    42" X42GV-Komodo 42" LCD HDTV Sceptre, $899.99

    How's the viewing angles? A family member is interested in going with a LCD above fireplace in living room, so needs decent range to view from slightly below and to both sides. I have a 27" Westinghouse in the bedroom, but it gets very washed out when viewing from more than about 35degrees...

    Strange Z-5500 optical problem

    When no sound is being played, the display just says 'no signal detected', which makes sense. While playing a movie it would say detecting, then grab a signal and have sound for a second or two, then detecting for 10-30 seconds, redetect signal, loose it... Just by chance changing to a...

Then I tried a 25' cheap cable I found in my spare parts box, it looks to be about 16-18 gauge (very thin...

    Gotr Mines @ Micro Center so Here you go

    Good point, I didn't even realize there were so many AGP specs... Below are a few links with AGP 2.0 vs 3.0 cards. Seems like 8x and up are AGP 3.0, that's just an assumption on my part. Check your specs first :) I still may jump on this, seems like a decent system for that family member...

    It's been OOS for the last 6 months, Benq never released this model. New versions supposedly coming out this fall. I gave up and bought a Sony KDF-E42A10 for $1600 instead since flat panel wasn't a critical feature for me. Go HERE and do a search for BENQ for more info on possible release...

    For those of you near a Microcenter, they have the retail 64 3200+ for $271.99 Microcenter 3200+ And here's a review of Athlon 64 3000+ with comparisons to XP 3200+, 64 3200+, P4 3.0 & others. Overall, there seems to be very little difference between 64 3000+ and 64 3200+. 3000+ may be a...

    SUPER HOT!!! Unlimited rentals at blockbuster!!

    I agree. About 1/3 of the DVD's at both my local stores are FULLSCREEN!! Geeze, I'd rent VHS if I wanted fullscreen, what a waste. I asked the manager & he said they only get what headquarters sends them, they can't choose what format they want. I wish Holywood Video was near me.

I wanted to move the GF256 to the 500 computer & get a better card for the 900 to give to a friend. (Parts for my new AMD 2000+ and GF4 should...

    NOT Hot - ATTBI raising rate on cable modem owners

    Hmm... The cost to provide modems to the lease customers goes down, so instead of reducing the lease rate of $10 a month, they increase the rate of those who already bought their modems. Typical AT&T monoplistic crap. I was just about to sign up with automatic bill pay.... I think I'll wait...
