    Fair Price for Sony KDL-52XBR5 52-Inch

    I am purchasing some lawn equipment from someone who is moving and I can also purchase their TV. It is older but the reviews looked really good when it came out.

    MS Outlook Question

    I am currently running Office 2003 on my work computer but will be getting a new computer with Office 2007 tomorrow. It has been a long time since I migrated my Outlook data files from one PC to another and I could use a refresher. My work e-mail uses POP servers in case that makes a...

    Video Editing with AVCHD

    GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3R + Intel E7200

    I have decided on this motherboard and processor but have read that this board will require a bios update for the E7200. Since I do not have another processor to use in this board until I can update the bios will I be able to get up and running with the included bios? Thanks:)

    How many case fans?

    I am looking for a quiet but yet cool system. I will be running an Intel E7200 overclocked (hopefully past 3 GHz). I have heard that the case fans that come with the Antec P182 are not the quietest so I am looking to replace them. If you could recommend replacement case fans and how...

    Lotus Notes Question

    Here at work we use Lotus Notes version 6.5.2. I will be leaving this job this week and would like to keep some of my e-mail from the past three years. I can select individual e-mails and forward them to my personal e-mail, but that is very time consuming. I know with Outlook I can copy my...

    My current case is a cheap ATX case with an underpowered (280 watt) power supply. I want to upgrade it to something with a better power supply, quieter noise levels and better cooling. I am considering the Antec Sonata II. I have also looked at the Antec P180 but am confused why this case...

    128MB vs. 256MB

    I am rethinking my purchase of a 6600GT and am looking at a plain 6800 that has been tested at 900 MHz memory speed and with the 4 extra pipes enabled. This makes the card very similar to a spec 6800GT. However, the 6800GT has 256MB of RAM and the plain 6800 only has 128MB. I know that...
