    basically flaming hot. 500 watt enhance power supply $12.89 + shipping DEAD

    They load these things onto a skid that is shipped out via distribution centers FYI. That is why after a week with no updates they are finally shipping my package according to their customer service. I know it's cheep, but this is a pretty poor shipping method in my mind.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819103471 Its 200 at newegg. These things only perform a little over the Q6600. My pick is still the Q6600 for clockability.

    [dead] TF2 - $9.99

    Comparing TF2 on 360 to the PC is like apples and oranges. The PC version is far superior. Between 32 man servers and user content it is the only way to play.

    E2160 Core2 Duo Barebones for 137.92 shipped

    800mhz is the memory. The chip is set to a 9x multiplier by default. Make sure you go into the power booster section of the bios it is on the right hand pane. If you have not overclocked a computer before I would recommend doing a little reading. I did upgrade on 4 of the machines I...

    E2160 Core2 Duo Barebones for 137.92 shipped

    Thats odd the motherboard box that came with mine had multiple sata power adapters along with any extra screws. If you are ready to clock it you should get to 3.0ghz no prob. Go to the performance booster zone in the bios. and set your FSB to 333Mhz and adjust the memory timings to 5 5 5...

    XBOX 360 Deal

    RROD does suck, but I would prefer an old 360. Refurbs do get a burn in test at refurb centers. Some are more honest than others. Keep in mind the new arcades have lite-on drives and you cannot flash the DVD firmware if you ever plan on modding the console. With the old units they have...

    E2160 Core2 Duo Barebones for 137.92 shipped

    1.8GHZ for 1080p is pushing it. When you get into high bitrates it will and did get choppy on my machine without an overclock. I know overclocking is not a sure thing, but I am 4 for 4 on these things at 3.0 ghz. To control XBMC I just use the laptop in my living room and synergy. I had to set...
