Greetings. I have a couple bad Klipsch 5.1 amps One humming with no inputs and one is suddenly dead. The one with the hum has white stuff on resistors or whatever the tan things are on the little board that's behind/between the two giant black 820uF 200V caps. Looking for a quote or...

Do you get all those emails offering you refunds for reviews? Is there a way to opt out?

The problem with the reviews is that even if you can ignore all fakes, most people will be rating 4-5 stars anyway. Products are generally self selected, and as such, there's bias. If I buy a Dyson, it's because I wanted to buy a Dyson, and I likely chose to pay more than I'd pay for a Hoover...

I'm a "top reviewer" or so the 10-20 emails I get a day in various forms of "engrish" claim. All offer a magic code for free or discounted stuff or my favorite, a PayPal refund of an Amazon purchase price in exchange for a review. Never took any one up on these, but somehow Amazon themselves...

Between Origin Premier (honestly why buy if you're gonna buy at least one more game), half baked previous BF launches, general fatigue with games like this, and many people seeing preorders as a scam, much of the lack of sales could be attributed to other factors.

I tried it on the Shield over a year ago ... Gamecube games worked most of the time. As an added bonus, all tend to work well with Shield controller. Wii games were much less successful. Many close to working, so the year may have helped.

It's hard to know what's doing on with Amazon and Newegg reviews, especially for a brand so popular with newbs like ASUS. I'd consider it a data point, but would consider comments/reviews here more. FWIW, the biggest issue prof builders have with ASUS is 1.0 bios and speed of updates with new...

Got a couple 6 core CPUs cheap from Intel (Retail Edge), so I bought an ASRock Extreme 4 X99 (original model) and ASUS Strix Gaming X99. Both ATX, and nominally in the same market segment (the ASUS is a newer design and a bit higher end). The ASRock has a 5930 and the Asus a 6850. The ASRock...

I can't say I'm any more deserving than the rest, but I'll love and adore that big white whale of a PSU!

Will there ever again be an elegant understated top notch MB? If only SuperMicro or Tyan made decent desktop boards.

I get trying to move the conversation about Thermaltake's alleged (and I use that word to be kind, not infer that I don't see them as thieves) intellectual property theft to focus on the review, but ... Why hasn't the review been modified (on page 1) to acknowledge the serious allegations...

concrete-core chokes and hardened MOSFETs Wish me luck!

looks like the board/cpus is a pending sale.

It really shouldn't matter. Both controllers (the Nvidia one on the northbridge and the Silicon Image external chip) support SATA 2 (300MB/sec transfers, NCQ) and they should have comparable performance (the SI chip is attached via PCI express, so it's not hogging the PCI bus like other...

They are slot 1 CPUs (retail w/ heatsink)--obviously the board is slot 1 too.

I was PMed from someone who bought some of my other stuff (the Antec case I had listed until this morning), and since he was the first to PM me AND he was buying other stuff already AND we're meeting face to face and dealing in cash, I opted for that rather than paypal, mail, references, shiping...

It appears that the AIW card has been sold for $150 (even had higher offers, but I don't play that way). If things fall through, I'll PM the next bidder in chronological order. Thanks for all the replies, and I'm sure given the resonse, the lucky winner knows what a deal he got. Oh, I...

Marked the case as sold, all that's left is the dual P3 board and 2 850mhz CPUs. This makes a great setup for a file/print/web/P2P server. I used it in that role for a while rinning Win2k Server (when I say p2p server, it just ran that apps constantly, thus freeing my gaming rig from being...

bump, error fixed--thanks

The Athlon setup, the TV Blaster, and the RAID card have been sold. The dual P3 setup has been deeply discounted (the RAM has been taken out, as it's been sold).
