DEAD w/10,000 orders in 48 mins... $750 off $1499+ Inspiron

I just got my Inspiron 6000 yesterday. My first laptop, and it's sweeeeeet. Haven't checked the memory speed yet, but I did reformat. I am also curious about a sleeve/case for it; any recommendations?

iRiver IHP-140 40GB $366 @ Newegg

Been shopping around for an mp3 player, and based on all of your reviews I am picking one of these up. Found a $40 rebate form for a online retailer, but since I haven't posted in soooooo long, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post rebate links :/ eh, at least I got free shipping on the thing...

Anyone use a graphics tablet?

I agree with gsaldivar as well...Wacom would be the way to go. I managed to get a used Wacom Graphire tablet for $20...it's the serial version, but still works great when I'm doing photo touchup, texture work, or just drawing.

Recommendations for a UPS

It's an Aspire ATX-AS500W power supply. I just don't want to part with it because it's transparent and has cool blue lights in it :D Which backup unit do you have? I just saw this one on sale at Compusa for the week: Back-UPS ES500 Not sure about it, though. It's appealing because it's...

D'oh! I should have posted this here first, instead of the peripherals section. --------------- Soooo...we're storming pretty bad here in Hawaii right now. On Friday, the power went out in my area; when I got home from work, my comp was dead. I've since determined that my processor is out, as...

Recommendations for a UPS

Hello all, Soooo...we're storming pretty bad here in Hawaii right now. On Friday, the power went out in my area; when I got home from work, my comp was dead. I've since determined that my processor is out, as well as my motherboard. I'm still not sure what the status of the other items in my...

I just saw the post by timbob66, but since I haven't posted here in a looooooooooong time, I figure I would start my own thread. I'm actually surprised I remembered my login info ;) I've been debating whether or not to get a CPU upgrade...a last hurrah for my current box. Here's my current...

motherboard woes

thanks for the help, everyone :D I'd hate to go through a reformat just for a temp board...heck, I'm hoping there's a large capacity drive on sale tomorrow just so I can justify for myself in getting one to set up (heheh). Anyhoos, I know the chipsets on both are different. I believe the...

motherboard woes

I posted this in the motherboard section, but I thought I'd try here as well: well, I'm in need of some help. My current motherboard, an Asus A7V333, had a shorted-out usb2.0 connection pin on the motherboard itself (fried, actually). So, I decided last night to replace it with another board...
