    Which Flash Drive?

    I have a Cruzer Micro 512mb and I love it. I use it to carry around school work as well as keep install files for good to have programs like AdAware, driver installs, etc incase I need to help someone elses computer. I haven't heard anything bad about any of the SanDisk flash drives so i'd say...

    USB Flash Drive and Restriction Software

    So I have a SanDisk 512mb Cruzer Micro flash drive, and I use it constantly to hold notes, papers, etc for school. The problem is at my university, a lot of the computers have restriction software that limits access, specifically right clicking most things. This is a problem when I try to safely...

    Shuttle Case + VGA Silencer?

    The AGP slot is on the edge so i doubt the silencer will fit. I'm hoping Shuttle notices this(i sent them an e-mail a while ago with no reply) and they flip the slots around. A VGA silencer would be awesome in a Shuttle, so we can better OC and make up for the lack of support for the high end...

    thermaltake 420w psu, is it good?

    I have it on my P4 system and so far it's been running solid after 4 months. I can't help you on the two 12v rail question though, I never noticed it.

    Bought a func1030 mousepad, recieved it today...

    I have the orange/blue fUnc 1030 and i love the damn thing. I mean, a mouse pad can only do so much, but i have no problems with the pad and I love the cord clip that it comes with. It's also the same pad Alienware uses.

    Glass Screen Magnifier for 17" monitor, do they work?

    I don't know from experience, but it sounds like it could be hell on the eyes. Think of trying to stare through a magnifying glass for hours on end. It might not be the most comfortable experience.

    Shopping for 19" LCD Monitor

    pretty much. Dell has that Dellf game going on, where you can win a 25% off coupon and save yourself 200 bucks off the 2001FP. I'm getting ready to buy one with a coupon myself. Cart is telling me 638.21 total.

    Recommend a good USB flash drive.

    Oddly enough, I have the Cruzer Micro and it is probably the best pen drive I have ever owned. I really don't have any problems with transfer speed.

    my CRT can't reach that resolution. It's a 4 year old Compaq monitor.

    9600XT resolution possibilites

    Ugh, almost seems like more effort than it's worth. I could spend a total of like 800-900 total for a 2001FP and a new video card to support it, or just get the samsung 17 i was looking at before the Dell deal came along. And I also just realized that the X800 from AT's article yesterday is PCIe...

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    I can't seem to get that $40 off $350 code to work. Says it's been redeemed, but multiple people have used it. Did it run out of uses?

    9600XT resolution possibilites

    I can't afford a 6800GT. It's going to either be a 6600GT AGP or an X800(the one in AT's article for today). As for gaming on a 9600XT, I have no problems at all gaming right now at 1024x768, settings on nothing less than High on UT2k4 with 60 fps. 75 on the stress test in CS:Source with...

    9600XT resolution possibilites

    Yeah, i'm hoping I can still game decently with the 9600XT if I do get that LCD, or i'll probably have to upgrade to a 6600GT or something.

    9600XT resolution possibilites

    Yeah, i just figured out the desktop part a second ago. the card was set to hide all resolutions my monitor dosen't support. Unchecking that let me go over 1280x1024 for my desktop, but did not change for UT. I was more worried about the 9600xt's support for the resolution without forcing me...

    9600XT resolution possibilites

    I'm possibly getting a Dell 2001FP LCD for Christmas, but I'm worried my 9600XT won't be able to support the native resolution of 1600x1200. It's going to primarily be used on a gaming/LAN computer, so being able to reach that resolution would be very nice. I tried opening up UT2k4 to see if I...

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    Actually, there is both a 20% and a 25% coupon you can get from the game.

    Why I'm choosing the 2001FP over the 2005FPW

    Where'd you get the $25 off coupon? I have the 25% off one already, so i'm at 600 but the more I can chop off the price, the better. I haven't seen either in person yet, hopefully the Kiosk locally has them on display so I can compare them, although I am leaning towards the 2001FP for...

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    i'm gonna try to head up to a kiosk sometime within the next week, hopefully they will have both on display, so I can figure out which one is more fitting for me.

    Dell UltraSharp 2001FP/2005FPW Digital LCD = $554

    are there any more $45/$50 coupons floating around? I finally won a 25% coupon so i'm hoping to knock another 50 off the deal. Also, Can a 9600XT run all the new games at the 2001FP's native resolution of 1600x1200 without sacrificing a lot of detail? Or should I just go with one of their 19's?

    PSU fan bearing noise

    I actually just found out it's not the PSU fan, but my Intel retail HSF. So it's defiantly a bit more serious than I originally thought. I can't register the product with Intel anymore, so I doubt I can make a warrenty claim for a new stock HSF, so any suggestions on a replacement? I really want...

    Silent Video Cards

    I have the Sapphire Radeon 9600XT, and I have not seen any problems at all with it. The card runs CS:Source, HL2 and UT2k4 flawlessly on my P4 with no need for detail reductions. As for Dual DVI, i don't really have any experience with it, so I can't help you there. The Sapphire's heatsink is...

    PSU fan bearing noise

    I have a new system I just completed about a month and a half ago. So far everything has been running great up untill about a week or so ago. I noticed a weird buzzing/weak clicking noise comming from the case. I fiddled around a bit, testing case fans, etc and located the problem to be a fan in...

    Friend has CD-ROM problems

    Ok, here's the scoop. My friend owns a Compaq laptop(detailed specs are gonna be hard to get), and about a week ago he started noticing some problems with the CD-ROM drive. Particularly, the drive refuses to open, producing no clicking sounds at all, so a jam is out of the question. Also, when...

    Logitech Z-2200's Discontinued

    I can't even tell what is different between the 2200's and the 2300's. And yeah, the main reason I wanted the 2200's was because I could easily get them for 65 bucks or so. spending 110 on the 2300's just dosen't seem ideal to me. Some websites are still selling what's left of the...

    Logitech Z-2200's Discontinued

    No! I wanted these speakers so bad. They were OOS for weeks after i put my order in, and finally they send me this, which was the last thing i wanted to hear. It was such a good deal, 115 bucks for a 200watt 2.1 system with a 50 dollar rebate and free shipping, and they go and discontinue it...
