Guys, looking for some advice on a HTPC build. I've been using an aging Dell Inspiron 1525 for a while. It provides streaming such as the Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, as well as the downloads PC (to external hard drive), and some casual gaming for the wife while I'm studying. For this project I want to keep costs within reason (and sanity) so I'm thinking about reusing some parts I have left over from upgrading friends/family's pc's. Motherboards on hand: I did some preliminary googling and I wanted to purchase a case before the Christmas 2013 rush kicks in. This case really caught my eye, SilverStone Crown CW03 ( http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=161&area=en) but good lawd @ the price ( US$ 720). Granted it comes with a 7" touchscreen, but really, that's just crazy. So, can anyone recommend a case, locally, that I can start this project off with? Also, has anyone locally heard about or used this, Ceton InfiniTV 4 as mentioned in this page; http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/how-to-build-home-theater-pc-htpc/Might be interesting to integrate with Flow digital cable and unlock some PVR capabilities.

Didn't want to mix this in with the all purpose thread. Problems are arising with Sony's latest update to the PS3, according to comments on the official PlayStation forum.
The new firmware update may brick your console; beware!
Several user comments on the PlayStation forum have stated that the latest 4.45 update is causing a lockdown on their consoles. User JadeTreeInWind, for example, said that after the PS3 logo was on display post update, the crossbar menu would not show up. The user tried restarting the console, but the same problem still persisted.
Reports on the thread stated that PS3s over 500GB were affected by the error. One of the main features of the new update is to allow users to disable trophy notifications during gameplay.
GameSpot has reached out to Sony for comment and will update this article as more information surfaces. SourceUpdate: The 4.45 firmware update has been taken down from the site. Sony Computer Entertainment is currently fixing the problem. Users are advised not to update their PS3s until further notice.

Looking to upgrade mom's PC for her. She only has 1GB of DDR2-800 memory at the moment as the other stick died recently.
Looking for another 1GB of DDR2-800 or even a pair of 2GB sticks as that would keep her machine in the clear for some time to come.

Messenger users who want to continue to use Microsoft's instant messaging service have to get the current version of Skype.Microsoft's Messenger service is coming to an end. In the first quarter of 2013, Messenger will no longer be available as a separate service in all regions except mainland China, the company announced this week.
Microsoft is folding Messenger into its Skype voice-over-IP service, according to an announcement made on Tuesday.
Within Skype, there's currently a Messenger-like user interface available to carry out instant messaging, along with voice calls. To aid the shift, Microsoft is assuring Messenger users that they can get their contacts automatically populated into Skype. Those who already have both Messenger and Skype accounts can merge them via the Skype signup process, available here.
Current Messenger users who want to continue to use Microsoft's instant messaging service have to get the current version of Skype, which requires the use of a "Microsoft account" signup.
Microsoft account is the new name for Microsoft's Windows Live ID. That ID is used for consumer applications such as Microsoft's Hotmail (now Outlook.com), SkyDrive and Messenger services, among others. If a Windows Live ID user had used an e-mail address and password as the basis of their Windows Live ID, then they also "already have a Microsoft account," according to a Microsoft description.
The Microsoft account is more than just a name change for Windows Live ID. A Microsoft account shares information across Microsoft's services. In May, Chris Jones, vice president of the Windows Live Group at Microsoft, explained that with a Microsoft account, "your contact list is shared across Windows Phone, Windows 8, Hotmail, Messenger, and SkyDrive, so when you add a contact in one place, it shows up in the cloud and on all of your other devices and services." Similarly, if a user connects their Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter accounts with their Microsoft account, then those contacts will show up across Microsoft services.
Microsoft's commercial-grade instant messaging service is available as a pop-up option when users hover their mouse cursors over an e-mail sender's name in the Outlook 2010 e-mail client. Other instant messaging options for businesses include using the Microsoft Office Communicator client in conjunction with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. The Lync client can also be used for instant messaging by Microsoft's business customers via Lync Server 2010 or the hosted Lync Online service offered via Office 365. Lync Server 2010 is the successor product to Office Communications Server 2007 R2. SOURCESee also: http://blogs.skype.com/en/2012/11/skypewlm.html

I wanna to decide what to do with my current rig and selection of graphics cards, so I thought I'd throw it up on the board for a lil discussion, since I'm trying to cast Life on my main rig, and stop using my work laptop all the time.  I am wondering what combination of GPU's to use. I have a 8800GS 384MB, a HD4850 2GB, and a HD5770 2GB I initially thought about keeping the 8800GS for PhysX, but none of the games I play use PhysX at the moment.  Then I was thinking about doing CrossFire with the two Radeons, but my research showed that mixing the two may not be possible or even worth the effort. So my fellow techies, what are your thoughts

Hi all,
Throwing this out to see if anyone can assist. I've got a database assignment to do in Access (since it's the easiest to use) and I was wondering if any members got any experience developing stuff for it.
I need to create an interface for my database, as well as develop some reports for it to output.
Post here if you can be of any assistance. Thanks

Topic says it.
PS3 with what appears to be a bad lens. Need to know if it can be fixed locally (JK ?) or if it needs to go foreign.
Also, an estimate of the repair would aid in deciding whether to fix or buy a new one.

 Guys, I was almost done with my new build and tragedy struck! A quick recap of my specs; 600W modular PSU Asus P5Q-E Intel Q9550 4 x 2GB Corsair Dominator XFX 8800GS So I installed everything into the case, took some quick photos, and then proceeded to test out the build by applying power with only the basic stuff in (mobo, cpu, ram, gpu). Success! Everything looked fine, checked BIOS options, monitored CPU Temp in BIOS for a couple minutes, and then I switched it off. The case is a CM690 so I wanted to load it up with fans, 1 LED at the bottom, 2 BLACK at the top, case comes with one LED to the front Proceed to test #2, power with all fans connected, and it seemed to be fine, but I didn't hear my POST beep, nor did the LCD come to life. Immediately removed the new connections (all the fans) and rebooted, still no dice What did I do wrong? Some quick searching around the net says that daisy chaining fans could've caused some sorta overload. But I've always installed fans like this, 2 on 1 molex etc. So right now, I'm stuck. I've tried the following already; 1. Removed GPU for a weaker (known working) one - 8400GS 2. Removed all RAM, got BIOS error beeps indicating memory error 3. Once booted by accident, without 6-pin GPU power connected, lots of noise, so the board doesn't appear dead 4. Tried 2 other sticks of RAM 5. Tried 1 stick of RAM at a time 6. Tested Corsair in another PC, worked. 7. Reset BIOS via jumper and removing battery One item to note, the board has the 8-pin ATX12V connector, but the PSU only has a 4-pin connector. Didn't think that a problem, because the system booted with the bare configuration. I was wondering if maybe the extra load (4 fans) caused my predicament? Nah, I doubt it. But maybe, just maybe, I need a bigger PSU??? Please help.

So I'm looking for a cpu for mom's PC. Doesn't have to be anything elaborate, perhaps a Pentium Dual Core, or something like that. She's just gonna be surfing the net, checking emails, so I'm not gonna be looking for anything like Sax's E8400 or CMR's Q6600 Looking to spend ~$400 Seeing prices online like Intel Celeron E1400 Allendale 2.0GHz 512KB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Ok folks, this is getting ridiculous... I've been sitting on my upgrade for the most part of this year because I cannot find a decent case (sub $1000) to put it all together in.
I initially had a CoolerMaster Centurion 590 from PRW, but sold that to Hard O/C to get my hands on a CM690, the big brother.
Then I lost my chance at acquiring one, when the last of mmstt's stock was sold to unforgiven.
So now, I'm faced with choosing whether to import it and pay the same cost of the case in shipping charges (US$75 + US$75), or change my mind and buy something else
Does anyone know where/how I can get my preferred case, or what case locally, and within budget that is similar or better than the CM690

Anyone got any 1GB DDR400 SO-DIMM (200 pin) to spare?
Need two to upgrade a laptop for a friend, so they can run Vista (512MB is definitely not going to cut it with Vista)
DDR333 PC2700 is also cool, if no one got the faster speed chips.
looking to spend $200 per chip
