    Internet connection drops (DNS) after accessing media center on Xbox 360 extender

    Hi chaps, got a puzzler for you, here's hoping we can figure it out. Built a new compy with the ASUS p8z77-v deluxe at the core. Set it up on a homegroup and connected it to my xbox 360 extender so I can watch recorded TV in my living room. Media center on the xbox connects, does its thing...

    How to use my 128GB SSD?

    Got me a new Crucial m4 128gb, mmmmhmmm. SO. How to make it worth $100? 1. Boot drive in my desktop. Main task is games, games and more gaemz along with MS Office, web, PDFs, standard stuff. I have adobe CS5 on there but only minor photo editing etc. Pros: fast everything. Cons: potentially...

    [B&M] Microcenter Ivy Bridge 3570K bundle

    That sounds about like what I've been getting from their customer support. I suppose it makes sense because just about everyone else is OOS as well. Yesterday the girl on the live chat told me they expect more stock to arrive "this week," though she didn't make any promises. I'm stuck waiting...

    [B&M] Microcenter Ivy Bridge 3570K bundle

    I ordered mine the same time, sunday 9 a.m. and mine still says pending. I did live chat with customer support today and the person just said they've had a lot of orders for that processor (mine is the 3770K) and it is taking longer than usual. Pretty much all they said is hang on, but nothing...

    [B&M] Microcenter Ivy Bridge 3570K bundle

    For real. Brand new 3750K and Asus P8Z77-V PRO mobo for $360? absurd if you're in the market for a new system. I only got the 3770K because I need hyperthreading for Folding@Home.

    [B&M] Microcenter Ivy Bridge 3570K bundle

    I got the 3770K this morning because I was afraid the shipping thing wouldn't last long. My order was processed and I got a confirmation email saying it should ship by 5/2. Total was $320 after tax and shipping, so only about $30 cheaper than NE or the zon. The nearest micro center is about 3...

    TAG Heuer Watch Sale

    For real. Gotta have a new watch for each day of the week. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, what's a couple of grand get you? A brand new sandy-bridge desktop with a GTX 580 and SSD... or a little thing that can tell you what time it is. Pretty easy to see the watch is the better deal.

    I ordered one two, est. shipping date of May 9. I'm also a little bummed about the low-res screen, but the components you get for the price are what mattered most to me and I'll just deal with the screen. That 33% off coupon is incredible. Make the upgrade to the 2720QM only $100. Want an extra...

    Microcenter B&M - Intel Q9300 $100 after instant rebate

    If it helps at all, I've been getting those temps on my Q9300 for two years now. I OC'd to 3.5ghz and it peaked at 72 during linpack testing. I fold on it 24/7 at the hottest core usually stays around 67, low 50s at idle. I was really worried about the temps too, but I've had 0 stability issues...
