HOT if you're looking for a guitar

Looking for memory card reader recommendations

Although I didn't get any recommendations here, I did quite a bit of research and decided to avoid the dirt-cheap readers and get the NZXT Aperture M. Search for "AA-APMU3-B1" on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KEPWMY Although it includes a USB 3.0 port, the reader slots are...

ASUS M32CD Desktop (Core i5, 8GB, 1TB, Windows 10) for $409.99 + FS @Amazon

I picked one up for my sister last week when it was $20 more expensive. I think this is a great deal. One caveat: the ram is DDR3.

Looking for memory card reader recommendations

I want an internal memory card reader for a case with only 5.25" bays. Looking at Newegg, none of the card readers really stand out as any good. Many of them have quite a few reviews indicating a high failure rate. Anyone here have good experiences with one recently? Previously posted to...

Looking to source new build entirely from B&M - Microcenter, Fry's

Thanks for taking the time to price this. I have been lurking here for a long while, and this really is a great forum. Can you talk about your choice for both the motherboard and the video card? I'm wondering why those stand out to you for this particular build.

Looking for recommendations for dual monitors

I would be open to any size at 24+ inches. The double-wide monitors are intriguing as well. I'm hoping there are some specific models which can be recommended.

Looking for recommendations for dual monitors

I have a very average 4 year old PC setup. I do a little Photoshop, a little gaming, and a lot of Word, Excel, and web browsing. I have been using a single 23" 16:9-ish Asus monitor. I am looking to donate that monitor to another workstation and upgrade to two matching monitors. I'm...

Staples - Sandisk Dual flash drives - YMMV?
