    where to buy motherboard header s/pdif to nvidia graphics card cable?

    I came here to ask the exact same thing. $9 shipped is about the cheapest I can find. My motherboard came with one, but it's long since been lost since I had no need for it at the time.

    Running two external DVD burners simultaneously...

    If this is better suited in Peripherals, then I'm fine with it being moved (mod?). As for the DUPE station, I'm not sure that suits my needs. Seems like it would still require burning one, then duping a second. Ideally I'd be burning two simultaneously... just not sure whether to go USB...

    Running two external DVD burners simultaneously...

    Care to expand? Perhaps use Nero for one disc, and something else for the other? Also, if it's a new laptop, would I want to force each program to use a different core?

    Running two external DVD burners simultaneously...

    As part of my job req I need to burn two copies of a whole lot of pictures at the end of each day. Previously, I'd burn one, then the other... but my boss has to wait until they're done to go home, and he's tired of waiting :) Current setup is a XP laptop with 3GB of ram but an older proc...

    GPS for the non tech savvy?

    My brother is not only navigationally challenged, but tech challenged. He's looking for a GPS unit. Unfortunately, while I consider myself pretty tech savvy (computers/tvs, etc) I am GPS ignorant. There are a couple of models available for $150-ish right now, and I'm trying to weed through...

    Just received a large sum of money...

    A Z06, even at 6 year financing with an attractive rate is still over $1100 a month. Add insurance, fuel and misc and your easily at $1500 a month. Since when did Compusa wages top $30 an hour?

    Advice on car lcd/dvd players...

    We're in the market for a lcd/dvd player for our car. Reviews on almost all of them are both good and bad. Sounds like the Durabrand (Walmart) ones are crap. The two least offensive ones so far seem to be the PVS2901 at Target for $200 (though can't find many reviews) and the Nortech dual...

    Firefly: The Complete Series [4 Discs] - DVD $19.98

    I never watched/heard-of this show, but then the Serenity box art caught my eye so I rented it. Of course, that led to me borrowing the Firefly DVD's from my library. Probably zero chance of them ever making another movie, but I'm buying this anyway, just in case DVD sales might make it so...

    DEAD: AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ AM2 OEM NOW $69 shipped!

    So, my 4400+ arrived yesterday. Thrilled that I got in at that price, not so thrilled when I opened the package. The proc was in a plastic case too large for it and I counted about 10 pins that were bent to the point of touching other pins. I've gently nudged a pin or two on an old tbird...
