3 Dreamcast games for $9.99

A few weeks ago, I was able to dial in to my ISP and get online with PSO. I'm sure that it is still functioning. You can only play with other DC owners though, not with people on gamecubes etc.

Lexar 128mb Memory Stick $12.01 AR @ Buy.com

So, I'm an idiot. I ordered one of these sticks a few weeks ago, got it....and promptly threw away the little clamshell without thinking. Since this rebate only needs a copy of the UPC, does anyone have a scan of it? PM me please! It would be a HUGE help.

Dell UltraSharp 1800FP...good or not?

I'm running a 1800FP alongside a decent 19" CRT. My observations: -The 1800FP looks MUCH better with a DVI connection. Pixels are much crisper. -Text looks much sharper and better than on the CRT. -For some reason, ClearType makes everything look horrible. -The contrast is not nearly as...

~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread -- Updated 3-12-03 ~~~~

This is about the $50 + $30 rebates on Western Digital 120G SE drives at Outpost.com back at the beginning of December. Outpost instructed me to mail both forms and the UPC to the address of the $50 rebate. I just got the check yesterday. However, Young America had nothing on my $30 rebate...

Dell Home - Planar PX171M 16Ms refresh LCD $512 Exp 2/13

Has anyone been able to stack the $30 off with another coupon? I have a $100 off $400, and when I apply both, the $30 one drops off. This looks like a neat monitor, but I'm a little concerned about the viewing angle (140 deg H/V), and a line in a PCWorld review that said something about crappy...

Hey, it looks like this drive is back in stock now. Still should be about $150ish after coupons. Sorely tempted...maybe I'll wait for them to drop another $50...

You want them, i got them. CircuitCity 11/29!!

I just got my Apex SP271 home. So far, excellent. Good picture quality, and the sound is not only stereo, but "surround". There are 2 extra side-firing speakers as well as the 2 on the front. I only listened to the sound for a minute, because I run my sound through an external amp and...

Firewire drive "delayed write failed"

I'm having a total puzzler of a problem here. I have a Smartdisk Firelite portable external 1394 hard drive that is giving me errors. I can plug the drive in and access it fine, until I try to copy any large files off of it. Anything above 5 mb, it brings up the "copying files..." dialog, then...

Errors copying large files to a Firewire drive under Win XP

I'm having an annoying problem with an external firewire drive under windows XP. Many times, when I try to copy a large file (< 150Mb) from the drive to the computer or vice versa, the transfer will proceed along for a few seconds, then appear to stall out. Windows will report an error along...

SCSI 80-pin vs. SCSI 68-pin

80 pin ( also known as SCA) drives are designed to be hot-swapped. The extra pins are for hot swap support and power. You can get 68->80 adapters that will work without introducing any signal or other problems. However, they will cost at least $25-50. For home stuff, try to stick to 68 pin...

Laserjet Problems

I've had the same problem with an old Laserjet 4L. I'd say that it isn't as much the low toner as the old image drum. Replacing the cartridge solved the problem. I say go for it.

Archos Jukebox Recorder 20 for $180.95

No, that isn't a typo. The 20g recorder has USB 2.0 support. Even at 1.1 speeds, it is quite useful (it takes songs only a second or two to transfer) Good price, and with Rockbox, it is an awesome player.

Warm: Mirror 17" Flat Panel LCD Monitor $429.99 at costco

The model # is M17A. I searched around, and it appears to have a 30/15 rise/fall time. So, 45ms total; probably not too hot. Still a sweet price for a 17" LCD

Cool power supply tester

GetReal is right here. Computer power supplies are switching power supplies. Unlike linear ones, they need to have a load attached, or they may not function properly. What you would probably see is either an extremely high ouput, or a very low one. Of course, I've also heard that newer...
