    Online Savings Accounts -- Emigrant Direct and HSBC at 5.05%

    Just because a company has Shanghai in the name does not make them shady. Freaking xenophobes. The company is British anyway.

    Moto RAZR $99.00 shipped from Cingular, NO CONTRACT!

    My RAZR started crapping out after having it for about a year. 90% of my phone calls take place through static ranging from mildly annoying to white noise so loud that conversation is impossible. 3 months after that, I started getting errors with the battery meter (half the time it says it's...

    XP Pro & Office 2003 Standard bundle: $149 shipped

    I've been using the same OEM copy of XP since 2001, the system is on its 3rd mobo/CPU, 4th vid card, 2nd hard drive, and has had a good amount of other hardware added/removed over that time. The only limit on OEM is that it has to be sold with hardware. The definition of hardware varies by the...

    Eating at Ikea?!? - They serve meals for $0.99 and up!

    If IKEA didn't serve food there'd be bodies littered among the particleboard. Last time I was there I got lost a good 5 times and ended up being there almost 8 hours. That said it's a great place to buy furniture if you move around a lot (college and the following few years). All the stuff...

    HSBC interest rate to 4.80% in response to ING

    HSBC is a British bank, not a Chinese bank. They've been around forever and have a ton of branches in NY. I've had a checking account there for 5 years now since they had a branch right in my school, opening up the online savings account was a snap since I already had online banking set up there.

    Egyptian Cotton 1000 Thread Count Sheet Set was $499.00 sale price $169.00

    Be careful buying bedding online.. it can look a lot more comfortable than what you actually receive, not to mention colors can be distorted if you're looking at comforters, duvet, colored sheets, etc. That said it's a decent price for a sheet set if it's 2-ply.

    GM Employee Discount for everyone Now Extended till 10/1!!!!

    Pats, that price does not include tax. It's possible my dealer is trying to add on the transportation & prep fees twice, but that's the only discrepency between that quick guide WDEagle posted, and what I've been shown.

    GM Employee Discount for everyone Now Extended till 10/1!!!!

    Cash rebates stack with GM pricing. Saab 9-2X Aero gets about $1600 off for GM pricing, and another $6k off in cash rebates. Dealer did the math right in front of me and took off the rebate without me even saying a word.

    Quick question..

    Thanks. I think I'll pick up a new one just in case. This system fried about a year ago and I didn't have the capabilities to test whether the PSU, mobo, or CPU was at fault. I figure as long as I'm replacing the last two, I may as well throw in a new PSU just to save myself some potential...

    Quick question..

    I'm about to order components to upgrade to Socket 939, PCIe gfx, and SATA. I have an old Antec 1040SX case with 400W power supply that I bought about 3.5 years ago. Do I need to buy a new PSU or are the power connectors still the same? If so, what should I be looking for in the new PSU?
