I just picked up a 28 port Netgear S3300 on amazon and it's a great piece of kit. 2 10GBase-T copper ports and 2 SPF+ 10G ports for $500 delivered. Fan not silent compared to my old cisco 10/100 switch but not crazy loud compared to the initial firmware on some of the origital Netgear 10G ones.

got mine in. Seems good - older generation ELO monitor. Looking for a VESA stand now - seem to be easy to grab one for ~$50. The monitor runs surprisingly HOT btw.

Picked one up yesterday - its $299 minus 20% from a friends and family coupon posted in the other soyo 20 inch monitor thread. $260 out the door. Its pretty sweet - only one stuck pixel.

Thanks! 2 questions: 1) The coax is not on the AMP splitter but would work fine there? 2) I won't have 1000BT because it is Cat5 and not Cat5E? What will happen if I use gigabit NIC's and a gigabit switch/router (all of which I already have)? Does it downgrade the speed based on the...

Ok, I just bought my first house. Yea! Its from 1998 and in the master bedroom closet it appears there is a home run box where the whole house is wired to. So here is the deal - it has 2 boxes in there (see pic) http://home.roadrunner.com/~th...hell/Pics/Home_Run.jpg Are these switches...

Got mine in last week - everything looked great

I've had a champion adidas gi for 5 years or so now - it is sweet (but heavy). I'm going to probably pick up two more, I think I had gotten mine for $150 and it was a good deal...

So I'm over at my mom's house and trying to setup her wireless network and its is being quite a pain the the butt. I am trying to get wireless internet on her Viao with WirelessG using a DLink router connected to her sweeeeeet fiber optic setup. Anyway, the Viao is not getting the IP address...

American is the gold standard for loyalty programs.

Told you so. Where are the people who were calling me a such a pessimist in the other thread now? You were right except for your prognostications that this would only work on their motherboards. I wonder whats up that keeps it from working in a RAID setup.

What registration information that shows up on Whois gets verified, if any? Can Western Union tell where the wire was picked up? Can we learn anything from these headers: Return-Path: <support@mail-squaretrade.com> Received: from web210.biz.mail.re2.yahoo.com ([192.168.1.4])...

Right, but all the numbers in Mansfield are also 817's. I had a 972 last year for reference... Is there any info out of this that we know is good? How much of the site registration gets verified, if any? What about the Western Union address?

Anybody think of anything else?

I checking into the fraud site's registration address. It looks like the street does not exist in WI, but it DOES exist in Mansfield Texas, which happens to have an 817 area code (like the registration number). As a matter of fact, a Trammel is registered just a few streets down. Hmmm...

I've filed complaints with Hotmail, Yahoo (website host), eBay, Squaretrade, Western Union, and the FBI. Any other tips? Thomas
