    Need help buying my first SSHD please!

    Basically, the price vs performance increase just isn't there. The way they're marketed makes you think you're going to break into turbo mode or something, and that just isn't the case. It's a marginal increase at best, though more often than not it's more of a lateral move. A true SSD...

    What are you currently playing?

    Finished the main story to FO4. Sided with Institute since it seemed the best option, plus, well...<not inserting spoiler>... Wanted to give it a rest afterwards before doing end-game stuff, so I loaded up Life Is Strange (purchased the whole kaboodle when it was on sale a while back). Played...

    A Buick Roadmaster, IIRC. And I say do it just for the sick sleeper beast you can turn that LT4 into ;)

    Computer making weird noise on start up.. HELP (FIXED)

    It's possible the bearing on the fan is bad or loose, causing it to wobble/vibrate when the fan needs to turn quicker during higher CPU load. What specific fan is it?

    Desktop cleaners

    Why not just spend the less than 5 minutes it would take and delete the desktop icons you don't want?

    What CPU is better?

    Are you building a system or buying a new CPU to upgrade what you currently have - keep in mind they are different sockets so if you have an existing Motherboard, you'll need to replace with the same socket type. If building new or getting a new Board with it, the 6700 is newer and performance...

    what's better for storing data dvd discs envelopes or jewel cases?

    I always found the padded CD storage binders to work best. Think back to the late 90's/early 2000's ones that everyone 20-something had in their car...

    What is it with USB cable ?

    Any markings on the device at all you could plug into Google and see what comes up? Serial number, etc? It looks older.

    What is it with USB cable ?

    Looks to be some sort of transmitter/receiver powered by USB. When you plug it in, does Windows identify the hardware?

    water damage

    Wait, is this a laptop? If so, it's very likely it's done for, based on what you're describing. Best bet at this point is to take it to a legit computer repair place (no, Geek Squad doesn't count) and get their opinion. If the PSU/battery shorted out, there's a good chance it took multiple...

    water damage

    It depends on what area was wet, and whether or not it was fully dried before trying to power it up. Did it turn on? ...a jug of water? Like an actual gallon jug?

    What type of key does Razer keyboards use?

    It's not MX, looks like their own branding, but I'm guessing it's basically the same exact thing from the info on their website. Their orange looks to be very similar (identical) to MX Red and their Green appears to copy MX Blue.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" - Any difference between SM-T810NZKEXAR & SM-T810NZDEXAR

    Yes. Samsung does that with most (all?) of their stuff. For similar models with different model letters, color is the only difference.
