    NewEgg RAPES YOU on shipping.

    Lol! Nice find! and I'm glad 'cause I've always loved shopping there, quality, customer service, speed...Maybe now I can shop there still and not be shunned ;-)

    strange problem with a notebook

    I'd lean towards overheating. Happens with a computer at work. It'll work for a bit, sometimes longer sometimes shorter (I'm assuming depending on load) but it would have to sit for a while before it would turn back on. Could try redoing the northbridge deal but I'd try just doing an overall...

    Where can i get an 8-16gb thumb drive for cheap?

    FYI, I tried the shutdown sale. Seen about 20+ people leaving empty handed and I got a hint but still went in. Seemed like they jacked the prices up and cut the raised ones by 30%....That was a week or two ago so maybe there actually are deals now...Needless to say I went down the road to Best...

    Where can i get an 8-16gb thumb drive for cheap?

    I have a 16gig Corsair Voyager from Newegg. Was like $20 or less after MIR. The rebate only took about a month, no mess ups. The drive itself I love! Seems to be pretty good paced with transfers, nothing amazing but look what you pay ;-) But one thing I really like is the case is a thick...

    Klipsch ProMedia 2.1

    I've been a Klipsch fan for years, ever since I got my 5.1 setup. The bass isn't overwhelming but the sound of it all together is just so rich and pure. If you got the Shure's you know the rich pure sound. I've honestly not heard the other Logitech's you're talking about but I absolutely love my...

    Arctic Silver drying in open?

    Ok, I kinda smucked up. I applied AS5 to the cpu and gpu in my xbox 360 following a guide, but I don't know if it was a mix up in guides or if my xbox is different than other models but the screws are to short. Now the freshly coated processors with AS5 are going to have to sit in the open for...

    Help, cooling system, $200. Your opinions.

    Thanks for your posts guys :) Today I remembered a couple more questions, 1. Are there some good graphics or whatever type of programs that can just run your pc ragged to test it for temps? 2. I would also like to know what are some good temp. programs for readoffs 3. Is there a way to...

    Help, cooling system, $200. Your opinions.

    Okay, I've been studying up on overclocking and such a lot lately, now that my warranties are up I figure I may as well lol. Anyway I am definitely in need of a cooling system and I am pretty much sold on water, so you air guys can try your best but it'll be tough. Yes Aigo, I read your...

    Ketchup / Mustard / Mayo ?

    Best way to have 'em is salt, pepper, and ketchup. Yes pepper, don't knock it until you try it either. I made fun of my friend for weeks before trying it, and then I loved it.

    Best MMORPG

    Alright, my friend has been switching from FFXI and WoW for over a year now because he gets bored. He is looking for a good MMORPG. He has cable internet, a decent computer (can run WoW and alike games with lower-mid graphic settings). He will pay up to around $15 a month. Charge to initially...
