DEAD! DEll Vostro 200 slim E4500, 2GB, w/20" wide LCD $359 free shipping!

Well, nothing special .. I just went to http://configure.us.dell.com/d...&l=en&oc=brpcsff&s=bsd and it showed up as $359 ($709 - $350). I ordered and got confirmation from Dell. Few minutes after that, the site dropped the savings to $210, though. I think by the time most people came to know...

DEAD! DEll Vostro 200 slim E4500, 2GB, w/20" wide LCD $359 free shipping!

I bought one at that price ($359 before tax and $398 after tax). Pretty sweet deal for a basic system with a C2D, 2GB RAM and a Dell 20" (E207WFP)

NAS storage that can also be used in XBOX 360

I've recently started planning on a storage which can be used to store media (Photos, music and videos) and keep backups of the two laptops that we have. Currently I have a USB2.0 disk that has all the media and the backups and it is connected to the 360. Obviously the disk is FAT32 formatted...

DasFox, My personal opinion is that answers like yours .. which try to be politically and technically correct do not help a new-comer like otispunkmeyer. For a newbie, he has been very knowledgable about what he wants to ask. He gave information about what he needs to do, and asked what distro...

Question about operating systems on laptops

If you buy a copy of XP? Then why won't you be able to install it on the laptop and get a fresh install? And even if you dont ask for a productivity software, you'll get some crap pre-installed (At least that's how Dells work)

LCD for Gaming and TV

If this is going to be the primary TV for you, then you can consider buying a monitor with RCA inputs (Like Dell 2005FPW). I connect the monitor to the cable box through RCA directly and there's no need for any other tuner / card. If you do need a tuner, consider external ones. I disagree with...

I am using the ATI TV wonder USB 2.0 and I am not very excited about it. Not so impressive PQ and setting up the drivers and stuff is a pain. Upgrading the drivers / software is a pain too

1GB DIMM + 256MB DIMM

Understanding the Pricing and Distinction Between GEFORCE 7800 & 7900 cards

Even for enabling the remote-desktop, you would need to be able to see Windows on your PC. So you'll need a video card in it (Maybe borrowed from another machine that you are going to remote from later).
