Worth buying HSF I don't want to get 1 year warranty on OEM 1700+ from TCWO?

CPUs never die? Right! I've got a 6 month old Duron 1 GHz. Sunday morning I woke up and there was nothing on my monitor. I rebooted and when the resolution changed once Windows booted, I got a bunch of wacky characters all over the screen. I formatted and reinstalled Windows and got an...

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

<< One question: Why do you feel the need to write the guy who you purchased this from and rant to him? What's that going to accomplish? Save all of your ranting for Dell. Trust me, they deserve it. >> He sold it to me claiming there were "no problems". I didn't have a chance to use the...

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

I take that back. I just opened the thing up myself and the fan header is NOT on a daughter card as the first guy stated. It's on the motherboard. So I needed a motherboard anyway to fix the fan problem. Now it seems I've had two bad boards in a row. One with a bad fan header and one with a...

A letter to someone I bought a laptop from on eBay.....

Sigh... The new motherboard I didn't need has a USB port with an intermittent connection. Probably a bad solder on the board. :( I WAN'T MY OLD MOTHERBOARD BACK!!! At least it was "proven". A bad situation has only gotten worse. I've fired off a nasty-gram to Dell. :|

Murpheeee: Eh... What the heck. the guy said it was in mint condition. It was. The CPU fan didn't work, but my guess is that the guy never ran it for more than 2 hours. Hell only broke loose AFTER I tried to get it fixed. :P One of the reasons I bought the thing is because it was still...

Well, FYI.... You don't have to get the $9 fan for the 1 year warranty. ANY fan purchased from TCWO (I always use the Cooler Master... overkill for a Duron 900, but hey!) and I have the one year warranty. Definitely take THAT into consideration when compared to Newegg's offer of "After 7 days...

Yep... Go to Pricewatch to get their "phone order only" loss leader prices. They're not on the website. Buy the modem too... I think at those loss leader prices (CPU and freight) they need it! ;)

Awesome Techno Song

Well... "Move" is the name of a phychidelic British group from the late 60's. Spin offs of said group are Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. Could it be Hiroshi Fujiwara's Sweet Vibrations? Only thing I could think of with that name that would be considered "techno".

If the difference comes down to price between Dell and Gateway, then I still don't see where Dell beats out Gateway. For a comparable system, neither really had a significant price advantage over the other. As far as who's going to last... Dell is pretty strong. They've been stronger, longer...
