    Seasonic X750---$99.99 w.FS--Newegg

    Nice! Bought another one - for 100 bucks and no rebate, there is no better PS in that range

    Domino's New Pan Pizza

    Much improved for chain pizza. Not in the same league as Apizza Scholls, Dove Vive, or Ken's as Portland has become very nice for NW pizza. Still, I'd give a passing grade - like a C+, not bad but by no means fantastic.

    Domino's New Pan Pizza

    Took the bait and ordered.... waiting for the pizza. Haven't eaten their pizza in years this should be interesting.

    Capital One (or maybe just a general CC question)

    Cap 1 website is down for me as also. My card worked yesterday but I don't carry any balance month to month. I want to say I paid about 10 days ago; it worked fine then. Call them if you are concerned. The website is FUBARed currently for whatever reason.

    *DEAD* Dell Inspiron 11z 11.6" Core i3 laptop: $299.99 FS + tax

    Good find. I needed a small basic laptop as a portable facebook/word/web-surfing machine for a gift. Hard to go wrong for $325 shipped (after tax)

    notebook gaming with GMA5700MHD/hd2000/hd3000 graphics. Tell us your experience

    Happy: Pretty sure you are wrong about that. I don't believe any i3 380 laptops have HD2000 graphics as it isn't Sandy Bridge. Your resolution is highly suspect as well (1280 x 600). Same with the girlfriend - I'm not buying that without proof either :) Not to say that basic laptops...

    Repubs win 2 house seats, Dems lose Weiner

    Alright some of you are getting stuck in the weeds... When is the last time the GOP lost a district that was 3:1 registration in their favor. umm, frickin' never. Even Ted Stevens in AK lost by a sliver after being found guilty of a FELONY (which was later ruled BS - shock). Keep...

    Using a 32" 720p Samsung HDTV as a monitor.

    Can you go a little higher than $110? You can get something much larger for a bit more. For example Newegg has an Acer 23.6" 1080P for $140, free shipping. I don't have one, but I seen one and I thought it was fine, especially for the price. This item #: N82E16824009305 I'd rather have...

    hp p6200 laptop $299 300gig/3gig at office depot

    It's a decent laptop. I've recently purchased a P6200 (think a mildly crippled Arrandale i3) Lenovo and a B940 (think a mildly crippled Sandy Bridge i3) Asus laptop and they are surprisingly capable. Way better than a C2D - without a doubt. Obviously being packaged with a 5400 rpm 320GB...

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    Yah, maybe it's not a legit website, but on the UPC (that checks out) that's weak sauce. Looks good to me on google. I'm not worried; I'm sure Amex would have no problem doing a chargeback on a fraud situation. You could be right but that's super flimsy on what you presented.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution $34

    Thanks, looks good. I wanted to try it and that's a good price. The $34 price worked, we'll see how the credit works out.

    SSD (OCZ Vertex 2) is suddenly not being detected. Boot Device Failure..can't load OS

    OCZ got my defective drive Monday and sent out a replacement today via FedEx. No grief on the RMA and they did turn it around quickly. We'll see how the replacement drive works out.

    SSD (OCZ Vertex 2) is suddenly not being detected. Boot Device Failure..can't load OS

    No, I didn't try another PC. I did try both (actually all three types) of SATA ports, the Intel SATA II, SATA III (both the Intel and the Marvell) ports. The other drive in the system, a Samsung F3 has had no problems. This is with the replacement motherboard (the B3 rev). It occurred...

    SSD (OCZ Vertex 2) is suddenly not being detected. Boot Device Failure..can't load OS

    I had the *exact* same thing happen to the build I did for my dad (2500k Sandy Bridge, Asus P8P67 Pro though on the mobo). It was about 8 weeks as well. It was a Vertex 2, 180 gig and the same damn thing happened as you described. Did a RMA with OCZ for it, just sent the drive in end of...

    Is it too much to ask for a shipping label for P67 Recall/RMA?

    Yup, me too. I contacted Asus directly and they took care of me. They shipped the mobo first, but I needed to give CC information (if case I didn't send them the defective board). They provided a return shipping label. Swapped out the mobo and shipped it back to Asus. I was happy...

    Can anyone suggest a decent 1.8" SSD?

    The 1.8" versions can be a bit more than the 2.5" flavor, but there are Sandforce drives (e.g. Vertex 2), Intel as Zap mentioned as well as the Crucial Real SSD ones. All of those are decent. Look around and you'll find them; they aren't as numerous as the 2.5" varieties but they are out there.

    80+ proof liquor doesnt freeze in the freezer

    Right, because it's not 100% water; it's EtOH and water. Since it's not pure water why would it freeze like 100% water (like salt water or other water/alcohol/glycol mixtures)? I think 80 proof liquor (40%) freezes around ~-20F (that would be about, not exactly) way colder than a (normal)...

    Well this is disappointing. I was thinking the NDA would lift at midnight EST. Apparently not. Since it's almost 1:00 EST; it probably going to be sometime tomorrow I'm guessing. Keep an eye out for us Happy!

    Smokin hot 6850 $140.95 shipped! NO REBATE.

    Alright - I convinced my bro to bite, to X-fire with his existing 6870... We purchased tonight. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. It's a hot deal but not so hot, it stinks. For comparison the cheapest 6850 on Newegg is $170, $155 AR. I think this will be legit. I'll post...

    Performance sweet spot VS Price on i5

    How much $$ are you looking to spend? To just surf the net, use MS Office and view pixs, really an i3 is fine. Spend the cash on a better monitor and a SSD. Newegg has a shellshocker now with an i3-540 and an ASUS P7H55-M Pro for dirt cheap $185, with integrated graphic included. You...

    Sandy Bridge CPU Release

    Purchased a i5 2500k and a ASUS P8P67 Pro mobo this afternoon at Fry's - Wilsonville. I had the rest of the parts already purchased (a system for my dad). Just finished putting it together and installing windows about an hour ago. So far, it looks really sweet. The build was pretty easy...

    The 6970 runs at 880 core, 1536sp's, 250watt TDP, launch date is the 14th in US

    I'm feeling ok about my 5870 purchase 11 months ago, as well as the 6950 that we just purchased for my dad (eyefinity setup - great choice for that IMO). I also think the GTX570 is a great card and was that was a really fine launch by nvidia. And if you are so inclined a great deal on a 5870...

    spinpoint f3 1tb disk $51 shipped from ewiz

    4GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 1600 $50 newegg

    Sweet deal, got 3 sets to split between two builds. I've bought a couple of sets in the past and while it doesn't lite the world on fire, it's good solid stuff. I paid over twice that ($109 I think) earlier this year.

    Got Robbed In Atlantic City - Treated Like Crap From Casino & Police

    In Las Vegas the cops would have gotten the perps in 20 minutes. In Atlantic City - forget it the cops are too busy boinking hookers and eating donuts. I got robbed (at gunpoint) and assaulted in AC in the very late 90's and the cops couldn't even be bothered to take a proper statement...

    Patron = overrated crap?

    Patron is good stuff but it is overpriced; but make no mistake there is nothing wrong with Patron. Patron is not made in Vegas; it's made in Jalisco MX - the USA importer is incorporated in NV. Most 100% agave tequilas are fine. Sauza Hornitos is almost as good at half the price. Cazadores is...

    5770 or 5850 @ 1650x1050

    A 5770 works fine for SC2. I don't know about with super heavy crowding and it is a beta, but paired with an i5 750 it's fine. I had a very similar decision recently in building my wife's rig for light gaming use. I ended up going with a 5770 and using the money elsewhere for better...
