    Sapphire X1950XT $220 after $30 MIR

    Since I missed out on the last 1950 Pro deal, I was thinking of getting this card now that it has dropped in price, but did anyone else see the last few reviews on Newegg from 1/29-1/30? It just seemed odd that the card went from fairly good reviews to complaints about over heating, not being...

    Antec Sonata Power Supply dead?

    Yup I called the 24 hour customer service and he said to either Fax or call back in the morning to get the RMA number and that there shouldn't be any problems. I couldn't wait though so I grabbed a Enermax 420 Watt Noise Taker from Fry's and will probably Craig's List the other PSU when I get...

    typical idle temps for an a64 3000+?

    My idle temps are almost identical to yours, I thought it was high, but i've had no problems in 6 months (aside from last nights PSU failure). I used AS5 with a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF. Sonata case with 2 120mm fans on an Asus board. Our temps (California) are consistantly warm so I was...

    Antec Sonata Power Supply dead?

    I got this Antec Case in Jan. and it has been running smoothly since then. It is only a gaming rig, so doesn't have much hooked up, but I was just playing Joint Ops when the screen went blank and the power lights went out. No noises or anything. Hitting the front and rear power button...

    My girlfriend actually got this deal after looking for the player all over town. The Good Guys (Blossom Hill, San Jose, CA) had 8 of the Philips DVP 642 in back with no display models out, she had to ask specifically for it. It rang up at $69.99 and the guy handed her a $20 rebate from Good...

    Amazon Friday Sale (4/23/04)

    Probably so you don't have to bend over or get out of your chair to turn it on/off... these are somewhat soothing after being on your feet along time, but the effect doesn't last long after you turn it off ;-) J~

    The local Good Guys ad (bay area) has a 30" Phillips Widescreen, HDTV Ready tv with built in DVD player for $650 on clearance, it says while supplies last. I didn't check to see if its the exact same tv model, but thought it might help someone out who didn't get in on this deal. J~

    Lizardman the Hitachi 175SXW2B with the 20 ms panel like the Hercules is or was last I checked $419 (before tax)from Monitorsdirect. I still am unsure on whether to cancel or have them change my order, since my LCD hasn't shipped yet. I haven't seen any definitive side by side comparisons of...

    Need 17" LCD around $400.

    Just saw the special 399 promo code, that is a sweet deal. The dell wasn't more expensive thats why I was asking, but it was a refurbed. The NEC (446 free shipping) from Dell looks to be around the same price now as the Hitachi's (439 and 449) from New Egg and Monitor's direct :( I may just...

    Need 17" LCD around $400.

    Thats a pretty tempting price for the CML175, i've noticed most places the 175 is cheaper than the 174.. doesn't quite make sense. Nobody knows how these panels compare to the 17" Dell? Thanks for the help so far guys, J~

    Need 17" LCD around $400.

    I am in the same boat as LizardMan, and noticed the Dell UltraSharp 1703FP is 428 Refurbed. Anyone have any experience with a refurbed LCD? I'd hate to find a bunch of dead pixels or have it die in a month etc. I was going to go with either the NEC or the Hitachi originally. Is the dell...

    I grabbed one of the 17" LCD's for 300 bucks (price on box was 499), its called a "Gem" 171m. The PLU was 3976728, but its not on the Fry's outpost site, or the manufacturer's website.

    HOT! Audigy 2 ZS Platinum $109.99

    Anyone know if they have any of these still in stock? It says 1-2 days, but i'd hate to order it only to have to wait 2-3 weeks for a new shipment. I just got a Audigy 2 zs gamer at Fry's for $100, but would rather have the Plat if its in stock. J~

    aiw 9800 pro refurb: (very) few, but still some artifacts in 3dmark03

    With a K8V Deluxe, Athlon 64 3000+ and a refurbed PowerColor 9800 Pro at stock I didn't notice any pixelation or white spots in the tests. The card ended up having major problems though (fan would sound like a dentist drill at times and lots of artifacts in 3d games) after only 4 days. Got it...

    Warm: Temple of Elemental Bugs $18 @ Sams

    For anyone that enjoys D&D 3.5 or a turn based strategy its a pretty good game. I didn't think i'd enjoy it much, but there is a bit of replay value. Also Atari/Troika are supporting the game still, the two lead design/programers just finnished working on a 2nd patch over Christmas and it is...

    2 Instances of XP on startup?

    AMD64 3000+ Price Drop and Mem Question

    One last Noob question for you Mark. I was going to get the CPU and the Asus K8V Deluxe bundled together from Mwave, but it will come with the Fan installed as well. Would this prevent me from adding the Thermaltake Silent Boost K8 (as I had already ordered it) or can the stock Fan/HS be...

I know the subject has been beaten to death in previous threads, so i'll try to stay on subject. From...
