    New deal! Refurb 24" IPS touchscreen, 1920 x 1200, $153 + s/h

    Were you able to save the touchpanel? I'm still undecided on whether to remove or not. However if the panel can be put back in I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

    New deal! Refurb 24" IPS touchscreen, 1920 x 1200, $153 + s/h

    Got the monitor today. Condition was mint. No dead pixels that I can tell. Maybe a little blurriness on the bottom left corner but with the start button there cannot really tell. The touch doesn't seem really responsive, might be a setting there but I did go thru the calibration. I don't see...

    New deal! Refurb 24" IPS touchscreen, 1920 x 1200, $153 + s/h

    Picked up the stand today and it is 75x75 and 100x100 so looks like it will work with this monitor. The stand tilts, and pivots which is nice. Also the base rotates. The attaching plate is a quick release so you can attach the back plate to the monitor and snap it onto the arm. The height...

    New deal! Refurb 24" IPS touchscreen, 1920 x 1200, $153 + s/h

    should fit as standard vesa is 75x75 or 100x100. That is probably just mislabeled. I will find out tomorrow when I pick it up. Also there is a 10% coupon floating around which I googled.

    got this stand: http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/58-16580 Haven't received my monitor yet, due this Friday. Too am hoping SO will not notice I purchased yet another electronic item. It's replacing a soyo topaz 24" so there might be a chance I could switch this without her ever noticing.

    Dead: Zotac IONITX-A-U $116 at Amazon

    You can get the same mb at ewiz/superbiiz for $165 after 10% off coupon advertised on their front page. Not as good but still decent price. Don't forget bing cashback too. I have the M350 case and it is a perfect fit for this mb.

    YMMV: Sam's Club - Vitamin Water 20 pack for $8.11

    I think what the poster is trying to say is that a bottle of VT has nearly as much sugar as a can of coke. Either way you look at it 32.5g of sugar per bottle is a heck of a lot of sugar.

    HOT deal on Panasonic headphones

    ditto. I picked one up on clearance at target for about $12 a few weeks ago. I compare them in value to the koss ksc35's. I have high end beyer and sennheiser cans + couple of head amps to compare to. This are really quite good unamped straight out of an ipod.

    Unbrick your PSPwith a Pandora Battery.

    Don't know if its still possible but you can make your psp slim original battery into a pandora. Just open the battery and cut a single trace in the circuit. After you're done then reconnect the trace with a lead pencil. I did this about a year ago and it was really quite easy. No need to buy...
