Steam - Metro 2033 66% off Today (10/27)

If the developers from STALKER worked on this game, then I will pass (actually, just insert the STALKER name instead of Metro 2033, and the review is still accurate). While I bought and beat the first two, the games were unstable and horribly frustrating many times throughout. One game crash...

AR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver

Good deal. Unfortunately, I live in Kalifornia, and cannot take advantage of this deal, at least not directly. Seeing more and more of this lately-off list lowers (OLL) can be sold in CA with no problem, and there is a large market here for them, but most companies just say "screw it" and...

Download speed suffereing-router, or throttling?

Hmmm. I just find it odd that an HTTP request would have such an impact on downloading. I expect their to be some, but I found that a little extreme. I will see about taking the router out of the equation later on to see if there is a difference with and without it. I am probably just...

Looking for programs that let you send text messages to cell phones

I do not know of any programs, but why don't you try the service provider's site? I know that sprint and verizon offer web based applications, and I imagine everyone else does too. Then your fiancee can message you back to your email address. Google "providers name", text or sms. -Redfoot

Looking at UPS's

Twinpeaksr, I am willing to bet that your Compaq is probably a rebranded APC Smart UPS 3000. Unfortunately, the UPS's of that size normally require pretty large fans to cool the inverters, batteries, etc. And the weight will not likely lower either, again due to the batteries (where are our...

Replacement fan for Gigabyte 6600GT

Fuji FinePix E510 5.2 MegaPixel Digital Camera $139.99 AR

I bought my mom the 4.1MP version.... The view finder on my Canon A510 was way brighter and clearer, and I did not like the lens guard, felt plastic and cheap to me. However..... It has been a great performer for her, easy to use, and takes good pics. Good find for those in the market!
