    Starbucks to cut 600 stores, 8% of its workforce

    Do Newegg prices fluctuate on a daily basis? If you see above, I had originally added the 4800+, because it was listed at $59, then when I rechecked last night, it went up about 20 bucks. Now I look at it again, and it's $60!!

    Is this motherboard failure a coincidence or a consequence of this?

    I've got this older Gigabyte GA-7vrxp motherboard that I've had for about 2 years already, and 2 PATA hard drives attached. I disconnect the second hard drive so I can put it in an enclosure, and after running the PC again for a few hours, I smell that horrible smell you all probably know. I...
