    Anybody bought any games from Consumerdepot.com?

    I mentioned in Klipsch thread, but I think it's hit and miss (probably worse than 50%). My guess is that if customers returned those games, it probably means 1. games have some problems (bad CDs, bad program) 2. they just stole CD-keys Besides, consumerdepot sent me Dawn of War when I...

    Kingmax Superram pc3200 2x512Mb for only $72.99 after rebate at Newegg!

    I have an old intel845g (333MHz) chipset, and as Beefcake84 stated, one of the modules (with red PCB) gave errors at the same location. The setting was at 333MHZ, 2.5-3-3-6 with 2.6V. Now I have green PCBs and they do fine at 354MHz , 2-3-3-6 with 2.6V. Now all I need to do is to wait for...

    Kingmax Superram pc3200 2x512Mb for only $72.99 after rebate at Newegg!

    YOyoYOhowsDAjello (haha, what a cool name!) I also received red a PCB initially, and it gave me a lot of errors even at 333Mhz. I RMAed it, and NEWEGG sent me a green PCB. Now the problem was gone. Try to ask NEWEGG to give you green PCB when you RMA it.

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    To one7, Yes, that's what happened. It's very strange, because they should have assumed that I already claimed a dispute. Oh well, I think I am lucky by getting another software. To Lanyap, The key worked fine for me. I think there are many people who returned HL2 because the installer had...

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    I just got Half-Life 2 today from them. (I ordered it, but they sent me some different software before.) What I did was that I sent an e-mail saying that I will dispute the charge if I don't get any information about how to return the wrong item. They never replied, so I got RMA from their...

    Kingmax 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel Kit $83.99

    Mine was Intel system with 845 chip (333MHz) and the PCB color was red. Mmmm. after hearing good stories of green PCB, I am wondering PCB actually makes difference.

    Mine was running at 166Mhz (2.5-6-3-3), and still giving errors in memtest. Voltage upto 2.6 did not solve the problem either. Good thing is that RMA process was very easy. Still.... i need to pay for shipping...

    [DEAD] Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile Headphone

    I have Sennheiser HD280pro and SONY MDR-CD780, and tried Senn HD-580. I think HD280pro has weak bass, but sounds ok otherwise. HD580 was very good for classical music because it could produce those bright sound very clearly without any added distortion. But I couldn't wear it for more than 2...

    Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer Optical 3.0 Wireless

    i bought this mouse from the same company like a month ago, but i hate it a lot... Ergonomic wise it's excellent, but the initial lag is very annoying. Let's say you stop moving the mouse for 10 seconds, and the mouse goes to sleep mode. Then it cannot track the first few pixels. On top of...
