    Anybody bought any games from Consumerdepot.com?

    I mentioned in Klipsch thread, but I think it's hit and miss (probably worse than 50%). My guess is that if customers returned those games, it probably means 1. games have some problems (bad CDs, bad program) 2. they just stole CD-keys Besides, consumerdepot sent me Dawn of War when I...

    Kingmax Superram pc3200 2x512Mb for only $72.99 after rebate at Newegg!

    I have an old intel845g (333MHz) chipset, and as Beefcake84 stated, one of the modules (with red PCB) gave errors at the same location. The setting was at 333MHZ, 2.5-3-3-6 with 2.6V. Now I have green PCBs and they do fine at 354MHz , 2-3-3-6 with 2.6V. Now all I need to do is to wait for...

    YOyoYOhowsDAjello (haha, what a cool name!) I also received red a PCB initially, and it gave me a lot of errors even at 333Mhz. I RMAed it, and NEWEGG sent me a green PCB. Now the problem was gone. Try to ask NEWEGG to give you green PCB when you RMA it.

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    To one7, Yes, that's what happened. It's very strange, because they should have assumed that I already claimed a dispute. Oh well, I think I am lucky by getting another software. To Lanyap, The key worked fine for me. I think there are many people who returned HL2 because the installer had...

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    I just got Half-Life 2 today from them. (I ordered it, but they sent me some different software before.) What I did was that I sent an e-mail saying that I will dispute the charge if I don't get any information about how to return the wrong item. They never replied, so I got RMA from their...

    Kingmax 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel Kit $83.99

    Mine was Intel system with 845 chip (333MHz) and the PCB color was red. Mmmm. after hearing good stories of green PCB, I am wondering PCB actually makes difference.

    Kingmax 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel Kit $83.99

    Mine was running at 166Mhz (2.5-6-3-3), and still giving errors in memtest. Voltage upto 2.6 did not solve the problem either. Good thing is that RMA process was very easy. Still.... i need to pay for shipping...

    I bought those memories last week, but one of the modules is bad. In memtest, it constantly gives error at 284MB mark. I tried to switch to other slots, and lowered the FSB to 333Mhz, but i got the same result. now it's time to get rma... I would recommend the corsair pairs, if you want more...

    [DEAD] Sennheiser HD-555 Audiophile Headphone

    I have Sennheiser HD280pro and SONY MDR-CD780, and tried Senn HD-580. I think HD280pro has weak bass, but sounds ok otherwise. HD580 was very good for classical music because it could produce those bright sound very clearly without any added distortion. But I couldn't wear it for more than 2...

    Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer Optical 3.0 Wireless

    i bought this mouse from the same company like a month ago, but i hate it a lot... Ergonomic wise it's excellent, but the initial lag is very annoying. Let's say you stop moving the mouse for 10 seconds, and the mouse goes to sleep mode. Then it cannot track the first few pixels. On top of...

    sharper image heat sensitive pillows with $15 off $50 coupon online

    They have %50 off regular prices on heat sensitive foam pillows. For me, I bouth travel ($20) and standard ($35) and used $15 off from $50 (check ecoupon.com). The trick is that you need to buy something else to get this %50 discount, so I had to add batteries($4). I already have their...

    Star Office 7 at $29.99 AR at CompUSA

    I tried eval version of this one yesterday, and I cannot really recommend this for compatibility problem. I mean, each program (document, spread sheet, presentaion)works fine (quick and has enough functions), but when I tried to import from word documents, they messed up format a little bit. So...

    Creative T7700 7.1 speakers for 79.99 AR at CompUSA

    Even when I watch movies, I set my volume control at less than half. I really wonder who can bear 200 W of power constantly when the distance between you and your speakers is less than 3ft unless you have power hungry speakers?

    Creative T7700 7.1 speakers for 79.99 AR at CompUSA

    I cannot really recommend these if you are into music, but then if you want quality, stay away from computer speakers which cost less than $100 (with few exceptions). For games, these work great. Personally, 4.1->5.1 or 6.1 didn't make a noticeable difference, but from 4.1->7.1, I can feel the...

    *dead* Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 Speakers $105 shipped

    I feel kinda cheated by ecost, as they advertised them as 8.2... The dimensions of the speakers I got are the same as 8.1. The reason for the higher frequency seems to be that it's anniversary edition, and the catalogue says that "A refined version of our 25mm textile dome tweeter extends the...

    *dead* Wharfedale Diamond 8.1 Speakers $105 shipped

    I got 8.1 few days ago, and they are awesome. I had small Mission speakers which came with a Denon mini system, and these speakers taught me the importance of quality. Compared to regular speakers with high power input, the Missions had warmth in the sound which led me to buy more classical...

    Belkin 500VA UPS at BB -- $25AR

    I ordered 800VA online for pick up so that I could use 10$ off from 100$ ($99+tax-$60). I think this is one of the best looking UPSs, even though it doesn't really matter. Their monitoring software has a lot of functions which is very nice, too. Thanks Slack3r78 and thedarkwolf.

    Sennheiser Rebates, very hot!

    I got HD-580 last December from newegg, and the rebate has never came through, having said that newegg was not an authorized dealer (even though it is!). Then I called the rebate center to correct the problem, and the lady on the phone told me to check the status in two months. After two months...

    OK, I just called the company today about the missing dots (better to call than to e-mail), and they gave me a discount without a hitch. Now I see why many people like the company because of their support. Very nice company to deal with.

    Khypermedia 50-Pack CD-R - FREE AFTER REBATES

    I think it all depends on. I have LiteOn Drive, and when I burn music on cheap CDs, it tends to skip. Especially after 6-9 months, some of the CDs are not even readable anymore on my CD walkman and car CD player. On the other hand, if I play them on the computer, everything seems fine. In my...

    Refurb Hitachi "Grade A" 21" Monitors $179 shipped "Grade B" for $149 shipped

    I haven't got any reply about the missing phosphorus since August 1st by e-mailing to sales@allthings.com. Actually, I even wonder how this happened, since it's inside the tube. Anyway, I guess I need to return the product, but it's fairly expensive if I use UPS (about $45). Can anyone who have...

    Refurb Hitachi "Grade A" 21" Monitors $179 shipped "Grade B" for $149 shipped

    OK, I got the grade A monitor today, and at first I was so amazed with the picture quality even though it was manufatured in 1999. Then I noticed pebble like black dots (1mm square), and I thought they were because of a scratch or somehitng. But when I look at them carefully, they were inside...

    HOT! - Best Buy 5-25 - 512 MB Kingston PC 2700 $39.99 AR, Verbatim 52x24x52 (Lite-On?) $14.99, More

    To ww4397, I got this info from a Japanese site: It's by Twinmos (not Kingston), but the chips are the same: Winbond W942508CH-6 306WG. PCB is different (GB3-212B) At 2-5-3-2, it does 210-220MHz at 2.6V-3.2V (this is very high...) At 2-5-2-2, it does 177 at 2.6V, 187 at 2.9V, and 210 at 3.2V I...

    I got the Kingston memory with Winbond w942508CH-6 chips. I tested it using MEMTEST86, and it did 2-2-2-5 at 166MHz at 2.5V. I think this is really nice, but it does not like my other memory (Lei), so I am wondering what i should do... I just hope that at least two rebates are allowed, so that I...

    Uber HOT PNY Geforce ti4200 64mg AGP (poss 128mg) 79$ at BBY (Dead)

    I had gotten purple PCB (PNY) last November, and it did only 270/540. Besides it was $99 AR, so I returned it. Now, I got blue PCB (Albatron) yesterday, and it's doing 285/570. I haven't tried anything higher, but for sure there is a bit more headroom. For $79 w/o rebate, I think this is a...

    PNY RAM PC2700 256mg $19.99 AR

    I got SpecTek memory, which does 175MHz at 2.5/6/3/2 (CAS, precharge delay, RAS to CAS, RAS precharge)with default voltage. Anything above this setting will cause error in Memtest86. For CAS=2, even at 166MHz, it was no go... The amzing thing is that a generic ram I got from FRY's a half year...
