    Half-Life 2 for $30

    The website says: "Login with the username and password we email to you". I assume the reason why they create your Steam account for you is because you don't get the CD key? It also says: "Users should understand that RareglitchGames.com does not sell Steam Accounts"... so do you actually get...

    Memorex DVD-R DVD+R 50 8x

    It's a soso deal because there's a 50 spindle for $19.99 pretty much every week and Memorex uses CMC almost exclusively these days, which are among the lower quality discs. If these were Fujis which are often Taiyo Yuden discs, then I would say it's hot, but this deal is soso.

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me also. The first time I called, they said they would change the status back to valid and never did, I had to call a 2nd time for them to actually correct this. This isn't even the first time I've had problems with Seagate rebates... Another time they claimed...

    OT : Seagate MIRs

    Almost the same exact experience here... twice even. The first time, they said they never recieved it so I faxed it in and it was actually fairly quick after that so I thought maybe it really did just get lost in the mail. So I bought another Seagate drive w/ a rebate and have had almost the...

    CompUSA - Seagate 160G - $59.99 after $100 MIR .. Hot??

    While that almost makes sense, if it were really the case, the prices at the b&m store should CONSISTENLY be higher then their prices online and that simply isn't the case. For the most part, regular prices and sale prices on their website DO match prices at the b&m store, and yet somehow I'm...

    Yeah, the $20 instant rebate didn't ring up for me at the register and at first they tried to tell me that they don't pricematch online because of shipping and handling costs, to which I said: "Then what you're saying is that CompUSA deliberate tries to make money from shipping and handling...

    CompUSA - Seagate 160G - $59.99 after $100 MIR .. Hot??

    I went to CompUSA on Sunday and the $20 instant rebate didn't even ring up automatically, I had to get them to check their own website. It was $160 - $20 ir = $140 - $50 mir = $90 ar.

    Gigabyte 8IGX goes to sleep and can't wake up...

    I have a Gigabyte 8IGX motherboard and once it goes into sleep mode, it can't ever wake up. There's no way to disable ACPI from the bios, you can only choose between S1 and S3 but neither has worked. I've clean installed Windows XP 3 times already and tried various things in between each...

    Where is PCI/AGP lock for Gigabyte 8igx??????

    I think the reviewers got the GA-8IGXP which may have the PCI/AGP lock but the GA-8IGX doesn't have it. I have the GA-8IX and I was a little disappointed when I found out it was not the same boards the reviewers recieved. BTW, is the 8IGX giving you any problems with the power management...

    null/void

    The board only has options for S1 and S3 and I've tried both and neither works. Same thing either way, once the computer goes to sleep, it dies. I've turned off all the power management options in Windows XP.

    Speaking of the Gigabyte GA-8IGX... I'm having issues with the ACPI it seems. Once my computer goes to sleep, it's essentially dead, it can't wake up from sleep mode. I've done a clean install Windows XP 3 times already and just about anything else I could try in between each install without...

    expected temperatures w/ p4 2.26?

    I'm not sure exactly what my case temps are, I don't think the GA-8IGX has a system temp sensor... Are you using the same motherboard? I have Lian-Li PC-82 with the 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan.

    expected temperatures w/ p4 2.26?

    I have a P4 2.26 GHz cpu (stock retail heatsink/fan) with a Gigabyte GA-8IGX motherboard and I'm seeing 47C (idle) and 55C (full load)... is this normal? I know there's some variability between temp measurements on different motherboards but 47C on idle seems pretty high. I've re-installed...

    Are you sure they're rebadged Plextors?... cause all the Plextor rebadged drives like TDK, Creative, Iomega all have the same firmware versions (1.08 is the latest) and can be flashed using the new Plextor firmware update program. The Lite-On drives have firmware versions like LS17, LS22, L31...

    RAM or CPU problem?

    I have P3-933 and 256Mb of PNY PC133 and it seems to runs fairly stable at 1050MHz@1.8V (150MHz FSB) on my ASUS CUSL2-C but after a while, I get errors in Prime95. The CPU temp is around 35C idle and reaches 45C max running Prime95. Is there any way to tell if it's the CPU or the RAM that can't...

    Compusa 12/10/32 Iomega cdrw = Sanyo CDR-BP1300P **Update# 2** **Confirmed** how to tell if it's a plextor without opening the box!!!! =)

    I got a Plextor but I was just wondering, has anyone tried to overburn with the Sanyo? I had a Sanyo 12x4x32x SCSI (CRD-BP2) before and it wouldn't overburn. Is Sanyo allowing their newer drives to overburn now?
