If I ever get the infamous Dell 8800GT I'm thinking of selling/trading it I bought it spur of the moment and now I'm questioning need. I did an afternoon Nov24th purchase and I have a 12/26 ship date (FWTW) I'm thinking a X1650PRO/512mb is more my need which is going for $40 AR on Buy.com...

I feel like a skanky crack addict telling Dell not to cancel my 8pm 11/24 order. OTOH, since my last video card purchase was a MX440, apparently I'm a crack addict with patience.

My primary problem with Dell is their lack of creativity or pro-activeness in trying to salvage (or even possibly enhance) their reputation when confronted with a customer problem like this. It's emblematic of a lumbering corporate Goliath that is disconnected from their customer. It is...

Purchased 22 500GB 7200.10 drives for 6 machines at work a few weeks ago. All E6850 on P5K deluxes with a few in 4xraid 2 failed during OS mount 1 failed in a x4RAID by first throwing SMART errors then total fail (after 1 week) 1 more is increasingly throwing SMARTs in another x4-RAID...

Did search, didn't see this question (hard to believe) Clubit G0 Q6600 Will be using a Tuniq Tower120 so don't need Intel HSF See Retail has 3yr warranty versus OEM 90 day. Are people really able to claim warranty? How do they know you didn't fry it on an OC gone bad?

I'm not paid to do Newegg's job. Screw that. Went with the $50 deal at Frys.com and took the risk at that price. Came today and held my breath until I saw the V1.1 on the outside. Very nice for $50.

Monoprice.com Even the expensive ones are cheap. Pretty much anything will work.

Went through trying to ask at Newegg 2 different times about V1.1 of P180s and could get nobody interested in getting me a real answer besides guesses. You would think that a company with 1.5B$ in sales could afford a high school graduate with moderate computer skills to troll sites like these...

my bad

Hope your right Danny Bui. I know I've read posters over the past week that says they've recently received old versions from NE IIRC. One was even in a box marked V1.1 Kinda hard to believe but thats what they said. At 50$ end cost I decided I can always hole saw it at the CPU power inlet...

I'm just about ready to $hitcan my idea of buying 4x500GB Raid and step upto 4x750Gb. It's getting ridiculous how the 500GB's are frozen at $100 and all the drives upper/lower of it are falling like stones. In the spirit of the season, I'll take this as a sign from God that he was wants me to...

Well I've written to Linksys help desk and user groups today. Since its sunday I'm not expecting anything soon. Thanks for the link

I live out in the sticks where I can run CAT5 between my house and a neighbors. Would like to set up a cheap NAS so that we both can have off-site storage in each other houses. Would love to be able to incrementally grow using cheap USB drives. Would like to avoid the headache/upkeep/power...
