    Silverstar headlights, $20/pair at pepboys, no rebates

    Went to PepBoys after one of my SilverStar went out on me and the one I went to didn't have them for $20... I went to WalMart and got them at their price of $37.99. These bulbs are really great for night driving...they dont give that ghetto look of colored head lights, but you will notice the...

    Comcast to raise download to 3Mbps

    Don't get kilobytes/sec confused with kilobits/sec. 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 kilobyte = 2^10 bits...you do the math.

    what causes tweeting of a mic in front of it's speakers ?

    FYI, those speakers on stage facing the performers are there so they can hear the music. The speakers facing the audience and usually off to the side, in front of the stage and firing away from the performers. If you ever DJed or performed on stage in a similar setup, you'll know that you...

    Comcast to raise download to 3Mbps

    The schedule Comcast has out for the upgrade is not official. They are doing upgrades on a per node basis. Central Jerz was suppsed to be done by now, but they haven't gotten around to the node I'm on. Either way, the dl cap cable modem companies are putting is total BS. IMO, cable modem...

    Patch Pushing and remote profiles

    As far as patch pushing, I wrote a script that pushes out MS patches to servers in the enviroment (700+). I've never really dealt with remote profiles, but I'm sure some/most of the things you are looking to do can be scripted. If you organization is willing to spend money on a per-server...

    TV signal on second monitor with the AIW?

    I have the 8500AIW and it will not allow the TV or ATI DVD windows to move to another screen...either the TV out or to another video card (in a dual, or triple as i have setup). The ATI File player does move though. For watching dvd, PowerDVD lets you move the window to another screen...just...

    Which PS can I get

    I have a similar dual Xeon setup in a watercooled Koolance case...Antec Tru550 is perfect for me...plus, I have more HDs then u and way too many USB devices connected ;) Word of caution though...if you do get an Antec TruXXX with the fan only connectors, do not place a load of over 1A on that...

    LCD: Dell 1703FP vs. Viewsonic VP171b

    Dell does not manufactor their own flatpanels! Call up Dell and ask who their OEM is for whatever model Dell flatpanel you are looking for. I have the Dell fP1800 and Dell says it is an LG OEM. I went to LG's site and if u do a side by side camparision, the only difference is the LG is silver...

    Multiple monitors with different brands of video card?

    No Worries! Out of curiosity, anyone have two video cards of different brand/chipset where each card already has multiple monitor output? If so, do you use any multiple monitor management tools like nView or hydravision? Does everything play happy together? Kal

    Burning Hot! Logitech Z680 5.1 Computer Speakers $6

    Although $269 for new speakers isnt a burning hot deal, its still a pretty good price for these speakers IMO. Ive been between these and the Klipsch gmx-d 5.1s for a while and the Klipsch ones do allow you to add more subs, but dont have the ease of the controller that logitech has. Either...

    Antec True 550 PS $94.99

    I got one of these running in a Koolance case....actually, my second one because the first one I got went bad on me in like 1 month. The PS fans and the fans on the Fan Only connectors just stopped working. Antec replaced it for me, but I had to go through the hassle of paying for shipping the...

    Intel 875P chipset and AGP Problem?????

    I figured out the problem. After a lot of searching and reading on google about BIOS settings, it turned out the AGP Apeture Soze setting was to blame. The mobo was defaulted to 128MB. Te general rule is to have at least twice the RAM on your video card for the AGP Apeture size. I changed it...
