Ugh, out at both Birmingham AL stores (that was a waste of $3 gas!).
At the second store, the kid behind the register REALLY knew what he was doing. He went into some AS/400 DOS screen and typed in a bunch of stuff and verified that all stores in the area are out. He said he could order me...
I jumped all over this.. I ordered one when they first came out and it was worth every penny of the $300 I spent. I got one for mom and guess what? They've updated the AM reception. It now comes with an AM external loop antenna (my version had poor AM reception). I don't see anything on the...
I've always gotten my boxes for years from the "state government" liquor store (hah!)
Anyway they always have tons of boxes around and they are free for everyone to pick up. People are often doing this and it seems to be common knowledge. Much more convenient than driving (and parking!) to...
What exactly does this mean!?! If it won't power on after 2000 hours have elapsed, how can you say the bulb lasts a full 3000 hours? Do you have to leave it on constantly for the last 1000 hours?
By the way, concerning using the thing as a TV, that is the only thing I am buying it for...
$700 for a refurbished X1 when new ones are under $1000? I'm not sure that's a good deal. I am buying an X1, but I haven't decided to get new or refurbed. What happens if the bulb dies in a couple of months? Well a new bulb runs about $300 which means you are OVER the cost of a new one now...
Eh... thats great but.. why no AK79G-Max? They are only carring the "max" version that has everything *BUT* the onboard gfx? Seems odd to me. Oh well, I still dont have an IGP nforce2 board available that fits my needs :( What else is new
And anandtechs "review" was apparently...
Wow, very nice, a $20 rebate on several of the Abit nforce 2 motherboards. I was about to go for the AK79G-1394 from newegg (they don't offer the AK79G Max or MK79G-1394). Then I noticed that it does not include an interface for digital audio. In fact you must order the part separately and...
Sounds good.. I'm going to order the MSI K7NG2-ILSR on Sunday unless AT posts that review they promised a week and a half ago first :P Another thing about the MSI chipset fan--I'm happy with the onboard video for NOW, but what about a year or two when I want to replace it with an AGP gfx card...
Well I have been actively looking for these for about 6 months and never seen them below $390. Also I know of no other USA distributor that carries these (at least not online). There was a sale where they were $275, that's what piqued my interest, but I only heard about it after the fact...
I share your pain. I have been looking to upgrade ever since the nforce2 was announced (about a year ago!) and only this month have I seen some integrated nforce2 solutions. I am leaning between the EPOX and the MSI, and Anandtech is supposedly doing a review of these two sometime this week...
These speakers are reviewed here and here and origanally cost several hundred more. BuyPCDirect has a sale running through 10 March only. Manufacturer info here. I have had my eye on these for about 6 months. They really blow the doors off anything else in the sub-$1000 arena, IMHO. They...
If I am only getting an Athlon XP 1700+ (at the most 2000+) and don't plan on overclocking, do I NEED PC2700 DDR or is PC2100 sufficient? I've seen both answers.
Also how important is getting two sticks of RAM? I will be using the onboard nforce2 video.
I'm buying the rest of my system from...
Why is no one considering this board? It looks awesome to me. I am down to either the
AOpen AK79G Max $140 shipped
MSI K7N2G-ILSR $136 shipped
Both seem to have great features. I have always gone ASUS, but ASUS doesn't even have an IGP board yet for some reason!!?!? Whatever...
It's like a year later and I am STILL waiting on an nforce2 motherboard with the builtin audio and video to be available. I am at 420 mhz, this is getting ridiculous. Does anyone have any SPECIFIC models and dates they should be released??? It's strange, because I can find NO information on...
This sounds really cool to me and I have been watching this company for months and if they ever get a local # in my area I will sign up in a heartbeat. As for the 911 service someone mentioned as a problem, well if you have a phone line connected now, when you disconnect it you will still get...
I love history, but after clicking on the link my choices for software are:
Ultimate Sex Guide
Print Master 10
Home Improvement Guide
Cooking guide (may be interesting but a real books probly better)
Rand McNally Route planner (has to be better than mapquest)

Hmm.. everything after the first post is pretty much OT but this is DEFINATELY a HOT deal!! And it's about time.
BTW insurance is where the scam is and the insurance companies and our government are what caused all this mess.. Back 30 or 40 years ago there was no such thing as health...
Cables arrived and I was billed as stated. The cool thing is I was actually *undercharged* on shipping.. His cost was like $6.50 and I paid $5.50. Also got a free pair of Koss headphones for an order over $20 or something.. Very impressed!
This is the first I've heard of a pentax digital camera. Honestly, theres not a *huge* difference between film and digital imaging.. just the CCD and its supporting hardware in place of film. But at the same time I'd want to see a review before I bought one. They do make *EXCELLENT* film...
WAKE UP PEOPLE
Corporate America owns our government, and our only protection, the media, lies and distorts the truth.
I think F@twallet and others actually HELPED WalMart, so I don't understand this.
All the Democrat/Republican stuff misses the point--both parties agree on 90% of the stuff out...
Actually I read a good bit on the newsgroups and people seem to have no problem going 50, even 100 feet with s-video. The 50 ft that I ordered is one of the gold plated ones, so I'm hoping it will work just fine. I was kind of surprised b/c I'm sure that standard composite doesn't hold up well...
Man, that really stinks.. Any word on when the north bridge will be released? If its not out I can see why they went ahead and released SOMETHING to us, for those who can't afford to wait anymore.. Although I will still wait *sighs*
BOO!! :(
OK So none of these boards even have the built-in video that the nforce2 provides? How lame.. this feature can probably be enabled for a few dollars, yet no board out has it!? I guess I'm going to have to wait MORE MONTHS now, but this is really getting to be ridiculous. Also, maybe...
Hah! You've GOT to be kidding. I'm still running an AMD k6/2-400 @ 420 mhz and 128MB RAM on WIN98SE. Been waiting on this nforce2 for 6 months. I *NEED* it, not just want it!?!@@#$!
Just haven't seen a mobo worth upgrading to yet from my Asus p5a. Sure, chipset is a little different but...
Oops also wanted to say that this guy has the mattress cover things for $450/$500 for queen/king. That is CHEAP (although I haven't read all 500 messages here lately so I dont know if theres any cheaper) He's coming to the flea market in my town later this month and I may stop back by :)
FLEA MARKETS!
I went to the "largest indoor flea market in the South" in Tupelo, MS and there was a guy selling these pillows. The large ones were $40 and the tiny one was $15. As I was explaining to my gf about the Temperpedic pillows, and how these were immitation, I got closer and saw they...
Stupid buy.com.. Item is "no longer available from the manufacturer" and I can't add it to my shopping cart. With Amazon I think you can always order something, they will get more of them for you. I have found cool stuff on buy.com that I wanted to buy but didn't need immediately. I saved...
I've been looking for a decent place to buy S-video cables for the new DVD player I bought and WalMart charges like $17 for the video/audio. The Cable Shack has 6ft gold s-video + Rca audio cable for $5.50 plus ~$5 shipping. They also have a 100ft s-video cable only (no audio) for $17! I...
Concerning the Symphonic DVD/VHS combo:
It took lots of searching to discover that Symphonic is one of three brands made by FUNAI. One of the others is Emerson. If you search the funai website, you will see that they do not even list a DVD/VHS combo! If I can't view the specs, Im not gonna...
By the way, no one seems to have mentioned this, but several stores are out of these pillows. I checked links to Linen's and Things "Perfect Pillow" and I believe one by QVC and HSN (tv channels) and they were ALL SOLD OUT. The AT effect again?????
OK I finally broke down and read the whole thread. I really wish someone would summarize it and put the summary at the beginning. But anyway, just wanted to say my parents just got a Tempurpedic bed and man that thing is awesome. From reading the thread it looks to me like the Tempurpedic is...
I just called and they said they would add free nights to my current plan ($40/mo for 600 minutes + free weekends) but I had to stay a T Mobile customer for 12 more months. I was already like 3 months into my year contract, so this barely affected me and I said sure. Just gotta stay an extra 3...
