Nice list. I have spent the most time *by far* on Gran Turismo 3. With #4 coming up I am considering a steering wheel. Anyone have experience and can recommend a good one?

PV-256T PCI TV Tuner/MPEG-2 hardware encoder

my concern with these cards after reading many reviews is the issue of audio syncing. After many minutes, the audio can get behind on a lot of the cheaper capture cards. This is the primary reason I bought the Canopus ADVC100 (~$250) and it works just fine...

!DEAD?Dimension 2400 2.2ghz, 128MB, 40Gb, DVD &, CD-RW 2nd bay, $300 maybe $200 @ Dell Home w/free shipping@ Dell Home

I'm hoping I can add a DVD+/-R drive and another hard drive. Anyone know for sure if I can do this? If not, can I at least swap hard drives and still add the DVD+/-R drive? EDIT: Thank you ECartman, post below.

The Yes/No argument on 2 rebates is MUCH larger at f@tw@llet where the thread is over 80 pages now. I would say the "YES" replies from the D3ll CSR's slightly edge out the "NO" CSR's. Mine has shipped with no notification from D3ll that both rebates are not valid, and both still show up...

Blazzing hot WD 160G for $21.90 YMMV

I tried a few weeks ago. Bought it online, went in for store pickup, showed her the Sam's price. She looked up something on the computer, said this price is below their cost, so she can't do it. I pointed at the price match policy on the wall, and she said not in this case. I asked for a...

VHS to DVD...What is my problem??? Look inside help if possible

I am looking to do the same thing, and so far my leading candidate for purchase is the Canopus ADVC1394. One of its claims to fame is that the audio is always matched up. It runs $250 retail, maybe you can find it a little cheaper. I was tempted to get this leadtek card, but after your post I...

Halliburton Wins Iraq Contract

ABCNEWS has obtained a copy of a 99-page contract worth $600 million. This is less than 1% of the cost of the war. Pretty cheap. The USAID contract is filled with details about plans to construct Iraqi schools, airports, roads, bridges, hospitals, power plants and more. This sounds like good...

Right, you gotta push the button so you have the little flower picture on the bottom. This is Macro mode. You need to use macro mode if you are closer than a few feet. It will focus only up to about 6 or 8 inches away though, so maybe you are too close to the watch. My rule of thumb...
