    Post your Mouse and Keyboard pics

    BEHOLD! Original G5 and a 15$ keyboard. After spilling a coke in my last 15$ keyboard I don't think I could stomach buying pretty much anything in this thread... Also, I want to get a new mouse but this G5 refuses to die.

    What video card has served you the longest before upgrading?

    Nvidia GTS 250 1gb... still running it since right around the time it was released a few years ago. Don't plan to upgrade for a while.

    iPod Classic Battery Replacement OEM vs Extended

    To clarify, I bought an EforCity battery in like 2009 and I've used it for the past 4 years and it still holds a great charge. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QEBXEW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Obviously this one is for an ipod video and not your classic, but I figured you...

    The Removable Battery Thread - now with more poll!

    I like being able to replace the batteries in my devices, having had 3 batteries in my laptop and two in my droid incredible. However, I have both the asus transformer prime and the LG G2 which lack removable batteries... the hardware outweighed the desire for the removable battery.

    PSU life cycle

    I checked again and I guess it's not as old as I thought, bought it early 2009. Antec Earthwatts 500. Yeah I figured that most people just ended up cycling through hardware often enough to not have to worry about actively replacing their psu due to age.

    PSU life cycle

    Is there a good rule of thumb for when to replace a power supply? Or do most people just run theirs until it dies? I replaced my first PSU because it failed to run after 2 years, but I've had my second one in this system for about six years now I think. This one appears to be running just fine...

    OSX Mavericks? Anyone upgrade yet?

    I just got my hands on a late 2008 metal unibody Macbook (NOT pro) with 2 ghz C2d and 2 gigs of ram. I know that the apple website says I can update all the way to Mavericks, but do you think that will significantly decrease the performance of the laptop compared to let's say snow leopard?

    Help me choose my 1st smart phone? (Mostly for efficiency/productivity)

    If you're going to be spending quite a bit of time looking at the screen I would definitely try to go for something with a larger screen or with a phone that someone says is easy on the eyes. If I spent too long looking at the screen on my droid incredible I would literally have trouble...

    Deciding between phones

    Hey everyone, thanks for the input, I grabbed a LG G2 and I'm so happy with it!

    Deciding between phones

    As far as I can tell the price may say 140 on amazon, but once you tack on the fees associated with verizon it's essentially the same as buying it from Verizon themselves

    Deciding between phones

    Carrier isn't my choice, I'm actually still on my family's phone plan and my dad gets a discount for the monthly rate from his job. I hadn't even looked at the G2, but that seems like a very nice phone. One question that I've been curious about is why are Amazon's prices almost a solid $100...

    Deciding between phones

    Oh, and I use it as a GPS religiously.
