Hi, I just bought an Acer P221W monitor from Costco for $199. I thought that was a pretty good price (there was an instant $30 rebate on it). Was that a good deal for this particular monitor? Thanks.

You know, stupidly, I really didn't even think of that :) I always just by default separate mac from PC. I will look into it.

Hi, I just bought an HP dv5t. I hear it can heat up quite a bit. Even though I am not a heavy gamer to where it would get scorching boiling hot, I would like to ensure I have something that I can use when I am mobile around the house (i.e. on the couch). For my MacBook, I use the Rain...

Thanks xenotype. I am not an extreme gamer, so I think this should suffice. I might look into a SquareTrade warranty.

I just paid $1,053 out of pocket (including taxes and free shipping) after a $400 coupon. I will be getting a $70 rebate for the printer (making it free) and (hopefully) 5% cash back from the live.com cashback program. So in the end, I should only be out about $930. Here are the specs: HP...

Hi, I have an old Dell Inspiron 600m. Originally it came with 512 MB RAM (2 x 256MB), running at 266 MHz (PC2100). I bought a 1 GB DIMM, PC2700 333MHz to increase the RAM. I know that if I mix the DIMMS, the speed of the RAM will run at the slower speed, in this case 266 MHz. But, if...

Thanks for the reply. Or I have a relative with access :-) So which HP? The dv5t? I heard that had heating issues, though.

Thanks for the reply. Well, I need to have Mac OS X running and Windows running at the same time for some of the work I do. VMWare Fusion would be a good alternative, but it cannot use hardware graphics rendering very well.

[Note: I copied the questionnaire at the end of this post from another forum. If this is offensive, I apologize, but it seems like it would be helpful here too]. Hi, I am suffering from a bad case of analysis paralysis. I would really appreciate some advice on a good laptop purchase...

Hi, I just got an ACD 20" that I bought from somebody. Never been used before. I am using it as a second display to my MacBook Pro 15" Beautiful monitor!! There is one curious thing that I have found. As I turn the brightness higher, I notice that the white power brick begins buzzing...

Hi, I just bought an Apple Cinema Display 20" from someone. It is pretty much new -- never been used and only taken out of the box once. It was bought back in December 2007. When the monitor was originally bought at Best Buy, the owner also bought the 4 year extended warranty. 1. Just...

jst4Fun, Thanks for the reply! That was very detailed and informative. I appreciate it. May I ask one more thing. By default mine was set to "YPbPr+" as the Input Color Format instead of "-RGB" under the Advanced Settings. Did you change it to "-RGB" before tweaking the rest of the...

Hi, I just pulled my Dell SP2208WFP out of the box today and sweet mother the default settings are horrendous. I might as well be tripping on acid the way the screen looks. Can anyone who uses this monitor with their Mac (I have it connected to a MacBook Pro) please provide me with all of...

Nevermind....I know the answer.

Hi, For anyone who has an MX Revolution -- I just got it today. Charged it. Plugged the receiver into the USB port on my Apple Keyboard and off it went (I am not installing the drivers just yet). Anyway, when I press the scroll wheel in (i.e. click it), I notice it makes a deep...
