RE: Acoustic Research Bankruptcy...
All of the Recoton sites were down this morning and I figured they were related.
Appearently AR and the rest of the Recoton Audio assets were sold yesterday to Audiovox.
See: Twice.com Article
I guess that is a good sign relative to getting things fixed...
You should be aware that Recoton, the parent company of Acoustic Research and Jensen, went out of business last month. The web sites are down, and they are trying to sell their remaining assets. This could well effect your ability to get these fixed should they break, and cheap subs tend to...
From the Toshiba site... Here is the power consumption of the 5400 rpm drive:
Logic +5V(±5%)
Start 5.0watts (max)
Seeking 2.9watts (typ)
Reading/Writing 2.5watts (typ)
Idle 1.05watts (typ)
Standby 0.25watts (typ)
Sleep 0.1watts (typ)
Here are the specs of one of their current 40 gig 4200...
Ericlp, I think your dislike of Sony may have skewed your views a bit on the SACD issue.
"Doesn't SACD support 6.1? Another waste of money... 2 me the average Joe isn't going to be buying 6 speakers. I don't even have the floor space for 4. I guess this will never end as long as these rich...
If you read the specifications on the page, the Cmos sensor is 2.0 megapixels (1600x1200) not 3.3, so 3.3 is an interpolated resolution, not real. If you search under the model number you will find a site Tiwan with a 2 megapixel model that looks just like this.
Not a good deal. In a digital...
This appears to be a great deal if you are looking for this kind of thing, which I was. Computers4Sure sells it for $138 plus $15.00 shipping, and another outlet has it on sale for $99 regularly "$200". Mine came to $46 including ground shipping. I'm on the Geeks mail list and they have...
Appearantly there is a "V" series Epia board at 1000 mhz, not just the M series. Directron has a picture of it and a much more detailed description here:
V1000A
That said, it is missing all of the cool stuff of the M series (which Axion sells for $167 like everyone else) like mpeg playback...
Another little FIC system that is just as good a deal, and a better choice if you want more expandibility and horsepower is the Crusader CS-VC35. At $139 shipped it is ready for a pentium 4 and has the benefit of an AGP slot and firewire. Here is the link:

It'll be a bit bigger and...
Great Deals on Great Books, While your at it add "Life Legends: The Century's Most Unforgettable Faces" here: Life Legends for $5.98 for Lifes view of the centuries most famous folk. Regularly $28.
Mr. Bass, this excellent price on supposedly 4x media seems very odd. So far as I can tell none of the major disc mfg are shipping 4x media yet. Why would a generic disk be first, and at a budget price.
My 2x player recorder will only record 2x on media that has been tested by Pioneer, and...
Buy.com seems to be out, but Computers4Sure has them for $19.95 after rebate with free shipping (and no print server) HERE and if you need more ports they have the 4 port for $40 after rebate . Here
This appears to be exactly the same as the Planar 1904Z (1904ADU) Monitor that Dell has been selling so cheap except that the Sceptre has a one year warranty and the Planar a 3 year. My guess is that it is from the same asian factory but with different importers (Dell sells the Sceptre as well...
I used the 20 off $50 coupon in the store, but no price match, and was rejected. I have E-mailed express group for and explanation, but wonder if others found the same thing. The Box had 4 UPC codes on it, did they want all of them??
Both DVI and analog cables come in the box. Just change your resolution to 1280x1024 and hit the "Auto Adjust" button and your ready to go. I neglected to change the resolution initially and was very dissapointed. LCDs only really look right at one resolution, though they do not care much what...
OK, I ordered one of these planning on adding a second processor and have no idea what a VRM is or why I need one.
Help please. What is it and where can I get it cheap?
RE: 120 gig SE 8meg cache drive.
I just got one of the SE drives In Colorado, where the manager assured me the rebate, which is definitely for the not speacial BBRTL, would still be honored on the JBRTL SE. Their price on the non-SE version is 279.99 not 269.99 so the SE is for sure the one...
This drive comes with some easy and effective harddrive backup software built into the drive. It is quite slow for regular use as a harddrive, but excellet for backup. Just leave it over night, and your system is backed up the next morning.
It is also great for transferring files between 2...
Do NOT send these folks your money or credit card information. According to this site it would be a major mistake:

It is amazing how all logic can fly out the window when people think they have spotted a way to beat the system. In this case its not the studios who are being taken...
The 32X Cendyne picked up this morning in Minnesota was Lite-On. Said right on it. All numerical serial number.
I exchanged the 24x Acer I got earlier in the week on line with the discount, so I paid $10 more and will get back $10 less.
I was not able to get the Acer to work on my...
Here is an alternative I can recommend to the 2 IR remotes above, a deal on a wireless trackball which will be better for some apps.
The Trackman/Surfman live : Just Deals for $40 plus shipping uses Radio Frequencies instead of light so you do not have to point it in ANY direction. Even...
The OEM 3500 with no TV functions does exist. Here is an article from 1999 describing it. http://pc.ign.com/news/8821.html . It is real confusing, but it's obviously more 3dfx's fault than anyone else, and we can't do much to them right now.
DevineOB, I think the point was that anyone purchasing this shirt should realize that it is distributed by people who DO have an agenda and that in sending them money you are supporting that view.
This would be obvious if it was a Gay Pride t-shirt. Some people who buy the straight pride...
Ohbehave,Thanks for the update, looks like a new model 380 is coming too. Note, as Ohbehave said these models do NOT HAVE Video CD capabilities. If you want that stick with the 311.
I think Chexi makes a very good point. Not everyone uses a rack (thats why the rack mounts are removable). Just because you buy something does not mean you have to like everything about it. My guess is the easiest way to solve the jack problem would be just to put power cord plugs on both the...
I wonder what the "X" stands for in the model number. A search did not come up with a match for that. The geeks seldom make model number mistakes, but often buy special OEM versions of products with different features than the national product. Anyone know what the X is ?
This is a very good weekend for Cruising Office Depoters (Cods?) in Minn. as the ODs are just finishing inventory, so a lot of the close out stuff they had lost or hidden away was brought out this morning. You really gotta search, but I got:
Samsonite Worldproof Laptop...
Tominator, I think you and buffboy are comparing apples to oranges. It can be objectively proven both that DVDs can provide noticably more accurate output than S-VHS, and that most Wegas provide a closer to the original broadcast picture than a 32 inch JVC. I would be very surprized if even JVC...
