There were/are two different cashback programs that have been running and will end soon. The eBay cashback program: eBay was offering 5% cashback on qualifying purchases - but as I understand the eBay cashback program, you had to receive an invitation from eBay via your eBay user name in...

That's exactly what I'm going to be doing.

I will build a Crossfire system now using all of the components I have already purchased - with the exception of the FX-60 processor. I'm going to sell the FX-60, and buy a dual-core Opteron I can overclock to get me by for now. When the upcoming Core 2 Duo platform becomes readily available...

Actually, I'm not a hardcore gamer. My use for this system will be more for video editing/processing and everyday computing and multi-tasking. However, the build is close enough to be a hardcore gaming machine that that is how I refer to it when asking questions. And to answer your question...

I offer my sincere thanks to everyone who has posted to this thread. The advice, suggestions, opinions, debates and arguments have been most helpful, and I now have a better idea of how I plan to proceed with my build. Revised Plan: 1. Sell the new, unopened AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 retail...

Yep. I already bought everything I listed above. The FX-60 is in transit but everything else is on hand.

I sure could use some opinions and/or advice on a build I have been planning for awhile, and have almost reached the point of no return on. My plan was to build a more or less state of the art gaming/overclocking rig today that would stay close to the top of the heap (performance wise) for at...

I'll be hooking up my 780 system as soon as I receive the cables I ordered from CablesForLess today. My speaker wire is due here today and I've already positioned my speakers - just need the rest of the cables to get here. I'll let you know how the system sounds after I get the cabling...

Thanks for the input. I needed cabling for the Onkyo HT-S780 Home Theater system I bought last week but I kept gridlocking when it came to buying cables. So many choices and so many prices. I just ordered all of the cables I need for my home theater system ((except speaker wire) from...

Now if they offered that with a free whine stopper (that actually worked) then it would be a very hot deal.

Got a $1 discount. I don't know why exactly but all of that for $1 off a purchase offended me. A percentage discount would have been good. A higher dollar amount would have been good too. But a dollar? Pass...

I have posted several honest reviews on Newegg - some positive and some negative. The positive reviews appeared and the negative reviews never got posted (without exception). If that practice by Newegg is not dishonest, it is at the least unethical. BTW, based on what I have read from...

Yes, you can disable the audible alarm. I just ordered two of these UPS units yesterday (and a surge protector) using the special code. I?ve been waiting for Belkin to get these back in stock for a couple of months now, and saw them in stock yesterday. I own APC UPS but with the special...

Civic then add a Supercharger. That's what I did and it's a fun, reliable and fuel-efficient car.

I just picked up one for $12.99 shipped. WOOT!
