Printer option is parallel only. At least you guys with slow printer connections got it to work - I dealt with Siemens tech support for 2 weeks before I finally gave up and returned my wireless version of this. Nothing would make it work with my HP 930C or 970Cxi printers. After making me...

I actually bought the combo 10 days ago on sale for $119, then pricematched last week to $109, now I have to go back in the next 2 days for $99. And here I thought it was a good deal at $119! Although, waiting in line for 45 minutes last week makes me think twice about going back for only $10...

Lowest price I've ever seen on this combo prior to this was $109. You may want to consider getting your heat sink and fan elsewhere, however - the Frys in Fremont doesn't have anything but a bunch of returned units in questionable condition. Prices good Weds and Thurs only.

Searchmaster said: Searchmaster, I was perfectly happy with my Dish PVR until I saw a DirecTIVO at a friend's house, then I realized what I was missing! No worries about programs actually recording when they're supposed to, no worries about the guide data actually downloading, no worries...

You'll be sorry if you buy a DishNetwork PVR before comparing to the DirecTV receiver with integrated 2-tuner TIVO. The DishNetwork 501/508 is impossible to hack to larger capacity, the menus suck, stability is generally poor IMO, and it has 1 less tuner! The Hughes DirecTIVO series 2 is...

My target ad this weekend said you get a free 2-liter bottle of coke when you buy HPCoS for $14.99. That must be worth a few bucks on ebay, really sweetening the deal, eh?

Don't waste your time - I filled out all their crap a few months ago and it said I did qualify, but never got anything I was supposed to get.

Remember that Brady Bunch episode where Cindy wanted to live by "exact words"? Kind of reminds me of this stupid CT law. Screw businesses into having to be extra explicit in their advertising (or run a completely different set for CT) because the consumers lack a shred of common sense or just...

$34.95/mo with $50 activation fee isn't much different than $39.95/month with no activation fee. Still, if it's available for existing customers without activation fee...

Didn't see any K7S5A pro at the Frys in Fremont yesterday. I agree, though - if you're settling for the K7S5A, you probably won't be overclocking so the 2000XP for $99 is (was, and will be again soon knowing Frys) a much better deal.

ZakPC, you should have gotten 2 sticks of DDR instead of 1 - with nForce motherboards, having a 2nd stick enabled the 2nd memory channel, giving you wicked fast memory access (which helps performance since the onboard video uses the same memory).

Well both of these printers have been working fine on my SMC7004 printer server port for the last year, and it has the same limitations. I just disabled bi-directional communication and it works fine, just doesn't tell me when my ink runs out, etc. I can't imagine why this print server would...

Anyone had any luck getting the print server to work? I'm trying to set it up with an HP 932C or 970Cxi and can't get either to work. Speedstream tech support wasn't much help but told me to try reinstalling the printer drivers with the printer directly connected to the PC, then switch it over...

Picked one up at my small local BB, $69.99 shelf tag, 2 left after me. Computer rang up as $114.99 but they adjusted it. Went back later for another 1 (for a friend) and shelf was empty, $69.99 tag was gone. Early bird gets the worm!

There seems to be growing concern about getting the $50 rebate if you don't pay "full price" for the Axim. Buyer beware!
