  1. Need a new Radio

    If you're not planning on using it for navigation, you can get a high quality DVD/CD player with bluetooth for under $200 plus installation. I got a Pioneer as above with steering wheel controls and Pioneer rearview camera...parts incl. dash kit (cost varies a lot with car model, the Camry's...
  2. Lowest total cost-of-ownership (5 year timeframe) used car for $6k or less

    I'm always amazed at people who think that having to replace any part on a car is a sign of its impending doom, or of poor manufacturing quality....perhaps it's the people who never look under the hood, the people who think they shouldn't have to...isn't that why all the cars have warning lights?
  3. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    I called Micro Center and the above PC @ 899 can be 'customized' (something not clearly stated on the website) and I can add a 2T HDD for $62.....I can add RAM later if needed and same goes for a discrete GPU...for a total of $961 + shipping.... Thanks for the suggestion to check out MC....it...
  4. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    BF is EXACTLY what I'm planning for NOW....thanks... I went back to Microcenter and looked at their gamer PCs and did find this one: http://www.microcenter.com/product/475438/G405_Desktop_Computer Again, it just about meets my "specs".....doesn't have a discrete GPU but perhaps I won't need...
  5. Lowest total cost-of-ownership (5 year timeframe) used car for $6k or less

    My 05 Camry (@ 97k miles with a new dealer-installed clutch) cost $6500 in '12.... 4.6 years/48k mile costs since incl all maintenance (oil changes, and parts/repairs: starter, alternator, mount, front stabilizers, battery, brake pads, hoses, tint and new paint on roof and hood), excl tires and...
  6. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    Sure....I live in Palm Beach County, Florida....not too far from Trump International Golf Club...and no NOT in the county jail. I thought I go to Microcenter's website and they had a $1k HP desktop that meets ALL my spec's...i7, OS10, one SSD, one HDD, discrete GP card and 16gb memory...but...
  7. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    Unfortunately, no MC anywhere near me...
  8. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    I thank you all for you ideas.... Firstly, the nice thing about going to a game-builder is that I can reverse build the machine down to "bare bones," "down-grading" parts in the customizing process from what gamers might lust for to my basic needs...I also like the idea that gamer builders...
  9. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    I've been looking at Cyberpower too...my initial build there along the above specs is under $1200...and looks good....again, thanks.
  10. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    I guess I should have been more clear...that $1k seems to be what I'd HAVE to spend to get what I thought I needed....as listed.... ...that the name-branded PCs cost a lot more for want I thought I needed, and their PCs much less than $1k got me a lot less....and so...$1k seems to be a...
  11. Low end gaming pc for photoshop?

    I'm not a builder but know enough about PCs as to what I should look for in terms of components and such... 1. PS should be more than the measly 200-300 watts found in most off-the-shelf major brands...like 400-500 2. Should have minimum 16GB 3. Should have minimum i5 4-core, though i7 quad...
  12. Does anyone here have a 2005 or similar Camry?

    Glad for ya....glad you got a reliable/honest mechanic too! Post this on Toyotanation too, will ya?
  13. Most reliable used compact SUV for the long haul

    No one's mentioned the Toyo Venza...no longer made (too similar to the Highlander) but one I always liked (being built on the Camry platform) for looks and reliability....
  14. Should I sell my car or repaint and keep?

    Paint to protect, not for looks...I HAD to paint the roof and then the hood on the Camry...went with flat black on the roof at an indie shop...$300. The hood in OEM color was done at MAACO (their best paint work) for $350....choose a shop in an upscale 'hood to get the best job. The bumper...
  15. How few miles a year do you put on your car?

    From '94 to '12 I averaged 18k (2 daily drivers taking me to 184k and 195k miles)....since '12 I'm averaging only 10k.

    THIS is the site you want: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews
  17. 100k mile maintenance

    Time as well as miles takes a toll on parts....check and replace if not done in the last couple of years. ...anything "rubber" (hoses, belts, bushings, mounts, gaskets) should be checked and replaced as needed... ...a good cleaning of the throttle body would be good. ...spark plugs (have a...
  18. Aftermarket rear and side view cameras

    Pioneer ND-BC8: installed in my 05 Camry....no "traffic lines" makes for an uncluttered view....good coverage and bright at night.
  19. Anyone bought anything decent this year then?

    Every year the Camry gets a $500-600 "refresh"... .....this year: Video/Radio/Bluetooth/Rear Camera unit brings it nicely into the 21st century....refreshes the car for another 5 years. The Pioneer camera is very nice at night, and the mic is very high sound quality.

  22. Cost of stereo installation these days

    Yes, MW....and is why I chose an indie shop that sold Pioneer and had experience with Camrys...

  24. Do you take pride in your car?

    Yes.... Each year I set some funds aside to "upgrade" something and keep the Camry "fresh"....wheels, paint, electronics...not all at once, just one item a year... It's an "investment in pride," in items that go beyond maintenance to improve the machine and add to its longevity. It's a...
  25. $813 to fix a scrape on the rear bumper

    Yeah, well, I did look at different shops, including one at a dealer, and was not impressed by their appearance.... I shop around for such work, and recommend that others do the same...hence my posts....again, glad you're satisfied with the work you got done.
  26. $813 to fix a scrape on the rear bumper

    So you do understand it's the franchise not the corporation that determines the result. ...in my case they removed the grill and windshield washer spray jets, and at my request removed the pinstripes...all were replaced properly afterwards.... I did say, and it bears repeating, that some...
  27. $813 to fix a scrape on the rear bumper

    No....I didn't say "good for Maaco'.....I said it was good, not perfect....the color match is perfect but there are a couple specks of dust under the finish. The Camry will find enough flying debris to chip the hood soon enough (it's in its DNA :( ) that paying big bucks for perfection that...
  28. $813 to fix a scrape on the rear bumper

    Glad you're satisfied with your effort... I must say that people have all commented that I should be happy with the results I got from Maaco....time will tell though...
  29. $813 to fix a scrape on the rear bumper

    Have it done by MAACO....you're not going to own it 3 years from now, are ya? I had MAACO do my front hood and they did a great job blending it to the curve of the fenders to the pinstripe line....looks great...not perfect but At the time I asked about my bumpers and they said they'd charge me...
  30. Soap Effect

    Coming from a photographer who only went digital 10 years ago..... I just found this thread and want to say that the FILM effect is one reason I'm still watching my DLP-TV....every 3 years it gets a new bulb and as long as that works I'm in heaven.

  32. Buy this pre-made or build for double the $$$?

    Odd but the MB spec's at 8gb RAM capacity....8gb max????
  33. Is this amount of paint / clear coat fade normal for 10 years?

    Last year (year 9) Kitacam's desert-sand-mica fading roof got a black toupe/repaint, and yesterday the chipped and fading hood got a repaint...excellent color match (whew!)....good I hope for 5 years...for some reason the trunk lid is still fine...
  34. AutoZone oil clearance under way...

    .....bought 16qts 5w-30 Pennz Ultra Platinum (3 OCs)....and a couple of qts of 0w-40 to top off on extended highway runs... $2 each Many other brands/flavors also available @ $2/qt even if not tagged at $2, so bring a quart to the counter and ask for a scan....
  35. Photoshop: 5yr old PC enuf?

    Yeah, I wondered too....I specifically went with 1.35v memory when I upgraded, as that was the rating of the four OEM 2gb sticks they replaced...and spec'd by HP...and surprised, yes...Crucial had said that 1.5v memory was spec'd for the mb...so doubtful, I don't know... I'm just reading the...

  37. Photoshop: 5yr old PC enuf?

    Heat is why I downloaded CPUID to monitor operations...sofarsogood as far as heat goes...and I was surprised to see the voltage @ 1.67 bumping the clock to 26 regularly with no heat issues anywhere...and the fans still purring along nicely.
  38. Photoshop: 5yr old PC enuf?

    Thanks Ron....nice to know other 860s are still "on the road" and running strong. My concern was for it "legs" and how much I can depend on the components to remain stable as they age....as well as the increased performance... With the new components I'll have a while to see whether they hold...
  39. Photoshop: 5yr old PC enuf?

    So after 5 years I upgraded memory to 16gb from 8 and added a 1TB HDD to the two 500gb drives (all 7200rpm)....with two 32gb scratch disks on drives other than OS... The PC runs ultra quiet and cool...no complaints there...old photoshop programs load in 4sec. as does the newest addition of...
