    Free Big Mac at McDonalds after 10PM

    So back to the topic. If I buy something as small as, let's say chicken mcnugget sauce which is worth about 25 cents, they'd give me a free big mac? If so, gat dang, that's a steal!

    iRiver H10 5Gb MP3 player for $185!!

    Great deal on sweet looking MP3 player but it looks like 1000 people already signed up. I'm given a measly discount of $45 off the player which makes the price $279.95!! I wish I were one of those people that woke up super early on Sunday....

    Athlon 64 3000+ at 54-60C Idle?! Please help!

    Thanks jhbball. Your advice worked like a charm. My cousin is able to overclock his Athlon to 2.2Ghz and it runs at an idle 46C. Again, thanks for all your help. - Jorman

    Athlon 64 3000+ at 54-60C Idle?! Please help!

    My cousin is having trouble cooling his new Athlon 64 3000+. He writes: I currently built my new rig a couple weeks ago. I'm running an Athlon 64 3000+ on a Gigabyte K8NS Pro motherboard. I have a Chieftek case w/ two intake fans and 2 outtake fans (one intake and outtake run at 2500RPM's and...

    NEC 8X DVD+R/-R recorder $81 free shipping, NewEgg

    I'd say this is pretty hot. I remember it being close to $100 only a couple weeks ago. If I didn't already have one, I'd be all over this!!!

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    In response to everyone that's having trouble with Nero recognizing this media, flash your NEC drive's firmware to the official 1.09. I said this somewhere in this thread but I guess it got lost in the discussion. I was able to burn six discs that were perfect physically and they all come out...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    You want to shrink to a folder on your hdd. A friend of mine had the same question and was ripping his discs to an .ISO file. When the encoding is complete, open up Nero. Under the question: "Which recorder would you like to use?", select the tab that has the name of your DVD burner drive...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Yeah I get the exact same thing. The only thing I can think of is using one of Herrie's hacked firmwares. People said they were able to burn these discs with their NEC 1300A's with 1.08, but since we both had no luck in doing so, they are either using another program to burn the discs or they...

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Yeah I'm using DVDShrink to rip the movies but Nero 5.5, using an NEC-1300A with 1.08 firmware, still doesn't recognize the discs.

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    I tried backing up a movie with these discs but Nero says that they are illegal media. I have an NEC 1300A with 1.08 firmware and Nero 5.5. Not only are 20 physically bad, I can't even burn with the 30 good ones I have! Anyone have the same problem?

    DVD-R 1x Media 100-pk $31!! free shipping (some users see 2x, 4x, or 8x)

    Received my order of 50 DVDs today, only to find out that 20 of them were physically bad. There are regions on the disc where there are darker shades of purple. Has anyone else received these discs in their packs and if so, were you able to perfectly backup a movie? I don't even want to waste...

    DEAD: Madden NFL 2004 for PC - $14.88 @ Target (B&M only) - hotter if OOS!

    I was at my Target (San Jose) and the cashier told me that I had to find another game priced at $14.88 in order to get the substitute. I showed her the rain check with the substitution policy and later called her supervisor to find out what to do. She then told me that her supervisor said that...
