    Canon 50mm f/1.4 Refurbished 271.99 + free shipping

    Direct from Canon: http://shop.usa.canon.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10051_269493_-1 In my opinion, the refurbished canon lenses are pretty much as good as new, maybe even go through QA more thoroughly. The 50mm 1.4 is also a very very nice lens.

    ads

    On various pages, there are flash ads. However most users block flash, might I suggest a simple JS detection script on block-flash, and replace those DIV elements to static image ads instead of flash ads. More revenue for you and more eye-pleasing website for users (e.g., no gray box in the...

    front page menu dropdown

    The drop down menu on the front page (e.g., pc components, smartphones & tablets, etc..) looks good the 1st time, the 2nd time its just so eye distracting. Sometimes just because a javascript effect is there doesn't mean its better to use it.

    Planning to build a ZFS storage array. 1] I need 2 TB of initial capacity. 2] I want some redundancy. 3] What drives to get? WD? Seagate? Consumer vs. Enterprise drives? I also have an extra Intel 160 GB SSD that I can toss in there as well.

    Need Motherboard Recommendation

I am looking to upgrade to one that can do 4x PCIEx16, and run 4x GTX 480s (or 4xBigKeplers). Is there any suggestions? I prefer Intel branded motherboards as they work quite...

    Air Flights Tickets and Weights

    Individually Packaged Tylenol

    ZFS Storage.

    Hi All. Trying to build a personal ZFS storage pool, there needs to be some redundancy (e.g., at any one time if a drive dies it would need to be recoverable; but if two drives die I accept I lose data). I have two Intel SSDs 330 240 GB I can contribute to the pool. I presume I would need...

    Reasonable?

    Ex-California Landlord charged $120 carpet, $350 "cleaning" and $270 "repair for damages". Is this "reasonable". I actually left much earlier than my roommates, but they're not party type people and the apartment was in relatively good shape (perhaps not cleanliness?) when we left. Side...

    After Market CPU Cooler?

    I occasionally run relatively pretty "long" CPU tasks (<5mins). I have a Intel Core i7 3770 CPU. I do not OC. If I get a aftermarket CPU cooler, does that mean I can hit the turbo longer at the max turbo bin?

    Core i5 760 vs. Core i7 3770
