    Mousepad with YOUR OWN PHOTO for only $2.99 + FREE shipping!

    Here are some pictures of the mouse pads I received along with the originals. I could not get the actual brightness of the pads with my camera so add quite a bit of intensity to them. In fact, the pad with JA is really a strong white background and her skin is quite golden. It is far closer to...

    Mousepad with YOUR OWN PHOTO for only $2.99 + FREE shipping!

    I'm in for 2 of them and I don't even use a mouse pad. :D I've got a great picture of Jessica Alba that fits perfectly. Now I get to glide my mouse over her. :P Cheap thrills. Thanks for the post even if it was pure spam.

    LOGITECH Z-5500 NEW $211.95

    If you are a member of AAA (cars, no dislexic alcoholics) you can get a further 6% off on the price. You get the coupon online at AAA. However, when you enter it into the final order with Dell it will not take so you have to call the order in. It took some moving around to different departments...

    Anyone used a Thermalright HR-03 as a single slot cooler?

    Mine is used fanless and the heatsink is on the top of the card. It is on a single 7950GT. If you were running two cards you would have to put one on top and the second on the bottom. The heatsink is quite large and sticks up/down a ways from the card itself. I can see that if you do add a fan...

    Antec P180 initial impressions (Haven't installed anything yet)

    MichaelD, while doing a search for the Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 I came across your thread regarding your system build. I have the same case and the same MB. Three quick questions? Are you happy with the new heatsink? I am not a super OCer and just really want something cheap and efficient for...

    *DEAD, PRICE HIKE* Great CPU prices from a reputable vendor! E4300, E6420, E6600, E6700

    As a CA resident I too am sick of being screwed over on sales tax on some sites while others get the list price. I love NewEgg but when you add in 7.25% they are no longer always the cheapest. Unfortunately, no one else really has the selection that they do all in one place. Plus, their service...

    Klipsch Promedia 2.1

    I've had mine almost 3 years now and I love them. One thing I notice on user comments on New Egg is that people who buy Klipsch talk about how musical the speakers sound while those who buy Logitech talk about how their room shakes because of the bass.

    How is this tv tuner?

    Just now came across your question while looking for something. I bought this tuner at a promotion about a month ago at Frys. When I get my rebate I'll know whether to smile or not. :) Based on what I had read after searching around I decided not to use the CD that comes in the package for my...

    Power supply choices for P180 - choices at local retailer

    I have an OCZ 700 in my P180B. The 4/8 pin will reach the upper left corner running it across the MB. I plan on getting an extension and running along the side. The only complaint I have about this combo is that the cables are quite stiff and the case is really not very roomy considering its...

    Antec 900 vs P180

    I have a 180B and the final choice came down to it or the 900. The 900 was what I really wanted, since I like LEDs, but I couldn't deal with the hassles of all the screws to install and/or remove a hard drive. I test drove one and that was the deal killer. The biggest con of the 180 is the...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Thanks for the quick replies. It's nice to know that other people have had the same problem. The fan froze again this morning and that was after changing the BIOS Fan Spped Contol to Legacy. I've now turned it to Disable so the fan will hopefully just run at full speed all the time. And I...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Earlier this evening I tried a different application, Core Temp, to read my 6600 processor. It was in the 70s which was more than double what I had been seeing with Speed Fan. I finally took the side cover off and realized that the heatsink fan wasn't even spinning. After hitting the blades a...

    6600 on fire. Help.

    Just took the side of the case off. The processor fan wasn't even running. After flicking it a few times with my finger it started up. I have noticed that this fan often does not start up with when everything is powered on. And it will change speeds and sometimes completely stop. Is this normal...

    6600 on fire. Help.

    I have a new build with a 6600. P180B, GigabyteP-DS3, and Corsair 6400. Stock fan. No overclocking I was using SpeedFan to check my temps and thought things were great. 25-34. And then I read that neither it nor the MB BIOS read the actual chip so I downloaded Core Temp. Yikes. It is showing 75...

    Saitek Industries Eclipse Gaming Keyboard $19.99 (AR)

    I got one of these from CompUSA on BF. It's a very nice board for $20 but I partially agree with the person about it being hard to see the keys at night. The real problem is the top rows with the 3rd row (qwerty etc.) being so so. It has to do with the viewing angle of the board as it sits. You...
