Quality 4U Rackmount $89 after instant Rebate

I have this case and it is a decent basic rack mount case. Lots of space for drives, you can easily fit 8-10 hard drives plus an optical or two. You could squeeze in 2-4 more HDD depending. The included fans are very loud, but move A LOT of air. Nice build and easy to work inside. The...

Logitech Harmony 676 remote $75 shipped AR or lower

If you use a system, such as a cable box, that uses page up/down buttons the best Harmony to get is the 676. It has A & B buttons that work well for this. For other modles you need to use the LCD buttons which not in the best position for page up/down.

Corsair Value RAM PC3200 CAS2.5 1GB (2x512MB) DC KIT - Today's Price $76.50

I'm waiting too. When the thread started I said to myself that I would only buy if it dropped below $80/GB. Only 21 cents to go! Every PC in the house has 512MB already so I don't really need it. ;) Thanks BadThad for amintaining the OP.

Corsair Value RAM PC3200 CAS2.5 1GB (2x512MB) DC KIT - Today's Price $76.50

My prediction is that it will dip below $80/GB before going back up. Recently DRAM chip prices have dropped significantly and we are now seeing the results. How long it will last is anyones call.

Canon Powershot A60 Factory Renewed $99

I picked up one of these when OD had the deal on them. It is a nice inexpensive camera. It has enough bells and wistles to make it a decent starter and/or casual camera. Works very well for taking pictures to post on a web site, items you are selling on eBay, etc.

New PS2 system - $99.99

Sorry for the delay in reporting back. I stopped by last night and they had about 80-100 of them out. Basic PS2 with one controler. Limit one per customer. I was in a hurry so I couldn't pick up any extras. Also all vidoe game software is 25% off, although their selection is only so-so.

Replay TV 80 Hour for $300 at Costco($250 AMIR)

Not sure how hot this is, but I noticed last night that Costco had 80 hour Replay TV 5080 boxes for $299.99 plus a $50 mail in rebate. The rebate is good through 3/31/2003. Seems to be a decent price. Note you still have to pay the service activation fee, $250 lifetime or $9.95 per month.

Some of the older Barricade routers also had a serial port for a modem and parallel port for a printer. These newer ones don't have these two ports. They are decent routers however.

80GB HD ...................$99 at CompUSA

Do Case Fan Actually Bring Down CPU Temp??

All the article says is that a can of water was used to approximate human sink for testing purposes, which is a little more humane then using real live people. The important thing to realize about windchill is that it is meant to be a representation of perceived temperature and the effect it...

Regarding wind chill, it has no effect on cooling you CPU. Wind chill is an attempt to describe the combined effect of low temperature and wind speed on the human body, not a hunk of silicon, metal, plastic, and ceramic. Check out http://www.atd.ucar.edu/homes/rilling/windchill.html for more...

Final Fantasy Tickets (Part Deux)

Saw it in Chicago last night. The theater was about 3/4 full. It was a 'normal' multi-plex theater, so I would say there were about 150-200 people there. Two rows were set aside for 'VIPs', but only a handful showed up. The movie was okay. Not great, not bad. The CGI is definitely cutting...

Enlite 7237 - is it OK for new AMD 1000 Thunderbird?

It really depends on what else you are going to put into the box. For video editing I assume you will have one or more large capacity hard drive(s), plus a video capture board. These will all add to the power requirements. I would plan on upgrading the power supply just to be safe. You can try...

If you are a CostCo member try using their ATM's. I have been to three different stores and none of them have charged a fee to use their ATM. This is probably because they don't take most credit cards.
