I wonder what their new format will be like? There is one in St. Louis Park, MN which is basically in the middle of the Twin Cities metro area. I still think they could open up more in the twin cities. For the time being I'd rather have them add a 2nd floor to the existing one and have even...

Assuming the $50 difference on -V $180 one and the $130 ones is NOT just the Bluetooth and extra heat-sinks, I would get the $180 -V one or the Pro? Hours past my bedtime, so I can't figure it out. If you can, I would wait for the P8Z68-V with Gen 3, PCIE 3.0 that is coming out, very soon I...

oops thought it was a private msg.

Are there anymore 20% off cases deals ? Do these come up every now and then? I am just finishing up a build and haven't figured out the case situation yet though, last thing I need to do today. But I'll just use my main case and put all the new stuff in there for my aunt and uncle if I have...

Since you work there, did you find out for sure if items like this can be covered? Maybe for the rest of us it's just a matter of getting the right manager or something and asking if he/she will do it. Thanks for your time.

WARM _ Samsung 2tb HD204UI $69.99 _ But In Store Only. Got an email and it says it's $70, but in store only with an in store $10 prepaid VISA gift card via mail-in rebate Otherwise would be hot. But still a $10 savings if you go to the store.

Yeah I'm going to make sure I only eat it at home, and when I know I'll be staying in for the rest of the night, just in case :eek:

I have heard these are good. I know Micro Center was using them in their offices at the Minneapolis store, 1-2 years ago. Personally, I would give preference to one with a fan though. However I bought a Thermaltake Max 4 Active Cooling (1 80mm fan) 3 years ago and sold it to my friend and he...

I have to agree. I updated laptop to SP1 last night through WU. It seemed to hang at 17 or 19%. I think it was the 4th time that it worked. Laptop was only used for like 1.5 hours today and no problems. However found this reading with my main PC and had to start it up and am starting to...

If you haven't read this topic post, I would: 80 Gb Intel SSD only has 3 Gb space remaining - was supposed to only be OS & Key Also try this: I like the 3rd page on the Index File in Win7 ----- Was searching for Unlocker, noticed they changed the main webpage, now it's...

My backup PC, an old P4 Asus MB (motherboard) has the SATA-150 also. It has worked fine for me in that one. But I use it in my main Intel P35 MB. --------- However the Samsung booklet says: In some rare cases SATA 1.5Gb/s hosts can NOT establish SATA interface connection with SATA 3.0Gb/s...

If you have another PC to hook it up to I would try that. If that doesn't work, and with the noises I don't know why it would, then I would pull it out of the case (if it's out of warranty) and use a program like SpinRite 6 to try to recover the data while you can. I'm sure there are a few...

As far as the firmware goes this is what I did, Jayman took my post and made it much better. I ran the ESTools 3.01v (IIRC) before and it failed. Then did the patch and it passed. Did this for both of my drives and same results. I'd suggest running this, it takes a long time though, the...

Well I'm hoping that you didn't update the firmware right. From an email that someone posted Samsung used the excuse that they didn't change the firmware number because it would take like a month to do it. Well it's been over a month now. I tried numerous times and the only way I got it to...

Well got mine today and it is noticeably faster on USB 2.0 . I figured for $3 more than a Micro Center branded one might as well get over twice the speed on USB2 and a lot more when I get a USB 3.0 controller.

Make sure if you see Open Box Items on their website that you use the 18 minute pickup option. You have to use your credit card info (or debit) to order it but they do not charge it. You pay for it when you get there, and you don't have to use the card you used to to "order" it, can pay cash...

Well just noticed that it's back up to $80 again. Also noticed Newegg is also at $80 w-SH. I'm sure Micro Center will go back down to $70 shortly, PLEASE. Last night they had 2 Open Box ones at $55.96 each. Was thinking of getting one more and doing a RAID 5, but needed to do a lot more...

Super Talent 16GB Express Duo USB3.0 Flash Drive $24 with $5 off w/ code APPLE4605, ends 2/21 (now says 2/28 ?) Super Talent 8GB Express Duo USB3.0 Flash Drive at $12.60 with the 10% off order w/ code CHERRYTREE10 (max $10), ends 2/21 Both from Superbiiz. I purchased one Samsung...

I tried to do this around 300am after I got the email, but didn't have 50 posts. Now I can, so watch out, next time I will beat you to it ;) After I did the firmware update on it and ran 2 EsTool tests, both passed. I used TeraCopy Pro to transfer files and I used the CRC check option. It...

I'm also still using uTorrent 2.0.4 Build 22450. Woirks fine for me, although I very rarely use torrents. I generally just use it for Linux builds since they are free and I want to save the bandwidth of the people offering it. Also use it for really small companies if they offer to dnld...

The drives are new at Micro Center for $70 now. I don't have 50 posts so can't post in Hot Deals section.

Well I just bought a Samsung HD204UI 2TB hard drive as an open box. I got it for $63.96 when the normal price was $80. Running Smart it was only turned on 2 times and not even an hour on it. So someone must of read you had to do a firmware flash and couldn't do it. I got an email last night...

Thought it was a private one. Sorry.

Well said. However if they can take part of the coding and make it more efficient (use less resources). That should make for smoother gameplay on desktops, that would be the only benefit.

drescherjm, you know your stuff, thanks for all your help in this post and the other one where you helped me get my USB flash to boot. ---- After I did the firmware patch, can't be update if they don't change the version number, which like others have said is really stupid. I copied over until...

I think this is great news. I was on TomsHardware last night and saw that Sandy Bridge was available in Malaysia for a little bit until they got wind of it and threated to sue the stores to wait for Jan. 4th or 6th. Most were bitching that it has the onboard video on there. I was thinking at...

Both FSX and X-Plane 9 are great sims. However if you treat it like you are doing the real thing with as many procedures as possible and try to be strict about it it can help. If X-Plane's flight characteristics can help it feel more like the real thing then all the better. Of course if you...

X-Plane 10 is coming out within 1-2 months last I heard. X-Plane.org forum is a good spot, but it is NOT affiliated with X-Plane.com (well last I read 1 month ago). X-Plane Space Flight forum topic index link (haven't read any of these) So do NOT buy XP9 wait for XP10. I don't think they'd...

I'm not familiar with that one, but sounds interesting.. But I'll second Sandboxie, I have that when I want to go to certain, shall we say unsafe sites in general (pron or is it tron;)). If you install Sandboxie the first time with Firefox it will take everything that is set up in default...

Well last night I choked on some turkey and after trying at my Uncle and Aunt's house for 3 hours (happens frequently with me) to get it back up finally had to go to the ER. Well they couldn't take my insurance there so wasted 1.5 hours and had to go to another one and finally got back at 3am...

Like someone said, PC gamers have more communication options with a chat window in a second or 3rd monitor. More apt to be on forums and go through stuff and get to know each other more. Also what was said about really younger people really just playing the cooler games on consoles and they...

I am playing CyberNations a little bit, not in a war now though. Have been thinking of getting Sins of A Solar Empire for awhile now. Have played single player mode before. Physically can't really do the fun ones anymore without consequences (ie multiplayer or very intense ones can't pause to...

Yeah single player is nice, I think. IHTM%)P

I had the exact same problem. From another post I did last night (or early this morning, wanted to get it done before I went to bed): First off on both PC's the new Samsung HD204UI is the only hard drive plugged in I downloaded the file and made a MS-DOS boot floppy disk with WinXP and added...

Thanks for both of your comments. I did the FreeDOS bootable USB with UltraISO and it worked!!! Thanks so much. I can't believe the other methods weren't working. I even tried that HP_USB_Boot_Utility.exe method and of all of them I thought that would of worked. After it was done, I turned...

First off on both PC's the new Samsung HD204UI is the only hard drive plugged in I downloaded the file and made a MS-DOS boot floppy disk with WinXP and added the 181550HD204UI.EXE to it. Tried in 2nd PC (older P4 with SATA 1.5) and it didn't work with two different floppy's. Then tried...

Yeah if anyone knows about how fast they are at doing firmware updates, that would be appreciated. If it's a month or 1.5 months that's fine I guess since I'll be using it as storage, but it will be plugged in all the time on my main PC (thinking as of right now). I just received mine today...

Keep it short since it logged me out and I lost everything I wrote. Look into Saitek X48 or X52 also. X-Plane should be good, could he get help from the techies at your work. Check out x-plane.org. Also would recommend FS9 also, FSX wouldn't be good on an old laptop, or even a brand new...
