    Blue line down the side of my LCD

    I have a blue line running from top to bottom on my LCD monitor. Any ideas how this might have come about? Monitor works fine other than that. I tried it on multiple PC's with different cables. Is this repairable?

    earphones help, and car adapter help

    I picked up a pair of Shure E2c's for around 105 bucks for my MP3 player. Pretty bad a$$ for the price. They make more expensive models (E3c's=$150 and E4c's=$300) but I couldn't justify the extra expense for my workouts. If you prefer over the ear head phones try out the Bose Tri Port line.

    IDE to USB adapter

    Anybody know of a real good one? I would like it to be able to do both 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives. I saw a bunch on Newegg but was wondering if someone out there has a good recomendation. I would rather go with better quality than cheap if you know what i mean. Let me know what you guys think.

    which of these 2 LCD widescreen displays ???

    Check out the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW . I have one myself and it is the sh*t. Excelent in all color ranges, more than enough inputs (i have a dvd player and my cable box hooked to it) and a nice price. I got mine from the dell outlet here...

    Hard drive not being detected

    does your mobo have both SATA and PATA hard drives? I know I had to play with the settings on an MSI MoBo the other day to get it to accept both. It was a 865PE Neo3 my buddy had. I can't remember exactly what it was i set it too but if this be the case for you (you are using both) I will...

    Where can i buy dirt cheap pcs?

    I got a dell optiplex gx150 off of ebay for $88 bucks with shipping. Works fine for my VPN server at home. Has a PIII 1ghz, 256mb of RAM, and a 10Gb HD. Not a bad deal. Had to buy a Monitor and Keyboard + mouse. Total cast $165.

    Is dual core supposed to help in these types of tasks?

    are you using one of these yet? I heard that they have a 4gb limitation so are basically limited to just a clean windows install. what is your setup if you are? Any noticeable improvements?

    Poll: Which dvd burner is the best

    I haven't updated the firmware yet. i'll give that a shot. To tell you the truth i am not unhappy with the drive. not one coaster yet. It's just a little annoying watching that slider go across at 12X when all of my media has 16X clearly printed on it. With dual core and a ton-o-RAM my DVD...

    First off....sorry for being rude. Could you please pick another voice for us to discuss reproducing. Asking me wether or not my next gen PC will be able to reproduce the voice of a NASCAR racer is kind like asking me whether or not my new High Def DVD player can acuretly reproduce the video...
