What are good places to buy used CRTs. I don't want to deal with eBay at all.
I remember this one place called "Azek Tek", or something like that, that sold them and that everybody raved about. I had a bookmark for them but that got lost with my last reinstall.
My buddy was a lucky man this weekend and snagged a Xbox 360. He has never had high speed internet access before ( CRAZY !!! ) and he is using this as an excuse to take the plunge.

I have been looking around and I can't seem to find a non-SLI mother board with X2 support that also has firewire built in.
