I don't know. AT&T seems to be doing okay for me. ;)

Droid X is close to free ($9.99) at Dell w/ a 2 yr contract. Seems like a pretty decent deal. http://mobility.dell.com/eCommerce/SpecialOffer.aspx?cid=35693_4d2896b90cf941c7bcef7e88c81bfb54

Thanks for the advice... the thread regarding the input lag was really helpful. Based upon my research, I think I've narrowed it down to two screens: LG 37LH30 - 37" Widescreen 1080p LCD HDTV Panasonic VIERA TC-L37S1 37" 1080p LCD TV Does anyone have any experience on how either of...

Hey Everyone! I purchased a Westinghouse 37" back during the craze 3 years ago and unfortunately it's starting to die. I use it as my main screen for my PC and primarily use it to play WoW. I've been looking around, but I haven't been able to find a great alternative. I was wondering if folks...

Thanks for the suggestions. From what I've read, the Phenom II X6 doesn't seem to perform to the same level as the Core i5 from a gaming perspective. I understand the 6-cores and I'm not against using AMD procs, but I fear the applications (games) I'd be using with it will not take advantage of...

My 8800 GTX died this past weekend and I began looking at doing a wholesale upgrade on my existing C2D system components to support a new graphics card. My plan is to take the existing system and upgrade my daughters computer while providing myself a new and improved system. Below are the...

I tried Fry's and with my luck... they were all out. I realize I may be spending more than I would if I bought it on-line, but I really need to get this up and running this weekend. Anyone have any other ideas? I can't believe there isn't a place in all of Austin that doesn't stock a cable...

I just purchased an Adaptec 2405 brown box and I need to pick up a Mini SAS to 4x SATA. Does anyone know somewhere that would stock something like this locally in Austin? Would Fry's Electronics carry this? Thanks!

I actually picked up two 64GB OCZ SSDs this weekend for around $74.99 each after rebate. While the software solution is interesting, I was more interested in the folks that are using dedicated raid controllers with onboard cache to achieve the same result. I thererfore picked up an Adaptec 2405...

I need some more help. I decided to get a little crazy and bought two OCZ SSD 64GB drives and an Adaptec 2405. Total price after rebates... around $340.00. The question is, will the MSI P6N support the x8 PCI-E in the second slot for the Adaptec card? Also, is the Adaptec card compatible...

Well, my computer has been running pretty well for the last year and a half but I'm now looking at upgrading the CPU. Here is my current configuration... Core 2 Duo e6600 @ 3.150 Ghz Scythe Infinity (Push/Pull w/ 2x Silver Stone FM121 at 1600RPMs) 4GB G.Skill PC2-6400 (F2-6400CL4-1GBPK)...

Update: After bumping up the NB voltage on the motherboard and CPU, I reached a stable 3300Mhz. User Name: Xaxius Stability: 7 hrs+ Orthos Small FFT CPU: e6600 OC: 3300 MHZ Stepping: 6 B2 Week: L647 Code: G435 Vcore: 1.43v Cooling: Air Cooler brand/model: Scythe Infinity w/ 2x...

I was able to get up to 3300Mhz (9x / 366Mhz) by increasing the NB voltage by two settings up. Orthos has been running for over an hour and load temp is hovering around 59 degrees Celcius. If I can lock this one down, this will be my operating speed going forward for the CPU. The problem is...

Well... it's a start. Gonna shoot for higher in a couple of days. User Name: Xaxius Stability: 6 hrs+ Orthos Small FFT CPU: e6600 OC: 3150 MHZ Stepping: 6 B2 Week: L647 Code: G435 Vcore: 1.37v Cooling: Air Cooler brand/model: Scythe Infinity w/ 2x Silverstone FM121...

Well... time for some fun with MS Paint! That is how it looks like if you look directly at the side of my case. The red boxes on either side are my Silver Stone FM121 fans running at 1700RPM. The air is sucked thru the heatsink and out the back of the case. Under load, the highest temp...
