    looking for a laptop

    I'm using a desktop from them and it's been great. Only had one problem, a defective video card, but they quickly sent me a new one. Don't know about their laptops though. I just bought a Dell laptop, will see how they are.

    Pick one based on looks: Dell 9300 or Dell XPS gen2

    I am going to buy one of these tomorrow and couldn't really decide which. My dad is paying for it as a highschool grad present, so money isn't really a problem. I just didn't really like the cover of the XPS, though I realize it is a slightly better machine. Just trying to get some different...

    Recommend me some new Wi-Fi Hardware

    alright, that helped a lot. I think I am just going to go with a cheap 802.11g network, I don't have the skills for the linux, and when I read the board FAQ here, and it said: Ad-Hoc networks with more than 2 nodes can have strange hidden problems where “A” may see “B” & “C” but “B” cannot...

    Gaming Headphones w/ Mic for > $100

    http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat640035/cat1430032/prod440020 I have those, and they've been great. Unless you want noise-cancelling, they will serve all you needs wonderfully. They're the headphones that most gamers use.

    Good Soundcard?

    games mostly. counter-strike and other games like that sound is very important. you need to tell if someone is creeping up behind and whatnot.

    Good Soundcard?

    my onboard sound sucks. the mic stopped working, and sound it all distorted now. I don't know why. The mic works on other computers, so I know the onboard sound. I know if i get a soundcard the problems will be fixed, so what is a decent one? I'm running windows XP.

    How can I break through windows XP (for school comps)?

    This situation to compare this to would be your dad putting restrictions on your account from his admin account, and you don't have his password. The computer has set priveledges and stuff, like I can't get into certain folders and install stuff. I know getting the password would work, but is...

    how can I disable these LEDs?

    that's the case I have, and at the top corners in the front there are LEDs. Whenever I put the computer on Stand by mode, which I like to use, they flash like a strobe light, and they are very bright. This is a problem at night. Is there anyway to make them not do that? I looked through...
