    Dell fraud

    I also had a bad experience with Dell in which they put the wrong parts in a computer I ordered (5400RPM HD instead of a 7200RPM one, the wrong video card, etc.) It literally took me two weeks of 2+ hours on the phone each day to get someone who was willing to do anything. I finally tracked...

    What do i need to ship parts safely?

    Buy some new parts, install them in your machine, and use the bags that came with them? But on a serious note, a quick search on eBay for "anti-static bag" brought up over a hundred results. You might be able to find a good deal on some there. Aside from anti-static bags, some good...

    when will newegg have an eVGA 7900GT?

    I got one from last week. It showed as "Auto-Notify," but could actually be added to the shopping cart and ordered. It's coming today.

    Do printers that use cheap ink exist anymore?

    I would get either a black and white laser or a low-cost color laser. I don't know why some people think they are inappropriate for home use. Other than being larger than inkjets, there is nothing any longer that would tie them specifically to a business environment. They have a very low...

    Do NIC's just up and die?

    Out of probably two dozen, I've only ever had one NIC die, and that was some ancient no-name model that I picked up free at a local repair shop. It is possible for any component to just "die," of course, but before jumping to that conclusion, I would recommened trying the card again in...

    need all the white to be black in this pic pixle by pixle

    While I agree that all logos should be vector, that isn't the main problem with this request. The main issue is the JPEG artifacts. Anyone know if ImageShack compresses further? The OP claims not to have a less-compressed version, but I'm wondering if it is really ImageShack's fault that...

    First Build- with PICS!

    I should have said, "It likely won't handle Oblivion, etc. that well with all the eye candy turned on, but it should be fine for most FPS games, etc." I still think that the RAM could stand an upgrade and that the CPU is a bit slow for a gaming system. However, as I said, given the OP's...

    UPS Question

    I gave them a call, and thought I would post back with what they said for the sake of others. After the tracking shows "DESTINATION SCAN COMPLETE" you can call their 800 number (1-800-PICK-UPS) and they will put the package aside for you to pick up. Thanks for the input! Edit: As a...

    First Build- with PICS!

    I think you did fairly well considering your budget. It isn't (as I'm sure you know) the fastest system on the block. It should be fine for some light gaming. If there are two components I would have done more with, it would be the CPU and the RAM. 2GB of RAM is pretty much the minimum...

    UPS Question

    I'm talking about the delivery company we all have a love-hate relationship with. Love because they bring us new stuff, and hate because they don't bring it fast / well enough. ;) Does anyone know if it is possible to pick up a package at their office before they try and deliver it? I...

    How does this look?

    I can't cancel it. But I did decide to splurge and order a 7900GT. The 7600GT can go in another machine. If needed, I can always continue using my current PSU, which has worked fine for the last two years despite being a no-name that came with a warranty card entirely written in Chinese. :-)

    Toshiba's new P105 "Gaming" laptop: 17", 7900GS, T2400, under 2k

    I've just ordered one of these, and I will check back when it arrives with a mini-review and some benchmarks. From looking at the specs alone, the two things I'm not so keen on: Lower resolution display than many competing models. Only 1440x900. 4200RPM HD However, it seems that, for...

    How can I get past 127 GB on a Macintosh? OS/x

    My PowerMac G4 uses standard IDE drives. Depending on the model, there may be a max size limit of around 130GB, but again, depending on the model, this can be bypassed with a firmware update. The native OS X filesystem is HFS+, a journaled variant of HFS, the same filesystem Macs have been...

    Playing PS2 on my PC Monitor/Speakers

    I have a little cheap dongle that connects to the PS2's output connector and converts in into VGA and red/white audio connectors. It only works with a few games that output native VGA, though.

    Which upgrade would give me the best boost for Doom 3?

    Get a 2500+ Barton: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=19-103-379&DEPA=1 And overclock to 3200+ speeds. Get a 6800GT: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-130-203&depa=1 That's a $500 upgrade. The video card can go into any new machine...

    I ordered my 6800GT and it came the next day. Of course, I paid for rush processing and overnight shipping. Express Saver usually shows up one day before the date shown on the FedEx tracking page. Usually two days, but sometimes three. I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that Express...

    Looking to buy a set of 7.1 speakers...

    Yeah, I'm glad to hear I made the right choice. $500 for speakers + $200 for a sound card was kind of pushing it; I got these for $320 from Newegg and I can add the extra two channels whenever I have the cash.

    Looking to buy a set of 7.1 speakers...

    Thanks everyone. I ended up going with the Creative GigaWorks 5.1 set because it can be upgraded to 7.1 by purchasing their upgrade kit if I want to have 7.1 later.

    A Question About FarCry's Advanced Visual Options

    Your processor and RAM are what is holding you back. Celerons are the WORST processors ever invented. My 733 Duron was faster for games than my 1.3 Celeron by a few FPS if I recall correctly. The RAM speed also makes quite a big difference in gaming. The speed of the RAM determines how fast...

    It has one DVI port and one DVI to VGA adapter. It also has a nice S-Vidio cable. I just got mine from the FedEx guy. :)

    Ordered the 6800GT from newegg

    I ordered the same card yesterday with overnight shipping. Should be here in a few hours. I'll be sure to post some benchmarks from my A64 3200+ system (with 333mhz RAM - damn you chaintech).

    eVGA 6800 GT

    I've been reading some of the other threads here and it would seem that the BFG 6800 GT is actually a re-branded reference card. I was wondering if the eVGA 6800 GT is also an nVidia reference card or not? I just ordered one from Newegg yesterday (it's coming today! :)) and I was just curious...

    Buy a Dell, go to Hell! :P "Award-winning service and support" means waiting on hold for forty minutes just so you can talk to someone in India you can't even understand who just reads from a script.

    Looking to build a server...

    I'm already running a dedicated server at my current host; they provide no support for it. All security, etc. is my responsiblity as it is now. I already have quite a good deal on a server: $99 a month for Pentium 4 3.0, 1GB RAM, 120GB HD, and 500GB of bandwidth a month. Where it kills me is...
