It's supposedly a nationwide clearance, but it seems like not all stores are required to adhere to the minimum clearance price. Although they quoted 314.99 on the phone, when I showed up there this morning, it rang up at 209.99. If the employees at the Best Buys in your area are on top of...

I forgot to mention that the online inventory is inaccurate - I picked one up at my closest store but it said unavailable when I checked on the website. They do have it in their store computers, though. I was able to call ahead (though they gave me the 314.99 price).

If you aren't completely put off by your experience with the 285, you could check your local Best Buy for the BFG GTX 285 OC. Most stores have it on clearance for 209.99, and if you're lucky there might be a store near you that has it. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1427317...

I use NOD32 - it's updated and found nothing... Strange indeed.

I did have port forwarding enabled on that port, but I closed it off and am under a different IP now. If it must be known, I was using that port for bittorent, making it my fault that I got attacked in the first place. Enough of that for me... Oh, by the way, I tried opening that same...

Well I never said I "disabled any ICMP ports".. I said that my router was already blocking the outgoing packets... here's an example I have from a saved log: Blocked outgoing ICMP packet (ICMP type 3) from 192.168.0.161 to 86.127.5.47 After I closed the port, the router no longer gave that...

The outgoing ICMP packets never got out from my computer, my router always blocked them. I really doubt I'm participating in the attacks, I just think the router was allowing the ping request to be sent through it, but it was not sending back a response (hence the blocking). Once I closed the...

I've found the port that was being used to attack me and have closed it. Is there anything else I could/should do? Thanks again!

Hi, I believe I'm experiencing a DOS attack... My router keeps showing outgoing ICMP packets being blocked from being sent to random IP addresses. Many per second are appearing. Is there any way I can disable pinging on my router? Could anyone help out? This is killing my connection =[...

This is practically the same exact problem that I had with the monitor... In fact, it looks like they sent you the exact one I sent back to Dell. Send it back and get a replacement - it's a defective monitor

The super gravity gun is insane - in that level where you use the crane to move the shipping crates, the gravity gun can pick up and toss them hundreds of feet like as if they were monkey turds. Crazy stuff!

You need the HDTV pack. That second monster cable you linked to only has composite (RCA) video/audio jacks and s-video, neither of which will give you high definition output. It needs to say specifically "component" or HDTV on the box. Best bet is to get the official HD package and use some...

Wow, the graphics kinda start looking like Messiah with this setting...
