I just ordered an MSI Z170A SLI Plus. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130900&cm_re=msi_z170a-_-13-130-900-_-Product It has Intel NIC and Realtek ALC1150 sound and attractive price. I doubt I'll ever use SLI but for the price I did not see a better match for an...

$15 32 GB Flash Drive at WalMart Order online, pick up in store, sales tax but no shipping costs. Max L. Update: Having used the stick for a while it seems that the write speed is pretty poor. I'm copying some large video files now under Windows 7 and the speed is reading 860 KB/second...

Hmmm, I also orderd on 6/12 and my order still says processing. Wonder if they ran out? Max L.

Edit: as of 7/14/2009 the price is back to $249.95. I received mine in a reasonable amount of time and have been very happy with it. Granted it isn't a top of the line when it comes to color accuracy but it is bright and big and pretty nice especially for the price. Edit: as of 6/17/2009...

I upgraded my wife (well her computer actually) from an Athlon 1.3 (non XP) processor to an Athlon 64 system I put together. I didn't want to hassle with reinstalling everything right away so I just swapped in the old hard drive and let Windows XP "find" all the new hardware when I booted the...

I've used dreamhost for about a year as well and my only real complaint is that webmail is very slow and sometimes difficult to log into. Of course I don't have a web site per se, I just use it to dump files I'd like to have access to from anywhere and I run the WebCal php calander application...
