Not sure whether you can get the 4G LTE versions anymore; they are not showing up. I was able to snag a 64 GB HDX 4G LTE at $159 on 12/08. I confirmed with AMZN, no obligation to add wireless services....
Just bought this Y500:

Check this one out. Excellent deal - I ordered one for my son today; could not pass up on it due to the price, even though I was looking at a P8700 based model.
Called Behr Paints rebate number. They said to go and deposit/cash the check and it would be honored. Called Advance Auto Parts - they said not to cash the check as it would most likely bounce. They said that they would be sending replacement checks out within 30 days and to call if check was...
1. Is OCZ in the mix too? I have checks from OCZ, Corsair and Patriot to cash. I think Corsair and Patriot use the same house, not this one, but am not sure of OCZ - I will have to dig up my copies etc. to verify. The banks are the same for all three though!
2. Also have checks from...
Some more points on the use of air compressor for blowing out electronics - I have used my air compressor for years now without any issues. ALL the fan blades should be secured gently. I use a small screwdriver between two blades and do not put any pressure on the blades. You do not want to...
I just bought this drive enclosure (Antec MX-1) from Buy.Com last week and it was $30. It is much higher now, but goes on sale periodically. I am happy with it.

I put together an Antec MX-1 and Samsung HD753LJ this afternoon. After quick formatting the new drive, Vista 64 recognized it immediately. I am using the provided eSATA cable directly on the eSATA port on my P5Q Deluxe MB - bypassed the eSATA bracket provided that would connect to a SATA MB...

Costco sells the 2253LW for $230 with full warranty, return policy etc. I know BestBuy matches Costco prices as I got a 22" Samsung T220 this past weekend from BB with Costco price match. I bought from BB due to having a few gift cards...
I had two of three P5Q Pros turn out defective and went with the Deluxe version. However, since my builds < one month ago, the number of reviews at NE for the Pro model have more than tripled and this board is selling like crazy. The Deluxe was overkill for me. Comes with additional cables...
Are you sure? 0.27 A = 2700 mA. Under normal use, the fans may not draw 0.27A however. Still something to check out. Perhaps others will provide clarification.
I just built three units with the Sonata Plus. I placed one 92 mm tricool DBB fan in the front of each. Running the rear 120 mm and the front one on low. It runs cool, is very silent and I like it. The Solo is identical but without the PS, so you can customize. I also have a brand new mini...

Antec Neo series is not bad. Buy.com has good prices on these. Even the 650 watt is within your budget.......

The static bag is not sealed based on 3 Pro MB's I bought. Of course two were DOA. I returned all three and got the P5Q Deluxe boards. The static bags were not sealed. So this is typical and not an issue. The fingerprints do not sound good, but it could have been a randomly selected board...
I just built 3 units using the P5Q Deluxe boards. Excellent board with plenty of cables and a fan (that should not be used unless you are using WC for the CPU etc.) - so includes some gingerbread that you may not use. Basically, the three units I built are similar to your wants, i.e.

Set up all 3 P5Q Deluxe MBs up yesterday. All booted up fine with no issues. Once again, the Patriot and OCZ memory 2 X 2 GB memory modules (fixed links) work fine:

I initially posted my issues on the PS section, as I thought my PS on one case was bad. However, here it is:

For sake of continuity, I am including the parts I used in my three builds:

The Corsair has a 120 mm fan that will have to be placed against the bottom of the 182 chassis or top - nowhere to pull air from in a sense. The PCP&C unit on the other hand has a fan directing exhaust to the outside from the 182. Just based on this, my recommendation would be the PCP&C.
Update: Removed the PS from the 3rd partial build and tried it on the non-working unit. No-Go. Then I completed the 3rd computer and crossed my fingers and powered it up. Exactly the same problem as the second one. The green LED standby indicator was on, but nothing else. I contacted Asus...
I spoke to Antec yesterday. The CS rep suggested that I swap the power supply from my 3rd unfinished unit into this one, for the quickest check. Will see what happens. If this does not work, I will take it all apart and start checking my assembly etc. Thanks, I truly appreciate the assistance.
Thanks for the response. I am stumped now. I jumpered the PSON and a ground with one modular cable connected on the PS. The 12 V power connector was unplugged. The PS fan came on in a second or two. I could measure 12, 5 and 3 volts on the 24 pin connector and the 8 pin connector read 12...
Thanks for your response and leads. I unplugged all PS related connectors from the MB and turned on the PS. Against a ground on the 24 pin plug, only the green PSON and violet STANDBY pins show any voltage. The green one indicates 2.571 volts and the violet one 5.04X volts. Everything else...
I just shorted the power on pin (green wire) and an adjacent ground (black wire) on the 24 pin connector and no response. The green light on the MB is on, but nothing else.
Hello,

Looking at this MB for new build. The Biostar site reflects a 5.x spec. and 16 gb of max memory, but ZZF and NE report 8 gb memory for the MB, but no 5.X spec. Obviously, I want to get the latest MB and appreciate any clarification. Thanks, aba...
Thanks - Newegg has a great deal on this PS with an E8400. Essentially you get the PS for @$30 or so with rebate plus combo discount. However, I am struggling with my decision as the clearance for PS fan will be minimal in the P180 mini. I will have to orient the PS with the fan facing down...

For the mid-towers at home that are on carpet (Sonata I and P180B), we use two granite tiles (12" X12" or 13" X 13", I do not remember) butted up to each other to isolate the PC's from the carpet. It looks good and works for us. However, this system will not work for you as it is only ~3/8"...
Appreciate the reply. Newegg treated me very well and is cross shipping the replacement board. I should have it by Thursday at the latest. I received my EVGA 7900GS KO card today. Playing the waiting game now. aba:)
Update:
I sent a note to MSI technical service yesterday morning. They reponded later in the afternoon and advised that I do not use the board at all, and to RMA with Newegg. Great, fast CS response. Now I have to deal with my first RMA experience with Newegg. Everything has been great with...
