    2TB Western Digital WD20EARS 64MB 3.5" Caviar Green Hard Drive $120

    not bad, but even with the discount + the mwave club discount it ends up being more expensive than the Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB @ newegg. Maybe i just happen to be close to their shipping center (i'm in DC) the FREE shipping is usually next day. hard to beat.

    FEDEX is showing that i should recieve shipment anytime now. EST DEL 01/18 looks like I got lucky here, the first package scan was in Harrisburg Pa about 45min from where i live. So... if you live in pa/ohio you'll most likely get it by friday at the latest

    Do you accept evolution as fact? Yes/No?

    I would like to share some thoughts on the resurgence of the POPULAR and non-scientific debate concerning evolution. Within the scientific community the arguments concern "how,when and where" not "if". Why then the disparity between those most qualified to understand its mechanisms...

    Power Supply

    Of all the things your average computer builder neglects the PSU has to be at the top of the list. This is a huge mistake. Go ahead and save some money buying a cheap case for your machine...sure you'll hate yourself every time you have to work on your machine. eventually youll run out of room...

    Power Supply

    power supplies are a bit like good speakers, in that you can easily manipulate the numbers which supposedly represent thier performance . not that you would pick your power supply using this test but if you happen to be at your local computer parts store try testing the weight of PSU's with...

    chaintech vnf3-250 radeon HUGE prob

    sooo its looking like thats what the problem was. how nice that i couldnt find any reference to this on vantec's site. its not as though there are A BILLION Radon 9500/9700 cards out there . do any other radeon cards have this connector ? or just the 95/9700? i got the psu about a month before...

    chaintech vnf3-250 radeon HUGE prob

    so how about this....my new Vantec PSU has ( i believe) a short protection circuit(normally a good thing) but in this case it sees a "short" due to my card drawing power via the AGP slot AND the additional floppy power cable.<----just a theory . Most cards use that 2nd power hookup for the fan...

    pc2100 with athlon 64

    considering the cost of upgrading your memory...the increase in speed wouldnt be justified. why not... spend it on a crazy "zebo style" cooling system and overclock the bejebus out of your rig? much more fun and youll still be using the cooling system 3 yrs from now. then again i have other...

    So the girl i spent close to $2000 decides to break it off with me.. 2k in 4 months.. I hate women...

    Having spent more than my share of cash on women , the best advice i can offer is that you shouldnt look at the money you spend as an investment. When you "spend money on a women " it should be for an immediate experience , mutual enjoyment. In other words... if you take her out for an expensive...

    chaintech vnf3-250 radeon HUGE prob

    my card is made by sapphire and i had the same thought myself. i rebuilt the power cable and continuity tested the conductors ( even thought the card and cable worked fine in another system). So at this point im sure it must be something specific to my combination of components seeing how they...

    chaintech vnf3-250 radeon HUGE prob

    ok so heres something interesting...if the power cord to my radeon is unplugged when the power(to the system) is turned on AND THEN the vid card's power cord is quickly connected the system will start correctly. The system will also do a soft restart normally without needing to fidle with any...

    A64 3000+; 754 or 939?

    I just spent a week beating my head against this same quandry. In the end i went with the 754 , 3200(retail) and spent under $300(shipped) @ newegg. It came down to time for me, I didnt want to wait arround for a real selection of quality mobo's or detailed comparative benchmarking . I found...
