    Best Dual Processor out there for poor man

    Do you want IDE or SCSI RAID? I don't know of many manufacturers who are integrating SCSI RAID on their boards anymore. Your best bet would be to get a Mylex AccelRAID from Hypermicro. If you mean IDE RAID, why bother? I mean, this isn't an enthusiast motherboard. I'm surprised anyone even...

    Plextor UltraPlex Wide - Factory Refurbished 69.99 + S&H

    Hypermicro is very good. I've bought several SCSI peripherals from them (Plextor UltraPlex 40X, Tekram DC390U2W, Quantum Atlas 10K, assorted cables, etc). You can get free shipping if you mention a popular review site (not Anandtech).

    !!HOT!! Philips 8x4x32 CDR Only $35 from staples after coupon and Philips rebate (NO PM, NO NEED TO TALK TO REP)

    Don't count on getting that Philips rebate any time soon. My Philips rebate took months to arrive. They said 6-8 weeks, but it was more like 16 weeks.

    The future of CPU architecture: post-RISC/CISC, VLIW, or other?

    I don't really see how Intel has conquered the entire processor market. The biggest draw of the x86 is cost/performance ratio. When compared to monster workstations and servers, there's just no way you can even think about x86 systems. It's often a lot smarter to spend $1500 or $2000 per x86...

    HOT! - Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 $199.95 @ Best Buy B&M

    I can't imagine paying more than $100 for computer speakers, since I don't do much but play games on my PC. I have a stereo for playing music, and I'm not much on watching DVD movies on a tiny computer monitor. Still, those Klipsh speakers sound fantastic. Maybe some day I'll buy a used or...

    OVER Circuit City Sales Flyer 7/1 to 7/7

    TDK CD-Rs seem to work okay. I got a spindle of them from CompUSA, and, so far, only one of them gave me trouble (in a Plextor UltraPlex 40X SCSI CD-ROM). None of them have given me trouble in the CD-RW that burned them (cheap EIDE Teac 8x8x32).

    Ultimate HD for your 6400, Seagate x-15, $256!

    Guys, 7200 RPM isn't really all that slow at all. I've got several 7200 and 10K RPM SCSI hard drives (all LVD, with the exception of one), and the performance increase isn't all that easily noticeable without performing benchmarks that give you really big, inflated numbers. You need to have a...

    SCSI LVD controller and 9.1GB 10k RPM drive for $120

    A Promise controller? Hmmm. Well, I guess that's okay, but I would much rather get a Tekram or Adaptec controller. Tekram SCSI controllers are incredibly cheap (usually around $80 to $150, depending on features), but they consistently rate as high (or higher) than their Adaptec counterparts...

    Office Depot has Linksys 8 port Switch for $69

    Yeah, switches are switches, unless they cost hundreds of dollars. In that case, you get mucho high-end features that you couldn't possibly use (unless you were running an enterprise-level network). Some people say that switches are more than a home user needs, but you couldn't possibly go...

    Circuit City UNADVERTISED free after rebate (CDR &CDRW)

    I got some Pengo CD-RWs from NewEgg earlier this week, and they turned out to be made in Taiwan. Free shipping on them, too. You guys might want to check that out if you don't want to buy expensive "free" CD-RWs.

    ***!!!! Hot !!!! *** Jam P3? MP3 Player & 12 assorted color sharpie's make $2 after MIR Officedepot***

    Here's a review of the player: MacAddict, March 2001 I'd be a little wary of this thing -- not because of the MacInToy problems encountered in the article -- but because of the poor quality and iffy nature of the $30 rebate. If you don't get the $30 rebate, then you potentially have to spend...

    PC Expo @ Jacob Javits Center NYC | June 26-28

    Ehhh... the free stuff looks pretty boring. I've never gone to this show, and I guess I haven't really missed anything too exciting (IMHO). If I'm going to get all sweaty, I want something better than a bunch of t-shirts and keychains. :)

    Quad Processor Motherboard for 199...HOT!?!

    I totally agree -- do not buy this setup unless you can truthfully say that you understand everything about making a quad xeon server. If you have any doubts, then this is too complicated (and expensive). You can't just stick in four Xeon processors and go.

    KDS VS-7i (17" monitor) for about $110 delivered after rebate!

    KDS is a good company. One thing they will never do is scam you. What do you guys expect from a monitor that costs $150? It's a low end 17" monitor. Try the KDS VS-19SN if you want a sweet monitor. I've had one for two years now, and I love it to death. I bought it for $450, but it...

    Ricoh 20x / 10x / 40x Retail Kit EIDE CDRW Drive $199 delivered

    Ricoh is a very good brand. Hypermicro is an awesome store. I shop at hypermicro all the time. Lots of their stuff is IDE now, though. They used to have mountains of SCSI stuff.

    Best buy 6/10 -16 circuit city

    Why is that 300W Antec case so expensive? Does it have any features above and beyond what Best Buy lists on their web site? I bought a nice full tower server case for $80 (Inwin Q500) around 1.5 years ago. You'd expect that stuff would either get cheaper with time or else the features would...

    Creative Blaster 121032 burnproof $75 + tax at Staples B&M

    Lite-On sucks! They definitely do NOT "rock". Lite-On has had a great deal of difficulty remaining compliant with the ATAPI standard. I would definitely advise against ever buying Lite-On equipment. It is cheaply made, not guaranteed to be standardized, and usually is trashy OEM...

    Connext 300VA (180W) UPS for 19.95 after $10 instant rebate at the cash @ STAPLES

    Use it as a glorified surge protector; ie, don't use it as a UPS unless you plug your cable or DSL modem, hub/switch, and/or digital camera in it. Short answer: NO. YOU CAN'T USE THIS AS A UPS UNLESS YOU HAVE A PC RUNNING SLOWER THAN YOUR GRANDMA'S.

    Question for Christians

    Edited because I made a typo. The only problem I have with organized religion is that it encourages people to judge other people. You can't have right without wrong, as long as you believe free will exists. Without free will, of course, it's all moot, and we're characters in a novel. I think...

    How to get girls to like you as more than "just a friend"??

    "two days later, I violated her" Hahaha. That has got to be the funniest thing I've read in a week. It sounds like most of you are between the ages of 14 and 19. Most guys in that age range think that girls only date jerks, nice guys finish last, etc. Thing is, you've got no self...

    The Commodore 64 Rules!!

    I can't believe other people remember Jumpman, Temple of Apshai, M.U.L.E. (Dan Bunten is dead now, btw - RIP), and Raid Over Moscow! Summer Games was pretty cool, too. I never could figure how to do some of those events, like cycling. Anyone remember the original Test Drive, by Accolade?

    Want a real sword for $26 bucks?

    Guys, you can't buy a decent sword so cheap. There are reputable dealers out there, but you generally need to spend hundreds of dollars to get something long, powerful, and of high quality. I would suggest the Renaissance Fair. Sometimes you can get a good blade for $200 or so.

    PNY 128MB PC133 SDRAM $15.95 After MIR $20 @ Staples (Infineon Chips)

    Staples policy has always been to take into consideration the price of their rebate when price matching. It's stated quite clearly on their web page, too. If you can get someone to price match to buy.com, and then apply a rebate offer, you made out like a bandit. If you can get them to do...

    Maxtor 15GB 5400 RPM + Iomega CD >> only $24.98 Shipped (After coupon and rebate)

    Guys, "shipped" means "price before the rebates". If you have a $5000 can of Coca Cola from Cyberrebate and a $5000 rebate, that does not mean the can of Coke is $0 shipped. Don't say it's $25 shipped if you have to pay $100 up front, then wait two months for $75 in rebates.

    Guys: Have you noticed that girls 18-21 are hard to impress?

    If you want to impress a chick in college, hang out in a computer lab. Most people in college are still computer illiterate, even today. Help her once and she'll be appreciative. Help her twice and she'll probably want to get to know you better (as a friend or potentially more). Use what you...

    Voodoo 3 video cards on sale at OD.

    Well, lots of us aren't going to get in on this. I haven't seen a Voodoo card in months. However, if someone in the Indianapolis, Cincinnati, or Louisville area can point out a store with some PCI Voodoo cards on clearance, that'd be great. I'd hate to drive for an hour just to see a couple...

    *HOT!* $20 rebate on a $40 winning bid from uBid.com

    I don't much like uBid. They spammed me to death when I went to their web page and signed up for a user account. I finally got them to stop sending it to me, but it left a rather bad taste in my mouth. They never had any deals, either.

    Hot Deal!?! Black mid-tower heavy duty ATX case $35

    A power supply is rated for the maximum power (in watts) it can output. A cheap power supply might be rated for a maximum of 300W, but in reality output more like 250W average. On the other hand, a really good 275W power supply might output 275W almost all of the time. In this example, the...

    CompUSA Anniversary Sale...EVERYTHING 10% off

    I might get excited over a 50% off sale at CompUSA, but I'm not so sure that 10% is worth even going to the store... In my area, at least, CompUSA charges more than list price. For example, if a video card lists at $149.99 at the manufacturer's web site, then CompUSA will sell it for $150.00 +...

    OLD SEARS "free appliance" thread - ignore this one and post in new thread!

    I can't believe people are ganging up on someone who wanted to have his warranty actually honored. If my monitor dies after a year of use (it did), and it has a 3 year "no questions asked" warranty (it did), then I would certainly expect the monitor to be replaced for free (it was)...
