Did anyone else order from Antonline via Amazon and not yet have their monitor ship out? I ordered mine on April 1st and it still says "Preparing for Shipment." I'm hoping they allocated one and that I'm not stuck waiting on their next shipment.

The initial backup would take a long time, which I'm prepared for, but I would do incremental backups after that. I'd like to run the backups from 2 PC's daily but keep the drive somewhere other than attached to my PC. Right now I'm just connecting a USB drive and putting it in a safe, but I...

I'd like to be able to back up data to a hard drive around 1.5TB in size. Ideally, I'd like a 3.5" HDD enclosure with wireless N built in, so I could simply plug in a power cable and hide the drive somewhere. It looks like several devices were made years back to either share a USB drive, or even...

Anyone have an idea? I've posted on a couple different forums and haven't heard much.

I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 with a display problem. The colors are very washed out (desaturated) and the screen is very bright... blacks look gray and everything else has a white halo. This occurs outside of the OS during the splash screen, so it must be a hardware problem. I've changed out the...

Ordered the e4300 at newegg. Thanks for the advice.

Perhaps I was shooting a little high - let's say 2.8 - 3.0GHz. I would think the Freezer 7 would be up to the task as my case is well ventilated. E4300, E4400, or other?

I purchased 2GB of OCZ PC2-6400 and an Arctic Cooler Freezer 7. I'm planning to buy a GA-P35-DS3R and am still trying to decide on a processor. I'd like to keep the price of the CPU under $200. I plan to do an overclock to 3.0 or 3.2 GHz. I want to "set it and forget it" - just have a...

I'm looking to buy a T40 or T42 for field service. Are there any vendors which carry these notebooks (aside from eBay). I'll go to eBay if necessary; I'm just curious if there are any other sources for off-lease or refurb thinkpads.

I have the HD590's and X-Fi XtremeMusic for BF2. Definitely get the X-Fi for its Ultra High audio setting in BF2. I was using a regular Audigy previously and there wasn't much bass. The X-Fi outputs better bass for both music and BF2.

Thanks guys. The lifetime warranty on the evga would be good. Newegg doesn't state "CO" in the model name, but it's this model, right? How would you say the fan noise is, preferably compared to other 7800GT's? I'm seeing mixed reviews on the noise.

A friend of mine is looking to buy a 7800GT, and has mainly looked at the BFG and XFX cards. I'd research them myself, but as the card is not for me and he doesn't intend to overclock, I'd rather just get your opinions. What's your best pick for performance and price, preferably with low fan...

I've been out of the console scene for a while and it was a good article to get me up to speed on the features of the XBOX 360 and how they are implemented. Great photos and screenshots of the menus. I'd say the review did well in overviewing the value and capabilities of the system. When...

I don't think you can switch to a VGA source on the 2405FPW if you already have your PC connected with DVI. This would mean you'd have to disconnect your DVI cable from the monitor in order to switch sources. Perhaps someone can confirm this.

It's a new iPod, and a new battery. I wouldn't jump to conclusions and claim the battery will die really quickly. Soldering the battery wires wouldn't be difficult for anyone with a little soldering experience. For those without, the battery can be replaced through Apple or from online repair...
