    Dell Home - Planar PX171M 16Ms refresh LCD $512 Exp 2/13

    I picked one of these up last week for $519 and set it up last night. Played some UT2003 and Age of Mythology with no ghosting whatsoever. Also watched a concert on DVD with equally impressive picture quality. BTW, I'm using the DVI port with an ATI 9500 Pro. Good stuff! -z

    Hot D-Link 22MB Wireless deal @ Buy.com - D-Link DI-614+ Router AND DWL-650+ PC Card Combo for $149.95 AR

    This is a good deal but buying the items seperately will save you an additional $2.79. DI-614+ for $118.95 DWL-650+ for $68.21 Seems a bit strange that the bundle price is higher. :confused: I took advantage of this deal already and got my wireless network up and running last night. :D -z

    SFF Computing... would you switch?

    I've been following the threads over at ViaHardware.com and plan to jump all over the SS51 as soon as it's available. Who needs a full-size ATX motherboard with everything built in when you can have a SFF masterpiece? The only expansion slots I use in my Asus P4S533-based system are 1 AGP and...

    1.6a Cooling Delimma - AVC Sunflower, Intel Stock, or Arkua 8568

    I'm using the Arkua 8568 w/ a 1.6a @ 2.32 GHz. Full load temps fell from ~52C to ~42C running Prime95. I also thinned out the layer of ASII on the heatspreader so that probably accounts for some of the difference. Temps were read using AsusProbe 2.17.00 on a P4S533. -z p.s. I bought the...

    Can you recommend sunblock that isn't sticky, slimey, or uncomfortable?

    Coppertone Gel works well for me. Rubs in quickly with no mess. Smells a bit like bug spray at first but that goes away. -z

    Asus P4S533 boot problem

    Thanks for the tip, bwass24. I will dig around in the BIOS. I'm certain that the chassis intrusion header is capped with a jumper and not one of the connectors from the front of the case. Does anyone know where the BIOS option is?

    Asus P4S533 boot problem

    At the first reboot during a fresh WinXP install I realized I had an incorrect jumper setting on the P4S533 since I could hear the helpful little voice through the case speaker. I powered down the system during this reboot to switch the jumper. Upon powering up again I was greeted with the...

    need an MP3 with a nature or "go to sleep" sound that I can loop in WinAmp..

    Try Bluemars.org. Not really nature sounds but nice "space-y" ambient streams. -z
