yep, this is standard for us now. and the fee depends on the size of the display, too. the bigger it is, the more it costs. I was shocked when I bought a little tiny 5" TV for my mom (emergency office usage). it was priced at like $15, but the total came to $26 or so. flipped me out, the fee was...

OK, its been quite a while since I built a box, and am out of the loop when it comes to the power supply. not set on all components yet, but will be in the range of: Intel Dual core, ~2.8 2gb ram 2 HDD 2 optical a single graphics card, maybe an ATI x1900 series or Nvidia 7800 GT my case...

OK, here is the deal. My brother in law discovered eDonkey, and has been on a rampage. He has sucked down about 80 gigs in two weeks. I know this is just begging for trouble. I would like to block this from being used on my network. I have a Linksys WRT54G router. I have tried blocking the...

and this is different from the original NZ plan how? -Cambo

I already posted about my attempt at a PM at CC. no go, even with a reciept in hand. can't blame them though. the only thing that MIGHT fly, is a PM from your credti card company. I know that AE has a good rep for it, and BB is a legit store to PM as well. -Cambo

a note on the questionable "stock mistakes". I have had times where I checked online to see if they had a particular product at my local BB, and have even called, and been told the item is in stock. but when I get to the store, there are none to be found. the employees even look it up, and it...

that is the luck of hot deals such as this. I saw this post very early today, and went down within the first hour of them being open. I didn't want to risk a call. I took the SKU, asked if they could see if they were in stock. I saw the screen as others did, and there were 7 in stock. I said...

"Meet me at BJ's on Alvarado, at 3AM" -Cambo

I went back to my local store, price tag is gone from the display. talked to my inside contact, he checked stock, it said none, and that there was a hold on selling them. I guess it really is a FUBAR somehow, and they just put it on hold for now. I also went to the CC across the street, and...

I installed just the drivers for mine, and not the media source software that came with it. I am now able to sync files just using WMP. pretty slick. edit: I just now went in and was able to C&P files directly through windows exploder. not sure if you can copy playlists like this, or if you...

confirmed in riverside, ca. I just picked up one for myself. -Cambo

it seems as if you are going to have to spend some money, no matter how you look at it. for a HDD, you will need plenty of space, as you already learned. DV footage takes up approx. 13GB per hour. while editing, you will need more room for temp and finished files. I would recommend 200GB or...

if you pronounced it SLEE, and you had two cards in your box at once, would that be a SLEESTACK? ROFL, I crack myself up. and I'm not even drunk!!! -Cambo

the CD I have is from a couple of years ago, so it isn't something really new. I wouldn't say it is bloatware, just a couple of Dell specific things, support-wise. bac, thanks for that link, I will do that ASAP. -Cambo

all my Dell XP discs have been custom ones with Dell specific stuff. Nothing that was too bad that I wouldn't use it for a non Dell system. However, it is likely not legit to do so. On my Inspiron 6000 that I just got, it came with no CD, you are just supposed to use the restore info on the...
