This one item seems to have taken the DIY computer builder crowd by storm. May not be the greatest deal ever, but it sure is a dandy. I purchased one from the Anchorage BB about a week ago. Put it together this week. I think I may have purchased the last one in the state of Alaska. It's the...

Use Acetone. It's inexpensive and can be found at any hardware store. I've been using it for years on computer computer components. It is excellent. It's also a great general purpose solvent. It evaporates quickly and doesn't make a mess. It will though, react with some plastics and...

Thanks for 'registering' in my little thread, Adam. What a beautiful place in which you live. People just don't understand beautiful until they've seen Valdez.

Are there any other members here at Anandtech from Alaska? I'm not per se looking for a new social group, but I would be interested in parts/trading type of loose network. It's almost like I'm the only home-builder and tweaker in the this vast state. But that can't be true. You don't need...

Between here and Ebay, I've purchased three D820s in the past couple months, total cost $420. I am a BIG AMD fan, but not "fanboy". For these admittedly power hungry, heat belching porkers, I have purchased refurb socket 775 motherboards for very cheap at Ebay. I had to buy new DDR2. But...

I highly recommend these AntecTricool fans. They have a tethered switch that allows you to select from one of three speeds. The middle speed pleasantly not loud. The low speed is very quiet. I've used many different brands of 120mm fans, including all types of Panaflo. These Antecs are very...

P4C 3.2@3.7 P4C 2.8@3.5 Athlon Barton 2800+ P4M 2.4 No Prescotts, not now, not ever. Next builds will be dual core AMD - no doubt about it.

No offense, Sir, but you just don't know how to configure the others. I've been using MBM since 2000. It does indeed monitor the CPU core temperature. So does Hmonitor. Sometimes the configurations for these monitoring programs can be less (much less) than user friendly. I believe that's...

Weird, really weird. I've been using Motherboard Monitor for over five years on AMD and Intel-based systems, OEM and homebuilts. Today in one of my systems, I replaced one of the hard drives with a newer, larger capacity drive. The drive works perfectly, as well as all my software. Here's the...

Buydig.com today on the D70 kit - body, 18-70mm DX AF lens, battery pack, charger, software, cables...$1082 before $200 rebate. That's lens and body.

Amber, Resellerratingsis an excellent tool you need in your online shopping toolkit. To be nice, I'll answer your question. Express Camera's ratings at Resllerratings.com are about as bad is gets!

Concur. Go with Buydig. I just got my D70/18-70mm kit shipped to me from them. Shippin, customer support, accuracy in advertising - all were in order. They are an authorized Nikon dealer. No grey model stuff. Legit warranty from Nikon and valid rebate form.

Ah, I stand corrected. With respect, Greg.

Greg, the vendor you call your current favorite, A&M, apparently is even WORSE than Broadway, according Resellerratings.

I would HIGHLY recommend that before anyone use your "best new friend", A&M Photo, that they check it first at Resellerratings.com. Holy cow!
