    Hard Drive Tester

    I am a technician for a IT department at a private university. We have accumulated many hard drives over the years, and would like to invest in a standalone hard drive tester so we can dispose of the bad drives and re-purpose the good working ones. We would also like to use the tester on current...

    Cheapest AGP card I can get away with to play CS: Source @ 1920x1080

    nCred, how long have you been running your X1950pro for? That would definitely be my choice of card if my PSU can handle it. I'm using a PC Power and Cooling 410w PSU that gets 22a on 12v. I heard you need at least 30a on the 12v to have the card run stable.

    Cheapest AGP card I can get away with to play CS: Source @ 1920x1080

    Ever since upgrading to my Westinghouse 1080p monitor, I haven't been able to play my beloved CS: Source at a reasonable framerate. Turning down the settings and resolution only made the game look like crap as this panel doesn't scale well at all. Anyways, I'm looking for the cheapest card I...

    X-Fi ExtremeMusic

    Cavalry 500GB - USB 2.0 & eSATA Dual Interface 7200RPM External Hard Drive $129.95 AR

    Just got the drive the other day, it's a Western Digital WD5000AAKS if that helps anyone. Also, do you guys know if Buy.com owns Woot? I got the drive from them and it had "Woot, Inc." on the return address. I thought that was very strange.
