I did the same thing last year, sold my Z5500 on eBay. I also owned the Z2300 and sold just the two satellite speakers for basically what I paid for the whole system years ago, kept the sub and control pod. Ended up buying a new receiver and speakers separately. I waited for deals and ended up...

I recently upgraded my home theater system to the one in my signature from the Z5500 and opted for 5.1 instead of 7.1 so I used the 2 spare Onkyo's with my Z2300. They do sound better so I decided keep them hooked up. Crazy thing is I was able to sell my Z5500 and the 2 Z2300 satellites to cover...

I agree with Dantrax. I've had the Z5500 for 4 or 5 years. Got them from ZZF deal when they were $130. Difference is that I was using the Z5500 as my living room home theater. Recently, I tested replacing the satellites w/the Onkyo SKS-HT540. They sounded so much better w/those that I ended...

Currently on my Win7 system, I have an Audigy 2 Value (w/Daniel_K's driver), Logitech Z2300 speakers, and Shure SRH440 headphones (w/SRH840 earpads). I'm just looking for some recommendations and have a couple questions. My main usage is music, some movies, no gaming. 1) Would I benefit...

On my 2nd Gen iPt, I notice volume is quite a bit louder through headphones and the built-in speaker. Turning it up all the way is unbearable now but wasn't before. As for speed and performance, I do not notice that it's any snappier but everything seems to be working smoothly for me.

FYI for those that have installed or thinking about installing OSX... Besides swapping out the wifi card and the internal mic, everything seems to be working on it now, including the speakers & headphone jack (requires you to switch the settings between them) and touchpad scrolling works as...

The two compartments can be combined. You can unzip the divider between them and it would just make 1 large compartment vs. 2 smaller compartment.

Do you want something to carry your camera gear too? I know you said you prefer messenger type vs. backpack but I currently use this Kata Sensitivity V for my notebook and camera gear. It says up to a 12" notebook but the two 14" I used to own (Latitude D620 & Vostro 1400) fit snugly and I...

New BIOS update available, version 07. You can download it here.

I just bought my wife the Inspiron 13 for $500 after tax. Here's the specs I got for her: Core Duo T4200 2.0Ghz 160GB HD 1GB RAM DVDRW Webcam/Mic 6-cell battery Dell 1395 I already put 3GB RAM in it and swapped for an Intel wifi card. Like I said, it's for the wifey but my...

I ordered this for less than $6 shipped for my NC10. It should be here in the next few days. I plan on using my regular laptop bag/backpack but my NC10 will always be in this sleeve. I'll probably use the sleeve just to bring my NC10 around as well, when I don't need stuff from my bag. The...

Congratulations Jodiuh! Looks just like mine. :) You planning to run OSX on it? I have mine dual-boot w/XP & OSX. I have to say, I don't use my D620 much anymore since I got my NC10. It definitely does boot up fast and does everything I need it to. I have Office 2007 installed in XP &...

I did read somewhere that the two finger scroll fix for the NC10 but I haven't tried it. I wanted to wait until more people confirm it before I try it myself. I'm not too concerned that it doesn't have the scroll though because even in XP, I use the page up/page down more than scrolling.

I definitely agree! Especially with OSX, there's not scroll on the trackpad so the dedicated page up/page down buttons are very useful. I'm pretty impressed how this Atom processor performs. I typically have 5-7 tabs open, IM programs, Outlook and sometimes even stream NBA League Pass this...

I sold a first gen Macbook about a month ago for $650. Specs: 1.86Ghz Core Duo 2GB RAM Superdrive (I replaced the Combo drive myself) 80GB HD Personally, I didn't think it was worth $650 and would have taken $550 but the person didn't even try to haggle so I was cool with that.

Yeah, I was in the same boat as you. My final three came down to the two you mentioned and the upcoming Wind refresh (U123). The value of the 1000HE is better as it does "out spec" the NC10. The 1000HE is a bit bigger than the NC10...

What I did on my NC10 was just get a Dell 1390 wifi card. It works with OSX without doing anything. You just have to get the driver for it w/Windows. Its working well for me right now. Or better yet you could get the Dell 1490 w/wireless N.

Haha...Dynafrom, were those pics taken with a Dare? If it is, the Dare can capture better pics than that. You just have to turn up the ISO. It creates more digital noise but that's better than an out of focus pic. For example:

Look in the thread a few down from yours named "Which 10" Netbook to get?" Many have shared +/- for both systems.

I got the NC10 (white) last week for under $400. I was looking at the 1000HE and MSI Wind (U123 coming out soon) but opted for the NC10 because it just seems to be solid, OS X'able and has a good keyboard. I'm not sure if people have tested the 1.6 vs. 1.66 but I bet in regular browsing &...

I agree that the D630/D620 is a very solid notebook as I do own one. I think most kids though, it's too "plain." There's no webcam and doesn't stand out in the way it looks, but it is pretty well built. I think if that was my budget and if I was still a student, I'd look for a 13", maybe the...

I also just got a iPT, posting from it right now. I got mine from a student who got on the promo going on now. He sold me it for $150 brand new. I love it as well. I thought about getting a smartphone w/wifi bit i'm glad I got this. Battery life isn't the greatest on 2.0.2 so I hope the next...

Never mind...figured it out.

What you said is exactly what I did...I got a new HDTV last month and was able to get $100 off the PS3 so I picked one up. I had owned the 360 for about a year and ended up selling it to cover the cost of the PS3. I did that because I'm more of a casual/sports gamer and all the games I like...

If you're even going to use it as a computer monitor, why do you have to have 1080p? I have the Samsung LN-T3753H but it's 720p. PS3/Blu-Ray looks great and OTA channels are good. I have a spare computer that I have hooked up to it as well and that looks good. I have pics if you want me to...

I think you mean the PS3 is bluetooth. Anyway, this is what I did, and many others have done, to work around the universal remote incompatibility. I bought the Nyko Blu Wave and use the usb IR receiver. With my Harmony 550, the Nyko remote was already pre-programmed so all I had to do was...

Like others have mentioned, the PS3 makes your DVD's look much better than on a non-upconverting DVD player. While some may or may not see a difference between a DVD upconverted vs. a Blu-Ray movie, there should be a difference. I have to admit though, some of the regular DVD's I've watched...

So your LCD has only a single VGA input, which is being used for your computer input? If that's the case, you'd have to get a splitter, which I wouldn't recommend for best image quality, to be able to hook up both your computer and 360. Another option would be to unhook whatever you aren't...

$400? Why not wait and save up for LCD TV. I just bought a Samsung 37" for $850 after tax and I'm loving it. I had my 360 hooked up to a Dell 2407WFP-HC prior to getting the Samsung. How big are you wanting to go in the future? There is a Samsung 42" Plasma TV for $900 right now at Frys...

I already got rid of it, sorry.

If you looking at a budget system, have you thought about the Logitech Z-5500? I know audiophiles who don't think they're very good but I think most would think they're at least acceptable, if not very good. They've been around $200 every so often. If you're wondering how they would look, I...

Got a new LCD TV and hooked up an old system I got from a co-worker for surfing.

Thanks. No, my Samsung isn't the 120hz version. I'm really happy with it though. I'm at my desk much less now for browsing being that I can be on my couch using the new TV to surf. The speakers are good, especially for $130! I had my Z-680's as surround sound before but got the Z-5500 a...

Nothing spectacular here. I got a new Samsung LN-T3753H, swapped a 360 for a PS3 and hooked up my $130 Z-5500's from the ZZF deal. I also swapped the 360 Harmony for a Harmony 550 (not pictured) and hooked up a old Dell computer a coworker gave to me.

Well, I found a buyer for my system and at the price I want to sell it for. He's supposedly going to buy it next weekend. Games like Gears and Halo don't really apply to me when giving a reason to keep the 360 because I just don't play FPS games. I don't play enough games and I don't make...
