Hot??? Corel Office Wordperfect 2002 for $5 (Newegg refurbished)

They have a section titled "refurbished". It was listed there, at least until they sold out. I guess either someone returned the software, or they just wanted to get rid of it like you said.

21 inch monitor question.. possibly hot?

I was curious about this company, after seeing some of their deals, so i did a little research. After looking around a bit, I'd be more hesitant to buy from them. There's no mention of them on Reseller ratings, and after seeing some of the hassles people have had lately with companies like...

21 inch monitor question.. possibly hot?

That seems similar to a refurbished monitor I got from TeamExcess.com. It was a Sony 21 inch GDM 500ps. I paid $189.......$244 all together with shipping. The specs for that monitor look the same. Could be the same tube, on a Dell case. The monitor I got was in excellent condition, and...

Hot??? Corel Office Wordperfect 2002 for $5 (Newegg refurbished)

5 bucks, with free shipping seems like an AWSOME deal!!! Am I missing something here? I did a Google search, and I see most places selling it for over $300!!! It says OEM, and to ........., um,............ get it for a few hundred dollars discount seems pretty fishy. Either this is...

Can i hook up my Klipsch 4.1 speakers to my stereo system?

I've owned 2 sets of Klipsch Promedia speakers, but still not sure about whether you can hook them up to a stereo or not. However, your best bet would probably be to go to the Klipsch.com website. There is a forum there, and I'm sure someone will be able to answer that question there.

If you were to buy all your computer parts from one store, where would it be?

Another vote for Newegg. If you're not sure about an online store, go to "Reseller Ratings.com" and check the ratings for any store you are interested in buying from.

DEFINATELY do not buy a "slot" cpu and motherboard. They stopped making slot cpus a long time ago. If you buy a slot cpu and motherboard, you won't be able to upgrade.

Well, not quite the same chip type, but I did have that "Golden Orb" run on my "slot 1" coppermine. I've since given that processor to my girlfriend (along with video card, hard drive, memory...etc.....etc,....) and it's still being used in her computer to this day. I was very happy with it.

Please give me your opinion on my new computer!!!

It looks like you're buying some things from Newegg. If so, i would change your CDRW to a (black) Lite On 40x12x48 for $67. For 7 bucks more, you get a speed increase and also buy from a reliable brand. I'd also check on that power supply. $18 bucks is a good price, but make sure it's a brand...

Which is better AGOGA or Retail XP 1900+?

I have an AGOGA 1900....and I can't even get it to 1700 mghz without it crapping out on me. It was retail...not OEM. So, NEITHER buying retail or getting an AGOGA chip guarantees a great overclocking CPU.
