My guess is that with the initial onslaught for 1500T orders they just ran out of regular DVD-ROMs and just decided to put the DVD/CD-RW in so as not to slow production. Guess RossMan and I are unlucky to be one of the earlier adopters of the notebook since I got it the same day he did although...
Here's another stupid question: Where EXACTLY is the UPC? I only had a box where the Compaq came in and the documentation with the software in a folder and that has some numbers. I hope it's not on the Compaq box as that may be trash already.
I'm not in a hurry to get it as I already have 2 PC Cards for WiFi and one USB. I am looking forward to trying out the MultiPort however as it's an external solution (not mini-PCI) and doesn't take up the PC Card slot even though I can't think of a peripheral I would purchase for it. When I...
I received my 1500T yesterday (beat RossMan? even though he ordered before me) and I don't see any dead pixels so far. Guess I'll have to run it through that website that tests for dead pixels. Anyway, I really like the 1400x1080 (odd max resolution or something close to that) for the 15"...
I got it because gf has like a 5yr old notebook (IBM Celeron 366). I'm giving her my old one Inspiron 4100, 256MB memory, GeForce2Go, 30GB HD, 14.1" TFT. Gotta have the newer toy. Besides, just another tax writeoff for business rather than give to Uncle Sam.
RossMan,
I just ordered the EXACT same setup as you through the kiosk (including luggage). Anyway, the first time up there I got same gal that scanned in the two items and gave some kind of error message after she fiddled with some buttons. So the manager comes up and tries to enter in the...
RossMan,
I keep hearing you mention about the 1 FW but in the specs according to the Staples site it says:
Max. Expansion Slots 1 PCMCIA; 0 firewire
Am I missing something here?
Does anyone know if the ZE1201 has irDA? I checked the spec sheets and it didn't mention anything about it. I find it weird that HP of all people wouldn't have that option since they have a bunch of printers have has irDA and was a big proponent of new irDA standards. Reason I ask is that I'm...
I ordered mine from DeepDiscountDVD because at the time it was the best price I could find. Come September 3 when it was released, everything else shipped from DDD but SG Season 2 as it's on backorder. I run into this post last night and I go over to my nearest Costco to look for it. Sure...
I received one of those e-mails that it would be delayed for about a month too so I was disappointed. After reading some of these messages I decided to check my account and sure enough it showed it was shipped. Mine is in Oakland now so I should have it tomorrow.
You can get this for $60 at Fry's not sure about shipping
Neon light, side window aluminum case no PS
It does have a side window and neon light. Could be worth it for the neon light since they cost about $15-20. It does have a cheap rear fan that's like half the size of the 80mm standard ones.
Ok, I finally got a chance to swap out the server power supply again after rigging the mod for the Delta power supply. Fired it up and it's running fine for the MSI K7T Pro 2 Ver1. Don't know why the fan fired up just fine on a bare board and I had problems with a populated system. Anyway the...
This is a followup to an earlier post. I shoved that giant resistor into the aux where the orange and black wires reside. Plugged the ABIT KT7A back in with NOTHING on the board, touched the power on pins and voila fans are spinning. So it appears that it works with that board with the mod...
I picked up 3 of these and finally got around to trying one out yesterday hoping to replace it on a server of a client. I hoped that I would get back the Antec I put in there which has a P4 connector that I need at this point. When I tried it and hooked it up to an MSI K7T Pro2, I got nothing...
I ordered the Antec 830 through EMS July 28th just so I could get a decent power supply and to take advantage of the free shipping that was being offered at the time. So I figure I was going to get it very soon since they charged me tax so I figure the outfit was based in California. So then I...
When I finally opened up the drive to see under the anti-static bag, I noticed that the number 3 on the serial numbers look very similar to 8s. So I plugged in the corrected serial number and sure enough it's reporting the correct drive model number and it still has the 3-year warranty expires...
Ardy,
Thanks for the heads up. I got scared for a minute but I'm pretty sure this is the 8MB model even though I haven't opened it up yet. The MDL shows WD1200JB-75CRA0 and my seral number does start WMA8CXXXXXXX which is consistent with what Aznkid is showing. I'm pretty sure I plugged in...
I received my WD 120GB 8MB cache HD yesterday and finally got around to checking out the serial number. Mine DOES show a warranty. Mine was backordered so maybe it was the luck of the draw?
Serial No Model No Status Exp. Date

I called today to complain about the bad pixels to see if I could return it under the 30-day satisfaction guarantee policy. I figure they may offer me something in return to have me keep it. I was surprised when the return specialist just offered me another notebook in return for that one...
People fail to mention that this service has 3 different tiers. The lowest tier which is $50/mo does have 10Mbps up and down which should be a crime but you get 30GB of usage of up and down whichever is greater. I think exceeding that amount like like less than $2 per gigabyte. Then it goes...
I received my 2nd notebook from Dell overnight for free Christmas eve. I thought originally that 2nd order had the free carrying case but apparantly after reviewing my original order confirmation, it didn't have it to my surprise. Anyway, my rant now is that it I have like 3 dead pixels right...
They must've really screwed up your packaging as mine came in a nice packaged box and the actual notebook was encased in foam which is seperate from the boxes that were also enclosed. Anyway, I'm waiting for my 2nd laptop now from them as I got some additional upgrades and cost me less than $80...
Got my first order today which was the 866MHz with 10GB HD. It's still charging so I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Anyway, I was charged $1089 for that when it should've been $1099 so that was nice of them. :) So after that initial mixup of them putting it in the wrong ordering...
I received an order # e-mail today and it's not the price I had when I ordered it. I'm on the phone now waiting for support to try and get this straightened out. Just a warning... this was ordered clearly through Dell home and I shouldn't be charged tax (in California) yet they tacked on a...
I called today to check the status of the 2nd order and I find out that they shipped my first order yesterday. So I think I'll try to sell the first order one as the 2nd order I like better because it's beefier but $150 more. If I can't find a buyer, I'll return it with that 30 day warranty.
I have yet to get any kind of order #. All I've gotten was a confirmation e-mail that I placed an order and nothing. This is the second time I've tried to order the notebook too. I didn't hear anything about the first one so I assume they canceled so I reordered a different one with some more...
I went in Friday evening to Sears after hearing about the sales ending Saturday. I printed out the Radio Shack webpage and also my refunded receipt after they said they were going to get one for me but failed to do so. I went up to a newbie and he did it for the $349 price no problem. They...
Brag:
I got a $500 check from Buy.com litigation. I'm sure it's for the 19" Hitachi monitor fiasco a few years back.
Remember the SGI 1600SW deal? When they finally shipped the monitors, many people were overcharged for shipping. I complained and with some persistence, they finally gave me...
This is my first deal post so bear with me. Got the idea from looking at the HP CD-writer and HP Digital Camera thread deals posted here.

I got a 1GHz AXIA from Newegg (266FSB) and it can only do 1132 stable. If I try another other combination of trying to achieve 1.2GHz or above it won't be stable even at max voltage. This is using a FOP-38 and arctic silver. I can easily boot into Windows part way but eventually it just...
Thanks for the advice. I'll give Dell one more chance to make things right then I'm going to my cc issuer which is my local bank which gives me even more pull especially since I've been with them for about 15 years and have never disputed a charge.
I just had the 95p+ go out on me. Well it's actually working but now it has a ghosting effect and has a slight purplish tint. Needless to say it looks horrible. I tried it on another computer, tried using it with the BNC connector rather than D-SUB and same results. So I called Dell and now...
I called Colorado and was told that they didn't have any units left but should be getting more so I proceeded to ask how many is on the waiting list and was told 9 at the time. I told her I was going to try another service center first to see if anyone else had it in stock and would call back...
One note about using BNC cables with this monitor. It won't work well unless you have an .INF file for a Micron 2100EX or Samsung 1100p or 1100p+ of which there are no files to my knowledge. If you use the DSUB cable, it will be detected as a Plug and Play monitor and set the refresh rate...
