    Steam: Baldur's Gate-EE $10, Guns of Icarus Online $5

    Don't buy BGEE via any method but beamdog direct right now as you will join me in waiting 2-3 weeks for Atari to pass the patch along to you(if they even keep doing it with their problems) and there have been reports of mods not being happy with how the Atari modified the directory structure of...

    OCZ 512GB Vertex 4 SSD - $299 + FS

    On Amazon http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Industrys-.../dp/B008MIJOTK <standard OCZ reliability complaint> The Warrenty is 5 years and many people say you'll need it as they have had bad results with OCZ SSDs. I've never had a problem but I'm just as anecdotal as they are and a smaller sample...

    256GB Crucial M4 $199.99 FS

    Its not the speed but the fact that my laptop only has one 2.5 inch bay.

    256GB Crucial M4 $199.99 FS

    If we got this kind of $/GB for the 512GB drives I'd say "screw it" to my upgrade cycle plans.

    WinMo, or Android - which one is better?

    Well, I can only offer anecdotal evidence from my phone which can run both WM6.5, Android 4.0, and WP7.5 and from my experience on the HTC HD2. I currently run WM6.5 due to it having the best battery life and the most stable bluetooth tether. WM 6.5 (Best battery life) >> Android >> WP7...

    [DEAD]REVISED Newegg Linksys refurb E3000-RM $45.99 free shipping

    The problem is that a number of models were when you turn of WPS the hack still works as the router still responds to requests. The only fix in that case is to flash over to Tomato or DD-WRT.

    Patriot Xporter XT Boost USB 2.0 32GB Flash Drive. Model PEF32GUSB: $22.99 AR FS

    They are pretty fast. My well used one will still put up ~16MB/s write and ~25MB/s read speeds on AS SSD. These are sequential numbers. The random numbers aren't as nice but that might be due to the AMD C-60 laptot I'm performing these tests from as the random results on the Intel 320 SSD in it...

    Nikon P7000 $250 @ Amazon

    Sure is. At $250 I'd take a risk on my wife not liking it but the extra $30 bumps it out of my take a chance range. The 7100 fixes the tendency for the 7000 model for having shutter problems and isn't that much more the the new price.

    Next Casio Military Spec Phone

    This is their website. I've got one for my HD2 and from that one and the ones I've seen other people using they are the current best manufacture of ruggidized cases for smartphones right now. They typically make three levels of protection for each phone. The lowest isn't much better then...

    EVE!

    Actually, with the exception of Rockets every time they "rebalance" a weapon system they have over done it and made it the new flavour of the month.

    4.7" HTC WP7 hand's on

    Oooo, this is starting to get back to the 5" size I loved in the HTC Advantage(nee Athena) that I owned and enjoyed just a few years ago. I do hope they haven't skimped on the battery again. I've been saddened by the weak 12-1800 mAH batteries in most of the recent large screen phones. Bring...

    $10 Dragon Naturally Speaking version 10 YMMV

    Any of you have a older(late 60s, early 70s) relative who uses this? I'm thinking about it for my mother in-law but she still has to use a step by step print out to send email so anything complex won't help. Is this easy to use for someone of that skill level?

    Online games that (officially or unofficially) support 56k

    EVE works well with just a dialup connection if you are doing solo PVP or playing against the computer. The only barrier to group PVP with a dial-up connection is your inability to use any of the voice services like Vent, Mumble, or TS3 that all the player groups(corporations) use to...

    Which to upgrade? CPU or GPU?

    All old parts are used to upgrade relatives systems so I won't be selling them on. I'm only upgrading one or the other due to recently changed marital status and our negotiated limits on spending(I can upgrade one half of the system per year. Budget for that half set by negotiations around...

    Which to upgrade? CPU or GPU?

    The only game I'm currently feeling held back in is EVE Online when I run 2 or 3 clients at ones on the two separate windows. Because I have to run in boarderless window mode to do this I can't take advantage of CF. In larger fleet battles(~700 players on screen) I have performance issues with...

    Which to upgrade? CPU or GPU?

    I'm trying to choose which one will be upgraded this cycle. The CPU/Etc or the video card. The next upgrade will be next year of which ever one I don't upgrade this time. I used to just replace the entire rig but I'm on a budget now that I'm married so one or the other. My current rig is a...

    Free Wendy's Frosty for a year? Purchase required

    These are available in the Chicago land region also. I picked one up yesterday(Wendys on Ogden in Westmont) when I went in to try the new fries(skin still on and sea salt). $1 today gets you a free Jr frosty with any purchase for the rest of the year. This works out great for my guilty...

    I'm looking for a s939 motherboard w/ AGP support.

    I'd say go with the AsRock AGP/PCIe MB as this way when you want to upgrade your VC when you get your next new monitor or some game comes out that kicks your current card to the drainage ditch you can upgrade to a PCIe without haveing to replace anything else. Then when you want to upgrade your...

    They might be a Recruiter for one of the branches. Their SO maybe from IL which would be why they would be recruiting outside of a area they are from.

    Board losing time - remedies?

    The only thing I can ask is are your BIOS settings staying set? I've seen a board loose time before when the CMOS battery was about to die but it was on a UPS that cut the power to it when turned off so only the CMOS battery was keeping the time. If you computer is pluged in through a normal...

    DFI RD600

    What case do you have? I'm planing on useing a Lian-Li V2000 wich has some space above the MB mount. This way I'll be able to fit my Tuniq Tower in no mater what. Be careful about your case choice and it should all be fine.

    How do you add a fan on the side panel of the case?

    Also, if you use a Hole saw get a 4 5/8" one which is approximately 116mm. You don't want a 120mm one as if you look closely and measure you fan you'll find the actual diameter of the inner circle is 116mm for most fans. You can get away with the 4.5"(114mm) if you don't want to special order...

    Can someone recomend me a case?

    I've taken my Antec Aria as a carry on before. South West, Delta, American, and Alaskian Airlines. I had a GearGrips carrier for some and for others I used a large backpack. The only part of my computer I normaly have to check is my monitor.

    DFI LANPARTY UT ICFX3200 T2R/G LGA775

    Preorder but the review guy here on AT says they have one and will be doing a review of it for the US release. XS forums also has one and released some pics of it a few months ago along with some teasers. It looks to be great in every way but availability. Intel scared all the other MB makers...

    ATI RD600...more than just Dual 16x PCI-E?

    The number of electrical PCIe lanes is determined by the total number supported by the chipset and how the MB manufacture decides to allocate them. There are x16, x16 electrical lane MB on the AMD side of the house but for Intel the best hope are the upcoming Bad Axe2 and Nvidia 680i. There are...

    AM2 Crossfire?

    Well, speculation won't help us at this point and nothing new has come out lately to give us more to talk about. I suppose we could go back to discussing the relative merits of Canadian Social Security programs. ;)

    BenQ FP241W

    Actually the 241W uses the AU Optronics P-MVA (M240UW01 V0) at least according to http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/benq_fp241w.htm and the widescreengaming forum. The monitor is not glossy according to all current reports. So far two people over at the HardOCP forums have confirmed it is in...

    NEW ANTEC CASE

    I agree. I'd end up replacing the Fans anyway but the side window is a no-go for me. I like solid non perforated side panels so I can use my hole saw and put in a intake directly above my VPU.
