    Zotac 9600GT | 69.99 after rebate | Newegg

    Given that for $20 more you can get a 8800GT or 9800GT, this is really very average to poor. The 9600GT is similar to a 9600GSO/8800GS (most versions), which have been selling for $35-40 recently.

    Alcohol 120% - Can't uninstall without original .msi

    Thanks Allanv. It did the trick and let me uninstall when I pointed the uninstaller to the setup.msi file. Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.

    Alcohol 120% - Can't uninstall without original .msi

    Thanks, but I already looked to oldversion. It only has the trial version, which will not uninstall the retail version-I tried.

    Alcohol 120% - Can't uninstall without original .msi

    I recently migrated most of my main system volumes to a new hard drive, which went smoothly for the most part. However, several programs that use .msi installers, including Quicktime and Alcohol 120% cannot be uninstalled without the original source install files, namely the .msi files. Also...

    ECS 8800GT 512MB Fanless for $209.99 AR ($50) at Newegg

    The reason I think the ECS is a better card is the fact that its fanless with a good cooler and because it's retail. The Galaxy is OEM and is not a reference card. Some Galaxy's are apparently better and have a jumper for increased voltage; however, I've heard that those that don't are more...

    ECS 8800GT 512MB Fanless for $209.99 AR ($50) at Newegg

    This is the best price I've seen on a 512MB 8800GT from any decent retailer (Dell purposely excluded), and it's fanless with what looks like a high quality cooling setup. Video card here Rebate here The rebate is good to 2/15/08. There is also a promo code good on 2/7/08 for another...

    E8400 $199.99 + ship w/Google Checkout

    I noticed that after upgrading from Everest 4.00 to 4.20, it now reads the cores separately from the "CPU" and each is about 10c higher. Also, Everest began reading my GPU about 8-9c lower than it had with 4.00, and lower than AtiTool reads it. CPU-z also does not read the vCore; it always...

    MSI P35 Neo2-FR $90AR + 7.50 S/H @ ClubIT

    I built a system around this board a few days ago. I got it from Newegg and the BIOS was 1.1. I flashed to 1.7 and then found that there was a new BIOS category (I think it's called "User Settings") with 2 slots to backup the BIOS settings, similar to DFI's BIOS Reloaded. I was coming from a...

    RAIDMAX O² ATX-302KP Pink Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

    I have two of these: one for my wife and one for my two-year-old daughter. They are not very well made, but will certainly get the job done for computers that will be built and then left alone. The USB connectors on the side of the front (see pictures) are pretty nice, depending on where you...

    XFX 8800GT 512MB @ Dell for ~$200 shipped + tax

    Mine was ordered 11/30 (number 2) and shipped 1/3/08, but they screwed up (or screwed me intentionally) by shipping it Ground instead of Next Business Day. My shipping was upgraded weeks ago and still shows Next Business Day on Dell's site. A rep claimed it was a mistake and offered $16. I'd...

    XFX 8800GT 512MB @ Dell for ~$200 shipped + tax

    Well, I'll answer my own question...just logged in for the hell of it and found that my card shipped today via DHL. I didn't get the notification e-mail that I signed up for, but who cares. I did notice that Dell listed shipping as "next day" and DHL says "ground", but again, I don't really...

    XFX 8800GT 512MB @ Dell for ~$200 shipped + tax

    I just got yet another delay notice, from 1/2 to 1/15 now. I know it's been asked before, but has anyone actually gotten one of these cards? At this point I'd rather have a 3870, but neither card is readily available, especially at a reasonable price. I would get a great deal if Dell ever...

    XFX 8800GT 512MB @ Dell for ~$200 shipped + tax

    The idea that they can't sell them for what they pay and want to avoid shipping is logical, but forgets the critical point that makes this so ridiculous: they are still taking orders. Dell states shipping in 6+ weeks, but that is not an estimate...it's their way of saying "backordered". There...

    Best Buy Online in stock HD 3870 512mb by Visiontek $214.99

    But will the circular prices apply to online only items like this? And how can the 10 or 12% coupons be used online?
