I see, I'll look into these, but now I am in the dilemma of the cable modem in one room and the dsl modem in another. I was hoping to just get a usb wireless card for the dsl connection to avoid any cabling and I already have a second wireless router I was about to connect to the dsl and try to...

Thanks for the fast response. I hope I am in the right place to ask these basic networking questions, I am hoping there is a different way I could use the dsl whenever the cablemodem goes down in a simple fashion. I assume the easy way to use the dsl when the cable goes out would be to...

I currently have a cable modem connected to a router in my house, and recently added DSL as well since it was so cheap when I put in a home phone. What I would like to do is still use the cable modem service, and connect the dsl to a different router and have that act as a secondary (backup...

This is an embarrassing question, it's been years since I've built a system, so my apologies in advance. I also couldn't seem to get search working here on the forums, and searching elsewhere couldn't get me a definitive answer. Which slot should I put a single Asus GTX280 card in my Gigabyte...

This concerns me, I finally ordered a new 3007 a little over a week ago, since I read bad things (backlight bleed / input lag) about the 3008 and had no use for the extra inputs. Still waiting for my delivery and am wondering what I can do to test it when it arrives to ensure I could get it...

I tried asking the same question during the chat with newegg, wanted to know if I could refuse shipment on one thing but accept the other if it was in the same box, but couldn't quite get a definative answer. She said the processor was in a seperate box, so just refuse shipment on that if you...

I contacted newegg, they were very helpful, and based on your advice I will be refusing delivery of the open box q9300 and will be placing a seperate order for a q6600 - $199 tomorrow I think. I am debating checking the local Fry's (Phoenix,AZ) for sales on Monday first though. As far as the...

Thanks for the feedback. I wish I had not impatiently ordered all this late last night and missed some of these replies. I did change one thing on the list before finalizing my order. I changed the processor to: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz - but it is an OPEN BOX, for $209...

Another "help me confirm this build" thread, was hoping to get a final check to make sure this would all work out OK before I order it all from newegg....I'm sure you guys are sick to death of these posts. Really appreciate any help or advice I can get here. I've got a 30" Dell 3007 on the...

Where did you find these deals on the 3008WFP? I've been checking for a few weeks now and am about to break down and pay full retail price ($1400) for the 3007WFP.

I'm about to take the plunge and buy a Dell 30" 3007WFP, going to upgrade from my Sony FW900. I've searched, and can't seem to find any coupons or sales at Dell lately on these things, and it seems I am left either buying used on ebay (hesitant to spend ~ $900 for used w/ no warranty) or paying...

I'm trying to put together a new system soon, investing the majority of my budget into the older 30" Dell (3007) first, and need advice on a video cards that will allow me to run at it's max resolution for a decent frame rate for games (currently just playing AoC). Not concerned with playing...
