    Post your workstations 2011

    I neglected to label my M-Audio Audio Buddy, Red Sox Coaster, HALO Mega Bloks, Bottle of TUMS, toothpicks and the Windows Home server hidden behind my busted Koolance case. Building a new desk so once it is done hopefully it wont be as messy, though probably as random.

    Microcenter Sandy Bridge Replacement Email

    It is a straight swap. I handed them my old board (Which I got for $99 on sale at the same time as my processor and it is $110 now after rebate) and got the new board. I just "bought" it through the site so I could go to customer service and they would have it waiting for me. I didn't pay a...

    Microcenter Sandy Bridge Replacement Email

    I saw on their site last week that you just "buy" a replacement board for 18 minute pick up and bring your old board and receipt. When I went to pick it up the girl was confused until I explained about the series 6 chipset and then she said "Oh, the recall!" so mentioning that may save you some...

    Microcenter has a killer deal on the 2500K and 2600K right now

    I bought a Gigabyte P67-UD3 board, i5-2500k and 4 gigs of inexpensive crucial RAM from Microcenter and even after tax it came out $60 or $70 cheaper than the exact same parts from Newegg, not counting their shipping.

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    Well I went and bought a 2500k and Gigabyte P67 board. So no more AMD for me for the moment.

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    Hemming and hawing about holding out for this (which I am a little short of funds for) or going with the AMD 1055T. I live 5 minutes from Microcenter so both are deals. Either way I gotta upgrade this x2 4600 I've been riding for a few years now.

    Gamestop trade-in program....

    I think the arcade trade is a good deal just because of the recent Target deal and the inevitable CL flood of arcades. You might do better selling the wirless adapter and harddrive on CL.

    HL2 Episode 3.....Should we just give up?

    I rather hear nothing and be pleasantly surprised when it does ship rather than hype and empty promises. That is the stark difference between Ep. 3 and DNF or any other vaporware. There haven't been a bunch of teaser screenshots and promised features that have never materialized. Yes, they are...
