			<description><![CDATA[So..  In our business we use Microsoft 360 as our main email but multiple of our users use gmail as their portal(forwarding/etc).  <br />
<br />
I am looking for a solution so that we can stop paying for additional storage (what happens is we have all our email go to gmail and then that adds to gmail storage which is only like 15 gigs).  I was thinking setting up some sort of internal server to upload emails to or some sort of a solution to try and host our email internally to free up the cloud email storage through gmail/microsoft but also want to be able to access the internal emails easily/often/etc.<br />
<br />
Does anyone have experience or suggestions for a solution to this?  This isn't like big corporate issues, we have 20 or so company emails but only a few people who have storage issues.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anyone have any experience with curved monitors?<br />
<br />
I currently run 2 27" monitors side by side.  One of mine went out today so I'm looking to buy a new one... and since I can't have mismatched monitors, will probably replace both of them.<br />
<br />
Thinking about going the curved monitor route, because it sounds great in theory... but curious your thoughts on it if you've tried it before(or actively run it).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Got my new PC in today which was ordered through CyberPowerPC per Crice's recommendations.  When I ordered it the estimated ship date was 10/14, but it actually shipped early and I received it on 10/15.<br />
<br />
When I started the computer about 3 of the fans weren't working at all and none of the LED's were working.  Had to take the back cover off the case and get into all of the wiring and a one of the connectors came disconnected in shipping.  Not a big deal but it did force me to basically undo all of their cable ties and such to find it which was pretty annoying.  After I found the disconnected connection everything is working flawlessly.  <br />
<br />
It's amazing how fast you can get a PC up and back to almost normal with all of your settings being saved in Google and windows... literally 30 minutes and I was back in and running New World... which loads incredibly fast now.... like amazingly fast.. and looks beautiful. <br />

I currently have 3 4GB sticks of 1066 MHZ DDR3 totaling 12 GB<br />

I want to upgrade and curious what the best bang for my buck is... not wanting to spend much.<br />

Should I just buy 3 sticks of 1066 4GB and max out the ram?  I seem to remember that you're supposed to replace the ram in sets of 3(so adding 1 more ram stick wouldn't be a good idea).]]></description>

Any help would be appreciated!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I have 2 monitors hooked up to 1 video card.  One is connected via HDMI and the other is connected via DVI.  On a restart(stupid windows updates...) the monitor connected DVI just goes into sleep mode.  If I unplug that monitor from the video card it comes on and gives me the "cable is disconnected" message and then I plug it back in, that goes away and it immediately goes to sleep...  Also, my computer thinks the monitor is running because I initially had my windows open on that monitor and I could drag my mouse off the display that's working and then drag the windows back over...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Anyone have any recommendations for a wireless headset?<br />
<br />
I've looked and haven't really found anything that looks decent that isn't really expensive.  I've found some that are no-name brands that I kind of shy away from.  I know wireless isn't the best and corded is better, but I don't care. I'm tired of dealing with the wires getting constantly twisted.<br />
<br />
My main requirement is that it has to have a charging dock. I don't want to deal with changing out batteries every time it dies and I don't want to have to plug it in to charge.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As I am the closest thing to a PC 'guru' in my family, lol..., I have been tasked with helping my father-in-law with a replacement for his gaming rig which has finally burned up.  His only requirement is that it will be able to accept his old games which I guess are all CD-based, and he has had trouble getting them to work on his updated windows 10 PC (the one that burned up).  I would like to get him a PC but one that will see him to the end, lol.  He is still without internet (though I am working on that, too). He is an old board gamer from way back.  An Axis and Allies on a 4x8 sheet of plywood type of guy.  Poor guy just had his wife retire... so he is kind of desperate to get his home away from home back up and working, lol.<br />
<br />
Any ideas on the ideal set up that will let him enjoy his retro collection, while still being able to play new games?  If I don't help him, his expert at the local Wal-Mart will... and that guy had him take a Sawzall to his Alienware... (I kid you not...).<br />
<br />
&#36;500-1000 with some room to wiggle, I am thinking for the budget.  Though he paid a lot more for that Alienware way back... <br />
<br />
Any leads/advice would be much appreciated.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I had an issue where my computer booted and went to my desktop but once it got there it wouldn't do anything.  I restarted the computer and then the only way I could get back to the desktop was in safe mode(it would boot and my 2nd monitor would go to sleep and then eventually my 1st monitor would turn black, but I could see my mouse moving).  I decided to do a reset on my computer.  Once the reset was done, my keyboard (old Saitek Cyborg usb keyboard) and my 2nd monitor (dvi connection) aren't working.  If I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in I get the windows noise for new hardware and the keyboard lights up, but it doesn't do anything.  The same thing happens with my monitor when I unplug the dvi cable it will come on with a blank screen and get the windows noise but immediately go to sleep.  I even unplugged my main monitor (HDMI) and plugged my 2nd in through the HDMI cable and it did the same thing(windows noise, blank screen, immediately goes to sleep).<br />
<br />
I have updated windows, updated my video card driver, disabled and reenabled my video card, messed with all of the display settings (extending displays, changing priority, etc) and nothing works.  <br />
<br />
I was able to plug in a different usb keyboard and it works fine.<br />
<br />
My video card is a Radeon 550 series card.  <br />
<br />
I have a hard time believing this is a video card  or a keyboard/monitor issue as it's the exact same issue with my keyboard and my monitor but any suggestions are appreciated it.]]></description>
