Circuit City Price Matching - UPDATE: Got it!

I done it before and they said they can do it, HOWEVER, they will match their price PLUS over night shipping charge. Since you can have the product on the spot, the manager said under the situation, it's only fair when you match the price with overnight shipping. Although I don't get...

WIDESCREEN + TITANIUM + INTEGRATED EVDO LENOVO THINKPAD!!!!!

I like piano black finish > traditional tar black finish > titanium. IBM did make a piano black finish X series notebook, but that was a limited model though.

YACT, how does the coolant flow fromt he overflow back into the radiator?

I believe the car's head gasket is blown. The exhaust gas enters into cooling system and force the coolant out of the system.

Is Best Buy bs'n me about my car amplifier?

I believe they are telling the truth. From my understanding, Bose system has the amp mounted with the speaker, so there is no actual "amp" to replace. If you decide to swtich the system, you would have to change the deck and get some adaptor to work with the bose system.

My dad had his brakes replaced yeasterday...did he get OWNED?

Dealer probably replaced all 4 rotors, 4 brake pads, and brake fluid which result in $600 in parts. However, there is probably no need to replace any of that. It might get fixed by riding on brake with moderate force to clean off the rotor.

Cooler Master Praetorian

It's pretty easy to remove the mesh grill in front. The grill is held by 4 tiny screws on the side. You will need a small philip head screw driver with magnetic tip to uninstall and install the screws though.

Weird car anti-freeze question YACT

If you mix the normal green stuff with those "long life red stuff" coolant together, they will form tar inside the cooling system and block those tiny water passage inside the engine. Eventually you might experience overheating. I would do a really good coolant flash and clean everything out ASAP.

Best CPU Heatsink?

Normally I dont have problem with TT's product, unfortunately, they have a tendency to copy everybody's products at sell at a slightly lower cost. Quality and performance wise, I can't really say too much since I am not a TT product player, but I did had some poor experience with it.

best website to purchase airline tickets?

Look up at expedia.com for the cheapest flight and find out which airline is the cheapest. Then go directly to that particular airline's website and buy directly from the airline. You will end up with same cost minus the expedia's handling charge.

How difficult is replacing an O2 Sensor ?

After market O2 parts are about $75 each at online parts store. I imagine price will be close to double if you buy them at the local dealers. Since your mechanics only charge $65 to install it, why not purchase the part online and have the mechanic install it? This would save you the...
