Staples B&M: Yamaha 20x10x40 "Lightspeed" burner $59.50, no MIR or pricematch

Well I own the 2100EZ 16x Yamaha, and I have NEVER burned a coaster. And I am prone to marathon burning sessions of 200 discs or more in succession. My buddies will bring over their CD wallets and I'll copy every disk in there. I'll be burning from when I get up, till late (at least 3am) and...

Needs 19" FD Trinitron Monitor...

Also to clarify, these aren't the refurbs you see at the computer shows, that are just tested, off lease or used monitors. They are new, and are straight from the KDS factory and are sealed and taped from them until you open the box. And KDS does warrant them, just not as long because at that...

Well the online merchant vs. brick and mortar debate is ongoing and applies to every product not just monitors. But the savings are huge and at this level of savings I think it's worth it. And if my experience is any help, the one we got was better adjusted and setup than the vast majority I've...

Better method to view games on a NTSC monitor

I've also got to chime in and say go with the newer ATI cards. Also you can use a tweaker program to unlock even more resolutions. You can set the res to an ungodly amount of resolutions with these.

Needs 19" FD Trinitron Monitor...

It is factory recertified from the KDS factory. It is sealed and boxed from them. This means it is also warranteed from KDS as well. Tiger doesn't have anything to do with the warranty. The warranty from KDS is 90 days on the recertified monitors. These are also the monitors that they send out...

Hot deal for a SMC 4 Port Broadband Router?

The SMC and the D-Link are made by the same company. The SMC has the print server function, but the D-link is built stronger. Both are great units. You can't go wrong with either.

ROUTER DEAL -- *NEW* D-Link 804 DSL/Cable Router for $46 after MIR (new deal -- not Best Buy or Circuit City)

What's with the 32 users statement on the website? I just bought the 704(and love it!) and it says it supports 253. What gives? Is it lower funcioning in certain ways? I do prefer the 704 because of the metal casing(not plastic). But the 804 wins big points for having all cables in back.
