Is there any DVR I can buy that has no monthly fee and will work with Comcast via CableCard? I don't feel like Tivo generates $15/month of value to me on top of the hardware cost of the unit. I know I could roll my own HTPC and add a HD Homerun Prime, but I'm looking for a simpler solution...

Am I more likely to have more bad blocks now than a fresh drive? Wondering if I should just RMA anyway -- costs me $5 in shipping.

I have an Intel X25-M 120GB solid state drive that I think was causing me to crash frequently. I chkdsk'd it and found some issues. Intel's solid-state drive toolbox's diagnostics said there were problems, so I bought a new drive, copied the contents over, and just got an RMA. However, after...

And I just crashed in BIOS while monitoring my temps. Yippee!

I'm trying to debug a machine I built a year and a half ago and worked fine until very recently, and I'm running into some really strange problems. First, my machine: CPU: i5-2500k Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Mobo: Asus P8P67m PRO B0 (currently on BIOS version 3602) PSU: Antec NeoPower 650 Case...

Deal is dead now.

XoR, those monitors are all $1000+ and low stock. Discontinued?

Any recommendations for places with a good return policy?

Are there any 24" IPS monitors with light AG that people could recommend? Looking to finally replace my 7-year old Dell 2001FP. I'm currently using a HP ZR30w at work, and I'm finding I really dislike the anti-glare coating. I'd ideally like a 27", but the Samsung 27" is a little pricy for...

Are there any 24"s with less aggressive AG? I'd be willing to step a size down if I could get less grain. I really don't like it on white backgrounds.

I've been thinking about buying a 27" for home use, and I just happened to get a HP ZR30w at work. I'm finding that the image is shimmery, even if I turn the brightness all the way down. Is this the anti-glare coating? How does ZR30w rate compared to the latest batch of 27" monitors? Are...

I can't find any decent reviews of using 32" IPS TVs as a monitor. Can someone point me to one (or a lengthy Hardorum thread)? Thanks

The Asus P8P67-M Pro supports 8x8 SLI/Crossfire and is micro atx. http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=iT2FJPCMOGBHClu4

This is just the GPUs from my main rigs starting in 1992 -- lots of other video cards in my wife's computer and servers over time. You can see that I'm a big NVIDIA fan. Nobody seems to come close with driver quality, particularly OpenGL/Linux support. Old school Trident board ??MB S3...

I wonder what the extra PCI x16 that's wired as a PCI x4 is for? Physics?
