    UPS or Fedex for a computer to Canadaland?

    UPS is REALLY bad as they charge really high custom fees to Canadians. Best one is probably USPS for us Canadians, otherwise go the fedex route (dont really know their custom charges though)

    Hp DV6000t VS. Dell E1505

    I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 (Canadian equiv. of the E1505)... and I love it so far. 1gb RAM, T7200, 120gb HDD, X1400. My only gripes are the plastic LCD lid and the loud dvd drive. If you get the Intel Proset wireless card, make sure to remove their software but keep the drivers as the intel...

    What the West Needs to Know About Islam.

    That is pretty ironic, but Indonesia is probably the same as Saudi Arabia in regards to stupidity. In Islam, you dont become an orphan "because of the will of Allah". If you see any orphans or anyone who is in poverty/hungry, it is almost mandatory that you help them and feed them. Also, all...

    Deciding Between 2 Laptops Choices

    1) Gaming isn't necessary. If the second laptop will last me longer then I am ok with that. 2) Will be doing some photoshopping though. Would integrated gfx be ok for that or would I need the x1400.

    Laptop LCD Resolution

    Hi. I am getting the Inspiron 6400 (Canadian version of the E1505) soon. The laptop comes with 15.4" WXGA (1280x800) display. For the 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) display, is it an extra $125. I will mostly be doing school work (word processing, research), internet browsing, maybe a little...

    What would you buy with $190?

    19" widescreen isn't worth it due to the low vertical (1440x990).

    Differences in Intel Chipsets

    So the 965 is newer then 975? Thought the higher the number... the newer/better the product. For the mobos, I am just gonna wait till Conroe and buy them together. Right now I am just researching stuff. Damn though, coming from AMD/nForce to Intel is very confusing....

    Differences in Intel Chipsets

    Hi. I am looking at the Conroes vs the AM2s and have decided that Conroe will fit me better. However, I haven't been really following Intel and their stuff. Now, what is the difference between the 965X and the 975X chipsets? Which one is better/newer? Pros and cons? Thanks for helping me out.

    How to buy 1000's of computers / parts for 1000's of computers???

    The best thing would be to probably contact the manufacturer of a specific part you want directly, they would surely give you a decent discount if you are going to buy a 1000 parts

    NEW BUGET GAMING RIG

    If you are going to heavily overclock, check out some of the DFI mobos. No or mild overclocking > ASUS > A8N-E should do you nicely. About the case, why not choose the Antec Sonata II to save some money? It comes with a pretty decent power supply (450w with decent amps) and should be able to...

    recommnd me a cheap mp3 player

    Sandisk E-130 (512mb) , or E140 (1gb) I have the E-130 and its absolutely great. 2 AAA batteries power it for upto 17 hours and it has FM too. I also like the earphones that came with the mp3 player, you can change their size and stuff.
