If you need a DVD burner, portability and can get a student discount, the 12" PB is a no brainer. You have to go with a 14" iBook to get the superdrive and after adding Airport Extreme and Bluetooth, you'll end up less than $100 within the PB's price and a 25% slower cpu and 33% less hard drive...

Dell is a good place to buy monitors from. I just picked up a 930SB from them. Unfortunately, the convergence couldn't be calibrated across the whole screen and there was a speck of dirt on the inside of the glass which I noticed on white backgrounds. I filled out an online form for an RMA...

Try different outlets to see if it's just drawing too much power for that particular one.

Keep in mind MACs are more expensive at first but in the long run not as much. They don't go obsolete in 6 months. In fact, I know people who have MACs that are 4-5 yrs old and still able to run the latest OSX pretty well. A PC would probably need major overhauling to run the next edition of...

Er, the barebones just jumped up ~$60. :disgust:

That's what I did and the speed of burning from one cd to another more than doubled. Thanks.

I was wondering what the best way to set this up is. Currently they are on the same cable, one master, one slave. I plan on doing a lot of CD copying (one drive to the other). Should I have these on seperate cables for faster performance or does it matter?

Isn't onboard sound more CPU dependent?

Thx for the info. But I dont' have a Linksys at home this would just be for when I bring my laptop home to work from there and would need VPN connectivity. I believe it needs IPSec passthru, not sure what else.

Anyone know if VPN works through these routers? We've tested a few wireless with our VPN and only the Linksys seems to work consistently.

I have both the WD SE 80gb and Cuda IV 60gb and the WD sounds like a friggen sawmill compared to the Cuda, yet it is quieter than the Maxtor 'fluid bearing' drive I had in there not too long ago.

Insurance companies suck hard. I dare to make a comp claim that they had to pay $700 for and then my rates go up almost $40 a month as a result. Why bother reporting claims. I'm 29, have 1 speeding ticket over 2 yrs ago and the one small claim and I have a tough time finding a premium for...

I gots these. They are very nice sounding speakers for the price. I paid about $80 for mine a while back and can't complain. Doubt you'll find any other speakers this price range that sound as nice.

Actually, 3M makes one. HERE

I agree about the ram. Also, the WD Hard Drive is too expensive. You can get the SE version of that drive at Newegg for considerably less.
