Well, with one day left for step-up, I decided to trade in my eVGA 7900 GTO for an 8800 GTS. I'm really impressed so far...this card overclocks like a monster!! I have it at 660/2000 (stock is 500/1600) with no sweat! Along with a very modest overclock on my CPU, this thing is cruisin'!! I'm...
I currently have an Enermax (only a few months old) Noisetaker II EG495P-VE 485W in my gaming system. Recently Frys.com (Outpost) had an Antec NEO HE 550 on sale for $70 shipped, I couldn't pass up the deal, so I bought one. I'm trying to decide which would be the better for my system. I...
We went on a company (all expense paid) convention/vacation to Cancun for a week. The resort was all inclusive (all food (it had 11 restaurants), alchohol, mini bar and tips were included). Here are a few pics...

Anyone have experience or an opinion on this player?

Or have a better choice to a 1-2GB player in the sub $150 range?
I have a thread going in the Apple forum...been looking at iPods...but for the price, this looks like a nice...
I've decided to use my test system also as a dedicated gaming system...
System Specs. (items in bold are new)

We are getting an under counter tv for our kitchen. The logistics of running coax to it are pretty much impossible. Anyone know of a (cheap) wireless solution to get a tv signal (coax or RCA) to it?
Thanks.
Looks like a better case...it says Aluminum in one of the descriptions, but I don't think it is. Got mine on the way...here's the link.

It was $19 shipped.
I've been resisting the urge to put one in my test system:
Intel P4 630 (3.0GHz, 2MB L2) EM64T CPU SKT775
Asus P5GL-MX PCI-e
1GB (2x512) Corsair VS in Dual Channel
Hitachi 80GB SATA HDD

It seems kind of weird to get an FSP dual 12v (18v+18v) 450w PSU for $50...anything wrong with it or is this just a great deal?
Is matching model/manuf. when making a raid 0 array? I have an Hitachi SATA 80GB HDD, but I can't find a matching (exact model) drive. Would any drive do (knowing I need to match the size), or should I try to stick at lest with the same brand?
Thanks.
A few weeks ago, a co-worker's X-box was giving him problems...wouldn't read any discs. He picked up a new one, so I gave him $50 for it (figured I could at least get the hdd out of it...just something to mess around with)...I also got the controller and Madden 2k4. I was bored today, so I...
I have a Dell Latitude CPx. It was working fine, I tried to put another SO-DIMM into it but it wasn't compatible. I took it back out and when I restarted the laptop the display is kind of moved up and to the left on the screen. It kind of does a weird blink/flash and overlaps itself. I hooked it...

$.40 a gig...not bad. Allthough I've had a bad experience with fry's outpost, I think I'll give them another shot and order one of these.
EDIT>>>
I just noticed it's the 1 year warranty drives...have to ponder...
Anybody remember playing this one? I just picked it up for my GBA-SP...
I played the hell out of it in the arcade back in the day...then got it for the NES and played the crap out of it again. I saw it for the GBA and had to snag it up! I also picked up Donkey Kong...classic Nintendo...
I purchase 99% of parts/supplies for my business from Newegg. They kick ass and their service is the best.
However, lately the sheer number of mail-in-rebates on their site are beginning to worry me. They are also listing them in the AFTER MIR price. I doubt it will happen (and I hope...
A friend of mine has a broken xbox...one day it just decided to give him disc errors and cleaning, etc. doesn't help. So I'm buying it from him for $50. I'm going to try a new optical drive first (to see if it gets it working), but I'm thinking more along the lines of modding it. I am...

I can't decide which way to go. I'm die hard, pro AMD...but I think the P4 with HT also has merit. Here is what I am looking at.
AMD
MSI RS480M2-IL Socket 939 ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Micro ATX - Retail
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice Socket 939 - Retail
Total = $240.98...
This should probably go in Hot Deals...but I think it will be appreciated here more.

A few weeks ago I picked up a Western Digital USB2.0 80GB external drive. It has a 2MB cache drive in it. Would switching it out with a special edition WD with 8MB of cache make any difference? Or is it limited by the bus speed?
Not sure if this is the right place for this...
I want to get some case badges made up with my company name on them for the systems I build. Anyone know of a reliable place online to get some made?
Shuttle AV49PN Socket 478 ATX MB & Intel P4 2.53GHz CPU $169.00
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=A-AV49253-K1&cat=MBB
Not a bad deal...put together something similar at Newegg and it was about $200 (CPU alone was $145).
Shipping is about $8.
I looked through the stickies and couldn't quite find the answer I needed. I am building 3 systems:
3GHz P4 (probably socket775, AGP and NO overclocking)
1GB PC3200
AGP nvidia 6600 (non GT)
(1) 120GB SATA HDD
CD-RW
Floppy
(2) 80MM Case Fans
The budget on the PSU is $45 (MAX)...
Maxtor/CompUSA 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache
$94.99 -$55 Instant Savings = $39.99
Not too bad, it's PATA...would be good for a spare drive, Linux or Folding box...
http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=0-N82E16817171003
Was going to pick one up while they're on sale...anybody have one? Or have an opinion on the PSU?
I did a search and couldn't find a similar thread...
As we all know, Newegg rules! However, competition is what drives down prices :)
Post your RELIABLE Online Retailers here. Reliable as in, "Yes, I have purchased from them and didn't get screwed" ;)
Here are a few to get things...
Holy crap what an awesome deal, no rebates...this is what I paid for my eVGA 6800NU last summer :(

Great fans...wires are sleeved and it has both molex and 3pin connectors.

I've bought a few used cards over the last couple months. I just realized every video card I have now (since I got rid of my 9500 pro and Radeon 7000) is nvidia based. I have the following cards (slowest to the fastest):
Diamond Viper V770 32MB (TNT2)
Elsa Synergy Force 32MB (Geforce...

I went to Officemax to pick up a chair mat for my computer chair...and they had their clearance table out. I saw an 80MB WD External HDD sitting there. It didn't have a price on it, so I asked the guy to scan it. It came up $29.00 :eek:
He said, "Holy crap...I wish I would have checked...
