    Ebay + Dell 2005fpw

    If you decide to exchange it through Dell, buying it through Costco becomes a bit of a hassle. You have to give them the order number on the box itself, the one that Costco used. Then they look it up and say "oh, you got this through costco. So you need to go to this department." And then they...

    Just got my 2005fpw in from UPS

    No, but it is normal to play games in the dark. And when one corner of the monitor is SIGNIFICANTLY brighter than the rest, making it look like there is a gradient, it definatly ruins the suspension of disbelief.

    Dell 2005 quick bleeding test?

    Being in a dark room makes it more noticeable, but I can see it in a pretty bright room. When you look at a black screen, if the corners seem noticeably brighter than the others, you've got a bleeder.

    Dell 2005 quick bleeding test?

    Let it warm up for an hour or so, run Dead Pixel Buddy with a black screen. Go through the other colors and check for dead pixels. Those are the only two tests i can really think of... http://www.laptopshowcase.co.uk/downloads.php?id=1 <<Dead Pixel Buddy

    2005FPW backlight issue fixed?

    Well, short of the bleeding/pixel problem, I love this display. Everything is crisp and clear, i dont notice the screen door effect at all. If i wasn't ever going to play games/watch movies, the backlight wouldnt even be an issue.

    2005FPW backlight issue fixed?

    Add memory reactivate Winblows????

    As a computer tech, i have to deal with Microsoft activation about 3-4 times a week. Sometimes adding a big amount of memory, around a gig or so, is enough to make you have to reactivate your product. If you have to call, its not that big of a hassle, it takes about 10 minutes every time- just...

    Only problem- that isnt emo hair at all. its shaggy hair. Needs more crooked bangs over one eye and black hair dye...you must ONLY be able to see HALF of his tortured soul. Myspace cruising will find all sorts of emo hair, like this kid from school

    $20 says that breifcase had pirated cd's. Alot of people dont like when their bands go mainstream because their sounds change so much. As I Lay Dying, anyone? Beneath the Encasing of Ashes= Heavy shit. New CD= every song sounds the same.

    DDR Arcade Machine

    Im not so sure if youve ever actually played the game. Once you get to the higher levels, it is incredibly effective as a workout. During the wrestling season, I played for about 20 minutes every night on the fastest songs. Coupled with running in the morning and a good diet, i stayed somewhere...

    [H]ot - Disney's Bambi + a free chicken??

    At Kroger, they have a special "Plus Card" that customers apply for. This card is known as a loyalty card, but i guess the company thought that was too End-Times-y to call it that. Anytime there is a sale at kroger, you only get the sale price if you swipe the card. The card has your name...

    Best PCI video card?

    Googling has brought me nowhere. I can't find many reviews of a PCI (not PCI-E) based videocard. Does anyone have or know of one that would be good for gaming purposes? This kid's parents wouldnt let me build him a computer. So they bought him a Dell. With no AGP card. I think it would be...

    Gordan Freeman: Is This Man Emo?

    Someone should find a picture of a fashoncore emo kid...because those ones are definitly the best. Dont piss them off though, they might shoot you. And then cry about it. And write songs and then cry about it on stage...because thats what an emo does.
