    LEGO Flamethrower

    I always thought a super-soaker + flame source would make an excellent flame thrower.

    Five Reasons Real Will Lose RealDVD Case

    My understanding is, Real claims they do not decrypt the content they copy to the hard disk. The decryption is done through legitimate licensed methods during playback. The data on the hard drive is essentially a bit-for-bit copy of the DVD. Still encrypted and ready to be played through...

    Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Whammy Bar problems

    I'm curious to hear. Would definitely confuse the issue even more if some guitars (with the jack on the same side as the USB cord) work fine. :)

    Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Whammy Bar problems

    Which guitar do you have? Is the 'phone jack' on the bottom or on the side of the guitar? :p

    Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Whammy Bar problems

    Mine isn't even slightly unresponsive.. Sometimes, even if I whammy like crazy, it wont kick in until the 'line' is almost gone. Makes the game unplayable. I have a co-worker that moonlights at Best Buy. He's going to call this afternoon and see if they've heard anything. I'm returning...

    Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Whammy Bar problems

    To be honest, I think the quality of the guitar is way better than the PS2 version -- however, I think either they used bad potentiometers or they used the wrong potentiometers in them. The guitar feels much more sturdy. I'm rather disappointed in the size of the select and start buttons...

    Xbox 360 Guitar Hero II Whammy Bar problems

    Last night on the way home from work, I stopped buy Worst Buy and picked up GH2 for the Xbox 360. (Yes, I already have it for my PS2, but I'm addicted to the game and I'm looking forward to downloadable content.) So I get home, plug everything in, and get to playing... only to find my...

    Dang nvidia

    Damn, that sucks.. I was planning on buying a 7800GT soon and dropping it in an SLI-capable motherboard to leave room for upgrading later.. Guess I'll just wait for the 7900.

    MGE Aluminum case - $9.99 + s/h

    http://images.google.com/images?q=Powermac%20G5 Only thing to me that looks the same is the fact that it has 'handles' and holes in the front... :p Off-topic edit: 4th image down on the left hand side :drool: edit2 for clarification: It's a pic of Shakira.

    IE renders fine, but Firefox doesn't (CSS inside!)

    See the edit in the first post :) It LOOKS OK without the borders but I'm not sure it's right.

    IE renders fine, but Firefox doesn't (CSS inside!)

    Let me start off by saying that I am relatively new to web development. I decided to jump in with both feet, and head straight for learning to do my layouts in CSS (rather than using tables and frames). I'm running into a little issue here tho; IE is rendering the following properly, but...

    That Laser printer deal is amazing -- 37.95 for a laser printer (after coupon and mail-in rebate).... that's cheaper than a toner cartridge for it!

    Hot. 7800GTX $549 shipped

    Off topic-ish: Hasn't anyone wondered why ZZF doesn't have an add on the front page anymore? I think they've lost their edge and lost their preferred status at reseller ratings and thus lost their requirements for advertising on the [H]. On topic: That's a great price for an XFX card, and...

    HOT! Maxter DiamondMax 10 250GB PATA $109 No Rebate FRY's

    You just keep on believing that. I for one have been bit by maxtor a few times and will settle for nothing less than a 3 year warranty, preferrably a 5 year.

    Dell LCD Codes expires 7/7 (25% off Dell 2405FPW)

    If Dell has a business space based out of Oaklahoma - they have to - by law - charge any applicable taxes. There's no avoiding it.

    You can help make longhorn better!

    I'd love to see this happen for those who don't use unattended installs. It is possible to add mass storage drivers to an unattended install and doesn't require you to baby-sit an install. :)

    $25 (After Coupon) Lian-Li ripoff

    I bit. I had to. You guys are giving this case pretty good reviews for as cheap as it is and I need to build a new system for my sister. This will be perfect. :) Their ResellerRatings isn't that great tho.

    5 Dollar computer * HardOCP / Hypothermia Donation Drive

    Well, as 24 hours have come and gone since Steve's post and I have not received an email, I guess I didn't win. ;) It's cool though, I still think it was $100 well spent. Congratulations to whomever did win! I'm going to go back to surfing the web on my trusty 500 Mhz P3 now. :D edit...

    *HOT DEAL* Dell Networked Color Laser Printer

    The REAL question is, who manufactures that printer for Dell? (Dell doesn't really manufacture too many of their peripherals). It could be Lexmark, Kodak, or even HP. It's quite possible that whoever makes it has a similar model whose cartridges you can purchase for less :)

    Do you have a USB game pad that isn't all fancy you can trade or sell me?

    Just a suggestion, you could do it the [H]ard way: http://www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_adaptor/snes_adaptor_en.php edit: oops, sorry, that's not USB. or you could just buy one of these: http://www.soyogroup.com/products/proddesc.php?id=193 If not, then good luck to you in your...

    Antec Case w/ 300W PS ($55.99 - $30 MIR) $25.99+s/h

    Yeah, you're missing the fact that I'm a complete retard who can't do math.. Fixed it tho. Sorry... I have a migrane and my brain couldn't subtract $30 from 55 properly :) edit: damnit, can't change the real title of a thread :( I'll PM a MOD :)

    My first post in Hot Deals, I hope I don't screw this up ;) I did search the [H]ot|DEALS forum for "Antec" and didn't see this posted. Micro Center Online has an Antec SLK2600AMB for $55.99 with a $30 MIR. I figure for $25.99 + s/h it's a pretty good deal :) Link to case...

    Lexar 1.0GB USB 2.0 Flash $59.99 AR

    That's a limitation of Flash memory. Meeting the USB 2.0 spec makes it a bootable device among other things. Of course, to boot off of it you need an OS that supports it and a motherboard that supports it. :)

    slide out motherboard trays sold seperately?

    I would watch the [H]ot Deals forum, sometimes ATX cases can be found (with a cheap power supply that I wouldn't trust in a system but makes a good test bench supply) for REAL cheap.. Heck, I think NewEgg just had one recently (price has already gone up) for $15.. They're out there if you can...
