    Micro Center adding four new stores

    I wonder what their new format will be like? There is one in St. Louis Park, MN which is basically in the middle of the Twin Cities metro area. I still think they could open up more in the twin cities. For the time being I'd rather have them add a 2nd floor to the existing one and have even...

    MicroCenter i7-2600K+Z68 Savings Power Event

    Assuming the $50 difference on -V $180 one and the $130 ones is NOT just the Bluetooth and extra heat-sinks, I would get the $180 -V one or the Pro? Hours past my bedtime, so I can't figure it out. If you can, I would wait for the P8Z68-V with Gen 3, PCIE 3.0 that is coming out, very soon I...

    MicroCenter i7-2600K+Z68 Savings Power Event

    Are there anymore 20% off cases deals ? Do these come up every now and then? I am just finishing up a build and haven't figured out the case situation yet though, last thing I need to do today. But I'll just use my main case and put all the new stuff in there for my aunt and uncle if I have...

    Microcenter: Corsair X256 256gb SSD $254.99

    Since you work there, did you find out for sure if items like this can be covered? Maybe for the rest of us it's just a matter of getting the right manager or something and asking if he/she will do it. Thanks for your time.

    Recommendation for an internal hard drive + USB 3.0 external enclosure

    I have heard these are good. I know Micro Center was using them in their offices at the Minneapolis store, 1-2 years ago. Personally, I would give preference to one with a fan though. However I bought a Thermaltake Max 4 Active Cooling (1 80mm fan) 3 years ago and sold it to my friend and he...

    Windows 7 SP1

    I have to agree. I updated laptop to SP1 last night through WU. It seemed to hang at 17 or 19%. I think it was the 4th time that it worked. Laptop was only used for like 1.5 hours today and no problems. However found this reading with my main PC and had to start it up and am starting to...

    Samsung HD204UI write error rate

    My backup PC, an old P4 Asus MB (motherboard) has the SATA-150 also. It has worked fine for me in that one. But I use it in my main Intel P35 MB. --------- However the Samsung booklet says: In some rare cases SATA 1.5Gb/s hosts can NOT establish SATA interface connection with SATA 3.0Gb/s...

    Killed External I think

    If you have another PC to hook it up to I would try that. If that doesn't work, and with the noises I don't know why it would, then I would pull it out of the case (if it's out of warranty) and use a program like SpinRite 6 to try to recover the data while you can. I'm sure there are a few...

    Need help with behcmark for Samsung HD204UI.

    As far as the firmware goes this is what I did, Jayman took my post and made it much better. I ran the ESTools 3.01v (IIRC) before and it failed. Then did the patch and it passed. Did this for both of my drives and same results. I'd suggest running this, it takes a long time though, the...

    Samsung HD204UI write error rate

    Well I'm hoping that you didn't update the firmware right. From an email that someone posted Samsung used the excuse that they didn't change the firmware number because it would take like a month to do it. Well it's been over a month now. I tried numerous times and the only way I got it to...

    Super Talent 16GB USB3.0 Flash $24 _ Super Talent 8GB USB3 Flash $14 (-10% ) Off Code

    Well got mine today and it is noticeably faster on USB 2.0 . I figured for $3 more than a Micro Center branded one might as well get over twice the speed on USB2 and a lot more when I get a USB 3.0 controller.
