    4-letter search minimum useless for a tech forum

    Sphinx search: http://www.sphinxsearch.com/ I run it on an IPB forum, and it's even integrated into 3.0x. I know there are mods for vB that make it an easy install. 2 letter searches, lightning fast, minimal server load.

    ThinkPad z61t for $539.10

    Ordered without any issue no phone calls from them. In fact, after emailing to inquire why I was being charged sales tax in my state they waived that as well.

    'Above the fold' hot deals?

    I surf at 1280x1024, however for the last few months it's rare that I see more than a couple of user submitted hot deals without scrolling down. I know this has had a negative impact on my experience in this forum. The pinned topics have spun out of control. Sorry for posting this when it's not...

    Refurbished eVGA cards at (no longer) great prices. Check eVGA's site on: July 17th at 0700 Pacific, 1000 Eastern

    Seems you're lucky if you got one. I got the same dear John letter... Here's $50 worthless bucks. To make matters worse, I logged into my account to see if I could find any deals, and the $50 EVGA bucks weren't even there. P.S. 7600GTX, non KO

    Refurbished eVGA cards at (no longer) great prices. Check eVGA's site on: July 17th at 0700 Pacific, 1000 Eastern

    Did they have 10 or 10,000? No need to give away your exact order number.

    The OFFICIAL VOIP internet telephone thread

    http://gigaom.com/2007/07/12/s...ustomers-not-required/ "SunRocket, the ailing VoIP service provider has hit another air pocket: the company has stopped taking new orders, which in a business that is dependent on subscriber growth, is pretty much a kiss of death. Comments over on Broadband...

    The OFFICIAL VOIP internet telephone thread

    1) There's a thread on the skinny billfold claiming you can get SunRocket for $99/year, YMMV on waiving the activation. The key appears to be mentioning that you're with Vonage, or considering them. Phone number for sales is 800-504-8429 2) GigaOM usually posts reliable information, and they...

    Dreamhost: $70 = 1yr, 500GB/5TB, five free domains

    Caveat emptor. Just try and actually use that full quota on a shared server. Never happen. You'll be shut down for excessive server load, or some other excuse. To use 500GB and 5TB you'll need a dedicated server, and they can't offer that amount of bandwidth or a server for $70 year and make...

    OMG...Antec P180 for $49.99AR at CompUSA (free ship with filler too! Also at B&M!)

    I've had the P180 for over a year. The power supply being located in a separate compartment with the hard drives is more of a PITA than a 'feature' IMO. Yes, it's a decent case. Is it more quiet? In my opinion, not much. You still need to purchase a quiet heat sink fan, and new case fans, or...

    50" Plasma Monitor at Costco B&M for $1969

    Most plasmas buzz slightly during very bright scenes. I've never really noticed it. I purchased one of these a couple of weeks ago at Sam's club (who have matched Costco's return policy). I only hear the fans if the volume is muted. My XBOX 360 is 10 times louder. Great monitor. Only thing...

    TIVO continues to offer lifetime as a subscription option through 4/15/06, even for those that have purchased since 3/15

    With HDTV, is a lifetime subscription on a TIVO a hot deal? :confused:

    Warm: Hyundai L90D+ 19" 8ms LCD - $309.99 + ship

    I had an inconsistent backlight problem, and Hyundai does not have very good customer service. Eventually, they got it sorted. However, this monitor ROCKS! I'm going to order a second for a dual-monitor setup.

    Looking for a good webhost

    I've been with a lot of hosts, and I'd resist the temptation to just go with the cheapest, or the one that seems to offer the most. Eventually, they'll let you down with slow servers, down-time, or poor support. LiquidWeb is good, but I'd recommend them for a dedicated server before shared...
