i dont know a thing about fuses or how to find them, just read up on them that they save components from being fried. is it safe toi assume that all new electronics come made with fuses, and how do i check for eacho ne? power strip =/= surge protector?

victim of a 3 day power outage here, but when power returned a few things would not turn on: in my room connected to 2 different power strips were a panasonic plasma TV, a computer, a small portable heater, a small lamp, and etc all stopped working (will not turn on). other things did work...

oh dang i did not even consider the 500$ + ones! you have 6950 listed twice?

what cards are in the top tier? and what cards are in the 2nd tier, and maybe third tier? just want to see what cards i can get for $X before getting a drop in quality

i need some of your thoughts on this product! list if you have a 32 or 16, and just post opinions. also state/compare whether you have the original OS or android ported. thanks!

talk about picky. mba is too flimsy/tiny! :P she is more interested in the xps 14z (sp?). costs 1000, but from what i know anything over 500ish would be because of gfx card?

ok thanks. what is a good temperature range to know that the fans dont need to be on? my mobo is a gigabyte z68 ud3h fan controller? what do you mean? seems like everything is plugged in. usb cables plugged into mobo.

oh i thought i could only do the rebate after gettin gthe product, because the products themselve have information you need for the rebate form.

what are your thoughts on mail in rebates? it seems to be set up for the person to completely forget about it (10 wk delivery???) and just not respond at all. question: if you order an item from amazon, free shipping, and submit the mail in rebate, then later on decide to return the product to...

so usb2 in the back panel works fine, just the front port does not! though the usb3 in the front is ok....odd. what might be the problems here? and on my case there are 2 fans. while the vents do not get hot, i notice the fans are never on, just sitting there. did i screw up, and how can i...
