Yeah, I got the same problem with IDE driver. Took me a couple tries before I figured out not to install it. At 2400 speed, its hovers around 58C. The PS im using is a 400w Powmax that computer geeks includes with its black case for ~$33 (yes, Im poor). I didnt modify the heat sink (ie...

Got this package at Frys. Not very stable. Random crashes during stress test and games under XP. Its going back... Note: I didnt overclock it and CPU temp is 55C.

They sell a real 9700 for 199, why take the chance?

Picked one up yesterday. I live about 10 miles from the transmitter farm and my 15-year-old rabbits ears had difficulty getting all the DTV stations. Replaced it with the 15-1890 and everything came in crystal clear. On top of that, my wife likes the look of it too.

Hello oil experts, What happens when you over fill the engine oil? I saw the mechanic put 9 quarts of oil in my car but a few hours later, my 'check engine' light went on :confused:. I then checked the owners manual and it said the car only take 7.5 - 8 quarts. Since I didnt want to drive...

ATI does have a HD component dongle for their 8500 series card. Not sure how good it is though. Heard it limits DVDs to 480p and has slight overscan problems. Any one have this setup?

model 65809 : $2299 to be replaced by 65311 model 65819 : $2499 to be replaced by 65411 They are blowing these out to make room for the new models. Heard the only difference between them is 2 extra strech modes (same crt guns). Also, Mitsubishi will offer a "Promises module" to...

Go to the dell.com home site. Camera is $399 - 10%(automatic) - $25 coupon (found on other sites) = $335 + Free shipping. Camera got good reviews. IMHO, its the best bang for your buck. Edit: Coupon expires today 8/8. Studrew

Comes up at 379 now :(

Hello all, I just purchased a Sony tv at goodguys for $3500 and the salesman pushed for me to get a 3 year extended warranty for $100. Sony gives a 1 year manufacture warranty. I have heard from a friend that the extended warranty is just a waste of money. Should I get it? Thanks. Studrew

This is an awesome deal. Been researching prepaid phones and was about to go with ecostplus, but this beats it hands down. Only bad thing is you have to buy one of their Kyocera phone ($99 and 129). Not a great selection...

WARNING : It says the phone will ship in 24 hours on the product page but when you are about to check out, the estimated shiping date is 6/28/02. The $150 amazon rebate says you need to purchase and activate the phone by 7/2/02. Hence, you have to pray the phone gets to you in 4 days (2...

Called up AT&T. The CSR said rates will only increase in certain areas and the Sacramento area would 'most likely' be excluded since we already pay 39.95/month w/o modem. Asked about the prepay 1 year plan and she said you have to pay 12 months up front (not 11) and get 1 month free. In any...
