    13inch laptop w/backlit keyboard?

    Viewguard hmm... That looks interesting. Not too expensive either. I could definatly give that a go. I didn't even look into any of the HP laptops actually. I had a really bad experience with an HP laptop and HP's customer service that totally turned me away from ever buying another one...

    13inch laptop w/backlit keyboard?

    I currently have a lenovo y410 and I like it, but it's just a little too large for all the moving around I do carting it to and from school and around the house. Besides the mobility issue, I hate the glossy screen. I'd like to find a 13 inch laptop that has a backlit keyboard (where the...

    HOT!? ICEMAT Siberia Professional Gaming Headset $20 after rebate!

    Ordered mine on the 20th, they are still "in progress" and buy.com doesn't even have the order number on file. When I sent them an email about it, they said the item was out of stock with no known restocking date. Of course, they already charged my card for the item, and told me just to wait...

    *Olevia 23" HD-Ready LCD TV, only $369 & FREE SHIP!*

    I've had too many problems in the past with TD to even THINK about clicking on that link. The price is right (i'm sure it's a referb but I didn't bother looking), but the company is FAR from one I want to give any of my money to ever again

    Minimum "acceptable" system requirements for WoW?

    My laptop has a 1.6Ghz AMD64 processor, the 200m with 128mb on it, and 512MB of ram. It's unplayable in Iron Forge (any of the large cities really) and it's choppy in smaller cities. But this is at highest resolution. It's quite playable at low resolution I'm sure if I upgraded to 1GB it would...

    WoW Guild Organization Programs?

    exactly, and thats "just the tip of the iceburg" because the more I think about it, the more items keep popping up that I would like to track. I could make something in excel, but for one I am not that great with excel and for two, if someone else was using something that is effective it...

    Windowblinds

    I use winblinds on my laptop and I like it a lot. Used it on my desktop when I was running winxp pro but haven't re-installed it after getting MCE2005. Laptop runs MCE2005 - winblinds doesn't slow anything down either.

    Need Help Finding Laptop ~ $750.00

    I can't seem to make a decision. It's tough finding a laptop when you're on a budget. The most intensive thing I'll be doing with the laptop is playing Oblivion. It doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to work. I'll be doing picture editing also, and making spreadsheets, but other then that...

    Okay seriously wtf is the deal with these lifetime warranties?

    lifetime warranty's on electronics suck, they're usually just for the product lifetime, if they don't make the product anymore, you're out of luck. Usually, if its more involved, they'll list it in the small print. It will say somewhere if they aren't making that specific product anymore...

    Sirius S50

    I am planning on getting the Sirius S50 as soon as it comes out - it's been postponed for like a month, now nobody knows when it will be out. You can only get live Sirius Radio when you're docked. Outside the docking station it's an mp3 player. However, if you have line of sight with the...

    How to Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF) on my mobo

    no option to enable in the BIOS. NV Mixer enables it through the software, but it still won't play audio through it The color coded analog connections in the back work just fine, so I've just resorted to using that. I can't see why any audio will not play through the S/PDIF connection...

    How to Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF) on my mobo

    when I hook it through the computer, it isn't outputting at all. not a question of outputting in digital or analog. when the computer is hooked up to the receiver, no sound goes through and it seems like S/PDIF isn't enabled. I completly forgot to check the bios though. argh!

    How to Enable Digital Audio (S/PDIF) on my mobo

    oh, and the reason I think it's not enabled through the motherboard, or through some software or something, is because the S/PDIF option is grey'd out on the Volume Control

    color laser printers print hidden serial codes

    I didn't read the link, but they have to do this so people don't counterfit money. In fact, color copiers identify bills if they're attempted to be scanned, and auto notify the whatever department handles all that crap
