    1 TB Western Digital External HD, USB 2.0/eSATA/Firewire - $119.99 Fry's B&M

    Western Digital My Book Home Edition, SKU #5532940. I checked their online price, which showed up as $199.99, so I'm assuming this is in-store only. Best Buy has the same drive for $229.99, so if you can get them to do the price-match plus 10%, you can it for $108.99...

    Warm? Panasonic 42" 1080p Plasma and Blu-Ray Player for $1299 at Fry's

    I missed this in Friday's ad because of the way Fry's advertises ($1799 before savings), but they have the Panasonic TH-42PZ77U and a free Panasonic Blu-Ray player for $1299. Sales tax kind of hurts the deal, but if you're in the market for a new TV, Panasonic plasmas are hard to beat. The...

    FS: BFG 7800 GTX OC, Wired Rock Band Guitar for 360, Razer Copperhead Mouse (Blue)

    BFG 7800 GTX OC: $95 shipped. I don't have any pictures because the card is in my system now. The card's been running perfectly for over 2 years, but I'm in the mood for an upgrade. The mounting bracket is a little bent (it came that way out of the box), but I'm sure you could bend it back if...

    Did Microsoft redesign the power supply for the 360?

    I sent my 360 in for repair after it red ringed on me, and when it came back, there was a new power supply in the box. It looks the same as the old one, except that it has 2 pronged connectors without a ground (both where the cable connects to the unit and where it connects to the wall), instead...

    Problems syncing iPhone in Vista

    i haven't been able to sync my music to my iPhone, and it's driving me nuts. i've completely disabled DEP, but when i try to sync my playlist, the iPhone and iTunes will say that they're syncing, then it craps out with an error saying that it cannot copy to the disk because it could not be read...

    iPhone activation with another AT&T SIM

    so i'm an AT&T customer, but i can't use the iPhone on my current plan because i'm a legacy blue (pre-cingular) customer. what i'm thinking about doing is activating an iPhone with DVD jon's method while i wait for a true SIM unlock. i know that if you activate an iPhone and then replace the...

    Is there any way to make the thumbnails larger in Vista?

    i'm talking about the thumbnails that come up when you hover over things on your taskbar. right now they're too small to be of any real use outside of nifty eye candy. edit: how do you make thumbnails larger in folders with pictures in them? i remember seeing screenshots with a slider at...

    Anybody get their Audigy 2 ZS working in Vista x64 Beta 2?

    i tried the beta drivers that creative has on their site, but they didn't even install (6+ months old and made for an older build). the released drivers for x64 professional installed, and windows says everything's working ok, but i get no sound. anybody have any luck?

    How about a new "Incredible Machine" game?

    i would plop down the cash for a physics processor if someone redid TIM with real physics. all the weird rube goldberg devices people make in HL2 and oblivion are cool, but the objects just don't seem to behave right. :shrug:

    Need headphones for music, any recommendations?

    sorry to start another headphones thread. i'm looking for a decent set of headphones for ~100 bucks. i'll be using them exclusively for music. i'd like them to be portable, so in-ear would probably be preferable to full cups. i've seen a lot of people around here recommend the shure e2c...

    Putting music on a 360...

    ok, so i'd like to put some of my MP3s on my 360 so i can blow shit up to AC/DC in ghost recon. i tried putting a data CD full of MP3s into my 360, but i couldn't find an option to copy the files to my HD. am i just missing something completely obvious, or am i going to have to burn and...

    Any place to find out the release dates for demos on Live?

    is there any place, like a website or something, that tells you when new demos hit the live marketplace? i'm on my computer a lot more than i'm on live, so it'd be more convenient for me that way.

    A look at what you'd need to run UT2K7?

    got this from an article linked on the front page. seems as if the demos that epic has been showing off recently were running on QUAD-SLI setups. i have no doubt that they'll fine tune things a lot more before the game ships, and they're probably using the extra horsepower to show the game in...

    Fight Night Round 3 (X360) for $47.99

    i don't know how many of you guys saw this weekend's fry's ad, but they're going to have fight night for only 47.99. the catch is they don't get it until thursday afternoon, and i think it might be B&M only. still, a pretty nice discount if you're willing to wait an extra day.

    Honestly, what the heck is the point of Steam?

    the announcement that HL2 is switching to episodic got me thinking about valve's little experiment in content distribution, and apart from being able to showcase the work of independent devs and offer episodic content more easily, i honestly don't see the benefit of steam to us as gamers. i...

    How do I force Matlab to use the AMD core math library?

    Question about multi-rail PSUs...

    when a PSU has multiple 12V rails, how are components split up between the rails? is it based solely one which leads i use, or is there some sort of "intelligent" load balancing to even out the distribution?

    Anybody else sick of the claims of "realistic" physics?

    is it just me, or have other people noticed that this term gets tossed around so much that it's lost all meaning? everybody's always raving about "realistic" physics in games, but i think that's a load of crap. shooting someone with a shotgun shouldn't make them do cartwheels through the air...

    Ghetto (no cussing in thread titles) mousing surface...that works well

    after i bought my razer copperhead, i realized i needed a new mousing surface. when i was cleaning my room, i noticed that the texture on one of my 3 ring binders felt exactly like the smoother side of my old func 1030 pad, which is when i got an idea. i took a 3 ring binder and cut off one...

    30 day trial to XBOX Live Gold?

    Preliminary 64 bit versus 32 bit benchmarks with HL2, post your results here.

    note: steam defaults to the 64 bit code path once it updates, but you can force 32 bit by launching the game with the command "-32bit" unfortunately the 32 bit path seems to introduce corruption with water, as seen here. i ran through various levels with fraps and cut my benchmarks right...

    ok, so i've got some issues with the rig that's in my signature. occasionally the system will hang on POST, right when it says "detecting IDE drives." the only way to get around this is to power down and then back on. other times it'll POST and boot into windows, but the hard drive that's...
