Been Looking For A Gaming Desktop PC for Years

Alright , So i want to get a Gaming PC Desktop this year.. I've been thinking and i only want to use 1,000-1,200 with screen! What is the best i can get? Thanks! Also i don't want to build so please don't say build it.. I want a pre-build system. Any recommend brands? Any deals you know of!? Thanks!

Cheaper computer that has graphics good enough for your purposes. You will need to play the newest games with top of the line graphics from medium - high settings. You can upgrade the graphics card in the future if you feel a need for it. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iBuyPower+-+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/6979787.p?id=1218818... Same as above, but with a better graphics card. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberPowerPC+-+Gamer+Ultra+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+2TB+Hard+Drive/6979369... The most expensive I would recommend because anything better is just for showing off your computer. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/iBuyPower+-+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/6979823.p?id=1218818... All these choices are computer with Quad core processors( 4 processors working together at the same time), so you computer should handle most programs and games for a long time. All these desktops should be fairly easy to upgrade or use a base to do a full self built computer if you decide to later.

Create a 1-click setup for a Remote Desktop session for non-tech users

Hi everyone,
I know how to configure a VPN or use port forwarding for VNC, ARD, etc. and know about iChat's Screen Sharing feature and sites like LogMeIn. But I'm looking for something special here. This is the situation:
• A user calls me for help and I would prefer a Remote Desktop session
• He's usually behind a NAT router which hasn't been set up to allow remote access
• He's absolutely NOT tech savy
So I'd like to have an easy way to allow me to initiate a Remote Desktop session (ARD/VNC) with as little user interaction needed as possible. I don't want to walk him through reconfiguring his router on the phone!
I was thinking of using iChat's Screen Sharing first. But I'd need to create a jabber account, save iChat's preference file, maybe pack it into a little "Installer" and mail it to him. So all he needs to do is double-click it and run iChat afterwards and accept me.
But this is a little too much for my taste and I'm wondering if there isn't already a "best practice" or something like that. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
Björn

I've recently started using TeamViewer. If you can walk a person through going to http://www.teamviewer.com and clicking on "Start Full Version" and getting them to download it and run it, then you're good to go. It's cross-platform both ways so you can control a Mac from a PC and a PC from a Mac in addition to M-M and P-P. If they're on a PC, the download is an executable which when they double-click it, asks them if they'd like to run it or install it. Just have them run it and in a few seconds they will have an ID number and random password generated that they can tell you over the phone. Then you type it into your TeamViewer app and you're controlling their screen. If they're on a Mac, the download is a disk image so you have them mount it and then just run the app directly from the disk image. Once you're connected you can fully install the app for future use or just help them out. It's pretty much the simplest cross-platform control system I've found to deal with situations where it's not already setup for me to support. On top of all that, it's free for personal use!

Recommendations for Windows 7 desktop gadgets for system monitoring?

Desktop Recommendation for CS4

I am looking for an affordable desktop solely for Adobe premiere pro cs4. So far I have heard that a quad core phenom is a good choice for my price range of $500-700. I use a Lenovo T500 which is ok, but it crashes and the audio lags sometimes. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to the top of the Hardware form and click on the Overview tab, there appears a drop down box with a number of articles that are worth reading.
This one in particular: Adobe Forums: What PC to build?
Your budget is way too low and it may be better for you to get a different camera, because this camera entails you need more than a budget PC.

Late 2009 iMac 27" as display for gaming desktop?

I'm looking at buying a gaming desktop with a high end graphics card. I know that the late 2009 imac can use the "mini-displayport" to be used as a monitor for the pc, but the graphics card on my desktop will only have a "displayport." The card comes with a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable, which would allow them to connect, but will it be compatible for Target Display mode? Some people have reported success online, but i could be missing information.

Hello CDeuschel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924
Can I use the iMac in TDM as a display for my gaming console, DVD player, or other device?
The Mini DisplayPort port on a supported iMac can receive DisplayPort compliant video and audio signals. Converters not made by Apple may provide options to convert other electrical, video, and audio protocols to Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt compliant signals.
Best of luck,
Mario

Looking for a new desktop

As most of us know, World of Warcraft is getting better graphics in the upcoming expansion. I'm worried that my desktop now (which can barely play the newest expansion) won't be able to play the upcoming expansion, thus I am looking for a new desktop. Not an amazing one, but just a good one with nice RAM, and a good processor. I'm looking around EVERYWHERE to find the best prices on desktops, and I was hoping some of you could make some reccomendations to me on to what desktop I should buy?
I want a low-medium priced desktop (200-1000$)
I want that desktop to be able to play World of Warcraft (and the upcoming expansion) well
I want at least 4G of RAM
I want at least a speed of 2GHz speed of the processor
These are the specs of the current expansion :
PC System Requirements
OS: Windows XP (Service Pack 3), Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Processor:
Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 1.3 GHz or AMD Athlon XP 1500+
Recommended: Dual-core processor, such as the Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2
Memory:
Minimum: 512 MB RAM (1GB for Vista users)
Recommended: 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista users)
Video:
Minimum: 3D graphics processor with Hardware Transform and Lighting with 32 MB VRAM
Such as an ATI Radeon 7200 or NVIDIA GeForce 2 class card or better
Recommended: 3D graphics processor with Vertex and Pixel Shader capability with 128 MB VRAM
Such as an ATI Radeon X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT class card or better
Sound: DirectX-compatible sound card or motherboard sound capability
These will increase however, so I hope I've given enough information for people who might be able to help me!

Best Buy sells all parts necessary to build a computer, though, and this is my own personal view, I will only buy a part from BBY if I've done my research and prices are lower(they usually aren't on individual parts). There's a site that is an Egg and is New, that I use for most of my parts.
BUT. If you don't know what you're doing/aren't tech/hardware savvy. I don't recommend doing it.
I agree. If you don't already know where to find parts at good prices (BB sometimes has good deals but rarely on individual parts. In some cases their RAM prices are more than 3-4 times the price of other reputable sources of RAM.), you probably don't want to assemble a machine. (Note: You might have a friend who is comfortable with such things that can help you.)
I get my individual parts from the same place RealGeorgeW does.

New desktop computer for gaming as well as normal stuff

I am looking for a new desktop computer that I could use for gaming--such as League of Legends and anything else I might find in the coming months/years, as well as eventually being able to hook up ps3 games eventually, but probably not right away. I am looking for suggestions on what specific systems to get and/or what specifications for a desktop i should be looking at. I am entirely new at this and could use help from every direction. Any help is appreciated

The biggest things you need to look for are CPU(for gaming and your budget look for Core i7's or AMD x6's), RAM - most gaming computers come with 6-8GB now, and a discrete video card. I am partial to nVidia chips, but an ATI card will work just the same.
As for brand, I prefer ASUS for gaming machines as they do have a gaming line.
Are you going to be looking for a package, monitor, tower, etc? Or do you already have a monitor?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+/+AMD+Phenom%26%23153%3B+II+X6+Processor+/+8GB+M...
Just at a quick glance, this is a decent system to kinda base what you're looking for off of. The CPU is decent, good amount of RAM. The graphics could be a bit stronger, though you could always upgrade that.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

I have two iPads and giving one to my grandson. Using my Apple id for both, can we use different passwords to access our "own" apps. Also I don't want the downloaded App to go to both iPads. Been looking for hours for an explanation! Thanks for any help.

Looking for a remote desktop management system

Hello,
I am looking for a remote desktop management system which should be very user-friendly. We would prefer a open-source software for that for further customization. I have found Paragent software which seems to be looking good so far, any suggestions regarding this would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have been looking for a solution for making my videos capable of playing on anything such as: DVD player, Mac, PC, etc.

I have been looking for a solution for making my videos capable of playing on anything such as: DVD player, Mac, PC, etc. I have not found a format that will play with all of these. Is there a format, software, or do you encode it? I am new to production. I can make a video and make it work for a certain thing just not all.

There is no such thing as universal format and that is that. You are looking for the magic pearl that doesn't exist and rather than waste your time on a futile search, it would be better to actually read up on the various formats and their limitations, including how playback devices may or may not support this and that.

ITunes is no longer syncing to Apple TV. I have been using my Apple TV Gen 1 for 3 years with good success. For reasons unknown to me, iTunes no longer syncs with my Apple TV. It says/looks like it's syncing but never gets through the first song.

iTunes sees the Apple TV as a device. I have it set to manual sync. I have it set to sync my entire library (I have only 10 CDs in my library). It says it is syncing. The wheel goes round and round. The song it is syncing is listed. The number of songs that are to by synced is listed. but it never gets through syncing the song. I have also set it to sync my photos, but never gets to them. I seem to have a good wireless connection to my Apple TV. I am able to talk between my PC and my Apple TV, but now it won't sync. Note: I have been playing music on my Apple TV for 3 years with good success (with hundreds of songs), but it no longer seems to work like it did. Thanks.

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Been complaining about lag on xbox live for a year and Verizon is now ignoring me.

For the past year and a half I have been complaining to verizon about the horrible xbox live service I am getting. They keep telling me there is nothing wrong. I have tried four different routers(verizon and non-verizon with updated firmwares), tried both coax and ethernet, switched every ethernet line twice, played on a 5 foot cable in my garage, had my ont switched, and my fiber re-spliced. Verizon claims nothing is wrong and have tried to get me to stop complaining by telling me "fios is too fast for xbox because games are designed for high latency connections and because fios has no latency slower connections can't keep up so it feels laggy." I posted that response on a xbox gaming forum and promptly had 10 people tell me FIOS runs great on their xbox.
So obviously the problem lies beyond my network and verizon is doing nothing to fix it. I have had a technician come out at least six times and all they run is a speed test. I am getting the speed I am provisioned at but ALL my xbox live games are unplayable online. I believe the problem lies in the first public hop outside because when I run a line quality test,(https://secure.dslreports.com/pingtest) I get an error that says "50ms or more latency between your ip address and your first public internet hop could certainly be bettered with a quality connection"
Just to be sure it wasn't unique my house I walked around my neighborhood and found 2 open wifi networks that were on FIOS and ran the same test. Both of them came back with the same error as me and both had the same first hop as me. To make sure that error wasn't normal for FIOS users I asked those poeple on the xbox live forum to run the test and tell me the results. Every single one of them passed the first hop test and had nearly half the latency, (Here are a few of them) I supplied this information and now they are ignoring me.
Is there any mod or technician here that can provide me with contact information for someone who will look into and fix this problem for me? I believe I have provided significant proof that this problem is not in my network and calling an 800 number and opening a ticket does not help. I have been complaining for a year and a half and nothing has been done. I have lost practically all my xbox live friends because of this and would like to be able to play now that I have more free time. A phone number or email would be great. BTW I am in orange county, CA if that helps.
Thx

Steps to take if BlackBerry is not shown as connected in Desktop Manager for Mac

Hello Community,
Here is a list of steps you should attempt to try and get your BlackBerry detected in Desktop Manager for Mac.
1. Make sure you're using the most up to date BlackBerry Desktop Software for Mac. Which is available to download at http://www.blackberry.com/desktop
2. If using a MacBook/MacBook Pro make sure the BlackBerry is plugged in the left USB port close to the screen. If using a iMac make sure you use the USB ports on the Mac and not a USB hub.
3. Make sure you're using a BlackBerry branded USB cord. (There are usb cords out there for charging only).
4. Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
5. Disable Media Transport Protocol on your BlackBerry smartphone. (Options>Memory)
6. Make sure your Mac OS X 10.6 is running in 32-bit mode. KB Article.
7. Make sure ALL other syncing software has been uninstalled and removed off your Mac. KB Article.
8. Perform a battery reset on your BlackBerry smartphone. KB Article.
9. Make sure your BlackBerry smartphone is not hour-glassing or have an application error appearing on the LCD screen. However if there is a JVM 507/513 error appearing on the BlackBerry the Desktop Manager for Mac will pick up the device and reload the software.
10. Make sure "Open using Rosetta" is not running/disabled on Mac OS X. KB Article.
I will be adding more tips and tricks to this post once I come across them.
Feel free to share with other community members and I always welcome suggestions and comments.

Hey burko74,
Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, do you get prompt for mass storage mode?
Also does the mac pick up the media card as a removable hard drive?
Have you tried to do a battery reset as well?
I look forward to your reply.
