    Moving my 42" Plasma crossed country

    I've read the same thing about Plasmas not needing to be upright. It seems just to be a generic warning because laying down the risk of breaking the glass is much greater. Oh and the wife vetoed the new TV idea. That was my first suggestion.

    PC restarts randomly

    Like Greenbean said, Look at the power. I had a very similar issue years ago, before I knew too much about computers. It drove me so crazy I eventually paid a computer repair shop to test each part. Everything tested fine, got it home, Bam rebooted. Mad as a hornet I went back to the repair...

    Moving my 42" Plasma crossed country

    Yeah I know I had to keep it upright. Just seems crazy to me to spend $100 on a cardbourd box. Guess I should have kept the original, just takes up so much space!

    Moving my 42" Plasma crossed country

    So I'm moving from the East Coast to back to the Midwest. I'm doing the move myself. Planning on getting a couple of PODS and having them transported for me. My question is what the heck do I do with my Plasma TV? I've seen Uhaul sells a TV box for $85. Is that my best bet? Or would I be...

    What games should I get out of these lists?

    Got a PS3 myself. Loved Fallout 3 on it. I'm about 60 hours into it, and it's frozen once. Resistance 2: Lots of fun. Different games, but IMO Fallout3 > Resistance 2.

    What's the best DVD collection catalogue software?

    Well my father in law has about 2500 DVDs. He can't remember every movie in his collection. So he keeps a database to help him avoid duplicates, and sometimes just to decide what to watch.
