    Zacate - Did I just not do my homework?

    I think a base E-350 is supposed to idle at like 15 watts or so. My C-50 netbook claims 9W or something like that. So, about half the power consumption of an i3, and less entry cost.

    Will our hobby die?

    Desktop CPUs are still way ahead of laptop CPUs. I have a i7 quad laptop and it's fantastic, I do almost everything on it. But, I can't install 16Gb RAM nor have a 2500/2600 CPU. I'm even going to take a gaming hiatus for a while, but still upgrading my desktop because I really want to and...

    BF3 @ Newegg $48 - 8/20 Only

    Interesting that they already have an expansion pack before the game is even released... sounds like a good deal, though!

    AR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver

    1. My buddy has an Oly lower that works perfectly, and I've never seen his rifle fail (but I do think as a rifle they are of lesser quality). I stated "if it is in spec". If it is not, the manufacturer should make it right. I bought a lower quite some time ago from a local mfr, and I had...

    AR-15 Stripped Lower Receiver

    First of all, when you assemble a new lower yourself, before you make it into a firearm and before you take it out to test fire, function test it! It will be readily apparent if the trigger group does not operate as designed. You don't need ammo or a completed AR to test the FCG. Watch a...

    When is DVI going to die out?

    Most of the machines at work still have VGA, and use them. My work laptop docking station has one VGA and one DVI connector--to use two monitors, I have to use the VGA connector. My fairly new Dell laptop has only a VGA connector (about a year old)--and I disappoint myself for buying cheap junk.

    Now Dead - 5/28/09, nikon d200 body at bestbuy $650 limited b&m

    Nikon makes what's supposed to be a good all-purpose 28-200 for around $750. I want to get it to replace my 28-80 and 80-200. I don't remember the model number, but it is on Amazon. It's on my list, but too many other things on the list right now. It might not be super-pro-level, but from...

    .223 Ammo & Walmart $39.95 (everyday price)

    Direct-impingement has worked fine for decades and will continue to work for decades, even if it is a bit dirty. Piston AR's have their issues and complications too, because it's adapting a system that was not meant for it. I like the Sig, more since I've seen it in person that the original...

    .223 Ammo & Walmart $39.95 (everyday price)

    Widener's reloading supplies often has really good deals (for these times, anyway) on PRVI Partisan M855 and M193. $80/200rds for M855, I recently bought 400rds but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Very good reviews, M855 is great if you have 1:7 twist rate.

    [DEAD] TrendNet 8-port GigE switch $23 FS @ NewEgg

    I have been using one for a while; got one on the last cheap go-round. It works just fine, no problems whatsoever. Never have had to reboot it. I've never bothered with jumbo frames, but transfers are better than 100mb and I don't have the need to very often.

    Visiontek Radeon X1300 XGE PCI-E 512MB DDR2 $34.99 Free Shipping

    FYI, several months ago I purchased a MSI X1300 off Newegg for $30-35 FS. Works fine for its application, but that was regular price then.

    DEAD: Dell Inspiron 530 for $239+ship (Pent E2180 + 2GB + 250GB + DVDRW)

    How dorky am I? I'm sitting here thinking, gee if I could sell my firewall, fileserver, and dev box (all pretty new) I could buy three of these (one upgraded to quad), I would get a nice upgrade for all 3 (two celerons and a C2D). Then I'd have 3 identical shiny machines, instead of the 3...

    Brute 22" Lawn Mower @ Walmart.com - $99

    So true, you get what you pay for! I think the Toro is still made in the USA and will last a long time (or is that Snapper?). I don't have a need for a mower yet (townhouse/condo), but my parents have a Deere push mower they about 15 years ago that still runs just as good as the day they...

    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    There is a combo deal for this processor and some really nice motherboards on Newegg right now. You can't use this code, but it's probably a better deal. There's a Tforce board with this chip for $99. no free shipping, but the board by itself if $80 - and shipping is like $8. There is also...

    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    But, when the E7200 is costs four times as much, there's a pretty big difference in bang for the buck ($30 vs $120 e7200). If Tom's Hardware's 2007 CPU list is correct, it appears the BE-2350 is just a little faster than the P4 EE 955. The extra couple hundred mhz on the BE-2400 means pretty...

    OEM Athlon X2 BE-2400 45w Dual Core

    How fast is this thing, how would it compare to a 955 Pressler? Slower I'm sure, but much more efficient and good enough for a file server that has a couple of small FreeBSD virtual machines for Apache and Freeradius?

    PowerEdgeTM SC440 $249

    Not only that but this is server-grade hardware (or should be). That demands a premium because it is FAR more robust than any $200 desktop kit.

    DEAL IS DEAD: Samsung ML-2851ND for $39.99 OTD @ Office Depot

    I picked one up - the store even had it on a special clearance table listed at $40. The extra cartridge was $60 - is that a good deal should I go back and get it?

    Dell, Asus or Lenovo

    Generally from my experience, I find the following: Dell is great bang for the buck, the Lenovo/IBM (and I'm talking Thinkpads, not budget Lenovo) machines are generally more costly but totally bulletproof. From new machines to the old 486 I have laying around here somewhere, you just can't...

    Comcast and torrenting still an issue?

    Just as a quick note, did you unplug your cable modem before installing the new router? The cable modem will often "hang on" to the MAC for the previous address, and they have to be unplugged for about two minutes before they can be restarted with the new equipment. Sounds to me like your...

    Intel chipsets don't support SLI but why?

    Their financial situation has nothing to do with their compatibility. As far as I know, AMD/ATI has allowed Crossfire on other chipsets well before Core2 came out.

    Samsung ML-2510 Laser Printer - 25ppm Monochrome Laser

    Yeah, you really CAN'T put a laser on a UPS - PERIOD. I don't know who comes up with that. Lasers eat a lot of power. I'm sure the unit is fine, every piece of Samsung gear I've had over the years has always been good stuffs.

    Dell Poweredge SC440 for $220 + tax shipped

    Unfortunately that's not the intent - this is a server box. Probably has an ATI Rage chip or some such, with 8MB VRAM. Still sounds like a decent deal though!

    Looking for decent photo printer

    I have a HP Photosmart D7360 that I am quite happy with. I got it on sale for $100, normally around $150 I think. There is a very similar model with the same print quality (I think just a smaller screen and such) for $100; I do not know what the model number is (D7XXX).

    3870 X2 Crossfire

    So many people jump on AMD about how much they suck this and that because in A YEAR they haven't been able to top the Core 2 architecture, or they haven't smashed down the barriers with their graphics cards (which at least the current set seems quite cost-competitive). How long did Intel reel...

    Shin-Etsu G751 $2.99 shipped for 1 gram tube

    My old job used to buy this stuff by the hundreds of tubes - maybe thousands. Always had good luck with it, never knew it was supposed to be that good. Easy stuff to work with, but don't get it on your clothes.

    Creative Zen 4gb

    I have a Zen Vision W. Completely different class of device I realize, but I have been extremely happy with it. Seriously kicks ass. If this is any testament to the other Zen devices, I would have no worries owning one.

    $75 (wuz $100) from Bank of America, Exp. 4/30/08

    So far I have not been a fan of BofA. Their politics are a bit effed up, and their policies and procedures are not particularly user-friendly. I recently tried to get a credit card through them with miles on the airline I travel all the time. I filled the app and stuff, but had to do some...

    OCZ or G Skill?

    Thanks for the replies all. I ordered a set of the GSkill for my media box, but I'll probably just keep the OCZ for my main rig. With an unlocked multi, I'm not convinced I need more headroom, anyway. The chip runs fine at 266x12, I would think I can get 3.4-3.5 without exceeding DDR800...

    OCZ or G Skill?

    Thanks for the replies! I think you're right, I'll keep the OCZ. I might still pick up a set of the GSkill though. I have a media PC I want to build, which I can split a set of value RAM or get new stuff. I want to use it to play race car games (build a seat and stuff).

    OCZ or G Skill?

    I just picked up 8GB of some OCZ from Fry's on their rebate deal, but now Newegg has that pretty good deal for GSkill. I've had one set of OCZ, and one set of GSkill. Both worked, but the GSkill was certified overclocker (and ran well). GSkill also has the lower voltage (IIRC). I could use...

    Made my choice

    I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, just an observation. I do think sometimes the UAC seems excessive, but it's better than nothing (and it should improve). It's a bit of a paradox. People scream "make Windows more secure like UNIX!" When they do, everyone screams "Microsoft sucks I...

    Made my choice

    I find it interesting that people complain about the security prompts from UAC, yet find UNIX's more intrusive password-required security prompts to be somehow much more acceptable. Huh?? Isn't it easier to click a single button than to enter a password, particularly if you practice good...
