    6 DVDs (priced at $9.99 or less) for $30 at CompUSA B&M

    CompUSA in King of Prussia, PA was quite picked over as well. The two I wanted the most (Donnie Brasco and Swingers) were completely gone. I ended up finding six that I really wanted anyway, and would have probably paid $10 each for under other circumstances... So, great deal! As for the guy...

    APC 500VA UPS for $19

    I have a BE500U, and if you're willing to jump through a few hoops, you can use it as a network UPS. To do so, you'll need to install apcupsd which you use in place of the standard PowerChute software (which is crap anyway, especially on Linux.) The setup isn't easy for novices, but once you...

    100 Cardinal Poker Chips (casino weight) $9.99 (Toys R Us)

    Thanks for the heads-up on this one. Grabbed 2 tins of the 100's and they're of very nice quality. Weight is a hair or two less than Atlantic City chips, but for the casual player, they're a huge upgrade from crappy plastic chips, and certainly a better value than $60-$80 on EBay.

    Comcast to raise download to 3Mbps

    Be careful with the new "faster" caps, folks. Comcast is starting to suspend the accounts of people who use up too much bandwidth. Nevermind that THEY'RE the ones increasing the caps, or that there's no specific amount of bandwith they have in mind... They're just doing it to whoever they...

    spartan 9 in 1 table 79.99 with $10 GC and Free Shipping

    Before everyone goes crazy buying these, check the specs... 2 feet wide and less than 4 feet long. Might be good for little kids with short attention spans, but definitely not a serious foosball, ping pong, or pool table. Jack of all games, master of none.

    200GB WD SE for $99.99 + tx w/ $100 MIR

    Well I stopped by the BB in King of Prussia on my lunch break today, and there was one 1600JB box on the shelf, and it was, indeed, a 1600JB and not a 2000JB. So either there were never any of the "special" 1600JB boxes at my BB, they all sold out, or the BB employes pulled them as someone here...

    I don't think he's going to be able to cash in on 11 rebates (well, 22, since it's 2 rebates per drive.) The rebate is limited to one per name/customer/address. Unless all eleven were purchased with separate receipts, and he plans on giving them to 11 friends and having the friends cash in the...

    S-Video to RCA cable, Cat 5e cable

    Conehead, I think you may have gotten the wrong adapter. The 6" adapter you linked to is called "VIDEO Card to DVD Adapter" and in the description it says "Mini Din 7 pin Male to RCA Jack." I think S-Video uses a 4-pin connection, not 7 pin. This cable may be for a less popular jack that...

    Yeah, I got that email too, and you know what I did? I DELETED IT. Oh, the horror of having to hit the "delete" key! ChefJoe's comments are correct. This is a GREAT hosting company for someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't mind the occasional (and I mean occasional) glitch. I've...

    Ripplehost web hosting?

    I've only been with them for a couple weeks, but my sites have been running just fine. Momentary (~3 or 4 minute) glitch yesterday where the name servers weren't responding, but I've had those kind of glitches with more expensive hosting services, too.

    Maxim free 2 years

    I've dealt with freebizmag before, but never seen this one... Is it legit? Or just another "collect addresses and send junk mail" site? Also, do these operations generally work for people who already subscribe? I have to renew soon and I'd love to get 24 issues free... But I have a hunch...

    Hot Hosting Deal? $1/month

    Anyone who seriously believes that "you get what you pay for" doesn't belong in the Hot Deals forum. A "deal" is, by definition, getting something of high value for a lower price, right? So by your definition, if there was a hosting company that charged $100 a month, but kept 99% of it as...

    Hot Hosting Deal? $1/month

    With all due respect, I appreciate your attempt to sound knowledgeable, but, well, you're wrong. "Security" doesn't just mean encryption. A password field is more secure than a text field BECAUSE of the fact that it cannot be as easily shoulder surfed. What good is encryption on the wire if...

    Hot Hosting Deal? $1/month

    Rossman, Thanks for the tip on ripplehost. I'm sure it won't be $4.99 a year for long, but so far it looks like a good setup (aside from the clear-text password thing mentioned above.) It'd be nice if they allowed ssh and/or telnet shell access as well, but for $4.99/year, I guess that's...

    Hot Hosting Deal? $1/month

    The only thing that seems shady about ripplehost is that the password fields are all input type=text instead of type=password, so your passwords get typed out in a plain text field (instead of *'s or similar.) And all over non-SSL lines. That's very poor security. I wonder if the admin has...

    XP 1700+ dead - but why?

    Absolutely no evidence of any burning or overheating. Though that doesn't mean it *didn't* overheat, as it's possible for a CPU to overheat and show now outside-visible damage. But since temps were never over 50, I don't understand how it happened. Guess I'm sending 'er back to Newegg.

    XP 1700+ dead - but why?

    Yeah, I will definitely do a BIOS upgrade and try again... But it's not looking good for the home team. Even with corrupt BIOS, I'd expect at least some funny beeps and some video unless the CPU is screwed. The PSU is a brand new 400W, it's definitely got enough juice. Could BIOS problems...

The first two or three times I booted (with no peripherals) things looked good, went into the PC health status screen and temps stayed steady below 50 degrees. So I attached my...

    Reasonable OC expectations?

    Well, it is the value RAM. I didn't have the $ for HyperX, and some of newegg's reviews of the HyperX RAM referred to problems using HyperX in the NF7-S. It's only $25 more though, so maybe I should consider it if it'll make a big difference. What do you guys think? Hey bgeh, your rig page...

    Reasonable OC expectations?

    I'm an ABit loyalist, and with rev 2.0 of the NF7-S board, I can finally say it's time to upgrade my KT7-RAID. With NewEgg's deals on 1700 CPU's, and their decent price on the NF7-S, it was a no-brainer purchase. Managed to get the NF7-S, XP 1700+, a Vantec Aeroflow, some Kingston PC2700 RAM...
