Over the years, I've never purchased a single thing from Tigerdirect etc. I've just never found them having a competitive price on any single item (taking shipping into account).

I'm currently trying to make the same decision. Dell has the Q9550 for $209 right now: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1411855

Two new pairs of trousers!

Please forgive me if this is a totally stupid question, but I'm paranoid that I'll fry my new computer before I get to use it for the first time. I spray painted the entire interior of my computer case with Rustoleum black. I also spray painted all of the back of the case, so no bare metal is...

:( I liked the frog. Never got a chance to buy one of their cards, though.

I've been waiting so long for a CPU deal. Thanks OP, I really hope this comes through!

Awesome, thanks!

Darnit for some reason I wasn't getting e-mail notifications for this thread. The case is not aluminum, so I guess it's just steel. Should I assume that the metal on the inside has some coat on it already, or is it bare? Can washing be done with plain old isopropyl alcohol (so it dries...

I'll try to find some of that paint. Are there any dangers of flaking paint / ESD?

I think that you have to submit the rebate within two weeks, or something close to that. Don't miss the deadline.

Well, I've purchased a case with a window, and the flat gray of the hard drive cage and mobo tray just doesn't do it for me. I'd like to paint the interior black as easily and cheaply as I can, but I've got a couple concerns. 1) Do I have to look for a certain kind of spray paint? Could the...

I hope I get one with the computer case I ordered today. Probably not cause they'll likely ship it in the original box. :(

If you don't mind a rebate, I've heard nothing but good about the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R / GA-EP45-UD3R. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359

I have a question about the pixel mapping. It can do it without stretching in either direction? So lets say you do 1024 x 768. There are black bars on all 4 sides, not just two sides and stretched? I can't decide if I should return the HP w2207h I got for $200 and wait for a deal on this LG.

I am so tempted to buy this. For the last year I've been stuck with the very same computer (Dimension 8200), but with only 256MB ram :(. I'll be upgrading soon though, so I'll let someone else snag it. This RAM used to be ridiculously expensive. Anyways, a bump for you.

Was the Dell a 12.1"? I'd think 1440 resolution would make everything look a little bit too tiny on a 12 incher, for me.

For the 3 cell? 9"? Where are you seeing that price?

I tried the EEE 901, and I found the tiny keyboard unusable, even for my tiny hands. The 1000HD right next to it (at Bestbuy), was great, though. I'd go for the 1000HA over the 1000HD for the atom processor. Try to get it on ebay with the 30% off cashback. It'll end up being around $300. I...

That's funny, I didn't notice that javascript currently sucks in firefox.

Not sure how good of an idea it is to post both his and your addresses on a public forum.

Off topic - but woah, that's the first time I've seen "crisis" spelled without a "y" in a long, long time.

On page one: I only see one ethernet and no firewire.

Refurb.

Deluge on a weak system, Azureus on a stonger.

It seems like Intel VT doesn't really make a difference in Virtualbox, which is my preferred application (all of what I read said that enabling VT makes performance WORSE, for some reason :confused:). I think I'm going to knock the E2**0 out of the picture, as well as the Q9300, unless an...

Sacramento and San Jose, at least.

Short version: Question: E2**0 vs E7200 vs Q6600 vs Q9300? Needs: Web browsing (50+ tabs) Virtualization Occassional gaming, video/sound editing/encoding Concerns: Price! Cache 1MB vs 3MB vs 6MB vs 8MB Intel VT worth it or not SSE4.1 worth it or not Overclockability to 400FSB...

I'm having a really hard time picking out a processor for my new computer. Short version in second post. Right now, I'm giving consideration to 4 different CPUs: the E2**0, E7200, Q6600, and Q9300. Not really looking at E8*00. I previously had an E6750, and felt kind of miffed at spending...

PM me your email address and I'll send you my last one. :)

Hope they stick the dual core atom into a less expensive model as well. Maybe MSi will come to the rescue again.

Hmm, think it was an ATi 3D Rage II or something. Played Mechwarrior 2 really swell. :)

Gotcha.

I knew that name sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. I used to play Utopia, geez, some 8 years back? Good memories. I tried Earth, but I didn't really like it.

You mean Sun's? I love OpenOffice, and it does all I need, but I wouldn't say that it's better than Office.

Limited to no overclocking ability, I think. (on most)

What optical drive are you using and does it fit well? I've read many complaints that long optical drives will not work because they run into the top fan.

At Fry's it was $130 before rebate, with a $30 rebate and an additional $15 rebate. The rebates are kind of messed up, since both call for the original UPC, but I'm going to ask the rebate house about that on Monday. It was advertised on Fry's Friday advertisement, so it should be valid. Also...

Me too. :( Really kicking myself over it right now.

HX520W was $65AR at my Fry's (Sacramento). :eek:
