    Looking for a radio/cd player

    I'm looking for more of a boombox. I'm hoping I can get something under $50. Doesn't need a headphone jack, or need to be battery powered. I'm using it in the house.

    Looking for a radio/cd player

    I am looking for a fairly inexpensive radio/cd player that possibly has mp3 playing capabilities. I haven't purchased a radio in years, and was wondering if anybody here could help me out. It doesn't have to have super high quality sound, just something that sounds good to the untrained ear...

    Bad Company 2

    I bought BFBC2 through the steam sale and have been playing single player. I haven't tried multiplayer yet, but seems like it will be hard for a new guy. If there is anyone out there with experience that would want to give me some tips in-game let me know! My steam name is F[heart][heart]

    Microcenter i7 build

    I just read the article on the front page that evaluated different cpus, including the i7. They said the sweet spot would be overclocking to 3.6. With the RAM suggested, would it be sufficient to get to the 3.6 they are talking about? Also, I really don’t have any huge necessities for...

    Microcenter i7 build

    Danny, thanks for all the great advice. I’d say I’ll either get the original motherboard you recommended or the Asus P6T SE Intel X 58 ATX Motherboard from newegg. To you, would it be worth it to pay the extra money to get the original mobo you posted? Should I be getting an aftermarket...

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'm going to take a look at the monitor sometime soon. I am a little concerned about the scratches on the screen. I'm going to bring my laptop to check it out-- I read that there is a nokia screen test you can use. If it fails any of these tests is it not worth...

    Hi guys. I found a person locally that has an FW-900 monitor that was manufactured Dec of 2000. He says there are a few minor scratches on the screen, and the case has no cracks at all. The monitor was just used for personal use at home. Do you know what a fair price to pay is for this...

    E2200HD Review, Part I

    Hi everyone. I've only had a CRT monitor and I've got a few questions about this monitor. I've heard that when you run games in their non-native resolutions on an LCD, the quality decreases. Has anyone run any games in resolutions under the native resolution of this monitor, and if so how did...

    It seems like you guys like the e8400 over the e8500. Is the e8400 superior to the e8500? I see that there isn't too much difference in price. I've already got a DVD drive so I wouldn't need to get a new one. I'm still looking into a monitor. I'm wondering if I got a 22 or 24 inch...
