    Force FX lightsabers $50 on clearance thru walmart.com

    Another note, these are high quality replicas and are pretty durable as they come. They arent meant for real dueling with another saber though. But. . .if you really want to geek out you can buy conversion kits that replace the stock led blade with one without electronics in it and a laser...

    A TRUE gift for the RC or car buff in the family. A 1:4th 1951 Merc Led Slead, powered by 2stroke motor!

    Most of the general public don't buy oem cpu's, but a good percentage of users on this forum do. If the car was on sale or this price was lower than it is somewhere else then maybe its a deal but as the op posted "the ultimate gift for the one with the ultimate check book account." That...

    A TRUE gift for the RC or car buff in the family. A 1:4th 1951 Merc Led Slead, powered by 2stroke motor!

    C'mon man, a $5k remote control car is not a "Hot Deal." (unless it crashes and catches fire) If people start posting every cool niche market enthusiast item they find this forum will be filled with stuff 99.9% of the readers would never buy.

    Thinking of RMAing my HD4850, unsatisfied.

    The 9800gtx+ is equivalent of the 4850. However, price wise you would be better off buying a gtx 260 which you can get for around $220 after rebate decently regularly ex: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...370&CMP=AFC-C8Junction (comes with a free copy of crysis) use promo code...

    Do any of you GTX260/4850/4870 owners still have FarCry?

    Hmm, well it's aged pretty well although HDR isnt working too well for me. Sometimes it looks great but then it goes bonkers when theres too much contrast., candles are blindingly bright, things like that. Good god the checkpoint save system is aggrivating though. I had forgotten about that.

    Do any of you GTX260/4850/4870 owners still have FarCry?

    I was actually just thinking about digging far cry out and re-installing when I ran across this thread. I've been taking a break from buying new games and playing through some older ones again. I had totally forgotten about the content they added, it came out well after my 1st playthrough...

    [PC] Mass Effect $29.90 @ GoGamer.com *UPDATE* Back up to $39.90 now

    Just finished this, the storyline wasn't too bad, albeit predictable. I'm not going to go into a long rant as this isnt the place to do so but I found the side-quests very poorly integrated into the main storyline so they felt like a lot of filler to just make the game larger/longer. That...

    Yeah, it appears to have sunken back into its grave for now. Although since its been working so poorly since they brought it back, perhaps they're trying to fix the problems with click-throughs not showing the banner on ebay.

    Yeah, i just wish it was an EVGA and I would jump on it. I want to be able to step-up to the 55nm version which should be coming in the next couple months. BFG does have their own 'trade-up' program but it looks to be entirely at their whim if they let you use it on new cards that come out...

    Motherboards, why am I having such a hard time lately finding one that works right

    Yeah, I used to use ASUS boards but I have seen a lot of people reporting problems with those as well. Plus both the budget P35 and P45 boards have the most retarded 24pin location I've ever seen.

    Try downloading the newer version of Coretemp 0.99.1 I had a similar issue when I had an E6750; the Tjunction value for the E6750 which the .95 version of coretemp uses is off and it causes incorrect readings.

    You don't need 3 separate paypal accounts, just different ebay accounts. There's hundreds of pages of discussion and peoples chat logs with live search reps on slickdeals and fatwallet and the only caveat is that its limited to 3/ebay account.

    CPU limitation for my system

    Your CPU wouldnt be hopelessly outclassed by a 4870. A lot will depend though on what kind of games you play and at what resolution. If you play RTS's like world in conflict or supreme commander, those are far more cpu dependent than say Crysis or most other FPS.

    My PC can't support my latest 19" LCD! help!

    Yeah, definitely update the drivers. My wife got a new 22" monitor and I needed to update her onboard raedon xpress 200 drivers before it would display widescreen correctly. If that doesn't fix the problem you can get an add-in card from newegg for a whopping $25 shipped...

    Help my hard drive broke!

    Your ghost disc should be bootable and if its the current version it will search attached drives for an image file when you boot from it. Don't re-install windows/ghost on the new drive, restoring the image will do that for you. You may need to format the drive before you can write the image...

    Any ideas for a shared calendar/other personnel scheduling/location software
