In my AMD builds I now exclusively use either the Arctic Cooling Super Silent Pro or the Copper Silent TC. The Super Silent Pro is $12.99 at SVC, and the Copper Silent TC is $14.99 at SVC. A year or so ago I decided my home office was too noisy and I wanted to quiet things down. I replaced all...

ROFL!! A Colleyvillage-idiot saying that Frisco has too few restaurants (or roads, or doctors, or grocery stores). That may be the funniest thing I've read all day. Step outside the bubble occasionally, sport, cuz right now you're yappin' outcher bunghole. :disgust: I don't live in Frisco, but...

Well, I've done a bunch of looking on the various hardware and CD/DVD sites since yesterday and that appears to be a question not unlike asking "which is the best religion?", if you know what I mean. The people who ran out and bought the Sony 500's and 510's always chime in that nothing beats...

Alright, screw it. I opened the shrinkwrap (risking the CompUSA 15% restocking fee) and installed this Buslink DVRW412RD drive. It's a rebadged NEC ND-1300A. Acme

*bump * Looking for the same information. Anybody happen to know? Acme

I've been hunting high and low on the web to find out about this Buslink DVD+-RW drive that CompUSA has for $199AR today. Does anyone know who makes this thing? It is my understanding that Buslink rebadges everything they sell. So any ideas who made this thing? I have it sitting here in the...

If it was working and then died, and the same symptoms are occurring in two similar type drives, then I would start looking at Windows or hardware drivers. It has been nearly half a decade since I played seriously with 98SE so I don't know how much help I can be on specifics. Did you run any...

oops ... DP

When you are troubleshooting it is always a long shot that there are two broken devices all the sudden at the same time. But that doesn't mean it is impossible. As Sherlock Holmes said in The Beryl Coronet, "When you eliminate the impossible, whatever you have left, no matter how improbable...

Did you check the master/slave/cable select jumper?

No flame intended. It obviously wasn't funny if you thought I was trying to be mean. Sorry 'bout that. :D Acme

Is Norah going to be available at *EVERY* store? I can't imagine there's much of her to go around. And this is a **SMOKING HOT** deal since for $9.99 you're getting a 23-year old chick who just won 5 Grammys. I'm sure that investment would pay off really quickly!!

They have the deep hidden pockets inside both regular pockets, but the little hidden zipper on the leg is only on the right side. I have at least five pairs of these around here and love them. $10.99 is a screaming deal. I like the Dockers Go-Khakis better though. Acme

Ramuser, Go check the CompUSA web site. That Toshiba Bluetooth PC Card (SKU 285816) is only $29.88. Sounds like the big Mesquite sale is going to rip you off for $0.11. :D LINK Acme

Can I use a $100 of $0 coupon I found on another site? I could really use $100 and a new laptop. If these people don't have one in stock for me, I'm never shopping at Staples again. Acme
