Awesome deal.. I jumped. The Viewsonic I got from Costco is going back when this one arrives.. So cool that it could be a TV as well with HDMI and component etc. And the full 1920 x 1200 res.. So nice..
I work in the sales department at the Costco in East Plano, Texas (for over 3 years now). I can tell you that LCD monitors DO carry the lifetime return policy. As long as you keep your membership over the course of owning the item, you can return it. Now if you cancel (or simply don't renew)...
If I remember correctly, if 4GB are installed (4x1GB sticks like the Dell), then 3 of the sticks run in a tri-channel mode, and the fourth runs in a single channel mode. I could be mistaken though. Granted, I've never agreed with Dells RAM prices. Total ripoff.
I ordered that PSU earlier this week. Get it tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. Also got a P5Q Pro, 4GB Corsair RAM, and an EVGA 9800GT for like $310 after rebates.. Also picked up a brand new Q6700 from a guy I work with for $110. I didn't believe him at first! Can't believe how cheap...
Has anyone been able to find a 9 cell battery for this notebook cheaper than Gateways price? Trying to find a cheaper option than dumping $200 on Gateway.com
Awesome deal. Got the notebook for $460 at the Frisco, TX store. When I applied for the $100 discount, I chose the Time Warner deal. Didn't require my SS#, drivers license, etc. Just a phone number and address.. I didn't have to sign anything either. Haven't had anyone call me yet though...
I've been researching LCD monitors lately and I've come across the BenQ T241W 24" widescreen monitor. The specs look good but it appears to be released recently so there isn't many reviews. Wondering if anyone has any experience with BenQ monitors and can comment on their quality. My dad is...
I'm an electronics engineering undergraduate student at the University of North Texas. I'm taking a class called Digital Logic and we have a semester project. We use Altera Quartus II software. The problem statement is this:
"Using state machine design, input two BCD numbers from switches...
Recently I installed the Realtek HD Audio drivers for my EVGA 680i motherboard. Normally I have it disabled because I have an x-fi soundcard.. but I need to use the Realtek for the optical out so I can connect my computer to a receiver and some Polk Audio RTi6 speakers (I'm home from college...
I'm an idiot. I have my computer connected to a 47" 1080p tv. When booting up the edges of the screen are cut off, so you cant see text on the edges. Well... all I saw was "Boot CD.." but it never showed the increasing ". . . ." timer waiting for an Enter key. So I never knew to hit enter...
I've tried disabling quick boot, but that didn't work. I've tried installing a different IDE CD rom drive, that didn't work. I've tried installing a floppy drive and booting into MS DOS... I got into DOS mode but no command would work. Even C:\ was not recognized. The Samsung SATA drive I...
I'm trying to install Windows Vista, but for some reason my computer won't boot from a CD. I've set my CD rom as the first boot device and I've also tried pressing ESC at the post screen and choosing the CD rom as the boot device and it still won't boot from CD, just loads Windows XP. I've...
Recently my 7950GX2 has been giving me some trouble. After reinstalling my computer (fresh drivers etc) my computer has been giving me problems. It will work just fine for about 15 mins but then after some time has passed my monitor (Dell 2405) will seem to lose signal and turn off, then...
Just got a Pentium D 805 machine up and running using the stock HSF and the idle temps are about 65C degrees breaking 70C degrees under load.. Is this waaay too high? Should I check to see if the HSF is mounted correctly, and maybe replace the stock thermal paste with something else? I know...
Building a budget computer for a friend and she is very very tight on money. I'm goin with the Pentium D 805 since its the cheapest dual core processor by quite a bit, compared to AMD. I know Conroe's are outrageous performers, but its simply too much even for the lowest end cpu. Plus, the...
My friend has that Samsung tv which he is using as a computer monitor. Its a nice TV and works ok as a monitor, but its severely limited because of its low resolution. I would definitely recommend getting a true computer monitor with a higher resolution. Have you considered the Dell 24"...

*shrug* CNET seems to like the 2405FPW... User opinions seem to agree with its quality as well.. But I guess all these people don't know what good image quality is right? I mean, the evil Dell monitor is TRICKING...
With the release of the 7950GX2, I was just curious how long it typically takes EVGA to add newly released cards to the step-up program. I'm runnin short on my eligibility time period. I know with the release of the 7900 series of cards people were stepping up fairly quickly it seemed. I have...
I work at Costco in Plano (east), Texas. Yes, you can return anything, at anytime, for a full refund. The only thing with restrictions is comptuers, which have a 6 month return policy. Christmas trees returned in April :P Its quite entertaining.
I've got a receipt for my in store pickup.. but has anyone else planning on doing instore pickup received the confirmation email yet? Just curious. Wondering how long it takes. Says within 24 hours.
I had that problem with my current system (specs in the sig). I'd be surfing the web and my computer would blue screen and restart instantly. This ONLY happened while surfing the internet. Just had to keep increasing the voltage to the CPU until the problem stopped. Haven't had the problem...
I work at the Costco in Plano, Texas (If anyone lives nearby and shops at Costco, my name is Donny, I pull carts! Say hello =P). Nothing beats Costco's return policy. Think of an expensive purchase from Costco as an investment.
Funniest returns I've ever seen:
Expensive grill that had...
Just recently bought NFS:MW.. I play at 1920x1200 with everything cranked and the game runs beautifully. However I have a weird problem (that I have with other games as well) where my computer will sort of lock up for about 30 seconds.. sound will stutter, then completely stop, then come back...
