Wizard Mini-Tower ATX Case FAR @ Micro Center

This might be a repost as this deal has been going on for some time now. Did want to mention that I just put together my new system using this case and was very pleased with it. Its very solid, pretty well laid out and I didn't even cut myself. The 3.5" drive cages are fixed, but that didn't...

Verbatim DVD +R Lightscribe 10 for $4.99 at BB - big YMMV

Are there any Lightscribe drives that do the labeling at 2x or faster yet? Last lightscribe disc I burned took 4 minutes for the actually data part, but 40 minutes for the label. My Epson takes less time, and is in color. Cool technology if it were faster, but until then, I'll stick with labels.

HOT MAMA! Where To Put Your Money If It's Just Sitting In a Checking Account

The best blackfriday deals

Ahh, those were the days. A few years ago, you could easily find all the products out on the shelves and pull the return/rebuy act, but now the stores have caught on to the BF sites and usually keep their stock in the back until Wednesday night after close. The best thing you can do is go with...

Warm deal: MWave AsRock 939Dual/AMD Processor Combo Deal

Hey guys...I'm new to the whole AMD world, but this looked interesting and had a few questions: 1. Don't really need the 3800+ X2, would an older Venice chip be a good bargain? Do they OC well? 2. What type of PS should I get for this? I saw a deal for an Antec 430W. Would that pair well...

$39.93 AR/AC for Panasonic 2.4 GHz GigaRange® Extreme Spread Spectrum (SST) Cordless Phone with Caller Waiting Caller ID

I HAD 3 2.4ghz phones and took them all back due to interference with my both my 802.11 and microwave. 2 were Panasonics and one was a AT&T. Ended up getting 2 Vtech and 1 AT&T 900MHz and haven't had a problem since. The AT&T is ok, but the Vtechs are great.

RAID 5 Parity Corruption

A rather large computer company is telling me that in a RAID 5 array, if a drive fails, and is not replaced soon, parity corruption can occur. In my years of experience with RAID systems, it was my understanding that the parity information is written to each drive separately, and is used to...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a motherboard that supported P2 slot CPUs and had a keyboard power-on feature. By keyboard power-on, I mean, if the system is off, I can press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC or some other key combination, and the system will power up. I have an old P2 slot CPU laying...

lexmark c710 for $699 at sams

This is NOT that good of a printer. The c720 is much better if you want to stick with Lexmark, but if you don't need legal size documents, I'd highly reccomend getting the Tektronix(now Xerox) Phaser 850 or 860.

They'd still stop you, but with an AT scanner and printer deal, you could probably whip together a nice looking certificate that shows your vette has been converted and the bacon probably wouldn't know the difference. :cool:

P4 Help...Abit BL7 or Asus P4B?

Personally I think RDRAM is a dead technology and I refuse to buy anything that has it. Plus, if I'm hesitant about spending $20 more on a motherboard, do you really think I'd spend even more on a more expensive board and ram? Since I won't buy an RDRAM based board, my only other choice would...

Abit TH7II-RAID vs. Asus P4T-E - Help!

From what I've seen of the Intel roadmaps, I don't think the i850 or i845 chipsets will support 533MHz, and future chipsets don't show RDRAM support. You'd probably be better off getting a board that supports slower, yet cheaper, SDRAM with an i845 chipset like the Abit BL7 or Asus P4B. Or...

Does the item really have to be in stock at CompUSA to pricematch at Best Buy? I've pricematched before right at the counter. Just told the cashier that I wanted to pricematch, and she rang it up at the lower price. It was only for a DVD, but perhaps it will work again. What can I lose?
