    Antec 1200 only 131.99 shipped TODAY only

    Looks like a really nice case, but does anyone truly need 12 5.25 drive bays? I remember a professor of mine back in the mid 80s had an IBM PC AT with something like eight 5 1/4 floppy drives for extra storage in the days before large HDDs were available.

    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    The new email deal flyer has it at $34.99 shipped with promo code EMCAKAKAG. Not quite as good as the $29.99 deal, but it is still a great price for a nice processor. Might want to take off the "dead" tag til this expires.

    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    Got mine today, seems mine wont go over 220 at 11.5 multiplier and stock voltage, but was able to get up to 240x11 = 2.64 ghz. I may mess around with voltage a little to see what I can squeeze out of it , but out of time for now.

    I just bought one too, with working coupon code. Nice deal. Note, that it is a shellshocker today, so quantities are limited, and the price will expire at 5pm PDT.

    DVDRW $19.99 shipped New Egg Shell Shocker

    The only drawback I see is that its IDE, but all my boards still have at least 1 IDE port anyway. http://promotions.newegg.com/s...2fShocker_brandBnr.jpg

    Quick question about monitor to graphics card ratio

    I am running a 24 inch monitor in 1920x1200 with onboard graphics. It works fine for me, but then I am not a gamer.

    Stupid question monitor display lanscape vs portrait.

    If it makes a difference, I am using HDMI, and onboard ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics.

    Stupid question monitor display lanscape vs portrait.

    If I turn my LCD screen to portrait orientation, how do I adjust the display? I have looked in the OS display settings (Vista ultimate 64), and in the monitor's (BenQ T241W) settings to no avail.

    External SATA devices?

    Hmm. I had thought of that, and it would be an excellent resource, but it has no external power. The device would have to have its own power supply, or you would have to have a spare PS laying around.

    External SATA devices?

    I recently bought one of these from NewEgg. I mainly bought it for front card readers/USB2/firewire/audio. However, it also has 2 SATA ports. It was my understanding that SATA was a replacement for PATA, and would generally be used with internal devices, while USB2 and Firewire would continue...

    They still had the deal on at my local Best Buy when I did the exchange today. I got the last one they had in stock, but IIRC, the rebates are good for at least a few more weeks. bestbuy.com may be out of stock right now. Edit: I checked my new rebate receipts. The Acer rebate's offer...

    Acer Notebook intel Centrino 512mb ddr ram, DVD-RW/CD-RW 40GB

    I tried it both ways. It worked without a hitch for the first 12 days, then just wouldnt connect last night. It showed the network as "available", but simply would not connect no matter what i tried. BTW, I also use a DI-614+.
