    Logitech M557 Bluetooth Mouse (Dark Gray) for $22 + FS @Best Buy

    Still not bad at $29.99. I have one of these that I bought for $40ish as I needed one right away. I alternate between it and a MS Sculpt Comfort mouse. The MS mouse is more comfortable for my hands and rarely drops a connection but goes through batteries quite frequently. The Logitech...

    Intel X25-M G2 160GB SATA2 SSD refurb $57.99 @ NEwegg

    Ditto. I have two G2's still going strong as daily drivers from 2009 and just retired my G1 about a year ago and still have a 520 in my other machine. The G3/320 is a bit slower in theory, right?

    Crucial MX100 released - now $100/256gb, $200/512gb FS at TD through 6/5!

    Agreed. That's pretty much been par for the course for several release cycles now in the SSD world. I have a feeling that these will be seeing a gradual rise in pricing and the 840 EVOs will start inching down in price.

    Recertified 100GB SSD $46

    FWIW, I've had a 40GB Vertex 2 going pretty hard in an OC'd Win 7 backup rig for nearly 2.5 years now and no issues.

    2012 Nexus 7 $139.90 at Staples

    The new Nexus7 supports MIracast (wireless display mirroring) as well as HDMI out via the microUSB SlimPort (basically an improved version of MHL). And of course, Chromecast is just icing on the cake. I would personally still get a first generation Nexus 7 over the HiSense, simply due to the...

    HP touchpad tablet $99

    I have an Iconia and a colleague has a Transformer. I think the Iconia gets a tad brighter at maximum brightness but the Asus has better viewing angles. Colors are pretty much identical between the two. I like the metal casing, better camera w/ flash (Asus has no flash), slightly better...

    $400 Insignia 42in plasma TV **dead**

    Panasonic discontinued their 32" & 37" Plasma panels years ago. I think 2007 was the last year a <42" Plasma was available (a 37" Panny). If you need 37" or below, LCD's the only way to go. There aren't even that many 37" LCDs as there used to be, sadly. I think that's pretty much the...

    11.6in (sub)notebook options?

    IIRC, the 1810T (SU7300) & TZ (SU4100) will both outlast the Core i3 & i5 1830s on battery runtime, all other things being equal. If you're looking for maximum runtime, I'd definitely get one of the 1410 or 1810 models...if you need an additional GPU & CPU boost, then the TimeLineX models...

    Steam weekend deal: Stalker bundle 75% off

    CoP was much, much better than CS. Probably not as fun as the original just due to having "been there, done that" already, but much less buggy. I'd be all over this sale if I hadn't bought all of those titles when they were new releases. Great deal.

    11.6in (sub)notebook options?

    If Bluetooth is important, there are only a handful of models available domestically that have it: -The $700 Timelinex 1830T (the $100 cheaper Core i3 version doesn't have BT) has it but as we've already mentioned, it's waaaay overpriced. The older 1810T Acer that I have is another (the...

    11.6in (sub)notebook options?

    I've also been seriously looking at the TimelineX 1830T models myself, but I just cannot help thinking they are $50 to $100 overpriced for what you get. If they had a USB 3.0 port or eSATA, a backlit keyboard, or even just better battery life, I could consider them worth the premium price...

    Have: GA-965P-DS3 rev 1.0, what CPU would you do?

    I'd vote for the Q6600 myself if finances permit. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with any of the newer Wolfdales like you mention. I have that exact same board in a backup rig and it's still working like a champ.

    Flash Player 10.1 Released!

    In case anyone was wondering about the list of supported Nvidia chipsets, here it is: http://www.nvidia.com/object/gpus_supporting_adobeflash.html Glad to see my assortment of 8-series GeForce cards are supported, even the relatively lowly 8400GS!

    office depot 3.5 inch handheld digital lcd tv $19.95

    Correct. I bought the two smaller sizes. The 7" works a tad better than the 3.5" with its built-in antenna. The 3.5" is basically useless with the built-in antenna. The 7" works much better with an exteranl antenna plugged in but that sort of negates the whole point of buying the device to...

    office depot 3.5 inch handheld digital lcd tv $19.95

    The 3.5" portable TV has no external antenna jack (the larger ones do, however) so I cannot connect another antenna to it. I am just saying, reception at my house isn't the problem---the problem is the combination of the integrated antenna + tuner on this little $20 TV.

    office depot 3.5 inch handheld digital lcd tv $19.95

    @Netopia; Like most portables, it uses the headphone wire as the antenna for FM reception. Here's my mini review: I got a 3.5" and a 7" the other day at OD. The 3.5" is pretty crappy, both in reception and build quality but it does have the nice touch of including some cheap-o earbuds...

    HOT: Hanns G 28" TN LCD 289 shipped w promo

    I didn't really mess around with font scaling or anything but I can speak from firsthand experience. I had been using a 22" 1080p monitor at work and occasionally had to zoom IE8 in to 125&#37; to read a few bits of tiny text on certain websites. I do know that I was able to go home and use my...

    Anyone in San Diego with an Alienware m11x?

    BestBuy (at least certain BBstores) carries *SOME* Alienware products. Not the full line, mind you, but they do have 'em. I was just there a few days ago and didn't see an m11x, as I was also curious about how much larger it is than a comparable CULV 11.6" machine. The BB I went in had just...

    P4 1.8G CPU needs MB for SFF case, which MB?

    Best bet is to look for a nice used microATX (maybe something Intel 865G based). As far as a new board, this is VIA-based but should be sufficient: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138174 Only one IDE port, however.

    Best ban for the buck CULV < 13"?

    Acer Aspire 1410, specifically the SU2300 models. I considered the 12" Asus CULV machines but they don't have Bluetooth available on any model in the USA, lack HDMI out, and were not in stock when I got my Acer. Acer originally launched the 1410 refresh (earlier version are single core w/...

    HOT: Hanns G 28" TN LCD 289 shipped w promo

    These are nice monitors for the price but the reviews are correct in that they have a high failure rate of <2 years of use. I bought one brand new in Nov '08 (the model that preceded this one but same panel). It performed flawlessly for almost a year then began having intermitting problems...

    Things that you DO miss from "the good ol' days".

    Yeah, the early days of E-Bay (and the various FS/FT forums including AT) were positively fantastic. I miss being able to build a decently spec'd PC that was better than what was being sold in the shops AND save some $ in the process! I also miss bundled OS restore discs that were...

    Dumb Question but Please Come In...

    Well, the AMD offerings are basically a notch slower speed-wise, a a notch better IGP-wise, a bit cheaper but run hotter & are less efficient. AMD's Congo platform has reasonable performance and decent graphics but it definitely doesn't have the power efficiency of the Intel ULV chips...

    Laptop with 8+hrs batter n backlight keyboard

    Alienware m11x. Only "netbook" or 11.6" ultraportable with a backlit keyboard that I know of. Also the only one I'm aware of with Firewire built in. And it definitely can put a hurt on the gaming capabilities of the ION & Intel GMA-based portables with its GeForce GT335M. ALso, you can...

    Dumb Question but Please Come In...

    You're going to be very surprised and possibly quite disappointed by the Atom's performance. I've suffered through 3 generations of EEE PCs and finally threw in the towel and moved a notch upmarket. Any single-core Atom will perform worse than your 5-year old Pentium M. Heck, in most...

    Cheapest WalMart desktop PC available on Oct 2008.

    Well, I seem to remember big-box retail desktop PC prices basically bottoming out at $199-ish in late 2007 thorugh 2008 before rebounding slightly last year. In fall 2008 (I think), Best Buy was blowing out some Celeron D machines (Compaq IIRC) for $199 new. They had Vista Home Basic...

    Building a PC for my parents

    Found a Microcenter reciept in a mobo box

    In June of '96 or so I got a Gateway Pentium Pro 200 with 32MB EDO RAM, 2.1GB HDD and a 4MB Matrox Millennium. That thing got me all the way through college and then some. After I figured out how to overclock it to 233Mhz, I finally maxxed it out by popping in a Voodoo 3, 128MB RAM and an...

    Dyson DC25 Blueprint ($180.00 off) + Bing Cashback

    We've had old of the older Dysons (DC17?) for 5.5 years now. Despite some VERY heavy use (using it to clean out the cars, in the garage, cleaning dog hair etc) it's never had a single issue other than the cheap plastic on one of the attachment brushes breaking. No other vaccuum cleaner I've...

    ATI Rage XL PCI Video Card $14.95 shipped...

    I distinctly remember some low-midrange Dell etc. machines coming with Rage Pro cards well into othe P4 era (before Intel got around to releasing the 845G chipset). They were pretty plentiful up through '05 or '06, especially on the secondhand market as "system pulls". It was also a pretty...

    I had an Asus EEE PC 1000HE (GMA950) previously. With it overclocked up to 1.8Ghz or so and 2GB RAM installed, it rocked in 800x600 on Q3, RTCW and UT. I have an Acer 1810T (ULV Core 2 Duo SU7300) and the 4500MHD is a big leap up from the Atom/GMA950. It's still slow but I can play nearly...

    Looking for an affordable 11-12" netbook that can play older games

    The BEST bang for the buck CULV machine was the $399.99 Acer Aspire 1410T that came out back when Win 7 launched. It had a Celeron SU2300 dual-core CPU (only 100Mhz slower with less cache than the pricier Pentium SU4100 or Core 2 Duo SU7300 CPUs), 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, N wireless, HDMI output &...

    Looking for an affordable 11-12" netbook that can play older games

    I previously had an Asus EEE PC 1000HE. Even with a heavily overclocked N280 CPU & 2GB RAM upgrade, the ancient GMA950 made gaming pretty lousy. I did manage to play a few FPS titles on it, however: Return to Castle Wolfenstein (the one from '01) ran great at 800x600 as did Quake 3 as...

    Your very own first Video Card, post here!

    The first "modern" PC I had where I can recall paying attention to what kind of dedicated graphics capabilities it had was a Gateway 486X2-66 in early '93. It had a Cirrus Logic (or perhaps Trident) 1mb VESA Local Bus card. I just remember being jazzed it could output 1024x768! Historical...

    Stuck between the Asus 1201N, Acer 1410, and Dell 11z

    I was in a similar situation about 3 months ago. I went from an Asus 1000HE to the Acer 1810T. I still miss the battery life, touchpad and keyboard of the HE. In every other aspect (wireless, screen size/res, audio output volume, build quality, & overall performance) I vastly prefer the Acer...

    Clive Barker's Jericho for PC $1.90 + Ship

    Don't forget about the older Clive Barker title, Undying. I remember playing that extensively back in 2001/2002 or so. Despite some aggravating puzzles, that was a relatively awesome, overlooked gem. It was kind of plodding at times but it has fantastic atmosphere, graphics, and level design...

    goodyear wiper blades, good ones, 7.99 Costco B&M

    I can definitey give a thumbs-up to this deal as well. I bought a pair for my VW to replace the hideously overpriced Bosch ICON blades. These may not be as good but they're very close and a fraction of the cost. I also bought a spare set for myself as well as some for my parents & the wife's...

    Panasonic 42" 720p at Sears $599.99

    Well, if BF this year is anything like last year...it won't be much to get excited about. It was pretty lame compared to BF of years past . I honestly snagged some better deals in November prior to BF than I did on BF weekend and prior to Christmas. So far, I have yet to beat some of those...

    WD 1TB My book (mac) $65

    I got the last one on the shelf (yellow box, no "green" sticker on the front). It's the 8MB cache version and unfortunately not the 32MB one. Still, for this price I cannot complain. This thing is cool, quiet, and looks great sitting on my desk. Great deal for those that got in on it!
