Thank you.

The USB WiFi adapter for my Series 2 TiVo is WEP only. I tried using a newer WPA based adapter but it refused to work with my TiVo even though it was on the approved list. Until I can completely replace my TiVo I'm stuck with having to go with WEP on my wireless network. Everything else I have...

Thanks for all the info. I think I'm going to go with the 5770 since XFX makes a single slot version and I want installation to be as easy as possible for him since the old card is also single slot. If he has issues I'll have to take another road trip to help him out.

My father has a quad core machine with 3 gigs of RAM, Vista, and an 8800GT that is starting to die. He wants to replace it with an ATI/AMD card since he's had some issues with NVIDIA drivers in the past. The PC has a 425W power supply. Is there something from AMD that is at least as good as...

Thanks, sent one.

Oh hey only $30,000 behind the curve.

I hope "Where the hell's my money?" is in there somewhere. YES! Also had to get "Stuffin Martha's Muffin" :D

I don't do much video encoding but even if I did it would probably smoke my P4 since there are four cores even if they are not multi-threaded cores. I have a 1440x900 LCD so I'm not pushing my graphics card in terms of res. At Maingear that 5850 is $100 more than the $144 275 and it's...

I've been mulling this over for a while and had decided to wait until Windows 7 came out. I've settled on Maingear as the source for either their small case, or the regular old minitower. They're both within about $150 of each other and I like the idea of finally having a small PC. I'm a bit...

Here I was thinking Kyle was selling off his Warhammer armies.

Thanks for this offer. I started up with their product a month ago and this is a really good deal.

What I meant was that if you go by the specs in terms of chip type, amount of RAM, hard drive size, etc. It's difficult to do apples to apples with PC construction since companies rarely offer the same hardware brands, and of course you sacrifice something for that lower price. What I was...

I've noticed that Maingear has updated their website since the last time I checked them out. Still a frontrunner for when I replace my PC when Windows 7 is coming preinstalled, but the premium over a similarly equipped Dell system is hundreds of dollars. Dell prices on i7 rigs has dropped a ton...

Expired/depleted. :(
