    Circuit city advanatage is a scam

    My biggest complaint with CC is with their incredibly bad stock selection. I once went in to buy a basic UDMA hard drive cable -- should be $5 tops -- and was told by a sales clerk, "I'm sorry, we don't carry them. But here's one with lights, oh and here's another that glows in the dark, and...

    Huh? I wasn't talking about "warranty secrets" either. Whatever those are.

    New HardOCP Thread

    Yeah, that IS pretty dumb. I liked Kyle's comment a few pages back, where he said he's running the "Ban People Who Ban My Ads" software. Too funny.

    New 6800GS

    Try this: fire up one of the games where you have this problem. Play it for a while, then leave it running while you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del. Check your memory usage. If it's over 1GB you might be running into hitching, and upgrading to 2GB would help. But to be honest I don't think that's your...

    Just to add to the chorus.. If you're getting this error and are heavily overclocking your system, set everything to stock speed and see if the error goes away. 3D gaming is one of the best ways to uncover system instabilities, far better than any individual stress test.

    Best Thermal Paste for Bare Core

    Just out of curiosity, would/how would 23K gold leaf compare to indium? Isn't gold pretty much the best metallic heat conductor there is? http://www.jfreeman.com/sign_materials.html#gold $25 for a book.

    Best Thermal Paste for Bare Core

    Found a source for Indium foil. Crazy expensive, but if someone wants to try it I'd love to hear about the results. http://www.lakeshore.com/temp/acc/am_solderoi.html

    Circuit city advanatage is a scam

    That sums it up nicely. Extra retailer warranties are a scam 90% of the time. I've got my "yeah, right" look down to a science, to the point where checkout clerks at these places don't even ask.

    AGP card in the 200 dollar range!

    They sure as hell are. E.g. Newegg is already out of stock on three of their 7800GS cards, even though they began to ship just over two weeks ago. Obviously they're selling extremely well.

    AGP card in the 200 dollar range!

    Can you guys even read? The latest Forceware beta has two device entries for 7900GS. Yes, 7900GS.

    Any way to add rubber drive grommets when there's no room?

    The two drives are 15K.4's, and are the loudest component in the system. Can you explain what you mean by "drill the holes in the drive clearance" and "bolt from the inside with rubber inside the drive"? I'm trying to picture it but can't.

    Any way to add rubber drive grommets when there's no room?

    I have an OEM Antec case and am very happy with it, except I'd like to add some rubber grommets to the hard drive cage. Unfortunately this is the older style Antec cage with zero clearance between it and the sides of the hard drives. Is there a way around this? If not, does anyone sell just...
