    Unlocked Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic phone: $306.00 + free shipping

    Text You can get free 2-day shipping with Amazon Prime (can sign up for a free trial for a few months, I think). I bought this for $340 @ NE a couple of days ago. As my first not-as-dumb phone, I've been happy with it so far. If you're in the market for a new phone, might be something to...

    Amazon.com: 50 MP3 albums for $5 each

    Link I recently decided to purchase music legally again, and this caught my eye as I was browsing for tracks. I would guess this would run at least until the end of 2008, maybe further. As far as I know, MP3's from Amazon.com are DRM-free and 256 kbps bitrate.

    How to enable vsync in Half-Life?

    1920x1080 on a 21.5" monitor?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824116396 I get the advantage of having a 16:9 panel for 1080p, but it doesn't even have an HDMI input. Besides, with a pixel pitch of 0.248mm, wouldn't it be difficult to read text off this monitor? Kind of in the market for a 22" monitor...

    New release pricing timeline/time of year for good deals

    I'm interested in checking out Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 at some point this year, but I only have time to play one for now. So, I'll probably pre-order one now (I'm a sucker for promos) and hold off until I have time/money for the other one or some other game. How long before new releases will...

    Side benefits of overclocking

    I've been reading various tech forums in preparation for building my first system and getting some insight into tweaking it. Among the forum crowd, it seems like overclocking your cpu is a pretty popular thing, if not standard fare when building a system. My question is, what else can you...
