Shrink stations along with the …

btw dosbox works faster with cycles max 105% (105 is actually 95%, while 100 is 90). It was left like that to be comparable with older dosbox versions that had 90% limit. 90 was called 100 so that people don't ask how to set 100. What if you set cycles max 110%? Just like Spaceballs One you go to …
Re: Watch a bunch of modern kids try use an Apple ][

I don't see how this is any different from kids in the 1970s reacting to an Apple II. It's foreign and imposing and has a learning curve. Ah yes that dreaded learning curve, which is true, however I think a lot of people now a days, regardless of age will give up quite quickly. You see that want …

I actually agree with the ''PC engineer''. Using 2 PSU on the same machine sounds like risky and bad practice. Also, I do not see how it would help for a overheating molex pin, that should signal a bad connection. Well I disagree, as long as you have a common ground link between the two PS units …

I am getting somewhere with the problem now, just removing the Roland LAPC-I card was not enough, I had to remove it from device manager as well, as soon as I did this, problem solved! so there is obviously a conflict between the two cards even thought the Roland is not a sound card as such it's a …
