So I went poking around in my laptop a few days back and stumbled across this.

And I can't for the life of me figure out what this is supposed to be or what it can hold since it's empty underneath. The actual connector is not in plain sight as it runs just under the rest of the body. Anybody got any idea what it could be?

Express port idk, a picture of it open would be helpfull.

I found a service manual that says it houses a 3g module on other models. Which is weird because I don't even have a slot for a SIM card in mine. What sort of connectors do those things usually have?

[Miljaker]

CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 €180
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V €60
GPU: AMD Radeon HD7770 €100
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3 1600MHz €40

CASE: SST-RL01B case €55
HDD: 500GB HDD € 55
PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630 W €50

€540

Better then what I first had?

Probaly a different PSU, Corsair or alike.
The case is obiviously your choice, but IMO I would pick something more simplistic instead of making a workstation look like it'll eat ya'.

I'd say it's more likely for a Bluetooth module.

Have a bluetooth module in my laptop already so that one's out too.

Looks good, although you could get a better gpu I suppose.

I have virtually no knowledge of AMD gpus, so something like a 560 should be around the same price as that 7770 with like 30% better performance.

560 is 190 euro while the 7770 is 100 euro. So not quite the same price. I might look into a better gpu when I decided on a monitor/keyboard/mouse/headset and add in those prices.

Looks good to me.

Anyways, I assume OpenVPN is my only option so could anyone help me out with setting it up? As mentioned earlier, I have failed numerous times.

my motherboard just arrived, I don't have an anti static wristband or whatever though but do I need one?

[QUOTE=Crpto2007;38639744]my motherboard just arrived, I don't have an anti static wristband or whatever though but do I need one?[/QUOTE]

I'd imaging constantly holding the metal case with one hand would dissipate any static.

Is there software which makes it possible to livestream your desktop with multiple users like Day[9] does in his videos?

[editline]29th November 2012[/editline]

like mumble overlay, but with video.

[A big fat ass]

Is there some kind of application that fools games into thinking my Logitech gamepad is actually a Microsoft gamepad? I have a lot of games that have support for gamepads, but only Xbox ones. Logitech comes with a thing to bind mouse controls to the buttons, but I really don't want to do that for every game that has gamepad support. It also doesn't work well for things like Source games.

Motion in joy might do that but it might also be only for ps3 controllers.

How does a 670 stack up with a 7950 for multi monitor? I'm running a 3x1920x1080 setup.

The 670 is better.

[Crpto2007]

I'm having trouble setting all my new hardware up, I put my motherboard in but I'm not sure I have the wiring right and theres some wires that wont even go into anything from my old mobo. I'm also having problems putting the ram in

XFX PSUs are made by the same people who make Corsair PSUs, what's the point of switching

weird, I would've thought AMD would have done multimonitor better.
