It better be! I just ordered an ND-3520A (black) myself. However, I'm sure someone will come along here and pee in our respective picnic baskets by saying this drive sucks. :P

Whoops! I forgot to include this link to their RMA form: http://ecenter.epius.com/wa/waRequest.asp

I have experience with RMAing an AOC monitor. Envision & AOC monitors are manufactured by the same company, EPI. Get RMA info here: http://ecenter.epius.com/wa/default.asp Their RMA process is okay. Better than some but not as good as others. I'm sure you won't have any problems since your...

Specifically where does Windows hang during the failed installation attempts? Does it always hang at the same point during installation (e.g. Hardware detection)? Have you tried clearing your CMOS yet to see if that has any effect? Also, is the floppy disabled in your BIOS? I know that seems...

I had a problem similar to what you're experiencing with my long since RMA'd AOC LCD. Does the color fade in and out across the entire screen, or in just one area of the screen? Have you tried degaussing the monitor? Does this problem occur uniformly at every refresh rate?

Great! Doesn't sound like we'll be roomies, so buy the biggest set of speakers you can find. :P

LOL...Hey, I?m just looking out for the other guy, especially since it might be me. I don?t know where this guy goes to college, and since my last roommate was into some annoyingly horrible & weird 1980?s punk band called the ?Dead Kennedys?, I figured I?d cover all the bases. :P

For the sake of his dorm roommate/s, hopefully he'll opt for smaller speakers and bigger headphones. ;)

Hmm..I?m not sure if there?s an answer to your question. However, if I may ask you a question, if you don?t need PCIe or AGP, as you stated, then why would you bother with either of them? If you want a computer that's just for surfing and for performing miscellaneous low-level tasks, you can get...

Correct me if I?m wrong, but aren?t computer profiles erased from M$? activation database after a year or so anyway? If a year has elapsed since the last time a particular copy of XP has been installed, you won?t need to call for activation no matter how many hardware changes you?ve made because...

That's okay, and I didn't mean to jump down your throat. I just didn't want any misunderstandings. The only direction I was pointing in was that of someone worried about getting fleeced out of $600. Maybe the next time I need a new computer or an expensive upgrade I'll just buy a plane...

You were robbed. Demand a refund immediately & report them to the Better business bureau.

Sick and tired of what? I'm new here, and if you deigned to read my post you might have noticed that I didn't denigrate PC gaming in any way, shape, or form. And where did I write that "PC gaming is dying". I know it has been written elsewhere, but not by me. My post wasn't flame-bait, but I'm...

Hmm...I never predicted the demise of PC gaming in my post, did I? I'm a PC gamer first and foremost. I'm just wondering if the 7800 GXT will worth the wait and the $$.

I wrote that I wished I had waited. I never said I actually did. :P My system is done save for the vid card & hdd. Well, the 7800GTX isn't coming tomorrow, but hopefully by next week. I'm waiting for that...then I guess I'll wait with rosary beads in hand and hope that Uncle Bill's uber...
