    OD - Office Depot Deals - Just Go Check Your Local OD Out.

    Hey guys, I'd like to buy the Palm VII and the HP 1100x Laserjet, which B&M OD stores still have them? Thanks!

    Quantum 60GB 7200RPM Ultra-ATA/100 FireBall Plus AS $175 after MIR (ReplayTV hackable?)

    Yep, as a matter of fact, ZDNet.com has (or used to have) an article on how to hack a Tivo by adding a larger hard drive. I saw it one of their shows about a year ago. I'd give you a link but I had trouble accessing ZD's site. Just go there and do a search for Tivo, or even Replay TV hack.

    Nikon Coolpix 950 or Olympus C2040, C3000

    Whitedog, I currently own the the coolpix 800, which is the little brother to the 950. It doesn't have all the frillies of the 950, but it's still a good camera, and I'm very pleased with it. Personally, I chose the 800 for the following reasons: Nikon, like Olympus, is IN the camera...

    Poll: This OEM poll is going to ruffle some feathers

    In my experience, I would not recommend that anyone buy a Dell. We have about 50 here at work, along with some of their dockable laptops. Notwithstanding user error, I'm not impressed by their reliability- ESPECIALLY those cursed laptops. If it were me, I'd go Gateway or HP. But, I cannot go...

    Question regarding install into rackmount server chassis

    I'm just wondering if most rackmount server chassis' allow the install of standard (workstation) type components without much hassle? I was looking at some of the Enermax models, and I'm becoming intrigued by the idea of just installing my personal rig in one of these rackmount baby's. Thanks

    P4's future is looking GOOD to me.

    A good point which echoes my "platform price" argument. That's where Intel is sucking air right now.

    P4's future is looking GOOD to me.

    BTW, "at this time" is "always" the key word in this industry.

    P4's future is looking GOOD to me.

    Why would I compare Gateway to Gateway instead of Gateway to Dell? For accurate comparison purposes of course! You cannot buy a similarly configured Dell and Gateway system period. The price difference alone between a Geforce 2 Ultra and a 32 MB Radeon is quite large- ($382.00 vs. $110.00) just...

    Photographers ... recommend any digital cameras?

    Try to find a Nikon Coolpix 950 at the best price possible <$600.00. For that you get: Nikon optics, 2.1 Megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, a connector for external (slave) flash units, and the ability to use external lenses. Other good ones but a bit pricey: Olympus 3030 3.34 Megapixel...

    P4's future is looking GOOD to me.

    In response to Nox: The fact is Dell does not offer a Geforce2 Ultra, the ATI Radeon is offered instead. Everything else is still identical, even the monitor size, which you pointed out Gateway?s system was a 19?. Thanks again for pointing out that a P4 system can be bought for roughly the same...

    Memory prices dropped again. Accessmicro.com

    Generally speaking, I would beware any memory I buy from them for the following reasons (from personal experience): The 128mb stick I bought was generic-city. Depending on your setup, this DOES make a difference in my experience. Mine is an Athlon setup- stable CAS 2 settings were not possible...
