    Core 2 MacBook vs. Core 2 MacBook Pro

    I like the MacBook in every way but my one problem is the graphics card. I'm an architecture student and use Archicad and Rhino on a daily basis. I have an external hard disk and a 24" Dell 2405FPW so disk space and screen size are not a concern. My concern is that if I'm using the MacBook...

    19" Ultra-Light LCD Flat-Panel Display - $136.00

    Oddly enough, I've never had a problem with eCost. I've ordered from them 5-6 times. My roommate had a horrible experience with them. But, I've also had absolutely horrible experiences with the beloved ZipZoomFly and will never order from them again, go figure. Bad resellerratings + mail-in...

    HOT MAMA! Where To Put Your Money If It's Just Sitting In a Checking Account

    I agree with Meritt. Paypal has tried to convince people that they are a bank when in fact they are absolutely not a bank. I would never hold money in my paypal account.

    front page of overclockers.com > opteron 850 $200 !

    soloz2, thank you very much for the heads up. I'm always tempted by price but you've given me another example of why I will not buy from anywhere but newegg or monarch. Those situations are so incredibly infuriating. (i did not forget ZZF, i have had MAJOR RMA/refund problems with them on two...

    Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset $12.82

    http://www.resellerratings.com/seller1969.html Looks sketchy. Newegg has the same ones for like 4 dollars more. Also there are a ton of negative reviews of these headphones on the newegg page (negative reviews on newegg?!?! I didn't know they allowed that.). So, i would say it's worth doing a...

    WD 400GB SATA/150 for $149.99 @ Costco, YMMV

    Blue cash is the hotness. I picked up 2 of the 500s from the outpost deal a couple weeks back (they were like 220 each) otherwise I definitely would have bit on this or on one of the new seagate perpendiculars ... i'm still eyeing that 7200.10 750 ...

    Free Mobile Games

    black man avatar is default icon so generally if someone has 1 post and the black man avatar they are regarded with caution. EDIT: Especially when they are offering "FREE!" ipods, laptops, mobile games, etc.

    WD Raptor 150 gig WD1500ADFD $195 (after $30 rebate) shipped newegg

    Is it just me or do you have to be a total sucker to buy the X (windowed) version. I wonder if Western Digital has really sold any significant number of these. When I first read about it I couldn't believe the price difference. $10 I could see but $60+ is just ridiculous.
