    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..

    Viewsonic 24" LCD for 219.00 at Costco starting 2-9-09

    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)...

    Dell XPS Nehalem i7-920 + 23" LCD system $999

    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.

    HOT HOT Deal!!! Gateway laptop M-6862 $425 After IR!!!!!! YMMV

    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...

    BenQ T241W 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor

    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...

    Computer won't boot from CD?

    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...

    Computer won't boot from CD?

    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...

    Decent mobo for Pentium D 805

    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...

    24" LCD monitor vs. 26" HDTV

    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"...

    EVGA Step-up

    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.
