    HOT!!WD 120HD 8 Meg Special Edition YOU MAKE ABOUT $27 AR/PM YMMV at Circuit City

    Bought one for myself and one for my Dad at CC in Milwaukee (Southridge location). Had a friend with me and between the two of us, we got the last 3 off the shelf. He needed one more, so we went to CC in Brookfield. They had quite a few left. While he shopped, I tried the PM. I brought my...

    NOW HOTTER: Sharp VL-NZ155U Mini DV Camcorder for $269AR

    I had my whole order ready to go with B&H and... That really sucks. I was hoping to order this and have it at least in time for my kid's first soccer game of the season. Oh well, I guess I'll take my chances with BuyDig. Great deal, by the way. Thanks! Edit: Nix the BuyDig idea. They're...

    Sorry - I should have mentioned that in my initial post.

    Help me! What's Going on?

    Have you diabled VSync? It's enabled by default and you need to use a reg hack to be able to access the menu to disable it. Go to http://www.guru3d.com and download the Detonator 40.41 Hidden Features Patch (it's still compatible with the latest Dets). You should be able to find it in the...

    New to dual displays, 2 problems with Nview 2.0

    I ran dual monitors for about a month, but they were only 17" CRTs, so I pulled them when I built my new rig, put my 19" back in place and ordered an LCD. I only mention this because I can't go into the nView settings and look at the menus right now, so forgive the generic feel of my answer...

    boo for random reboots :(

    OS? And maybe this should be in the Tech Support forum? XP has a "feature" that causes it to automatically reboot on a system error. That's one potential solution. You also didn't mention if you're running your rig at specs or OC'd. If you're OC'd on the CPU, RAM or Vid Card, that could cause...

    Round Cable for Live! Drive IR

    No dice. The IDE cable has pin 20 blocked. The "missing" pins on the IR Drive cable are closer to the end (8 or 10ish). *sigh*

    How is the Dell 1800FP?

    Does this monitor support a dual-cpu connection (one on the analog and one on the DVI)? Doesn't look like it according to the specs, but thought I'd ask just in case.

    Round Cable for Live! Drive IR

    Currently, the only two things I use my Live! Drive for are the front headphone and mic inputs (much easier than reaching around to the back of the case) and I use the additional Aux inputs for my TV Tuner card (I keep the wires off to the side when not in use). Point being, I'm not utilizing...

    Recommendations please: Large (18"+) LCD Monitor

    I'm in the same situation. I'm hearing really good things about the "]Dell UltraSharp 2000FP: $999.00 at Dell Small Biz. I'm sure you can find some deals to get the price down and I haven't priced it anywhere else. I'm seriously considering this monitor.

    Round Cable for Live! Drive IR

    Thanks techfuzz. This is one of those instances where you kind of smack your forehead and say, "Duhhhhh....". I suppose if I had analyzed the cable a bit closer, I would have seen the truth behind what you're saying. It just never occured to me that there was just a pin missing from the config...

    Round Cable for Live! Drive IR

    Hey all. I just finished a search of the forums and came up empty, so if I'm repeating a question, I apologize, but know that I *did* look first... Anyway, I've been scouring the web for the last week or so trying to find any place that sells a custom-made rounded cable for the Live! Drive IR...
