The AnandTech Introduction Thread: Get To Know Your Peers

Hi - I'm Brandon, and live in the same neck of the woods as Anand (his town was just voted the #1 town to live in in the US). I'm the techie at my office, even though I work in finance. I will admit I am more of a reader than a forum guy (referring to the original post). A lot of the...

Blinking green power LED + no boot

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have a similar problem - new build. Will go back to ASUS, but thought the HW gurus might have a thought. HTPC: ASUS M2N68-AM2 Plus Processor = AMD X3445 (on the compatibility list) Video = ASUS AMD 5450 fanless (no power cable needed) SATA Optical...

Sweet deal on Thinkpad T60

To "CW42" I think there is a utility that will remap keys - at least their used to be one that was downloadable from ibm.com (Lenovo's website is still hosted by IBM). http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid MIGR-44185 The thing I hate about the T60...

Free : Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2

There is one MAJOR thing that I don't like about Office 12 (or whatever they will call it!) If you have a menu in VBA that adds after File/Edit/View, etc - it won't function in the new version of Excel! I have an application that has 60 menu choices on 3 pulldowns, and I have to tell my...

Thinkpad T, A, X, R series Port Replicator

also works with a T30 (2366), R40 (2681-2682, 2683) - and X31 (2672) as well. Will not work with T40, X40, tablet, or R50, or any of the Rxxe models - they have no connector, or it is in a different place. Note: DVI support should work with any non-integrated graphics card (or so I have...

NOT HOT: Dell ends free shipping starting Oct 10

all I have to say is that we should be getting a reduction in the price of either the product or the shipping/handling charge. If Dell is going to save money, and get us to deal with this silly policy (I haven't seen Gateway, HP, or IBM do it), then they need to pass the savings on to us...

BenQ 16x Dual Layer DVD Writer $48.70

VONAGE for 24.99 Unlimited Plan

HOT DEAL! Wireless "Super G" Turbo Router $29.99 AR Tigerdirect

if you have a LASER printer, OfficeMax has a pack of 250 sheets of laser paper (normally $7.99) free after a $4.99 rebate ($3 IR). This is 32#, 98 brightness paper so I hope that it will like one of the 3 ink jets I have; if not, I will fire up my laser printer

Most of the same prices listed above are available in Phoenix as well. It will be a tough withdrawal in 4 weeks - no more Fry's (good for my wallet). SATA will be priced more reasonably - 2 years from now, you'll wonder what that big fat PATA cable is,

Google to offer free email with 1GB storage

Roxio Easy CD/DVD creator 6 15.00 shipped...

Full retail was on sale at Fry's for $49-$20 Upg MIR = $29, so when the price drops like that (without the usual $10,000 in additional rebates), my guess is that Roxio 7 is just about to come out.

Curious about the Olympus C5050 Camera - normally $699 but down to $549. I just want to make sure that (a) there are no catches, and (b) there isn't a C6050 coming out next week. Anyone seen anything on this one?
