    Systemax Acquires Circuit City E-Commerce Business

    Over the years, I've never purchased a single thing from Tigerdirect etc. I've just never found them having a competitive price on any single item (taking shipping into account).

    Can paint inside of the case be dangerous to components?

    Please forgive me if this is a totally stupid question, but I'm paranoid that I'll fry my new computer before I get to use it for the first time. I spray painted the entire interior of my computer case with Rustoleum black. I also spray painted all of the back of the case, so no bare metal is...

    Painting Case Interior Cheaply

    Darnit for some reason I wasn't getting e-mail notifications for this thread. The case is not aluminum, so I guess it's just steel. Should I assume that the metal on the inside has some coat on it already, or is it bare? Can washing be done with plain old isopropyl alcohol (so it dries...

    I'll try to find some of that paint. Are there any dangers of flaking paint / ESD?

    Painting Case Interior Cheaply

    Well, I've purchased a case with a window, and the flat gray of the hard drive cage and mobo tray just doesn't do it for me. I'd like to paint the interior black as easily and cheaply as I can, but I've got a couple concerns. 1) Do I have to look for a certain kind of spray paint? Could the...

    L227wtg-pf Review and official thread (with sucky camera Pix) :)

    I have a question about the pixel mapping. It can do it without stretching in either direction? So lets say you do 1024 x 768. There are black bars on all 4 sides, not just two sides and stretched? I can't decide if I should return the HP w2207h I got for $200 and wait for a deal on this LG.

    Todays Sale :> RDRAM, $15 shipped

    I am so tempted to buy this. For the last year I've been stuck with the very same computer (Dimension 8200), but with only 256MB ram :(. I'll be upgrading soon though, so I'll let someone else snag it. This RAM used to be ridiculously expensive. Anyways, a bump for you.
