    Portal 2 weekend sale at Kmart and GameStop

    FYI: The Gamestop buy online and pick up in-store option from the website lists the price at $49.99 but the actual in-store price if you just drive over and buy it there was $29.99 +tax, at least in the Phoenix metro area. I would just use the site to check if it's in stock and call the store...

    Slight buzzing/static in front panel headphone jack

    I just started using the front audio jacks on my Antec 900 and noticed this same thing. Poking around with it today I noticed that as well as the individual ground wires in the audio, USB and firewire jacks there is a case ground as well. Disconnecting the front panel case ground (single black...

    Amazon Prime Free for 3 Months Even if you've had it before

    This is still valid if anyone was wondering. I had accepted a free one month trial back in December that expired yesterday. Used this today to get another 3 months free. Awesome. Thanks OP!

    Hot? Samsung 24" LCD 1080P - $199.99

    I got one of these last night in store. They have the same deal but it is with coupon so ask at the door if you need the latest coupon pack (I had to as we originally set our membership up to opt out of mailings). No dead/stuck pixels on the one I picked up and it looks amazing. I had purchased...

    [BBY] Antec 900 *$67.99* Clearance (YMMV)

    -1 Just picked one of these up from this deal on Sunday. It's great! Everything fits well, installation was pretty simple, the included fans are all adjustable and pretty quiet even on medium. Don't just call it a piece of shit without giving some examples of why you feel it's that way. It's...

    100 off technet

    It looks like Microsoft has mostly unhosed the Technet site now. The Win7 DVD Images are up on the Top Downloads page and are coming in at a much higher speed than the download from the normal Technet software page. If you are currently getting shitty speeds you might want to cancel your current...

    Colin Mcrae's Dirt for PC: $14.99 Fry's

    It's not about being uncomfortable with Starforce. It's about the fact that the version of Starforce in this game is not compatible with Win7 32 or 64 bit. Starforce also causes all kinds of hell with things like NERO, Daemon Tools or Alcohol virtual drives. If I don't have to uninstall my disc...

    Logitech Illuminated Keyboard $34.99 AR @ the Egg, free shipping

    To throw in my $0.02: This keyboard has a short physical key height and low top cup (like a laptop). This makes it hard to feel, at least for me, where your fingers are positioned key wise. I didn't/don't have this problem with my normal laptop keyboard, only with this Logitech illuminated...

    nVidia 162.18 and Viewsonic VA1912wb

    From the nVidia forums (this worked for me on my 7950GT with ForceWare v162.18 and VA1912WB on DVI): Original posting: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=21993&st=0

    USB Pole Dancer $24

    Got a spare bit o' change? I mean, got a second mortgage or personal loan to cover this? Damn, I wanted one too but not for 1000$: http://www.lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=91 Neat but definitely an ice cold deal. And from the videos the robot pole dancer looks pretty lame. Not worth...

    What games have you regretted buying?

    <insert any MMO*G here> is just level/stuff/random crap grinding because the developers/publishers have figured out that they can milk hundreds or thousands of dollars per consumer over the life of the MMO project for mind numbing JUNK as long as they can get them started on the grind...

    Warmish: Gamestop brand optical audio cable $15

    Pretty cold actually, maybe only even close to a deal if you need it right away. Monoprice is much cheaper: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&style=
