24" Soyo back on sale @ Office Max thru 1/5

How do you order online? The nearest OM store is more than 50 miles away. On the item page I simply can't put it into cart. The last message i got was "Product is not currently available. Please check your local OfficeMax store."

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 99$ @ Best Buy

He bumped it probably because the same deal came back to BB last week, $99 with 12% off. Even though I have the Klipsch by following the revived thread I learned something new.

Acer AL2051W Black/Silver 20" 8ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 199.99 + shipping.

I'm considering the Acer 2223 but would be willing to sacrifice size for better colors. Luckymf, how is it much better than the 2216?

OOS: Onkyo receiver TX-SR504S silver refurbished from shoponkyo.com

This is decent and I've bought many refurbs with no problem over the years, but the Amazon $200 new price is competitive in this case. For me, 60-70% of the new price is a deal.

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 99$ @ Best Buy

XF-I Xtreme should be good enough. If you are not picky then the Logitech 5.1 (X-530) is great value and maybe that's already more than you need. but the thing with audio is, once you have the better, you are unlikely going to look back. you will tell a CLEAR difference between the Klipsch...

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 99$ @ Best Buy

The Klipsch are pretty much the last word on 2.1 PC speakers. However, I'm still curious how they compare to another class of those floor standing speakers connected to a home theater receiver. Anyway, those are what I'm getting now ;) For casual gaming I have no problem with my Grado or...

Best 939 Heatsink on a budget

Lots of excellent input here. It is primarily AMD's fault (plus some help from Intel) making build options so bewildering these days. For value, I think AMD's dual cores are really dirt cheap at below $80 (other components like mobo, memory, video card and even the psu are considerably more than...

Best 939 Heatsink on a budget

All points taken. While AM2 CPUs are on par with 939 ones, maybe even cheaper, the 939 advantages are: no need for new DDR2 memory, and 939 boards are cheaper. The first is moot now, since I couldn't help jumping on those super Micron chip bargains going on lately ;) However I had an excellent...

Best 939 Heatsink on a budget

I am extremely happy with my recent AMD 939 rig (Toledo 3800 dual core oc'ed to 2.9Ghz) that I decide to get another same setup, never mind I really don't have any immediate use for it ;) The HS choice is still open and the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme will surely do the trick ;) My...

How important PSU when overclocking...

I second you are very lucky to have the current oc. Anything over 3.5 GHz should be considered the "bang". Beyond that, better/expensive cooling and stability issues are not worth the toil. You may want to find out how high the Vcore can take you, around 1.475v. If there is no change, 1.40v...

Corsair 520W PSU $80 after MIR, $70 with GCO, free shipping

The power unit itself (with the foam) is reasonable, not too heavy. The cables weigh considerably so this could be an argument in favor of modular design: .

I also cannot figure out the UPC "on the back side of the paper insert". There is only one UPC on the box outside, and there is no paper insert anywhere I can see inside the box.

How low can it go. 2GB Crucial Ballistix 800Mhz DDR2 6400 $99.99AR

5-5-5 highest can go to 1050, which makes me think even though these are Ballistix good memory, they are probably the lower grade of the bunch.
