Bad experience at Circuit City, LN-T4061F

It's unfortunate but you really should have just taken your money and left. They were up front about it and offered an alternative which you knew was unsatisfactory so there was no further need for discussions. A higher end model for the same price? These aren't steaks they're selling, they are...

WD RAPTOR

Depends on two main things. Money and your actual storage needs. Of course price comes into play first and foremost and if you are on a budget, bigger HDD's with new technology are the better buy. However, if you don't use very much space to begin with, why not get a Raptor? I myself could cram...

anyone seen the new 120hz "motion" TV's?

I personally don't like it from what I've seen but if I were in the market, I'd get it just in case. I watched Transformers with it and the best explanation I can come up with is it looks like a very clean daytime soap opera if that makes any sense.

Looking to replace front 3 - updated OP

If it were me, I would look at saturdayaudio.com and pick up a pair of the Monitor Audio B1/B2 or the PSB Image B15/B25 as they are all far superior to the Polks. Doesn't leave you much room for a center but I think they more than make up for it.

so i paid for my purchase at amazon on 1/3/08 and still dont have my Senn Hd555's

The HD555's are a great pair of headphones and quite comfortable to boot. On the topic of Amazon/USPS shipping and tracking, USPS doesn't normally do tracking updates from my experience. It goes straight from picked up to dropped off and nothing in between. Regarding the volume, whoever is...

Using alt memory sots on P5E instead of Primary

It will work fine in slots 2 and 4. If you're lucky, and it's like my P5K, slots 2 and 4 actually offer better performance and stability.

Harddrive failure rates

First of all, don't take Newegg reviews very seriously as anyone can go in and write whatever they want. Second, if it is for a serious business, you really should be looking at SCSI drives and the like as that is what they are made for. Finally, I haven't heard of a particular size...

Crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2) Ballistix BL2KIT12864AA804 $49.99 No Rebate

Granted I haven't kept up with memory since I haven't had a need to buy any recently so you may be right but I dont think so. D9's are the only chips that realistically need 2.2V so unless Crucial wants you to really overvolt some third party OEM chips, I have no reason to believe that these...

So... CoD 4

As great as it is, the SP is far too easy to get through even on Veteran save for a few parts but those are far and few between. Kill a few, nade the area, run forward, then kill the slackers. MP is truly fantastic although grinding out some of the higher levels can be a bit tedious. Fastest...

Setting up the beginnings of a new HT setup

Thanks for all the responses. So I'm leaning towards the Onkyo 605 and the BA CR67's for now. However, I know the CR67's are a little underpowered to be permanent fronts so do you think down the road they would be reasonable rears or would they need replacing down the road?

Setting up the beginnings of a new HT setup

I recently bought a 50" Samsung 1080P DLP along with the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player and the picture is spectacular. However the sound is horrible so I figured I might try my hand in getting a modest HT setup. But I dont know just how long I'll be staying in my current place and my girlfriend is...

Heatpipes in a reverse ATX case?

I've been trying to find an answer to this question but a concrete answer is impossible to find. I've heard that there are wicks in the heatpipes that cause them to operate normally no matter the orientation. But I've also heard that not all heatpipes have them so reversing the orientation would...

SMOKING!! - Logitech diNovo Edge $79.99 @ Best Buy

I hope you're not talking about the G51's because those are much more closely related to the X series rather than the Z series speakers. On topic, the diNovo Edge is a great keyboard and $79.99 is a decent price for it considering the price of a standard wireless keyboard.

Am I losing interest in video games?

I do believe it is the games themselves and not the gamers that is causing the boredom. Iifeel the exact same way with tons of games that I bought but couldn't bring myself to finish. However, every so often, a real gem comes down the pipe and I find myself playing them with as much excitement...

Weird problem with my new router

I just picked up a WRT150N and am pretty satisfied with it so far. It's wired to my desktop with Vista Home Premium and my girlfriend's laptop is connected through Wireless G running XP Home. However, I have a weird problem in that when I connect the laptop wirelessly, I get "Little to No...
