Not sure if this is a targeted thing or not, but I got an email from Amazon this morning with an offer of $39.99 for 12 month XBox Live. Delivery was instant with a code to plug in, no card to ship out. I usually see deals listed in the $36 range, so this is a few dollars more from a trusted...
Just saw this on Slickdeals, Free XBox Live Arcade game download, not sure how long it will last for free, snag it while you can!
Doritos Crash Course 2
I enjoyed the first one for free as well a long time ago, added this one to my download que.
I know we have a few guitar players here, so thought I would toss this out here as well.

I found this on another deal site and had been looking for a NAS for my network. Maxtor B01Q500 Fusion NAS @ Tiger Direct $119.99 + shipping. Here's the link. I didn't find too many reviews on it online, but CNET gave it a favorable review except for the high cost, but this find negates that...

OK, so I finally took the plunge and ordered the parts for my foray into HD HTPC's today, and I was wondering about the best audio solution. I chose the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H Micro ATX board and a LG Blu-Ray/HD DVD combo drive. I plan on using Power DVD Ultra, Vista 64 bit Ultimate, and the...
Well, after killing 3 EVGA 680SLI boards in 3 months and going through the RMA headaches of tearing apart my system and water loop to change motherboards every month, I successfully migrated everything over to my new Asus MAximus Formula SE last night. Everything is at stock right now, but...
Guys, I just updated my rig in my sig to a Q6700 in a Lian Li PC-V1000B with an Apogee GTX block, MCP350 pump with Petra top, swiftech micro res and a Swiftech MCR320 3X120 radiator running through tygon 1/2" tubing. I want to add my 8800gtx to the loop, and wanted to know what the best cooler...
I swapped out my E6600 over the weekend for my Q6700 and Vista task manager only showed 2 cores in Task Manager. I wanted a clean install of Vista anyway, so I reformatted and reinstalled and still only 2 cores show up in Task Manager. I made sure the option to show one graph for each CPU was...

Best Buy has the retail boxed 150gig Western Digital Raptor X retail boxed drives on sale for $199.99 with free shipping, but they are showing as backordered. You might want to give it a shot to see if they fill backorders since this is a pretty hot deal with no rebates to send in. This is the...
Any of you guys got a good spam solution for Outlook Express for Windows XP64? I just upgraded to a Core 2 Duo box and installed XP64 and I am still searching for something to combat the spam that my old solution filtered under regular XP Pro.
Should I buy 1 8800 GTX or 2 7950 GT video cards for SLI? I am finally biting the bullet and doing a full system upgrade and will be running these on a Dell 30" LCD. I can get either video option for about the same outlay of cash. Help me out so my itchy trigger fingers can pull the plug on...

I've currently got a PC-DL with dual 1.6lv's running at 3.2. I have been itching to go the PCI-e video card route, but haven't wanted to have to scrap a wonderful platform. Is there any motherboard out there that is socket 604 that has pci-e instead of agp, and if so, are they overclocker...
A friend of mine asked me if audiobooks would fit on a shuffle. I told her I had no idea on the size of audiobooks, so thought I'd post here. Anyone have any experience with downloading audiobooks to a 512MB Shuffle? Or does anyone have the average size of an audiobook file handy?

OK, found this on another deal site, smoking hot deal if you ask me. I have the sister set to this model, the LNR408D, that uses conventional backlighting and it is a gorgeous picture, and I paid much more than this for it back in July.

1.6ghz Intel Xeon processors, stepping code SL6GV. These have a 16x multiplier. I have personally run them stable in an Asus PC-DL motherboard overclocked to 2.64ghz (16X 165mhz FSB). They may run higher, but I didn't try too hard to get them higher, as I came upon another pair. The full...

I replaced my power switch with a Bulgin switch this weekend and it won't turn off! Even if I shut down from within Windows, the machine turns right back on. Holding in the switch does nothing. I've got the following switch from FrozenCPU.com: Lighted Bulgin Switch . I've got the LED wired...

OK, so I'm about to get started on putting all my new stuff together and had a few questions, as this will be my first foray into water cooling. What do you guys use for hose clamps? I opted to not buy the little plastic jobs that Danger Den has for sale on their website. Do you guys...
Well, I decided to take the plunge and get my feet wet in the water cooling world. I figured this was a good time, seeing as how I bought a pair of those low voltage 1.6ghz Xeons from the [H]ot Deals thread. I went with a setup from Danger Den consisting of:
2 - TDX waterblocks
