Same. I paid a little more for the disc yet still much less than what 7 was selling for. I can't fathom how this pricing makes any sense. I figured they would keep the prices low and maybe try to make up for it with app sales or something along those lines. You've got all this backlash from...

Not giving up the PC but giving up desktops. Not that I game much but I have a PS3 for that, and computers are so fast anymore it's not like a good notebook won't get me by. Notebooks are just hitting their stride now, putting in all the features they've neglected. Starting to see IPS, more...

I think they ran into some legal thing over the Metro name being in use.

I never called you a liar. As it reads, the right to bear arms is prefaced with qualifier in a well-regulated Militia. My point, the initial one I posted that you decide to take issue with in the first place, was that the first part was the one usually overlooked and ignored. Why all this...

Yes, that republican-appointed John Roberts. He's a conservative, that doesn't mean he's voting right 100% of the time. There's a conservative majority in on that Court, of course there's a partisan consideration. That's your reasoning? He votes for ObamaCare and he's no longer a conservative...

We were talking about the first half, which you know full well so don’t play games. That's where it says well-regulated militia, being the qualifier for the second half - which is why there’s even a first half to begin with. They could have omitted it entirely had they simply wanted...

Then count the four dissenting Justices as among the misinformed, because that's precisely what they argued in Stevens' dissent. With 5 republican-appointed Justices sitting they were outnumbered in a vote, nothing more.

No, militia is the word they use. Not people. Let's not start substituting in new words and just stick with what it says. That's not true. Militias predated the Revolutionary War in the US, and were organized units that protected towns and so forth. It doesn't have the loose meaning that...

When then that would raise the question of whether we should just let them keep on playing, and hope to hell the servers don't go down.

99 percent of the time it looks just like 7 to me. I'm mostly just writing docs or in an Adobe app. I don't even see Metro anymore. Once I got the Start menu back and put programs on the taskbar, and boot to desktop, that's it. I wish MS would have it built-in to choose these options, but it's...

Most Americans do support the Second Amendment, that's an absolute fact. Some would stress thinking more about the meaning of whole Amendment however, not just the second half that everyone quotes and the NRA has on it's lobby wall. They leave out the whole nasty "well-regulated" bit. On the...

But that's just it, NRA and other conservative groups aren't satisfied with the results, and are blaming video games and media. They aren't happy with the results other then their own in-house studies. So now, Obama is offering to play ball and test their theories using government-funded...

Also, just so there's no ambiguity about where the political forces are lining up in this debate as it relates to gun control, the NRA's made their position very clear. There are real press conference quotes from NRA Executive VP Wayne LaPierre, from just last month: "There exists in this...

Research like this isn't produced in a week. First you have to get your proposals drawn up, submitted, reviewed, and then if approved the funding needs to be allocated. Research teams get assembled and so on. Then the actual work researching and collecting your data begins, then process review...

It's a fair concern that deserves attention. It's probably hard to tell by what you hear by casual discussion or media reports, but research on this issue has been very mixed. There's a lot of dispute regarding both the quality of the research and whether certain trends demonstrate alone a...

Plus Win7 set the bar pretty high, I liked it more on release than any prior OS they made. 98SE and XP wre solid too but my user experience with Win7 was/is still much better overall. Win8 made a lot of changes to adjust to the times. What I dislike most is MS ignoring the clear feedback from...

I definitely wouldn't put 8 in the category of Vista, or that awful ME. Windows 8 just seems a little awkward with the interface, it's not a flat-out dud.

I was pretty hard on 8 during the RC phase and it definitely took some adjustment. Now that I've settled in with it I think it's a pretty decent operating system. I don't care much for metro but don't have touch capability on my current setup. That said I don't think it's worth going out of...

This was the old setup, same case & CPU cooler though, and no video card in the way. I have a better camera than I did when I took this but I won't be dragging it all out just yet. It's a start though. You can make out the edge of that pale Noctua fan on the left, see the Antec water unit, and...

Sold to stinger Will update thread with a few photos probably late tonight per request, because really who doesn't love pictures of stuff EDIT: So img tags not working for me I guess http://i.imgur.com/nAYRW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/6wFH0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RMfGr.jpg...

Tyson and folks PM'ing: I'm not at the house right this second but I'll snap off a few nice photos probably tomorrow morning or afternoon and post them ITT. I'm not offering a lesser price than this especially as I'm covering shipping. And just to clarify for a PM and anyone else reading: I...

Last bump! I cleaned everything up nice with compressed air, have the original box, manual, the I/O still in plastic (I had two identical boards at one point), the discs, and will throw in a SATA cable. Still a pretty respectable CPU-RAM-Board setup for someone's Dad, $95 shipped.

Death Star something something from my cold dead hands

Going to give this a couple bumps. Looking at eBay used prices it probably makes more sense for me to part out, but then I have to hook this all up to test and take photos, make four auctions... $95 shipped for the lot

Well-used. I'm the original owner, then someone else, then I owned it again, then it was Mom's, now it's sitting in a box. CPU and RAM are installed. Included Intel Quad-Core Q6600 2.4GHx processor Installed in the motherboard (no fan/heatsink included). This is the earlier stepping - B3...

I don't think I can do quite $100, but I have a Gateway MA7 which I believe has a first gen i3 and 4GB RAM. I just bought a replacement screen and charger for it. Right now I need to swap out the screen to ensure that actually fixes the issue first and probably won't get to that until later in...

Question: Couldn't you just drop a replacement screen in there?

EDIT: Sold to tiraides, PP payment rec'd. Thanks--

Tell you guys what, since this is my first [H] sale and I'd like to move computer stuff here in the future, and since people went out of their way to approve me for this forum, I'll offer it at just about the lowest price I've seen on a new one. This is for well-established members with good...

One more try

Bump Not going to go nuts too many times with the bumps, hoping there would be a decent demand for this with the extras.

I love desktops and always have. Problem is I don't actually use mine enough. Right now I've got one okayish notebook I use, a nice desktop I don't, and a tablet now that is nice but not something I find myself using as often as I planned. I think the only sensible thing for me to do is just buy...

- actual item pictured. I can take a better picture of everything later on with a decent camera if requested, it's not handy right this second and I'm just snapping off a cell. Condition: It's essentially new. Bought it on a whim and haven't found that much need for it. I did apply one...

The funny thing is that for all my PC gear, I've always just made do with an old HP, then a Gateway, then a Dell. I didn't get interested in any of it until it became the big thing and now realize my keyboard is terrible. Thanks very much.

THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG Some Dell cheapie, used both shifts + caps lock. I still hate this keyboard

The 3930k is a tough sell even to the people who would most benefit from it. I considered it recently, then looked at the 3770k, and finally wound up going with the 2700k. Not a big difference and you might find a reliable seller on eBay giving a good deal. I snagged one for $270 brand new...

Their customer service is still fairly good at least, so far as I can tell.

NewEgg opened some warehouse in NJ so all of their prices went up 7% for me. I have one more year of tax-free Amazon because they're doing the same. Walls are closing in! I did have a couple of recent orders through NewEgg though, 2 of 3 returned for refund just due to bad luck. I signed up...

Very happy with the 620, I currently have it on a 2700k clocked at 4.2 GHz in a quiet system. Need to look at temps again in a couple of days to know for sure, but so far so good. It's in a one-fan Antec Sonata Elite case with the stock replaced with a Noctua. I replaced board and processor...
