    Why don't PC cases have 5.25" external drive bays anymore?

    I surrendered. Didn't like doing it, but... yeah. Although I picked up a case with a 5.25 bay, it's filled just with a DVD-RW lightscribe drive. Rather than fight the problem of not having front-of-case customization, I just gave up and hid the whole case. I don't care about aesthetics...

    16TB for under $50? Not sure if this is legit.

    Thank you everyone. I'm in need of a new storage drive and I'll probably just go with a traditional 3.5" spinner. It'll store mostly images and pre-edit video taken from a 4K camera and will be on a separate computer from the one where I do most of my media work, just as a backup. I think it...

    16TB for under $50? Not sure if this is legit.

    I haven't posted here for a while, but I saw on Newegg when looking for a new data storage drive that they're selling what looks like a thumb drive and they're advertising it as a 16TB drive priced at under $50. There are no reviews of the product so I'm not sure what to think? Fact or...

    Infinity (well-reviewed and highly regarded) reference series home theatre speakers are extremely low priced right now.

    Couldn't hurt, as long as you have some kind of rubber feet in between to keep the upper speaker from sliding off the lower one. The vibrations of a sub could cause that to happen if it's loud for a while. How is the sound and coverage from it? I've never actually heard music from this R...

    I would recommend calling them. I had to call them to get the ball rolling. Be sure to make mention of the black Friday price so that they don't overcharge you. Kinda sucks the a manufacturer of such good products has such terrible communication and logistics.

    Infinity (well-reviewed and highly regarded) reference series home theatre speakers are extremely low priced right now.

    Both for under $340 total here. They're clean sounding, as if they were in sealed, non-ported enclosures, and yet somehow they make that sound out of ported boxes. They don't really match my other speakers with the grilles off, and they look like space heaters with the grilles on, so they're...

    Infinity (well-reviewed and highly regarded) reference series home theatre speakers are extremely low priced right now.

    They arrived today. They both appear to have no defects and so far seem good. I've been running a lot of tests for the purpose of aiming them and setting gain/crossover/etc. levels, so it's been mostly tone generator tests and white noise tests so that I get a balanced flat response in as much...

    [Somewhat Alive] MEGASALE: JBL Studio Series Home Audio Speakers (590, 580, 570, 530, 520c, 550p Subwoofer)

    Looks like they're still on sale. If you're serious about keeping them long, long term, they're worth the purchase while they're still in production as a matching set, at almost any price. If you upgrade every so often, I'd say forget it, because there will always be that better item or better...

    Infinity (well-reviewed and highly regarded) reference series home theatre speakers are extremely low priced right now.

    I only bought two because they will be placed under my main two speakers. Hopefully my measurements worked out well and they'll fit just right. The price was low enough that buying a second didn't break the bank. Wife doesn't mind at all considering I just replaced an old home-grade...

    Now I have a delivery date, so things are looking up. If you made an order, this post will hopefully renew your faith in the process.

    Infinity (well-reviewed and highly regarded) reference series home theatre speakers are extremely low priced right now.

    You know, I think that center channel C263 has identical drivers to the towers. I'm curious to know what they do to account for the difference in enclosure space. It should be a very good center speaker though. Some good news, some bad news, some worse news: Good news, as of today, they said...

    [Somewhat Alive] MEGASALE: JBL Studio Series Home Audio Speakers (590, 580, 570, 530, 520c, 550p Subwoofer)

    I was comparing the Infinity R12 to the JBL Stage A120P. The Infinity had a flatter frequency response and held it's response down to lower pitches/frequencies before the rolloff when compared to the A120P. The Infinity also had a significantly stronger amplifier. I was comparing those two...

    [Somewhat Alive] MEGASALE: JBL Studio Series Home Audio Speakers (590, 580, 570, 530, 520c, 550p Subwoofer)

    Infinity is an amazing speaker brand. I posted about their similar (or better) sale. JBL and Infinity are both Harmon International. I bought 2 powered 12" infinity subs (better specs than the 12" JBL, even though JBL is still awesome) for under $340, including free shipping and free tax...

    Also, sorry about not including a link; it's just that at some forums, you can get a warning of being banned (or banned if not first offense) for posting a thread advertising something for sale (spam). Another poster did the favor of posting the link though, and thank you for that. I really...
