    Ethanol vs Non-Ethanol Gas: 2011 Mazda 3 s

    Yeah, f'n ethanol IS the devil. I just spent almost $500 having my 2004 Honda VTX 1300c repaired as a result of this garbage. Totally ate the carb and petcock up. Should be banished from the earth. Thankfully I found a couple of 100% gas stations in my hood.

    Hitachi Deskstar 1TB HD31000IDK/7K - $69.99

    If I just want to use this is a secondary drive to store music, pics etc on does the 32mb vs 16mb cache matter for this purpose? Also do retail kits like this typically come with the SATA cable?

    Sharp-Dressed Man! $99 suits at Amazon.com

    This thread has been entertaining to say the least. In case anyone skips to the end and doesn't want to read the entire thread. Here is the Cliffs Notes version. One person has an unnatural obsession with trying to convince everyone how shitty the suits are yet has never actually seen...

    Lost Microsoft Office Suite during HP OEM restore??

    A friend of mine has a HP built to order computer she got from Office Depot just under a year ago. She inadvertantly did the recovery thing during a computer foul up. She had Microsoft Office pre-installed when she purchased the PC. After the recovery she is being prompted to enter the key...

    Garmin nuvi 650 - Refurbished $162.99

    Great GPS! Have owned for about a year now. Another option on picking this up for cheaper would be to go the flea bay route. There is a seller offering hundreds of these for $162.45 including Priority Mail shipping. Go through Microsoft Live Search and get 25% rebated off that price...

    Soyo Topaz S 24" LCD $279 at Office Max

    Got mine from Geeks today. It did say 6ms on the box. Shows up as the M24E14. Not going to tear it open to find out if it is S-PVA or P-MVA. It was manufactured in 08-2007. Very pleased so far! No dead pixels or buzzing noises.

    IDE DVD burner with SATA motherboard

    Thanks! Sorry I wasn't as clear as I would have liked. This is exactly what I need. The motherboard, as you noted, in this new Dell inspiron 530 has no PATA (IDE) ports. I just wanted to be able to use my older NEC with the IDE in this new rig. The links to the products at NewEgg are...

    Soyo Topaz S 24" LCD $279 at Office Max

    Placed an order with Geeks this morning before they ran out again. The info in the site still states 6ms so hopefully I get the P-MVA panel.

    IDE DVD burner with SATA motherboard

    I want to use my trusty NEC 3550A in my new Dell Inspiron 530. Can someone point me towards what sort of adapter/cables I need to be able to hook this up to my SATA motherboard? Is there anything I will need to change in the bios afterwards? Thanks!

    Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) RAM Sales @ Newegg

    Sorry linked to the wrong RAM. I thought I had found the same RAM at ZipZoom also with a rebate so you could get a second set but it was different. It was this, Corsair PC2-6400 I bought a set at NewEgg and then got another set at ZipZoom for about the same price after a different rebate...

    Star Trek - All the movies - $39.

    B&M only. No idea about whether it's in a flyer or not. It is in their computer system chain wide so it will ring up the $29.99 price whether marked or not. Mine was actually marked correctly. They had a table up front with a lot of boxed sets on sale. Also check the rest of the store where...

    TomTom ONE 3rd Edition Portable GPS

    With a little bit of Googling TTS can be added to the TomTom One LE. I have a Nuvi 350 as well and have found no big differences in the routes. In fact I have found some to be better on the TT One LE. If you can add TTS to this and get out the door for under $150 it's a steal!

    There is glut of them on eBay right now so you could probably pick one up pretty cheap. Make sure you get one that has the receipt and UPC in tact so you can get the five free DVD's by mail.

    Toshiba HD-A3 HD-DVD Player and 10 FREE HD-DVDs at BB and CC

    You are golden. The 1080p set will do the propper deinterlacing. It is either done via the player or the display. CNet even went as far as to say the 1080i ouput from the HD-A20 and the new HD-A30 looked better with them ouputting 1080i. "Most" current 1080p displays will have a better...

    Sick of Creative? M-Audio Revolution 7.1 Surround Sound PCI Card

    Not even remotely sick of my X Fi music card. Funny to hear people complaining about Creative and drivers when they at least support Vista. No Vista driver for this thing. Been out now, what, 9 months. Pulease!

    Vista and 10 year old Epson 600Q Printer

    Well thanks a TON! I tried several times letting Vista look for it but it kept saying that there was no driver for it. The printer isn't even acknowledged on the Epson US web site. Since the Euro site said it was in the box I went back to manually try and add it. Well low and behold it is...

    Vista and 10 year old Epson 600Q Printer

    Yes I know, The Epson 600Q is a antique. But it has been bullet proof. Still prints great for general use and generic ink is as cheap as water! Of course I have Googled looking for a Vista driver and can't find anything. Just thought I would check with you guys and see if you could...

    Help! Can't open any programs apps in XP

    Thanks for the suggestion. I can't even run my A/V. Keeping getting the message that I don't have authority to run program. I had Kaspersky A/V and Zone Alarm Pro running so I don't know how I got a virus or malware.? It seems to be related to my download of IE 7. I still can't change the...

    I have XP and over the weekend it stopped recognizing my log in. I created a second user and transfered things over but it was still acting weird. This afternoon I tried to download IE7 for a fresh install of that. Now IE is locked on "High" security and will not let me change it. Also I...

    Philips DVP5982 DVD sound problem

    Nothing wrong with the DVD player. It will output the digital audio signal either via HDMI or the digital coax but not both at the same time. I have one that I bought for my parents and ran into this very issue. Why they did this is beyond me. I found the info below on another board but need...
