PM'ed about CPU and Motherboard.

The only problem is that anything good that has 3G usually doesn't carry the North American 3G band. Makes it a pain to buy Sony Ericsson phones sometimes >_>

If you use AnyDVD HD, It'll take off anything like the ITC and the HDCP and it'll let you run it over component(or in my case, a non-HDCP DVI port) It's how I do it on my system and it works just great. Grab the internal Blu-Ray/HD DVD Drive and you're set!

Interesting mod, but isn't there a reason as to why AMD shut that CPU off? Chances are it didn't pass QA testing. Just a thought though.

I love my i7. I'm not home much so it doesn't get used much as I wish it would, but its blazingly fast for any development/rendering work I throw at it. Definitely worth the money. I do notice the IHS is very uneven though... I need to lap it and get my temps down. I load at around 75C on Water...

4.0Ghz@ 1.375V with HT on and LLC enabled. With HT off, voltage required to hit 4Ghz just drops like a rock I notice though.

I notice with HT enabled, my system is somewhat faster for VMs and the like, using VMWare Workstation. Windows startup seems smoother too but maybe its just my perception. I keep it on and am running 4Ghz OC'ed right now.

Wow. Well it's definitley cool bit not sure how useful that is unless you're really into eye candy...

I'm with Vanilla here. Those DFI boards are some of the best OCers, bar none, maybe next to the BlackOps(which requires DDR3 though). They take alot of tweaking but the results out of them are great. They do need aftermarket cooling on the MOSFETS and chipset at some point though if you start...

Petra's is awesome. Period. If you go do Local Pickup, you can talk to someone and they'll give you tips and tricks to WC. Prices are great too! Your setup looks good in terms of the WC. I used one of the hidden 5 1/4" reservoirs just so I could go for the sleeper look. I also notice you're...

I'm waitng for those 40nm NVIDIA chips personally. Badaboom is awesome too. I'm sticking with nvidia until ATI gets its act together with the Avivo Video Converter. Actually lets me do something with my video card except play games!

PM'ed about the IP35 Dark Raider.

Well... for the fact I got a reply from the paypal email address you gave me and it wasn't you, that raised some red flags. This guy doesn't sound too happy with you either. And I also now have a witness to you screwing me over. So... you either send me your Xbox 360(Ive seen you post Halo 3...

Dude is that all you have to say? I had one guy saying he'll call the cops on me for frauding him but then we both realize we got screwed! Where is my xbox? Either that, cough up the cash. But wait, you probably don't have it since you used it on a CS:S server!

Me too. Looks like he used this guys account(who I have the cell phone number of) to buy a CS:S server and used MY money to do it. So, he gave the paypal address to me and then asked this guy to purchase a CS:S server for him. So in the end, we both get screwed because I have his paypal account...

Well this guy and I have reached an understanding and it will all hopefully work out. But I wanna know where my Xbox 360 is if it isn't with this guy who I sent the money to! This is all getting very confusing.

Yea. That guy is saying I'm doing fraud on him and he has evidence and witnesses to this transaction apparently. Problem is that I actually don't know CS:S on my steam account. I also haven't been on steam for quite awhile. Looks like I might've hit something bigger here.

Okay. I have a weird development. I just got an email from [email protected](one of the paypal addresses used for the payment of my Xbox 360) Check it out: So... he's literally saying the Xbox 360 was never part of an agreement but a CS:S server?! If I need a server, I would've built one...

Well, if you did, thats great. Really. You just saved me an enormous amount of time trying to pull favors within the federal government and reporting you to IC3. I'd like to see some tracking on it though(please don't tell me you didn't get some this time again)

I appreciate the advice. I'm usually very wary of trading online but I really wanted a 360 so I sorta lost it. Lesson learned. I'm gonna report this guy over the weekend. I wonder what the FBI has to say bout this one!

Yea dude.. No xbox! I've been waiting and waiting and waiting... If it aint coming, just give me a refund, and all is well.

Yea I wired it from my account. I'm going to contact IC3. Just wondering, but what could my local police do if he took my money?

Update: Paypal has decided in my favor! Yay! The Problem: They say they can't recover the funds from the account. So, not sure where to proceed. I intend to PM him and ask for my money back. If that help, I'll probably get the authorities involved on this one. Any ideas?

I got an old protege 3500 and the lcd screen is cracked. I also hear the digitzer go bad on those things. I was wondering how much it would cost to replace both of them and where I could find such parts. If i bought the screen itself, would it get me the digitizer with it?

I just run a macbook pro C2D for my primary system at the moment. Otherwise, I had an Opty [email protected] that I gave to my girlfriend. Depending on the new AMDs, I'm still up for an E2180 system I'm starting to build.

I never heard of a socket change... I've been out of the game too long I guess! If you were look for a really cheap dual, check around for an older Pentium D. Probably find those for next to nothing these days. Also, frys was running an ad for an e2180 with mobo for 100. If you refund the mobo...

I will agree that I was a bit antsy about it. Your lack of communication didn't help either. But also, I have more heat than you do dude. You have NONE along with unverified paypal accounts. I also have a 100% trader feedback on eBay and Overclock.net(a well-known forum). Out of anything, I...

I got these razer protones M100s(the earbuds) They work great actually and have been the most durable for me. Usually around 30-50 depending where you shop. Got good bass, pretty good mids and a decent treble as well IMHO. Check them out. Also come with a ton of goodies and even a carrying case.

Well for me, I want the higher res because I do a ton of graphics work with my MBP and a TON of multi-tasking, so the higher res would allow me to put multiple windows together and etc. It would be nice to have a high-res option like the 17" MBP in my opinion. I'd shell out another 100 or 150...

It'll be part of Leopard. Hopefully new video drivers come with it because mine can be buggy as hell sometimes in XP. And for the record, I am buying it on launch day. :D

Well.. I got a reply. He sounds pretty sarcastic. I'm actually afraid I lost my money but I'm trying to talk to him now to see if I can settle things out. I'll keep this thread updated.

Well still haven't heard from the guy but MoxMoney found me some info on the guy so I might start using that to trace him. If I can get a general idea of where he lives, I intend to file a police report to get compensated.

He might be online but its not like he actually replies to my PMs is the problem.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889234002 Check that Westinghouse out. They make excellent stuff actually. It's got 1080p, RGB, HDMI. The response time is also pretty good as well. Overall, a great bang for your buck LCD. Sharps are good too but they come at a premium...

You have heat?

Well.. Thread got reopened since its been about 2 weeks and I have heard nothing from my seller and he has not responded to my paypal dispute and I have no xbox! I intend to escalate my dispute into a claim by the end of the week if I don't see that xbox or some proof of shipping.

I've actually just never really encountered a seller who has cut communication off so rapidly. I actually buy a ton of stuff off of forums which is why I am so apt to trust people. Then you hear the bad stories of people losing their cash and etc. My fault in this case it sounds like but I still...

Yea I just figured that one out actually. He just wants to cancel the shipping of it until I close the dispute but I don't want to to that until I get my stuff. I did just ask for my money back because I really don't want to have to deal with this. I just want an xbox. That's it.

He said he will cancel shipping if I do not drop such dispute. This is where some times people shouldn't flake out on the delivery confirmation! I'm going to drop the dispute, mainly because I just want my xbox, but I intend to open it up again if things dont settle out.

He replied to my PMs! Thats a sign of hope! I'm keeping the dispute open until it comes in the mail which shouldn't take longer than 7-10 buisness, leaving me plenty of time to either escalate my dispute or just close it. Seems all is well now but I'm still cautious about it. I'd rather not lose...
