    Note owners (any gen), how often do you really use the S-Pen?

    I have a Note 2 and use the S-Pen along with S-Note on a daily basis at work. It's great for jotting down small notes and reminders. It's also useful while doing daily equipment inspections out in the field to jot down any malfunctioning equipment or to jot down any details when getting a...

    AMAZON - Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVac 500-Watt 0.75-HP Electric Duster 120v $47.99 + FS

    I only found out that this existed after I saw the original thread on slick deals hours after the deal had expired :( I'll wait for the next time it goes on sale.

    Logitech Hardware on Sale @ Amazon

    FYI seems like Amazon jacked up the prices on some, if not most, of the items... the deals are no longer as [H]ot as before. Case in point, check out the 3 links from the OP that has the price they used to be and compare to what they are now. Saw someone say something about a G13 for $39 and...

    5% off video card at newegg

    Just a tip... The promo code DOES NOT work with any video cards that come with a game(s) bundled in, open box items, and any other items that come with free gifts. I think the reason that it works with those 2 particular R290s is because you have to register on their respective...

    LG 27EA83-D 2560x1440 IPS Wide Gamut 10-bit 99Hz Overclockable LCD $699 @ Frys.com

    Does anyone else think that for as nice as this monitor may (or may not) be that the warranty needs to be better for the money that you're paying for it? Regular retail for this thing is between $800-$850 and you're only getting 1 year of warranty on it. Yea, you could probably increase the...

    Acer 27in B6 B276HUL YMIIDPRZ 2560x1440

    I came across this Acer monitor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009553 during my search for an affordable NON-Korean 27in 2560x1440 monitor. After some preliminary google searches I have come up empty in regards to finding any sort of reviews for this monitor. The only...

    Warm? Sapphire AMD Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition 3GB Video Card w/ 3 Games $329.99 AR

    That deal wasn't going to last for very long once it hit front page on Slickdeals. I heard Amazon price matched it at some point, but the deal is already dead on there as well.

    Newegg BF Deals Live!

    Last year they did have BF deals on 6950s and even a deal for a 5990. The year before that they had deals on 5870s, of course they were likely trying to move stock since the 6950/6970 "released" a few weeks after BF 2010. So based on their previous behavior from 2 different past Black Fridays...

    Newegg BF Deals Live!

    Welp like the title said, it looks like Newegg is laying a massive rotten egg when it comes to video card sales this BF. After going through their secret 24-hour sale e-mail that I received a little bit ago there wasn't a single deal on a 7950/7970/gtx670/gtx680. It looks like the video...

    Newegg BF Deals Live!

    One things you guys have to remember is that Newegg usually releases better deals for the actual Black Friday. As I recall for the past 2 to 3 years they've done this exact same thing, they've released the turd "deals" early on to hook the suckers into buying stock that they're desperately...

    GHZ question

    Do you guys foresee the current retail prices of the 7970s and 7950s being lowered once the 7970 GEs become available in retail channels?

    Need A Mouse for Big Hands

    First off, I'll apologize for necroing a semi old thread. As a guy that can comfortably palm a basketball, it's difficult to find a mouse that's big enough and comfortable enough for my hand. I'm currently using a logitech G500 and the mouse started to die on me so I decided to look for...

    [H]otter Than Expected? XFX Double D 7950 $304 AC AR w/FS @Newegg

    OP here... Well I looked into the the [H]ardOcp review of gtx 670/680 performance versus hd 7950/7970 performance and decided to pass on this. The review compared out of the box performance and overclocking performance. OCed 670 still beats OCed 7950. Out of the door price for the 7950 is $324...

    [H]otter Than Expected? XFX Double D 7950 $304 AC AR w/FS @Newegg

    This is pretty tempting for me, just as I was ready to jump in to the green camp and get a gigabyte gtx 670 this comes along at almost $100 cheaper. Heck if you can sell all 3 games for a total of $30-$40 on ebay you'd be making out like a bandit. Buuut, I've really been wanting to switch to...

    [H]otter Than Expected? XFX Double D 7950 $304 AC AR w/FS @Newegg

    Lets try and keep this one "in-house" for a bit. I looked on Slickdeals and saw that someone had posted the deal when they thought it was $340 AC AR /w FS and it didn't generate much interest on there.

    Well this was one of the weekly newegg deals on:http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1699376 It's the 3rd one from the top. If you look carefully it says the original price is $399 and that the price after coupon and after rebate is supposed to be $340 with free shipping. However, after...

    MSI Power Edition GTX 670 coming?

    Yea, I don't know if the MSI GTX 670 PE is worth the almost $40 more price premium. I'd have to wait and see what sort of numbers and temps reviewers can get out of them. I was waiting for the Gigabyte WF 670 to come back in stock to purchase that and i think I'm going to go ahead and pull the...

    GTX 670 In Stock Thread

    Sure, some of these cards are in high demand... but sometimes I get the feeling that Newegg is messing around with their stocks to create an artificial shortage. Maybe I've just become jaded because of the crap Newegg has been pulling lately: bending pins on mobos, price fixing during their...

    GTX 670 In Stock Thread

    It's ok... I just checked and it's still out of stock :P I don't have the option to buy it at another site since I'm going to be using a Newegg gift card to buy it. I'm actually considering the EVGA FTW edition, but i'm going to give the gigabyte a few more days of waiting.

    Will I need SLI? (GTX 670)

    That's a sweet rig you've got there, I'd like to offer you some advice: get that pc off of the carpet. Buy a small coffee table/nightstand/something and put it on top of that so that it's elevated a foot or two from the floor to reduce the amount of dust getting into it.

    MSI 6950's

    Your best bet is going to be buying a used a 6950 that is already known to unlock... I don't think any retailer is still carrying reference 6950s that can unlock and the non-reference designs that did have a high probability of unlocking are probably all sold out by now.

    Best video card for Rift and a couple of other games?

    I'm playing at 1920x1200, the card will be going into a i5-3570k system i'm currently building. I'll probably upgrade to a 2560x1440 korean monitor down the line also.

    Best video card for Rift and a couple of other games?

    Hi all, I have been looking for any reviews that bench-marked the Nvidia 600 series vs AMD 7900 series in the Rift MMORPG and have not found anything :( I'm hoping that anyone that plays the game and has tried cards from either series with Rift can shed some light on this. I'm looking into...

    Crossfired 6950s versus 670

    Yes, that's essentially it. Plus, if you decide to go with a dual video card solution down the road you can get a second 670 when it gets cheaper and not have to worry about micro-stutter.

    GeForce GTX 690 - Perfection Inside and Out @ [H]

    So before the price was officially announced I was considering maybe purchasing one of these gtx 690s if they were in the $700 range, however with that $999 price tag I'm going to pass on it. I'd rather have two seperate 680s for that price instead of the 690. I'm interested in seeing what the...

    Sapphire 6950 2GB (Dirt 3 edition) for $200 AC + FS (Newegg)

    It's pretty much a lottery when it comes to getting a 6950 that unlocks nowadays. Most of the reference board 6950s unlocked when they first came out, but I believe that changed once the different AIBs started using a newer/different revision of the 6950 pcb. After that, Sapphire continued to...

    Which 27in IPS Korean Monitor?

    What about the Crossovers? I've also been looking into these monitors myself and the nice thing is that with competition they have started to drop in price on ebay.

    7970 coming down to $449 ?

    AMD would be stupid to drop their prices to $500 like someone above suggested. Why pay the same amount for a video card with less performance than a gtx 680? Right now there's pretty much no reason to go with a 7970 at that price point. For AMD to stay relevant sales wise they'd need to bump the...
