Everquest II Deal Thread

This is Blizzard people. Expect to see WoW in stores sometime in 2005. Heck, they can't even figure out when the open beta will start LOL. On the positive side, it'll be worth the wait. Doug

ATi TV Wonder Pro (Remote Wonder Edition) $49.99 AR *Warm-Hot*

I think we're going to see some prices dropping on these cards given that Hauppage is about to release the PVR 150 and PVR 150MCE. These cards will go for around $65 to $80 or so and will have hardware encoding identical to its big brother, the PVR 250, which has retailed for about $125. The...

HELP!! my computer died (details inside)

Yeah, I swapped out my Fortron 300W for a Antec True Power 300W. Same problem...Maybe I should buy one of those p/s testers for $10 or so just to make sure. Doug

Ok, everthing was running fine last night. Got up to use the bathroom, came back, and screen was dark. Thought it was screen saver, but got no response from using keyboard/mouse. So I turned off the computer, let it sit a few minutes, then restarted. NO POST (no beeps anyway). Power...

It's been said before, but I'll reiterate: don't put much faith in response times stated by the manufacturer as there is no universal testing methodology in place. You're much better off inspecting the screen in person or reading about others' first hand experiences. Doug

DEAD - HOT - It's back again - Dell 1800FP at SB for $382 + tax

I have the 1800FP. If you have analog that's fine, but DVI is very nice (no need to mess with settings). Forget what the specs say--I've noticed no ghosting in games (1st person shooter or otherwise). Text is razor sharp using DVI, which is good, because Clear Type does not work well with...

Refi your Wells Fargo mortgage, no closing costs

I will reiterate: do yourself a favor and shop mortgage brokers before you do the deal. Wells Fargo is charging .25% or more above the going rates, so I'd hardly call it a "no cost" refi. Call around and tell them what Wells Fargo is offering you and I can almost guarantee someone will beat...

Refi your Wells Fargo mortgage, no closing costs

Wells Fargo deal is YMMV, and kinda lukewarm. They are charging at least .25% above what you can get from a mortgage broker (that adds up over the life of the loan). Numerous people have reported being unable to get in on the truly no cost refi deal. If nothing else do yourself a favor and...

Thanks for the heads up on Froogle. Perhaps one way to handle the lack of a "sort by price" option is to hunt on pricegrabber first, find the lowest price, then head over to Froogle and put a price limitation on the search. Of course, you run into the problem of no shipping cost calculations...
