Microcenter, HELP ME!
I'm currently on hold to talk to someone (on hold now for 23 minutes). I was previously on the phone for around the same time until I was disco-ed by Microcenter and called back. I've tried the CHAT option, I click on it and... nothing. I placed an order, paid overnight shipping and was expecting to get it tomorrow, got an…

touchpad has a mind of its own
I have an Asus Elitebook Zenbook Flip that's about 2 years old, and a few months ago the touchpad started to have a mind of its own and click on things on the desktop. It's mainly along the left side of the screen - going to the upper left and taking me to the first URL browser window I have open. Or it goes the lower left…

BYOPC - Work Bar Area (Concept Idea)
With the surge of water cooling, new products, and (new)users building new systems I was thinking how cool it would be if there was a small area for shoppers, to after purchasing their parts have a small lab/work area with basic tools for them to start their build there before even leaving. More so if basic water cooling…

Why do PowerSpec PCs use microATX mainboards?
I may be wrong but it seems to me it's fairly silly that so many of the PowerSpec pcs use microATX main boards. Expansion is zilch with only one PCI slot and 2 RAM slots. Since I have no desire nor wish for glass cases, which have lousy heat dissipation and increased risk of damage and injury, all steel cases are the only…

Powerspec RX 5700XT Doesn't Recognize Max Resolution
I just bought a Powerspec G464 with an AMD Ryzen 3900X and a Radeon RX 5700XT. I have an old HP L3065 2560X1600 monitor that I've been using with an old Nvidia card for years without any issues. However, the maximum resolution this Radeon card allows me to select is 1280x800! I'm running the latest Radeon software and the…

St. Louis Location RX 6000 Series Availability?
I'm just wondering how we're expecting the availability to be on the 6800 XTs and the 6800s. I'm at work until 4:30, so I probably wouldn't be able to get there until around 5 or 6 tonight. I'm curious if it's okay for me to be a bit optimistic on my chances for getting a 6800xt tonight or if I'll need to be more realistic.

Powerspec G467
I purchased the Powerspec G467 a few weeks ago. This system features the Asus TUF RTX 3080. Unfortunately, the case chosen is poorly ventilated. The front is completely solid with some small vents on the side. Everyone knows the RTX 30 series cards run hot. Needless to say, after about 3 to 3.5 hrs of gaming, the system…
