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...
Just my luck, got two of the 25% off Axim X50 in a row, but no $1 LCD lol. I'm not planning on buying one, but please reply which code you've used.

All of the parts you've selected can be found for much cheaper unless you can't put them together yourself. Except for the P4 and 2 Gig, everything you selected can be had for under $80-100. I'd find a case you like and do it yourself.

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...
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...
Nothing is overclocked, but I will try resetting the Bios before picking up a new PSU. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate the quick responses.

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...
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 ;-)

I just tried to sign up for California, I don't know if I will, no idea what i'd do with the trees, but for California at my address (san jose) I have a choice of 10 Colorado Blue Spruce or 10 Flowering Trees (doesn't say what). So if anyone is in California, it looks like you can still get the...
Ordered mine Monday night Late, got here Today. I randomly grabbed 30 or so out of the stack of 100 and all look perfect. Not seeing any scratches or discoloration like some of the guys above. Will edit later after I burn a couple.

Same thing, ordered early Feb, got the email saying it was delayed, but shipping and still waiting. Bleh Microsoft. I could have actually used it last weekend too, oh well.

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.

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...
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...
Thanks to TheLizardMan from General Hardware for pointing out the CML175B is $399 right now at Monitors Direct, in Ca it came to $431.93 shipped.. the 174/5B seems slighter better with higher brightness, contrast and faster 16ms Response time.
J~
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~
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. I did a quick search earlier and can't find much info about it or its response time. Even the PDF manual was...
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.

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...
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...
After not being able to find any info on how to format XP Pro with a SATA drive on these forums I searched around a bit more and found the answer. I know a bunch of people have been looking for this, so here's the link.
SATA Slipstreaming
I'm trying to get all the drivers together tonight, so...
Ok, tried to setup the new comp with a SATA drive, XP doesn't find it (realized its a common problem after it happened) so I grab an old HD from the other computer that had XP on it and did a full format of XP pro. Then I copied that drive over to the SATA drive (using seagates DiscWizard)...
NewEgg AMD64 3000+
OEM (no Fan, HS) $215
Retail $236
Asus K8V Deluxe $137
Mwave
CPU $225.33
MB $139.92
Assembly/Test $9
Slightly more over all to go Mwave because of shipping, but it would come assembled and test booted.
J~
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...
Hey no problem, I was enjoying watching the discussion. Gave me something to do as I flipped through page after page of Memory deals lol.
Looks like it will be between:
Mushkin 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3500 Level One - OEM $95
Cas Latency: 2-3-3

After lurking on these boards for about a month, I've finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my p4 1.5 to an AMD64 3000+, but i've got a few questions for all the guru's on the boards. I know the subject has been beaten to death in previous threads, so i'll try to stay on subject.
