4gb CF 133x $25

Consider what kind of data you're accessing. If it's a big chunk of binary data--like a level map--then what you want is a Raptor, or more than one Raptor in RAID 0. If you want fast, random access to lots of little chunks of data--like a web server wants--than this could be an interesting...

Got my 340. No PSU. Did anyone's 340 come WITH a PSU?

Intel e8400 and ecs motherboard $219

Retail or OEM? Most of the time Fry's combos are retail, but it would be nice to know for certain.

CoolerMaster cases for less than retail

Just got off the phone with Customer Service and got the same story re: PayPal bugs. (They DID say that they have since changed the way they process PayPal orders.) In an enormous display of goodwill-building, the CSR had me hold the line while he generated a UPS tracking number to guarantee...

Rosewill pci-e SATA controller $0 After Rebate, $5 shipping

I was actually wondering that. Thank you. Penetrating the forums to get answers like that is an intensive task, and the HCL is rarely updated.

New Pioneer 5.1 System $89 shipped with google checkout!!

Tell me about it. I held out on buying an HDTV for a long while because I knew I wouldn't be able to hang with SDTV broadcasts once I did. (I was right, but now you can get most broadcast stations over the air in HDTV, w00t!) I didn't mean to foist my personal standards on anyone; I just...

New Pioneer 5.1 System $89 shipped with google checkout!!

Noise ratings from other products: Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 THD <= 1% Pioneer VSX-517-K THD = 1% Sony STRDG510 THD < 1% Note that the receivers/speaker sets that have subwoofers have a separate THD rating that is much higher (7% for the Klipsch). The OP Pioneer system was 10%. It's OK for...

New Pioneer 5.1 System $89 shipped with google checkout!!

Yikes, the sound quality of this is not so good. A key specification for all audio equipment is Total Harmonic Distortion, or THD. It's measured as a precentage. As you might imagine, it indicates the amount of noise?sounds that AREN'T your music/movie soundtrack/game/etc.?introduced into...

Seagate 160GB SATA II for 49.99 + FREE Shipping

I was just as confused. I don't think there is a 160GB 7200.10 model -- it's not on Seagate's product page -- maybe the results in Froogle are wrong? The product numbers that come up after searching for "7200.10 160" all are for the 7200.9, not the 7200.10. Anyway, hot deal; perfect for a...

metroid prime 2 19.99 at EB

W00t, thanks guys! I'm going to try CC first, then EB if y'all have already bought them all. :) Outside Super Smash Bros., I maintain that the best games for each Nintendo console have been the Metroid titles. That's a fierce opinion, I know, but it's exactly that. All I know is that my...

Uh, if by "bugs" you mean "other players acting stupidly." Last I checked, that's not a fault in the program . . . .
