    Frequent Flyer... any good deals??

    Hi all, my wife is German and I'm from California. We have spent the past 10 years flying about twice a year to/ from Europe. I have looked at some of the credit card programs (United for example). They want $60 a year, an atrocious interest rate (~18% variable), and charge up the @ss for...

    3000+ OC w/ Corsair ValueRam

    If my math is correct, a 265MHz FSB would give me a RAM speed of 220 (any thoughts on the feasbility of this with Corsair ValueRam?) and a CPU of around 2.4 GHz... I will consider this my goal to shoot for. Last question: to achieve this, might I have to raise voltage to CPU and RAM, and if so...

    3000+ OC w/ Corsair ValueRam

    ok thx... should this be easily accomplished, given what we know, of a 3000+ w/ stock cooling? or does it very much depend on my particular chip?

    Just asking for a bit of advice here on a good router from a company that offers good support on things like opening ports, playing online, getting past the firewall, etc. I can build a computer, but with network stuff I am totally clueless and am having nothing but problems with the piece of...

    Wintergreen 17" LCD for $200 after rebate

    we used to do that in summer camp when i was a counselor- we'd take kids out in the forest at night, have 'em line up facing each other, put a (spearmint?) lifesaver in their mouths, and then everyone bite at the same time- their mouths emitted green sparks... pretty cool

    well, here it is... I just got it (took 3 days between order and arrival) and am on it now... and it is BOOTIE-FULL! after updating the driver, it's up and going, no dead pixels and all is good. A question: Should I keep game settings also at 1600 X 1200 and, if so, what about performance...

    Dell Home: 2001FP 20.1" LCD with 16ms response for $609.20 shipped!

    I think on Fatwallets a guy was in the same situation and got a refund for the difference. If I were you, I'd just call back 'til you get a customer service rep who is willing to help. Of course, if you have the spare room on your credit card, you could just order another and, on the day the...

    Dell Home: 2001FP 20.1" LCD with 16ms response for $609.20 shipped!

    I can't believe it- I got one! I started by trying to replace a 19" Syncmaster CRT, decided on a cheap 17" lcd w/ a low response time, and now just spent $604 on this thing.... but what a deal! I am utterly conflicted in my feelings towards you all- I love and hate this site... lol

    Samsung 710VT 17" LCD- $350 w/o Rebate

    nothing I can change about your skepticism and indeed it's understandable. All I can say is I met the guy and he gets 'em from a supplier in California, and he seemed like a good guy who somehow has his hands on a great deal. Like I said, I got a killer deal and thought of you all, so a...

    Samsung 710VT 17" LCD- $350 w/o Rebate

    oh, sorry. the reason I said to contact me was because he told me it was a special deal he would offer to people in this forum (because I mentioned that I knew of people looking for a kick-ass deal on quality LCDs). I am glad at least that you agree it's a hot deal (I guess us nooBs are...

    Samsung 710VT...

    thanks- I ended up doing it. He did end up charging me for tax (it's a local sale, I guess), but not for shipping so I got it for around $325- Not bad, I think! :)

    Samsung 710VT...

    Hi all, I have read a lot of praise for the 710T but it's out of my price range. Apparently Samsung is putting a new model out that has almost the exact same specs, but without DVI and with a contrast ratio of 500:1. I can get it from a local dealer for $300 (no tax, no shipping) and am...
