    SMOKING: NEC Closeout $145 refurbished EA274wmi

    When I tried to buy two, it said quantity not available, but it let me place 2 orders for one display each, so I'll bet they're oversold and cancellation emails will be sent out on Monday...

    Windows 7 activation question

    I used the same ISO to do a Windows 7 boot camp install on my parents' iMac using an unused OEM key from my own hackintoshed rig which I run Mountain Lion on. It made me go through an automated phone system to activate instead of doing it online, but I didn't end up talking to a human being on...

    Which is preferred: WD Caviar Black or Seagate Barracuda 7200.11?

    Thanks for all the input. Performance-wise, the data out there seems to favor the Caviar Black also, but I wanted to get some more expert opinion than my own. Looks like it's pretty much no contest!

    Which is preferred: WD Caviar Black or Seagate Barracuda 7200.11?

    I've got a few unused 1TB hard drives sitting around and plan to sell off some of the surplus. My question is, I've got about equal numbers of Western Digital Caviar Blacks (WD1001FALS) and Seagate Barracuda 7200.11s (ST31000340AS). They have all worked great for over a year before I retired...

    Panasonic 3D Glasses - 2 pair for $129.99 (Costco)

    None of what you say changes the fact that if you wear these glasses to your local grocery store, you will be able to see the produce in glorious 3D! Whether said produce also appears in 3D without said glasses is irrelevant. These guys really need to hire me to do their marketing. Why, look...

    Best IPOD accessory ever! =)

    omg I saw a photo of this in some magazine and thought they had invented it as a joke! Just wait... iPod Separation Anxiety is going to become a real diagnosis in the DSM-IV and next thing you know, some lawyer will use it as a defense for homicide.

    Best Buy Gift Card Deal

    This is because of a BestBuy promotion - $15 off $199 - so it's not specific to the $200 card. You could do a $100 gift card and $100 of merchandise and still get the $15 automatically deducted. It's not supposed to work on gift cards though. Or iPods, digital cameras, "gaming hardware"...

    HELP! Newbie killed his computer!

    I appreciate the info, daveybrat... I did dink around with it a little bit and got up to 1.54ghz but brought it back down to stock since you mentioned the possibility of corrupting my data. I'm inheriting a rig with a 2500+ chip that has been running at 2.3ghz so I wanted to become a little...

    HELP! Newbie killed his computer!

    OK, I tried clearing the CMOS a second time and that seemed to fix the problem. Man, that's enough to turn a guy off from experimenting forever. What did I do wrong?

    HELP! Newbie killed his computer!

    So... I have a rig with a shuttle ak32 and an Athlon XP 1600+ (AROIA) I've been doing a lot of reading about overclocking and was experimenting just a little. All I did was go into the BIOS and increase the clock multiplier from 10.5 (default) to 11.0 and rebooted. Everything worked fine...

    Keyboards For Just a $1 at Office Max

    I remember when Best Buy was clearing out a bunch of Memorex keyboards for like 10c a piece. A guy I know went around and bought about 50 of them and then donated the to Goodwill and took like a $1000 deduction from his taxes for $5 spent. Clever, but is that legal???

    HOT! Get your face on a stamp!

    I wonder if the ones that were actually printed of Monica Lewinsky's dress and the Unabomber will be worth anything in the future. If they weren't immediately destroyed, that is.
