    HOT! QUE 80GB USB HD in COMPUSA $99

    I completely disagree with Greg03. Most people don't submit deals to this site so that eBay professionals like yourself can snap up every available item. It's for regular Joe's to go out and pick up some great deals for personal consumption. For that reason, the animosity directed at people...

    HOT! QUE 80GB USB HD in COMPUSA $99

    Hated to me another me too post but this is an Awesome deal. You rock Karnold. Some advantages to this drive that people might not realize: 1. small (not iPod small, but not as bulky as most external drives 2. quiet (no fan) 3. not ugly (this matters for some) As for the 5400 RPM issue, I...

    This sounds like a great deal. Anyone else see this? Bay Area Fry's perhaps?

    Almost ready to order... Which motherboard? Asus P4S533 or Epox 4BDA2+ or Gigabyte 8IRXP?

    I have a very similar system, same case, ram, cpu and I'm running the P4S533. It's been great. I'm only running it at 2.133Ghz, but I do have the memory at 4:6, so it's running 400mhz. It runs well. I do have to say, I think the onboard audio is pretty good. I don't know how much benefit...

    Photoshop 7.0 Full Retail (OEM - no manual) - $39.95

    Two words: State Action. The bill of rights only applies to actions by the government. Originally it only applied to the federal government, but the 14th amendment has been used to apply most of those rights to the states. So, for instance, your mother can tell you to shut the f up, and it's...

    Asus P4s533 @ Newegg

    My P4s533 works flawlessly. I had some trouble with the lan, but I had messed something up. It works great now. And I am *only* using a 330 watt PSU. I think that the perceived problems with the P4s533 involve a lot of noobs getting this board at the same time and posting their problems...

    P4S533 Setup Question

    I have a p4s533, and I hooked up only the regular power connector for the mb and the aux12v special one. But I'm not problem free, as my onboard lan doesn't work. I think it's just a coincidence that the people with trouble used all three. I am guessing my problem stems from being rough with the...

    P4S533 Onboard Lan Won't Work!

    What would a post be if it didn't have something to do with the P4S533? I just put together my rig with the aforementioned board, Samsung PC2700 and the WD 1200JB. It rocks. Only problem is that my onboard ethernet doesn't work. It doesn't work in windows and it doesn't work in linux. Both...

    Antec Performance Plus 660 - Where to Buy in B&M?

    Thanks for the tip. That place sounds awesome. Edit: Just picked the case up. $106 after tax. Great place to shop. No hassle. And no waiting. I'm a happy Antec owner. I just hope this Combo is as quiet as I've heard.

    Antec Performance Plus 660 - Where to Buy in B&M?

    No dice. They don't carry that line yet unfortunately. They were very nice on the phone however. If anyone wants to see what they do carry, they have a web site, www.uneec.com. Eventually, they did tell me to go to Antec, but not before checking the Antec web site to see which case I was...

    Antec Performance Plus 660 - Where to Buy in B&M?

    Thanks. I'm on the phone with them now. Hopefully I can go at lunch and grab one. I'm just over the dumbarton from there.

    Antec Performance Plus 660 - Where to Buy in B&M?

    I tried to order it from NewEgg two weeks ago, to no avail. It's out of stock. I have just enough room for a 660, heightwise and can't use an 880, unfortunately. I did call Antec and it looks like no B&M's are carrying this in the bay area at this time. Hopefully that will change. But it won't...

    Antec Performance Plus 660 - Where to Buy in B&M?

    Does anyone know of a store in the Bay Area that sells this case? I know that Fry's sells some Antec cases, but I haven't seen this one there (or any of the smaller Antec cases for that matter). I ordered one from EMS Computing but it appears that they were mistaken as to whether they had it...

    HOT!!! Motorola V60t Cell Phone FREE with AT&T WS... Central NJ area...

    Does anyone know where I can get this phone cheap in SF? I just lost my Panasonic Allure, and I want to go back to Motorola. I never liked the Allure, felt too much like a toy. I am in the middle of a 1 year plan, but I think I can get a deal by extending my plan for 1 or 2 years from today...

    Thoughts on Onboard Sound and Network

    I just got my shiny new Asus P4S533 board yesterday and am quite excited about the prospects. I am wondering whether to use the onboard ethernet or use my own network card. Does anyone have know if the ethernet is like AC97 and will slow down my computer? Does anyone know if it performs as well...
