*Misprint?* ATI X800 XT AGP $249 No tax/rebates!

I have installed mine, and it seems to be working fine, so I am going to keep it avoiding a risk of 1) getting another opened one anyway or 2) ending up with a Pro. After all, it was a good deal.

*Misprint?* ATI X800 XT AGP $249 No tax/rebates!

I hope so, I just called Tiger Direct. They insisted that the product was advertised as new, and it must have been a mistake that I received a open item. They issued me an RMA, but I won't be sending it back if they are sending me back another opened one, and it seems that the odds of getting...

*Misprint?* ATI X800 XT AGP $249 No tax/rebates!

I received mine today (ordered it expecting it would be X800 Pro). First of all, I was pretty pissed off when I saw the box as the box was obviously opened previously. When I saw inside the box, the factory seal was also broken. I said f _ c k!!! Then, I looked at the card, and the label on...

Laptop Purchase

If you are going to be carrying around a lot, buy something very light w/ Pentium M, especially when you have a powerful desktop. You can get a super light one from Sharp or Fujitsu (check their online stores). I have been using different Dell laptops for the last 7 years, and I hate them...

I have got my wife a 14" iBook ($1,299 - $100 rebate w/ free hipping & no tax) upgraded to 512MB w/ $20 SODIMM I got from Newegg, and she is very happy with it. For what she does, it's perfectly fine. And she does exactly what you are planning on doing with yours. Personally, I am not too...

Staples president day sales 2/2005 - 2/21/05

Good luck w/ your BTC. It seems that they have improved their quality in the last couple of years so it may work well. I have had bad experience with my BTC 4X DVD+-R/W drive, which is now in my wife's computer (she never burns DVD). I would rather spend $20 - 30 more and buy an NEC or...

Anyone using an Antec Aria?

Some chipset fans are louder than the other. It look that Shuttle has a half way decent heatsink under the fan, so it will probably run OK even if you take the fan off. And it looks like it is very easy to take the fan on or off. It looks that Chaintech heatsink would not work well without...

Anyone using an Antec Aria?

Anyone using an Antec Aria?

Thresher, You should just try to turn on the system by shorting the power-on pins instead of using the switch. If you still have a problem, the power supply could be a problem instead of the swich module. Also, you might want to re-seat the motherbaord. You might be having a extra stand...

Anyone using an Antec Aria?

Sorry for the late feedback. First of all, my wife and I really like the case. The blue lights are a little cheesy, but it's very quiet. I used Thermalright ALX-800 heatsink w/ a 80mm Panaflo fan, and it was a perfect fit. It wasn't that difficult to put it together either.
