iPhone 5S order and shipping thread

Order completed 3:08AM ET for 32GB Space Grey model from att.com. Confirmation E-mail says shipping date is Oct 21-30. Did a chat with an online rep about an hour ago who told me the shipping date is 21 To 28 business days due to the 32GB version not being available per Apple. He said they...

NAS: How are you using your Network Attached Storage device?

Good point about the spanning, I guess I will run it as RAID for photo storage and backup for my laptops. I like the suggestion to swap out the drives for bigger ones too, as I can certainly find other uses for the 500GB drives that came with it. I already had a bad experience with one of...

NAS: How are you using your Network Attached Storage device?

I picked up an HP MediaVault MV5140 cheap during HP's rebate promotion, and now I'm trying to decide the best way to use it. This unit has 2x500GB hard drives that can be configured as RAID 1 or spanned to provide 1TB total storage space. I'm leaning towards either using it in spanned mode...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I'm sure this has been discussed at length elsewhere but can you describe how this is best accomplished? What hardware / software is best, and what is the procedure?

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I still haven't seen any follow-up to this, but that CMO M240J1 panel appears to be the same one used in the ViewSonic VX2435WM, which is one of the monitors on the "recommended" list at the top of this thread, priced around $600 and up. It would be interesting to know how the SVA and the...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

People who bought this over in the SD forum seem to be giving high praise to this monitor, except for some transformer buzz for one or two people. Did anyone here buy one and if so, what do you think? I don't play games, so suitability for amateur-level photo editing would be the most...

Dell 1905FP uses different panels... - Online inventory here -

I got Samsung V1.7, Rev A01, made in China. It arrived with the color balance way out of spec - all the presets looked more-or-less blue, including the "red" preset. I was able to input a "user" setting with good color but I RMA'ed it anyway because I wanted one that was properly calibrated...

Intel 2200 vs Dell 1350 - which WiFi chipset is better?

Don't you need to get the Intel card instead of the Dell card in order to get the Centrino sticker on your machine (assuming the chipset and Pentium-M CPU are already Centrino compliant)?

Staples Super Slim Notebook, Athlon Xp, 256 DDR, 40 GB HD, DVD/CDRW 799.94 AR

I'm happy with mine, I take it with me all the time in cases where I would have left my bigger HP notebook at home. There's a support forum at www.averatecforums.com. Is this in a printed Staples flier or ad? I bought mine at Microcenter and I'm looking for a BVG. (Edit - never mind, the...

Wrong forum, please delete.

305,000 km (190,000 miles) '91 Mustang 5.0 LX I've had it for 10 years, the original paint looks great, it still runs like new, doen't even burn a drop of oil. Can't beat that for a 13-yr old car!

PLANAR PX171M-BK 17-inch Multimedia LCD Monitor (Lukewarm)

Ha, ha, they sent me the black instead of silver version I ordered during the "oopsie" sale, and I ended up getting a free A940 All-In-One as compensation after I complained. :D

Brand new Athlon notebook at Fry's for $499.95

That's because Outpost sucks, they never offer any of Fry's good sales. That's the main reason I rarely shop there.

Satellite TV Equipment Free or $50 w/TIVO DirecTV

That sounds like grounds to cancel your Dish without penalty since it would be breach of contract, wouldn't it? (Not getting the channels agreed to in your contract). Then again, I'm not a lawyer so don't take my word for it.

Not Hot: AMEX to discontinue 'Private Payments' on Apr 15

I think you're either oversimplifying the solution or you don't understand the nature of this board. Many of the deals here involve merchants that fall into this category. The Private Payments numbers provided an extra level of security when jumping on those deals. And it's not always...
