    ITS BACK: 400GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 $24.99 Free Ship **PRICE DROP**

    Just a note from my personal experience: The 400GB drives (7200.8, .9 and .10) from Seagate were the most RMA'd I've ever had, so it's no surprise to me that they have quite a few refurbs to sell. Everyone's experience is different, of course.

    Ainol NOVO 7 Advanced Android 2.3.4 8GB 1.5GHz CPU HDMI 1080p Dual Camera+ Free Remot

    Looking for some help here... I just did a factory reset on my Novo 7 and everything is now in Chinese! Can someone tell me the icon/"keystrokes" to get it back to English? Thanks! Joe

    DDR3 Low Voltage RAM question

    I'm running a set of this myself. Unfortunately, my motherboard doesn't support less than 1.5v (even though it reads the XMP Profile as 1.25v). It runs fine, and I imagine it will allow for tighter timings (I just haven't gotten around the playing with it).

    2 PSU failures in 4 days

    Based on the above thoughts, I would definitely get myself a 600va (or better) battery backup/UPS, preferably with LCD display (so you can see what's going on) and AVR (automatic voltage regulation). They are lifesavers. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16842102069

    Rosewill Blackbone Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $35 shipped

    These are good cases. The 4 USB ports and eSATA at the top is very useful and makes sense for those that put their case on the floor.

    Dead: ZOTAC GF6100-E-E AM3/AM2+/AM2 ITX AMD Motherboard $15 (after $15 rebate)

    Combo deals for $10 off AMD CPUs. $49.99 for a retail 3.2Ghz Athlon II x2 isn't bad (as a combo), and $38.99 after rebate for 4GB Corsair DDR2-800 ain't either. :) Makes a great kitchen recipe workstation/PC for cheap.

    Why aren't people waiting for socket 2011?

    2011 is here to stay, my friend. 2012, perhaps? :) I think we're at a point where everything is already fast enough, and while PCI-E 3.0 will provide worthwhile in the future, high-end video cards are already CPU limited, so if you're in need of an upgrade, there's no reason not to do it now.

    Ceton INFINITV4 $282 + S/H

    Draws too much power and makes too much noise. True extenders draw 10 watts max. And I agree that not being able to simply link up another Windows PC as an extender is idiotic.

    Ceton INFINITV4 $282 + S/H

    corsair cx430 430W power supply $25 after rebate amazon

    This PSU is better than anything else you could possibly buy for $25. I've used many of them for Core i3 builds. Quiet fan, steady power and absolutely no coil whine.

    i3 530 for $80 shipped AR & BCB

    If you search for "TigerDirect" you will get 12% BCB, which makes the price $75.59 + s/h ($80). Selecting the store from the list "only" gets you 8% most of the time (although it is showing 12% right now).

    As an update, Patti (ZOTACg33kg1rl) is as good as her word and any outstanding issues have been taken care of for me and my family. I'm going to change the thread title since it doesn't seem to be correct any longer. However, only time will tell if Zotac has changed their ways.

    PSA: Zotac Rebates limited to 1 in your lifetime per person/household (read thread)

    Both Zotac and MSI process rebates in-house and issue company checks (at this time, anyway). My experience has been that companies that process in-house tend to be slower, mess things up more and are more difficult to deal with versus a rebate clearing company. Zotac has updated their MIR...

    PSA: Zotac Rebates limited to 1 in your lifetime per person/household (read thread)

    I PM'd ZOTACg33kg1rl , so we'll see what happens. As a separate issue, the rebate that WAS paid was 9 months old by the time I got a check, and I had to contact Zotac several times to get that one paid. My mother still hasn't been paid for the ONE submission she made back in June 2009.

    Good catch, but... You will get a backorder email. I'm not sure if they are pre-ordering these, or filling orders based on anticipated stock, but they're no longer actually in stock. Did anyone get a shipping confirmation?

    PSA: Zotac Rebates limited to 1 in your lifetime per person/household (read thread)

    Sure, but that's not the point of this thread (and I'm sure I'll get it with less effort). It's a warning to other buyers. It really shouldn't be necessary to jump through hoops to get a rebate, and, IMHO, being properly forewarned, I wouldn't want to do business with a company who thinks the...

    I just want to clear up any misconceptions here... 1) I did not speak with a stupid CSR. He was even somewhat apologetic that this is Zotac's policy regarding rebates (and yes, my rebate submissions were 4 months apart). I am intentionally getting these comments in writing so that I can...

    Does anyone have a Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H AMD 785G motherboard?

    Is the vDIMM (DDR2 voltage) adjustable DOWN on the GA-MA785G-UD3H? I picked up some 1.5v G.Skill DDR2-800 memory, but haven't had much success in finding motherboards that have anything below 1.8v / Default. Before I buy this board, I'd like to know. :)
