    Does the Iron Egg Guarantee mean anything?

    Turns out there are different iron egg guarantees. There is the price match, refund, and one other. If your item, like mine, only qualifies for the price match then you still get charged 15% for restock if you return it. Lame, I know.

    Does the Iron Egg Guarantee mean anything?

    I got a ThinkServer TS140 from Newegg for $299.99 + $50 mail-in rebate. I thought it was a great deal so I pulled the trigger. Then I checked Amazon. Same machine for $233.98 and with prime, I get free 2-day shipping! So I thought, I should return it, because it is under the Iron Egg Guarantee...

    Looking for a replacement for my CRT ViewSonic G220F in a LCD

    I wish upon a wishing star for a IPS 24" panel at 2560x1600. Sadly not going to happen. I too, and sticking with CRTs at the moment but, 1. they are huge. 2. they suck power (high electricity and not eco friendly) 3. their size is limited somewhat 4. text usually isn't as great as LCDs...

    Dell SP2309W Settings

    The online return process sucks. I used their online forum to post a RMA request, only to be ignored completely. So I called. The first time, after being on hold for a while, I was transferred to tech support because customer support was too busy. I talked to the tech support and he found my...

    desktop 1920x1440 doesn't exist ... wish for 2240x1400?

    I would like to have higher resolution/DPI LCDs as well. I owned a lenovo L220x (1920x1200 at 22") briefly but decided to return it (fuzzy text). I also currently have the SP2309W (2048x1158 @ 23"). That monitor is pretty good, but there is backlight bleed that is really annoying and the...

    Dell SP2309W Settings

    I can post the return process here, no problem. the order did say it comes with 3 year warranty, but it's probably through Dell.

    Dell SP2309W Settings

    I have this monitor too. I am going to return mine for a refund... or I hope I can. The monitor was a great deal at 260, but the viewing angle and backlight bleed is too much for me to enjoy it. I even bought a ergotron lcd arm to compensate but it's no use. Unless I view it straight on it's...

    Need Opty Advice

    Can you tell me why someone like Boeing, with all the money it can spend, would order from a small one man company like yourself rather from someone else who can mass produce AND provide support? I'm not doubting you, but just pretend I'm lockeed martin and I'm interested in buying some...

    Need Opty Advice

    Okay, now, you need to provide specs... what architecture for CPU, storage, video, ram? Operating systems? Are these off the shelf parts or stuff in the range of mainframes that IBM, SGI, SUN, and CRAY used to build? Why would anyone buy one of those versus a really nice CRAY or SUN...

    Need Opty Advice

    You mean Inventor, right? AutoCAD is now bundled with Inventor Suite, I think. Make sure the card you buy is certified . Make sure you run Windows Server 2003 or XP64 so that Inventor can be run inside a 4GB memory space - or else the maximum is around 2.5GB under 32bit mode and you'll be...

    how about a couple of these

    so how much are they? This is a theoretical discussion only :) . I just want to know if these could potentially blow SCSI 15k drives away.

    how about a couple of these

    but the access times look like it beats most harddrives? to increase read/write throughput maybe you could put a couple of these in raid0? It would be awesome - low access times and high throughput.
