Deal is somewhat back, coming up at $189 now for me.

the 2.1's were nowhere near the quality of the 5.1's, especially sound wise. On that note, my 5.1 non Ultras have lasted me for going on 9 years now, and the only issue was what i posted a few posts back, very recently. I couldn't be happier with them.... except if they had more inputs ;-)

lucky for me, none of my components were dead. I simply wiggled the relays, made sure the fuse was snapped in correctly, and moved many capacitors and resistors that were touching other components so they would cool better, and amazingly the sound came back in full. @raptor, would you be...

Did you end up ordering any? I'm looking for a relay so I can try to fix my Amp also. Please let me know.

did you check for bent pins on the cpu? If you find any, VERY carefully use a tiny screwdriver or something to straighten it out a bit, and see if you can get it into the socket.

seems like a good deal for exclusive items, but I find that much of the more common items are cheaper elsewhere... why do the manufacturers always try to screw us :-p I love guinness, cheers and thanks for the heads up!

If you're looking for cheap, a Buffalo WHR-125 or WHR-G54 are great with DD-WRT firmware... But, if you really want an upgrade, Get the Linksys WRT-350N. Its wireless N (good range), runs DD-WRT, and is a gigabit switch, so all around you have a nice upgrade.

another vote for best mouse ever. I wish they would make a wireless version.

they used the outside as a heatsink to avoid the need for a fan. I have the 8 port version and its great.

certainly with a bit of overclocking, but probably not at stock. heres a review comparing the 2.0ghz Conroe-L to the Celeron D 365 (3.6ghz) among others. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/conroe-l-preview.html

Thats a pretty sweet deal. for buyers: keep in mind we don't know if these are Newcastle or Venice core. Newcastle is 89w, has the old memory controller which locks RAM at pc2700 if all 4 dimm's are used. Venice is 67w, has the improved memory controller, and overclocks better. :)

you want FAR soap? :p go to kmart, get a 4 pack of duracell batteries, head over to the beauty department, grab any 2 proctor and gamble products (many variety of soap ;-) ), make sure to get the coupon form on of the on shelf promotion displays, and when you ring up with the coupon, you...

bang for the buck is definetly not one of Apple's strong suits. They're pretty, but they're pretty overpriced :-p Get a vostro or any other laptop that you can find with good specs for your price range. If you fancy OSX, try dual booting Windows with Linux. Its got the eye candy and speed...

thats a grey to grey response time. That means the real response time is probably 6 or 8ms. Still nice though.

check again and get your refund, costco deal is alive again ;)

Its ALIVE! (haha I had to.) Now I hope it stays there since I'm planning on ordering next week!

the patriot seem to have better timings at ddr2 800, and is rumored to be Micron D9, which would make it a better deal I believe.

update the drivers, if the sound is still not to your liking, invest in a sound card that you can carry form system to system when you upgrade. Not only will it sound far superior to on-board sound, but having a dedicated sound processor will put less load on the cpu and slightly increase...

the Asus P4C-800 is one of the best boards ever made, IMO, but very hard to find nowadays (875 chipset). My 'extreme gamer'/ Graphic Desinger friend is still running that in one of his systems i built with a P4 3.4 EE since they are dirt cheap now, and switches between that and his AMD64 system...

Don't run around in socks on carpet beforehand :p I've built 30+ computers and never had a static issue either. The above suggestions to touch the case sound about right.

Some Belkin stuff is fine, just overpriced. Even after "40% off" you're still paying nearly double what you can find it for elsewhere! nice deal belkin....:p

keep your eye on this page for updates http://www.asrock.com/support/CPU_Support/show.asp?Model=939Dual-SATA2 also, dont forget you will need this expansion board, and DDR2 RAM. http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=AM2CPUBRD&c=fr&pid=d8d20ebaf4628434a52b16aed2abb3f0b46bdcfda9e5ed9e700b1cdbff4297a7

stumbled upon this and find it very useful. Its lists a ton of "Woot" style and other deal of the day sites in a convenient format.. not just another Woot tracker. Havent seen it mentioned before here, so I thought i'd share. http://www.dodtracker.com/hotlist.html

Link was broken, correct link here http://www.wholesalesubscriptions.com/Maxim-Magazine-p-414.html Thanks for pointing this out!

Woot has 2 pairs of Razer Pro|Tone m100 in-ear headphones for $29.99 + 5= $34.99. These retail for around that price for 1 pair, so this is pretty much a BOGO. All the reviews I read rated these very highly for the price, one ever claimed they matched and slightly bested the Sennheiser...

the 7200.10 has perpendicular recording technology, which results in a much lower (nearly half) seek time. If you plan to use the drive as the primary hard drive, I would recommend a 7200.10 as they are noticeably faster. If the drive is just for storage, it really wont matter much unless you...

eh, warm at best... 3-4-4-8 @ PC3200 is very shitty, you can get always get Ultra brand RAM with the same specs for about this price

this is the W2, not the W3. I believe it was only the W3 that does not suffer from banding and backlight bleeding, but don't quote me on this without looking into it :p

I'm not aware of any options other than Samba mounts or FTP that would be better, but just to be sure, have you tried disabling the Auto scan for network folders? http://www.itamer.com/windows-tip-turn-off-automatic-folders-search/214/ You'll still be able to see them when you want to, but it...

I switched my family router to a Moto SB 5100 years back, and it was an astronomical jump from the ISP provided modem (probably because it was a jump from DOCSIS 1.1 to 2.0). My current ISP (cablevision) supplied us with a Moto SB5150? I think-- the current one on the site says SB5120, but...

3-3-3-8 was as low as they were pushed in a review i read, so they are VERY cheap modules, as expected http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/hardware/1615_1.html

Its not on the website at all anymore :mad: i was considering buying it too!

I have intermittently recieved the same error on my K8N Neo2 Platinum. Open up the case, unplug all drives (from the drive and the motherboard) and remove all cards, and reseat them. Plug everything back in. Also, what DIMM's are your RAM in? I find that with 2 sticks, I get fewer issues...

Thanks for that link, very informative. Since I have a PC P&C PSU with adjustable voltage rails, i think a simple Vdimm = Vio mod would be a quick fix for this matter, assuming I cant get the memory stable otherwise :)

I'm considering getting some of the Team Xtreem pc4000 (BH-5) for my K8N Neo2 Platinum, but i'm not sure if it will run stably. Its rated at 3.3-3.45v @ DDR500. From what I've gathered from this forum and the MSI forum (just browsing them), it seems there is or at least was a 3.1v board...

pulled from the specs page: "Used by newer HDTV set-top boxes and DVD players, the DVI-HDCP connection allows the transmission of uncompressed, copy-protected digital content to your high definition display with stunning image fidelity and clarity." So the monitor has the folllowing: 1 VGA...

running a K8N Neo2 Platinum right now. Decent board, but PICKY AS HELL with RAM. I even have RAM on their 'tested good' list, and I battle intermittent issues (BSOD's for a couple weeks at a time that mysteriously appear and then vanish.. usually after the RAM is reseated) I've run tests on...

you have PM

I am not sure if there were high temperatures in the chipset prior to the heatsink swap, but there were no high temps after. I imagine there was damage done since the fan had been dying for 5 months and my brother just left it alone, likely resulting in high temps. Reformat resulted in the same...
