That's an ok combo, no heatsink / fan included.

That's a pretty good deal for the CPU, I bought one to replace the 3700x on my Asrock B550M Pro4 mATX mobo. Asrock's support page for the motherboard has VRM cautions for anything over 65W CPUs so this works out for me and I can re-use my existing AMD Wraith Prism cooler. I do a lot of audio /...

It looks like the Hisense has DTS audio and HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel), the TCL has Dolby Atmos and HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return channel). That means the TCL likely has newer hardware inside.

That's a pretty nice deal. Here's a Beelink SER3 Mini PC with the same basic specs for the same price at Amazon. The main differences are the NewEgg PC has 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, and no USB-C port. The Beelink has 2 HDMI and a USB-C port. Beelink SER3 Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 3750H...

This is availble on Woot for the next 15 or so hours for $150 plus tax with free shipping for Prime members (or $6 shipping for non-Prime members), I added a pair of Philips W6205 wireless Play-Fi speakers a couple of weeks ago for true surround and the sound is awesome (this is my first true...

Greetings, all! I've had a SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W power supply running 24/7 in whatever happens to be my main computer, since I bought it in December of 2011. It's served me well but it's had a coil chirping in it for years and the fan is wearing out and the noise is becoming a little...

(Amazon deal is dead, see next post for a link to the soundbar at Woot!) Greetings, all! Amazon has the Philips B8507B 3.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer on sale for $149.99 before a 30% clickable coupon, or around $105 plus tax with free Prime shipping. I bought this for $200 plus...

lol, they actually have a version of this drive with 128MB cache and the last 3 characters of its part number are AZZ. https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-desktop-sata-hdd?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&sku=WD80EAZZ

Zyliss Lock N' Lift Manual Can Opener With Lid Lifter Magnet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F9ZTLJ2 This is my go-to for a manual can opener, I opened a couple of thousand cans with mine when I was running the food truck and it's still going strong. I paid less but it's currently $22...

That's a pretty nice deal but the port layout on the sides of the laptop is kinda lame. The right side has one USB 3.x Type-A and a headphone jack (plus a Kensington lock) and the left side is loaded down with power port, Ethernet, HDMI, two USB 3.x Type-A, and one USB Type-C. The USB Type-C...

Here's the 5TB P10 for $85 plus tax with free Prime Shipping at Amazon: (deal is apparently over) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VNTFHD5

For these small portable drives Western Digital has switched to using drives that have the USB interface built directly on the circuit board instead of using traditional laptop SATA drives with USB-to-SATA adapters. If you remove it from the case you'll have a funny looking drive with a Micro-B...

I don't know and no, unless the fan was replaced before I got the card. There's no evidence that it is anything other than a fully functional video card.

Agreed. I bought a used Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super OC 6GB on eBay back in January for $110, but with shipping and tax it was $133.50. Was still a great deal and performs like new. Not quite as convenient as going to a store like NewEgg and picking up one from their virtual shelf vs. spending...
