    Warm? Woot-Off

    Looks like there's another Woot-Off. Which honestly, isn't that exciting anymore, but hey, I'm actually in the market for a new vacuum cleaner this time! :rolleyes: FYI, and all that.

    Rumor: Intel to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

    source It goes on in more detail, but seriously? I really hope this isn't true (or at least, that mobo manufacturers find a work around). Makes a lot of sense from Intel's perspective, I suppose...

    Automatic check in on Audesk Vault?

    Simple question - is there a way to force files to be checked back into the vault automatically (say, when everything checked-out has been closed, or the user has logged out, or similar), and if so, how is this done? It's getting to be a bit of a problem with some of the people in the group I'm...

    A better liveblog program?

    I've been working with CoverItLive for awhile now, which started out very awesome. Simple, easy to use software that had a portal to the liveblog imbeddable in-page, provided a very convenient interface for others to participate, gave great flexibility in moderation, and required no downloads...

    Intel says an OC'ed i7 as good as another GPU

    http://www.tomshardware.com/news/nehalem-idf-intel-cpu-overclock,6214.html yeah, it's Toms, but their source is Intel. So, nice counterpoint to "Nehalem won't help games at all." "Yeah-huh it will! it'll be as good as an extra video card!" *chuckle*

    20% off anything at FTD.com

    Just tried it for the first time... The Target employee discount page on FTD, which has everything, just at 20% lower prices, doesn't require any sort of identification as being a Target team member, so anyone can use it. Happy shopping! P.S. Flowers help justify new computer components to...

    Can I get a replacement disk from Microsoft?

    I'm on Vista Ultimate 32bit right now. However, with how much the price of DDR2 has fallen, I was thinking of upgrading over four gigs of RAM, which would require reinstalling to 64bit Vista. Only problem is, I can't find that disk anywhere. I tried looking at the bit of Microsoft's site for...

    Best air cooler for the Silverstone LC-17

    I've got all my shiny new hardware up and running (made the jump to Core 2), and I've been experimenting with overclocking this setup. So far I've only been using the stock cooler, because, well, I wanted to see what sort of results I could get with it. Now, though, I want to see how much...

    What's holding back my OC?

    First, here's what I'm running: e6750 2x1Gig Corsair XMS2 DDR2 6400 (the 4-4-4-12 set) IP35 Pro Corsair HX 620 Scythe Katana (all Cu version) So, here's the deal. I got the 6400 RAM because my plan was to run this new setup at 3.2Ghz, just nice and easy, and have it run 1:1 with the...

    Alternate power/HDD activity LEDS?

    I'm working on modifying a Silverstone LC17 (black version), primarily for lighting (this is for my girlfriend, so I'm working to her design aesthetic, not my own...). Everything's going to be red, so the blue power and hard drive LEDs on the front, while not *that* big of a deal, are a detail...

    Availability Deal: Wii and DS at most Targets Sunday 2/11

    Target is planning on having Wiis and DS Lites in stock Sunday. The Target I work at, which is pretty average in size, sales volume, and so forth, has forty-five Wiis and a handful of each color of DS being held in lockup for Sunday, so that we'll be assured of being in stock. I *think* this...

    14.1" Compaq laptop $300 AR at Office Depot

    It's $580 in store, with $280 in MIRs. Sempron Mobile 3400+, 256mb RAM, 40Gb HDD, 14.1" widescreen. May just be in store, or just local, I don't know, though it's good through the eleventh. I don't know the exact model number or anything, as the ad doesn't give it.

    Cables, battery, et cetera for Polaroid m635?

    I recently (tonight...) got my hands on a Polaroid m635. It was a display model at my store, and while it is in perfect condition, it's no longer a current product, and was thus set to be destroyed, but I asked, so I got to take it home. Yay for free tech. Only problem is, there's no...

    C2D e6400 + ECS mobo $199 @Fry's

    It's the ECS P4M800PRO-M V2 that it comes with, which is decidedly underwhelming in a lot of respects, but considering that pricewatch is showing $217 as the lowest price for the e6400 on it's own, that's highly tempting. They've got the e6400 and e6600 with Intel boards at $330 and $430, too...

    TiVo $0+tax AR

    San Diego only, it would appear, but Fry's has a TiVo for $149 with a $150 MIR this weekend, if that's the sort of thing that interests anyone. As a side note, in regards to the other Fry's weekend deals thread, Houston gets six pages of sales? So unfair. San Diego only gets four *whine*

    Mounting a second motherboard

    Okay, so here's my basic idea. I've got a decent, relatively roomy ATX case. What I want to do is take a second mobo, either a nano-itx or, more likely, something like the internals of a MacMini/Aopen MiniPC, and mount it in the empty drive bays I've got. I've got more than enough room if I...
