    [DEAD] Vizio VSB200 High Definition Sound Bar Refurbished: $59.41 AC shipped

    The remote that came with mine is very difficult to make work -- have to press the flat contacts with fingernails to get it to respond, and haven't found a reliable way to point it that will work. Replaced the battery to make sure it wasn't that, and still had problems with it. Just sprung...

    Can I connect a gigabit switch to my router and still use the internet?

    Thanks for these answers -- I was just hopping onto this forum to ask this same question! Except I made one 50' ethernet pull through my walls from my router to my home office area and would like to locate a switch in the office for multiple devices to connect through the router. Sounds like...

    Philips Home/Office 12 Outlet Surge Protector -$350,000 Equipment Warranty

    I'm afraid I don't recall the brand. And the total amount wasn't huge as I only replaced the damaged components -- motherboard, sound card, and a couple other smaller items. Might have only been $400 total? Worked for me.

    Philips Home/Office 12 Outlet Surge Protector -$350,000 Equipment Warranty

    Our house got hit by lightning about 5 yrs ago and I had my computer connected to a 10y/o surge protector. Fried a number of components. I called on the warranty, and they had me send the unit in for testing with a diagram of how and what was connected to the thing at the time of damage...

    System hiccups... annoying

    CPU is E6300, HDs are: WD 1gb (WD10 01FALS-00JB7B); Seagate 1gb (ST332062); WD 320gb (WDC EACS-00D6B1) WD 1gb is C: drive and was recently upgraded from a smaller drive (ghosted to new drive). The problems may have begun about that time. Video is GS7600 something -- older card, did clean...

    System hiccups... annoying

    ASUS P5N-SLI board with Core2 CPU, 4gb RAM, 32-bit Vista Business, three SATA drives, mouse and keyboard on USB. Problem is that the mouse (and entire system) seems to hiccup now and then -- for half a second or up to two seconds, particularly when drive activity is especially high. Mouse...

    Outlook 2007 slower than 2003?

    2007 seems to be better multi-threaded while checking email -- when downloading messages, 2003 is very sluggish about updating the preview pane. 2007 does seem to manage this much better (granted, I have CloudMark SpamNet loaded, so that may be affecting things). Otherwise, speed boost in...

    How do you dim a CCFL? Want to brighten and dim a set of CCFL lights as needed.....

    That's my problem with this whole push (even mandate) to CFL -- most of the rooms in our house have dimmers on them, and I'm rather loathe to switch all those switches out and lose dimmability... and get ugly blue light to boot.

    Mouse in Vista loses wheel after sleep/wake up

    Anyone else have this problem? Mouse wheel doesn't work after sleep/wake-up in Vista. It's an Evoluent mouse but seems to be a Vista problem (Evoluent doesn't have a Vista driver yet, so I'm using default mouse driver support in Vista). Unplug mouse and re-plug, wheel functionality is back...

    ASUS P5B WIFI-AP

    That's what I was wondering -- is the AP done in hardware (built-in router) or software (ICS)? OK -- what if I DO enable ICS? Will the Linksys router work as a repeater in this scenario?

    Desktop C2D motherboards supporting more than 8GB?

    Cheaper solution: Build several separate machines and use KVM switch or VNC server to control them. You could build yourself 3 or 4 cheap machines, each with 2 GB RAM for lots cheaper than outfitting a single quad-core machine with 8GB+ RAM. Just a thought... probably not what you're...

    a taste of california 12 wines sampler of $5.79/bottle, free shipping

    We have tried two of the six varieties in the 12-pack. I'm not a wine expert, but the Shiraz tastes too fruity and young. The sauv blanc was too sweet for my taste -- almost syruppy. I don't have a favorable impression so far, but at least they were not expensive... (I suppose you get what...

    External drives NO power brick?

    I've spent a good amount of time researching external drives, but there's no easy way to search for drives that are powered through the USB port -- no power brick. It doesn't seem to be a feature that is touted all that much, for some reason. Does anyone have a favorite external drive (or...
