    EVGA Nvidia GTX 650 1GB GDDR5 $71.99 ar!!

    Anyone know how silent these are? Looks like a double-slot cooler with a fairly open grill, which isn't bad, anyone know more about how loud this thing can get?

    Silicon Dust HDHomeRunPrime $130 shipped

    I've got a problem I've been wrestling with for awhile now. My house has five TVs--three standard def, two HDTVs. Is there any relatively affordable way to get all five set up with these, or should I just concentrate on the HDTVs?

    Chemical principals of resurrecting a phone dropped in water or salt water.

    The alcohol isn't as important as the deionized/distilled water. First priority is getting any trace salts off of your phone, which can draw moisture from the air and cause a short. This is what the distilled water is for; you can get a bottle of it at most grocery stores (and you can keep the...

    Heh, I'll just wait for Zen Magnets to dump *their* inventory. :) Although I would rather like to get a "chemistry set": -125 black -32 * 2-4 bars -plus 10 of every other color All the stuff, in other words, that Zen doesn't have. Wonder how much they'd charge for that...

    Limit one rebate per household, so unless you have a vacation home (or a good friend/family member etc etc) it's 190+200 = 390.

    4/29 @ Tigerdirect: Intel i5-3570K $209.99, (189.99 after MIR)

    What's a good motherboard for this CPU? I'm starting to think I need an upgrade, but I haven't been keeping up with the Intel side of MBs for awhile.

    For TMOUS: Galaxy Nexus vs. HTC One S (Update: Bought the Nexus)

    Amazon doesn't charge tax in CA so it was a no-brainer for me. You can also buy an extended warranty on Amazon (through Squaretrade).

    For TMOUS: Galaxy Nexus vs. HTC One S (Update: Bought the Nexus)

    That last bit sealed the deal for me, or rather for my sister since she's the one getting a new phone. You can find the Nexus for $150 less, it has a higher res screen, and, most importantly, there's not going to be any carrier nonsense about delaying Jelly Bean for 5+ months. Right now I've...

    SanDisk Extreme 120GB $110 @ Buy.com - OOS

    You sure about the SATA II? Everywhere I look seems to say SATA III, including other websites. I'm still going to wait until I can find a similar deal on Tiger or Amazon (CA tax basically kills all these deals until they get even cheaper), but I've so far been hearing good things about this SSD.

    MSI E-350 ITX mobo $60 AR FS

    Anyone know if there's a way to replace the small, whiny fan on one of these with a larger passive heatsink, or is that something you usually have to buy a special board for? I've been considering something like this for a small HTPC frontend, but the tiny fans on most of these boards is a bit...

    Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner Card $220 newegg

    It doesn't seem to be cheap either, at least as far as I can tell. I'm looking into setting up a five-TV household with a Myth-TV setup, and I can't get it done for under $1500-2000, as far as I can tell, maybe more. It's expensive enough that I may as well just pay for the set top boxes from...
