Capitalism at it's best iDed

No it doesn't. In fact I used a no name set I had in a drawer for a while. Just looking for some experience before buying anything. I hate throwing money away on crap. If I needed full on headphones I could find a dozen good ones, but I don't.

Can anyone recommend a decent single ear headset? I have a full surround sound setup, so I have no use for 5.1, or 7.1 headphones. All I want is on that I can use for chat in-game on the 360. I've had 4 of the original 360 ones... first set was broken, second was great, third was good...

My system runs hot. Don't know why, but at idle with nothing really running PCProbe shows about 53°C, and CoreTemp show about 5° cooler. I just started using iTunes on this systems, and both times I've synced an iPod it has shot up to 65°C. That was with no more than 25% or so on any of the...

Haven't been to a CC for a deal, and I won't most likely. Years ago I worked at a store that had a suspicious fire. Everything in the stock rooms, show rooms had smoke damage. Nothing was burned or wet from the fire department. The insurance company took everything, gave the owner a check for...

This will be my first LCD. I've been using a Sony G520 CRT for years for the "better" color over LCD. It's getting some burn-in though, and the colors are off now. Time to move to LCD, but not willing to pay out the arse for it. Anyway here's the questions: How is the color reproduction? I...

I haven't bought one in a couple years so I can't recommend a specific frame. I can however suggest a feature. Get one with a motion sensor on it. I believe the manual for ours even says not to leave it on for extended periods of time. Who wants to turn off a picture frame every night? Or...

Danny Bui, Thanks For the reply. I looked at both items you mentioned. I don't mind buying a slightly beefier video card, so I think I'll stick with the 4830, and the PSU you mentioned isn't in stock at the egg. I'm trying to buy from one source for once. The total difference is about $60...

um... bump

I've been doing some shopping (much by price) and put together a list. Does anyone have any input on these? Alt. suggestions? CPU - AMD Phenom 9850 BLACK EDITION 2.5GHz Motherboard - ASUS M3A78 Memory - OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) PSU - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W Vid Card -...

OK, here goes... I'm building my first new rig in several years and have been out of the loop for a while. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Daily web browsing, with occasional photoshop/illustrator work, DVD/CD ripping and now HD video editing...

Thanks for the replies. I tried re-encoding a couple of the songs, and they came up shorter than they should be. As if the originals were missing sections, and that was making itunes/ipod end the song. I'll just have to track down all the NFG ones, and rerip.

No, I have double checked. Everything is set up right that I can find..... 95% of my stuff plays fine.

I have a ton of songs that suddenly end. The entire song is there on the computer, and ipod, and they are not set to end before the entire song has played. To clarify... Johnny Cash: I walk the line, plays until the first verse starts, then jumps to the next song. If I skip ahead it will...
