    Netbook HDD Question

    It is not difficult to swap in an SSD drive. They come in the same form factor of a regular notebook hard drive. You just have to go through the same hassle as you would with replacing any hard disk, which for a new notebook means installing the OS, drivers and software. corkyg said it a bit...

    Wrappable power adapter for HP laptops

    Thanks corkyg. At least your laptop came with a bag for the cables! All mine came with were flimsy twisty-ties. Ah well. I'll make my own velcro straps using these strips I got a the dollar store (10 for $1 - can't beat that). They are loops all on one side of the strip with a small area of...

    Wrappable power adapter for HP laptops

    Does anyone know of an HP-branded or third-party power adaptor for HP laptops that allows you to wrap the cords around the actual power brick with some sort of clap to then keep the cables in place? I just bought an HP tx2z to replace my old Dell 700m, and the Dell came with a power brick which...

    Time to move on from ATA/PCI? (Updated with pics)

    I'd like to see them drop the PS/2 ports. Maybe make an even smaller form factor than mini ITX with a smaller backplate but can take one or two expansion cards.

    Hows this budget board?

    If you are dead set on AMD, then look at the 790GX series. I am considering the DFI one because it is also uATX. Of course, it costs $150, which is a bit steep. Otherwise, I'd look at the reviews of the 790GX boards.

    MS Office 2007 Ultimate for $60 (students only)

    In order to get to the page where you can order, all you need is access to a .edu email account at a verified school. You do not even need direct access; if your school provides free email forwarding for life, you can still get to that order page. However, in the terms, the following is...

    Great Mother's Day Deal at Proflowers

    I can understand the anger at consumer holidays, but I don't see it as a big deal in this case. I just go to the local Mom n' Pop florist, pick out a nice bouquet, and give it to mom. When I was a kid, they would always give me a few extra flowers (i.e. $35 would net me a ~$45-50 bouquet). And...

    1920x1200 Displays at Newegg for cheap; Westinghouse P-MVA = $370 after ship AR.

    I think he is referring to http://www.newegg.com/Product/...+1309821328&name=24%22. I was considering the 24" Westinghouse until I keep reading about people getting a dead pixel here or there. Newegg's dead pixel policy sucks.

    Quick internet disconnects.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but the problem is probably coming from your computer, not the modem. If everything is working on the other computer in your network, that means that the problem is downstream of the router. It is possible that you bought a second faulty cable, so what I would do is...

    If your motherboard is less than a year old, it might be covered by the warranty. Just RMA the sucker.

    Crashes, can't seem to figure out what's wrong

    I doubt that it is RAM since problems with RAM should come up during safe mode as well. You should prevent your computer from restarting after a BSOD. 1. Right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties" 2. Under the "Advanced" tab, click on the "Settings" button in the "Startup and...

    Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800 PC2-6400 $59.99 AR

    Thank God I waited. I was about to buy the RAM yesterday, thinking prices wouldn't go any lower for a while. Thanks very much for the code (they are now allowed!). Code doesn't work for me. "This promo code you entered is only available for specific programs." Hopefully this works for others.

    Canon PIXMA MP600 All-in-One Photo Printer for $154 shipped

    I'm not sure about the MP530, but the MP810 has a better scanner and includes a slide and negative scanner. Other than that, it seems that the two are identical.

    Playstation 3 (PS3) 60GB $494.95 Shipped from BulkGadgets AC

    I realize that this is a little after the fact (see previous page), but you guys are retarded. You were trying to make fun of RyanVM, who if you knew anything about slipstreaming Windows XP (which every computer geek should), you would have heard of his update packs. http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/...

    Sceptre 42" LCD TV $1399+ship/tax

    Link? Bestbuy.com shows it as being $1350. I believe that TV was going for $1000 on Black Friday, so I find it hard to believe they are selling it for even less now. In either case, the W4207 isn't 1080p like the Sceptre is. Costco.com is selling the Sceptre for $1500 right now. There was a $200...

    Playstation 3 (PS3) 60GB $494.95 Shipped from BulkGadgets AC

    Guys, this deal is obviously fake. If it was true, this company would be selling the PS3s at a loss. Just let this thread die. Sorry for anyone who fell for it.

    PANASONIC TH42PD60U 42" Plasma Television --$999.00 +S/H

    Does this only happen when the entire image is static, or does it also move around network logos used in broadcast television (i.e. the ESPN logos, etc)? For instance, one reason plasmas aren't advised for hookup to computers is that it is possible to run movie programs where the overall image...

    PANASONIC TH42PD60U 42" Plasma Television --$999.00 +S/H

    It isn't right. Burn-in is still a problem. If you display a static image on a plasma for long periods of time, those phosphors will wear out at a faster rate than the rest on the TV and you will notice. Not sure where XNice got the idea that burn-in is no longer a problem.

    The "Old-school ultraportable laptop refurbishment" thread.

    Firstly, I'm not assuming that this is a "high-powered work machine." I have no idea where you got that. Quite the opposite; YOU WANT ABIWORD/GNUMERIC RATHER THAN OPENOFFICE/KOFFICE! Abiword is a word processor. Gnumeric is a spreadsheet. Both are lightweight. Secondly, you don't want DSL as...

    The "Old-school ultraportable laptop refurbishment" thread.

    Keep in mind, Damn Small Linux cripples some of its programs to get it that small. It also uses either a different compiler or some weird flags for gcc. I'd shy away from it if your laptop can handle it. On the other hand, I did used to dual-boot with DSL because it can load entirely into RAM...

    The "Old-school ultraportable laptop refurbishment" thread.

    I hope you don't end up being penny-wise, pound-foolish. Exotic laptop parts aren't cheap. I had an old thinkpad whose motherboard crapped out. A new motherboard would have cost $100 off ebay and a new battery another $100. The performace I would have gotten out of the computer did not justify...

    How to do a clean OS install on a Dell Latitude Notebook

    I have seen a similar problem. Sometimes, the MBR gets f'd up and the windows CDs refuse to load. Options: 1. Slipstream yourself a new cd with SP2. This will kill 2 birds with 1 stone: you don't have to do windows updates, and sometimes the slipstreamed CDs work. 2. Create rescue floppies (if...

    Dell XPS M1210 - Any good? Is it really a portable mediahub?

    Sorry, I misread your post (I saw desktop replacement and nothing else). Coupons periodically pop up if you go to dealnews or some site like that. How long would you have to wait? I'd guess 2 months at the most, but I'm not gonna guarantee it. Frequently you can get $750 off $2000, and that is...

    Dell XPS M1210 - Any good? Is it really a portable mediahub?

    This is not a desktop replacement. I'm typing from an Inspiron 700m, which is about the same size as this model (I can't say for certain, but I actually think that this is the successor to the 7x0m line). Many find the keyboard to be cramped. I am used to it, but I still find my desktop's...

    400W PS Free after $25 Rebate at outpost.com

    There are no guarantees. Here is one review. There are others floating around. I bought this PSU and it is powering an old Sempron system without trouble. I'm not sure if I would trust it with new components that draw a lot of power, but it should tide you over until a good deal comes around on...

    I need a video card recommendation

    If you are going to hook it up to a TV, I would recommend getting something like Windows XP MCE or MythTV. Check which tuner is compatible with those. Then, see what kind of output you need to your TV. If you can use VGA/DVI, do that. Otherwise, you should get a card with S-video out. If your TV...

    Ultra 400W V-series PSU FAR w/ free shipping ($25 rebate)

    Techgage liked it. Motherboards.org looked at a case that came with the power supply, and while it fluctuated under a large load, it looks like it would be fine for a low-end system. I'm in. I have a few low-end systems and never know when one of the power supplies will die.
