    CD/DVD Printing

    All i can say is stay away from Epsons. I've given them a chance, 3 times. Each and every time the print heads would clog like clock work. You could let it sit for only 1 day and you'd have at least 1 clogged nozzle.

    Why does my external HD's speeds suck so bad?

    I swapped it out for a Firewire/USB 2.0 combo enclosure. Running it off of Firewire made a HUGE difference, I am getting consistent 20 MB/sec transfers now. kevinf2090: Vista displays the transfer speed.

    Does formatting a PATA HD normally take a long time?

    I didn't take any chances. I stopped the format, pulled the drive out and plugged it into an old machine and did a quick format. Took like 30 seconds. 4 hours for nothing!

    Why does my external HD's speeds suck so bad?

    I am running a Western Digital Caviar SE 320 GB IDE UltraATA/100 in a Mad Dog USB 2.0 enclosure. Right now I am transfering 46GB worth of data to it and the best it will do is 7.10 MB/sec. Shouldn't it be at least twice this speed?

    Does formatting a PATA HD normally take a long time?

    I just bought a new 320GB Western Digital and started the format out of Vista's disk management. That was an hour ago and the progress only shows 13%. If it makes any difference, I am running the hard drive out a Cypress chipset external enclosure. Could this be what is making it slow, or...

    DELL 10 DAYS of DEALS Starts Tomorrow!

    Lame on Dell's part to jack up the prices on the warranty options. Not to mention they won't even let you purchase the 3 or 4 year options.

    Dell 2007wfp back at 367.20

    behardware.com's review shows the 2007WFP's reponse time is on par with the NEC 20WGX² FP. and even thought Dell's rated refresh is 12-16MS, it is more on par with a 8MS panel.

    Gateway 21" WideScreen FPD2185W

    The buzzing goes away when you turn the brightness up past 80. As an alternative, you can get the Samsung 215TW that uses the same panel as the Gateway at Costco for $529 and it comes with a 3 year warranty.

    DEAD: Warm: Gateway Fpd2185w 539.94 @ staples

    Only thing that sucks about this monitor is that it only has a 1 year warranty and you can't buy the addon 3 year unless you buy it directly from Gateway. My local Costco had it in stock for $539, picked it up there, because of their lifetime in store warranty. And so far, I love it.

    NEW HP (Lite on) Dual Layer 16x DVD-RW with Lightscribe Technology ( DVD Writer 640i )

    HP Scanner 36 free shipping

    Got one for free when I bought my IP4000. The scanner is fine for receipts or documents, but is a pile of crap for photos. If you are only going to use it for casual scanning, for the price its fine. But don't waste your time for photos.
