    Pictures from the Colts/Chiefs Game Saturday

    This was the closest I have ever sat at a game, let alone a playoff game. Sorry, some of the pics are pretty crappy (I was drinking, but did my best), thought I would share with eveyone. Adam V Cheerleaders Chiefs Sideline Dante Hall Defense 1 Defense 2 Explaining the Problem...

    May have to sell my xbox 360

    Looking to buy a house and if we are approved, the 360 might have to go. Kind of sucks, but made a deal with my fiance that as soon as we are married I can use some of the wedding money to buy another one so she doesnt bitch about it when the time comes for me to want another one. Sucks to...

    General computer problem

    I built this computer, but I am still a noob. I was playing UT2004 and whenever I went to play, the game minimized itself. Then when I went to hit CTRL ALT Delete, the task manager would not show up. Now this may be simple, like I said I am a noob. I was playing NFS-MW earlier and all was...

    Monster Cables Component Cable for xbox 360

    A friend of mine can possibly get me these for cheaper than the advertised $70. Has anyone used these for the 360? How much of a difference do they make. BTW I have a hi-def tv too.

    quick ebay question

    I sold my 6600gt on ebay and the buyer who bought it paid with paypal. His address is not confirmed, and looks like it ships to an address with a suite # in it. His feedback rating is only 8, and first transaction was done back in 2001 and his most recent was made back in Aug. 2005. Does this...

    xbox 360 controller for the computer

    Don't know if this is the right place for this or not, but does anyone know if it is any good? I have a crappy one right now and just got NFS-MW. I like the feel of that controller, but is there one that is better? Thanks

    just got a 7800gt

    I already have far cry. Can I sell it or trade it over in fs/t forums even though it came bundled with a video card? I would think that I can, but I just want to make sure before I put it up over in there. Thanks

    should I do this

    I was looking on newegg and saw the xfx 7800gt for 279 AR. I could sell my 6600gt and buy this bad boy. I keep hearing how awesome it is. What is the minimum PS you need to run this? Sorry I am somewhat of a noob to gaming and I just built my first pc. Thanks for your input.

    Is blockbuster a good place to buy used hardware

    I was thinking about buying one of these today. If I get a used one through blockbuster it is 200 instead of 250. Do they check their trade ins well? Or would I be better off going to gamestop? I thought it would be a good idea to go used because of all the dead pixel issues. Also does...

    Just had to call the cops on the neighbors

    Always has his sh!t up loud as hell. I just got home from work at 12:30 and have to be back in at 7 and it is now 1:30 and I can't sleep. It would be understandable if these were sh!tty apartments or I was on a college campus. My college days are over and I shouldn't have to deal with this...

    question about a22m laptop ram

    I always thought that if the pc says it takes pc100 then pc133 clocks down or whatever to pc100, right? I need new ram for this lappy, but dont want to buy the wrong stuff, and pc100 (and 133 for that matter) are way expensive.

    question about rma

    So my Zen micro quit working recently so I am having it RMA'd. The email I got was worded funny so my question is, do they send a prepaid label to ship it back, or do I pay it? Anyone ever dealt with this?

    Just acquired a thinkpad a22m

    The thinkpad is a decent lappy for what I would use it for. 1ghz, 256mb, 30gb hd, etc. My question is....how hard is it to fix/replace a laptop screen? It is a 14.1 XGA screen. The go on ebay for 200 shipped or so. Think it is worth it to fix it? Also, what is the lcd inverter? The screen, if...

    Finally got my 2005fpw today

    This thing looks awesome. I need to run the normal tests on it, but just hooking it up I was impressed. Now I know what all the talk was about.

    I hate having things delivered

    I am waiting on my dell 2005fpw to be delivered via ups. I work second shift, so I don't leave until 3:30. Lo and behold ups delivers at my apartment complex at 6 or so. Now I know that if I worked a regular day, ups would deliver in the morning, just the way it always seems to go. I even...

    Question about fedex

    Actually, does Dell ship fedex? I thought they did. Anyway, is there a way to call/email whatever to fedex and not have them deliver the package, but rather go and pick it up yourself. They always seem to come after I go to work at 4 o clockish. Thought this would be a better idea, but I...

    computer hangs on standby

    New to this stuff. Could that be the problem? I've have never upgraded any bios before and have heard that it can seriously mess some things up if it is done incorrectly. Worth a shot?

    Apartment parking question

    Yea the units are really nice, but thats about it. We have a horrible parking situation here, and management does nothing about it. I finally b!tched and complained enough that they gave me half off of a carport. Fine. It's been about 2 weeks since I've had it and I have had four different...

    Fry's rebate question

    I bought some memory from Fry's the other day, and it has a 30 dollar rebate on it. I also happened to buy a whole systems worth of components on the same receipt. On this particular rebate (Fry's rebate, not manufacturer), it asks for the original receipt. Does that sound right? I called...

    Just bought the X300se 256 today from fry's

    So I decided to build a computer (my first one btw), and I needed a pci express video card. I am not a huge gamer but want something decent. The card was 89 bucks AR, but at CC they have the x700 pro for 179AR and the 6600 for 179. So my question is, should I cough up the extra 100 for the...

    Thinking about moving from Indy to California....

    It will probably be about double what I am making now. I know the cost of living in that area is crazy, but are there other areas within a decent commute to Newport Beach that aren't as pricey as O.C? I've looked on rent.com and apartments seem to be in the 1500-2000 area, which I could afford...
