    crt whine

    Yep, though how loud it is seems to depend on the Television. I have an older Mitsubishi television that doesn't really make a noise but I had a relatively new walmart piece of crap that was so "loud" that you could hear the whine outside of the room. I replaced it with a good Sharp HDTV and now...

    Post your Desktop!

    I always find these threads interesting, so I figured I would start one here. Here's a screen shot of my personal laptop. It's a fresh install of Win 7 so my desktop is pretty tidy, for now.... For the background I choose one of my favorite scenes from The Dark Knight. It's something...

    Firefox 3.5

    Now that you mention it Firefox (3.5.2) has also been acting up on my PC. It seems to be crashing more often, usually when I have flash player running. Off topic, but I wish Silverlight would be adopted my more websites. Flash is to much of a resource hog.....

    Asus first to Feature USB 3.0

    Well, it appears Asus canned the idea. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1495417/asus-cancels-usb-motherboard It really doesn't surprise me that they canceled it. There are not that many USB 3.0 devices out there that could justify paying the premium for it.

    W7 warning - Trend Micro AV

    I am surprised it let you install it if the program had that many issues. I tried installing Norton 360 on my Windows 7 laptop and it came up with a box saying "this program has known compatibility problems. It is not recommend you install it." Of course, I installed it anyway and it locked up...

    Firefox 3.5

    Surprisingly, on Win 7 IE8 seems to be about as fast as Firefox 3.5. Though I still prefer Firefox because of Adblock, it is a welcomed improvement for the times I am forced to use IE.

    Microsoft says Vista buyers will get free Windows 7

    The title of the thread is misleading. :( Though $50 preorder isn't that much considering all of the improvements that were made.

    Google OS - What do you think?

    Competition is always good in the marketplace. I would consider dualbooting it on my laptop if the apps are good enough....

    ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE

    I have been using Norton 360 since the original version came out. I'm currently using version 3.0 and it is definitely one of the most solid antivirus programs I have had.

    After 3 hours I was finally able to get DD-WRT on the router and set it up as a bridge. Right now I have it hooked up to my blu-ray player and it is working great. Thanks to all that helped. :)

    Linksys Router Issue

    We have a winner :D It turns out it was the power supply. I bought the router used from ebay and I guess they gave me the wrong transformer. Luckily I had another transformer from a old linksys print server and it is working great now. Thanks for the replies everyone,
