    DEAD Prescription Glasses $9.99 shipped! TODAY (7/21) ONLY.

    Yep, 1saleaday charged $5 for shipping. My bifocal lenses from GlassesUnlimited were $57.99 and I had to pay the difference. Not sure why as I ordered no extras such as tinting, and my prescription is only +2.50.

    You pay 14.99 ($10 + 4.99 shipping) at 1saleaday.com for a pair of glasses that cost $29.99 at GlassesUnlimited. If you select glasses with optional extras such as no scratch coating, progressive lenses, etc. that cost more than $29.99 then you have to pay the difference. The 1saleaday.com...

    MB recommendation for new 8GB RAM system

    According to the Asus manual, there are very few 2GB certified RAM sticks that are approved for use in all 4 memory slots. Especially when using PC1066 sticks. Also, I'd prefer to stick with an Intel chipset based MB.

    MB recommendation for new 8GB RAM system

    I want to build a 64 bit VISTA system with at least 8GB of RAM and a quad core Intel processor. Some considerations are: 1) it must be capable of some overclocking, 2) DDR2 (because DD3 is too expensive), Do you think that an Asus P5Q Deluxe is a good choice? What might be a better...

    Help please! 2nd DVD burner won't install, P5W DH Deluxe

    Are you sure that the EZ-Backup SATA connectors work with optical devices? I think only SATA2 devices are compatible. Have you tried the Jmicron SATA connector?

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    Hard to believe that three brand new motherboards are DOA! Can you get your hands on an older/slower CPU to try out in case the BIOS was too old to support a 4000+ processor.

    I bought an EX34 for my LianLi V1000 Plus case and it went in easily with no installation problems whatsoever. The quality is very good.

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    I've watched videos with some dark scenes and had no issues. I think the TrueLife mirror screen finish enhances the apparent contrast.

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    For whatever its worth, everyone that's looked at my WSXGA+ TrueLife display has commented how nice it looks. I have it configured to run at its native 1680 x 1050 resolution and opted for the optional ATI Radeon video adapter. Aside from the distracting reflections off its mirror shiny screen...

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    Havn't done much in the way of games so far. But the contrast seems very good although there's a fair amount of distracting reflections caught on the TrueLife screen. The screen brightness drops *significantly* when used on battery power alone so you need to be connected to A/C power to...

    Any Dell SXGA+ owners in the house??

    I bought an E1505 with the 15.4 inch WSXGA+ with TrueLife screen and am very pleased with it. But I've never compared it to an ASUS Z71V. In the end its all in the eye of the beholder.

    A complicated error having to do with IRQ/uPnP conflicts

    I had something similar happen to me a while back. Try removing all of your PCI cards in the machine and reset the BIOS to default. Then insert the PCI cards in one at a time, rebooting after each card is inserted. The Motherboard will go thru its IRQ/PNP algorithm for each card, one at a...

    How many IDE Hard Drives can you have in a computer?

    Keep in mind that each additional hard drive draws power and generates heat. You?ll either run out of power or overheat your system long before you run out of drive letters.

    Should I go FX-60 or OC'd X2 4800+???

    Proprioceptive, Do not use the Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard with the Lian-Li V-1000B case because this MB uses a heat pipe for passive cooling while your case mounts the MB upside down. It's not recommended to use a MB that uses a heat pipe with this type of case. Switch to the Asus...

    How reliable is the IPOD Video vs Nano?

    Yes, she runs with it every single day. I'm sure this played a big part in the frequent failures. She's now getting a small iPOD Shuffle to use during her runs and will try to treat her regular iPOD with much more delicacy. Live and learn. <g>

    How reliable is the IPOD Video vs Nano?

    Because the video iPOD depends on a spinning hard drive, compared to flash memory in the Nano, it is much more likely to fail after any rough experiences. My daughter has had 3 hard drive failures over the past 3 years.

    Choice, Kingwin 424 or Lian Li PC 65 USB?

    Also, the Kingwin 424 is spec'd as "High quality aluminum-mg alloy case with 2.00mm aluminum thickness" while the SkyHawk is described as "High Quality 1.2mm Thick All Aluminum Alloy Frame, Body, Front & Side Panels".

    Choice, Kingwin 424 or Lian Li PC 65 USB?

    The Skyhawk case may be a great value but it is definitely NOT the *same* case as the Kingwin 424. There are a number of differences, both inside and out, compared to the Kingwin.

    Choice, Kingwin 424 or Lian Li PC 65 USB?

    I own both a Kingwin 424 and a different model of the Lian Li. No hesitation in recommending the Kingwin and saving yourself $30. Both of these manufacturers make terrific cases.

    Safe to Buy from ZipZoomFly?

    ZZF is a reliable place to buy equipment from. However their return policy is a bit less attractive than Newegg's. I bought a new hard drive from ZZF that arrived DOA. You must obtain an RMA from ZZF within 15 days from the date the item was shipped. Since a few days tick away while in...
