Carlsbad CA PC Club = The Suck La Mesa CA PC Club = The Suck Even the Mira Mesa CA PC Club = The Suck I have had more negative experiences at PC Club than positive experiences. Why did I keep going back? I am a masochist! Aside from single sale items, PC Club is worthless. The...

I am looking on the bright side...it was the video card barb that leaked...and dripped. Had it been one of the chipset or CPU barbs, I would be looking at wed motherboard components....ugg.

3/8" ...a 1/4 turn of the screw driver and I haven't leaked since last night when it was discovered....and even if it did leak...it would drop on to the case floor as I don't have anything under the video card right now.

Rest in Peace `o Sound Blaster Audigy. For you are my first casualty in my fight for cooling. I have been water cooling for years, with my first water cooling rig being one of the original Koolance cases, with nary a drop of water leaking. Alas, when I returned from walking the dog to...

Yes...it would have to be Intel as I seriously doubt you could shove an AMD CPU in to a socket 478 MB... Now that I am done being a smart-ass...I can't help you. I don't "DO" Intel, though my best guess would be to go with the more cache and overclock.

Again...let me repeat...publishers make little if ANYTHING from subscriptions. Even if you raised the subscription price by 4, there is no way in hell that would compensate for the revenue lost if you lowered the ad to editorial ratio to even 50:50. A full page ad in PC Mag probably costs...

No...I said that the RATIO is about the same. 10 years ago there may have been 60-80 more pages, which means there was more content than there is now (but more ads as well). Now, the ratios I am quoting are IN GENERAL. The more pages of ads you sell, the less advertising per page you...

I bought 2 spindles of the DVD-R to qualify for free shipping. I did have to cough up $1.30 in taxes... Still a good deal though. It just so happens that I am down to about 25 DVD-R's. I now need to look around for some CD deals as I am down to only about 4 or 5 blank CDs... NOTE...

I can't grab this deal because, while I love Newegg and use them all the time, I can not accept their incredibly lame dead pixil policy. 8 dead pixils before a return is accepted? Assinine! "** Dead Pixels Policy: Replacement or Refund for 8 or more dead pixels only. " Who thought of...

It's funny you should use the word "FEEDBACK" in your topic name... ...because EBAY has this thing called FEEDBACK that helps a person determine if the reseller is a dipshit or someone worth trusting. According to the link you provide....this guy has 110 transactions with a 100% positive...

I am in the publishing business. The company I work for produces Sea Magazine, Go Boating Magazine and The Log Newspaper. They are all boating related publcations. I can tell you for sure that (a) Magazines make VERY LITTLE off subscriptions. Most of the time, they are breaking even...

I have personally never used the PC CLUB website, but I have visited a number of their stores in San Diego (Carlsbad, San Diego, & La Mesa). The La Mesa store is no longer there...one of the 15 they closed evidently. My experiences with PC Club are mixed. I've gotten some decent deals...
