What time does the newegg Friday sale start? Are we talking about 12am Pacific on Friday or more like 12pm Pacific during midafternoon? Not familiar with how Newegg does their promotions =(
Thank you very much!
Follow up to the retarded question: does this netbook accept 2.5" HDD: MSI Wind U123-033US
Product link only says 160 Hard drive but no mention of whether it is a 2.5" HDD.
This product link mentions there is no storage removable... does this mean I wont be able to...
I haven't posted in awhile but I had to for this deal: this was the first power supply I ever purchased (around $130 i think) and I've had no problems with it. It runs quiet and the modular cables does a good job at reducing cable clutter. At $60 (after MIR), this is a great buy for anyone...
Sorry if this is a noobie question, but does having 2 4850s in xfire perform just as well as having a single 4850x2? I have a crossfire capable mobo and don't exactly have the cash to splurge on a 4850x2 straight out. Was more in the line of buying one 4850 and then getting another 4850 when...
Quick question, I game at 1680x1050 and dont plan to change for quite some time. It is more economically viable for me to go with a 4850 for now and hopefully xfire in the future or a 4870? Ive heard that the 4850 is essentially a great card at 1680x1050 and the 4870 would essentially be...
I have similar specs (same powersupply, cpu, 1hd) and was also wondering what gpu setup would be best for my system. I have a P45 board allowing crossfire but was unsure whether 2x4850 or 2x4870 setups were feasible on the HX520. Zero82z pointed out that the HX520 could handle a GTX295 or 4870x2...
How much of a performance difference are we talking about? When exactly did they release the AALS version, didn't know there was a version other than the AAKS?

not too sure if this is a good deal? there is also the 30gb series II $50 AR at newegg
would someone happen to know if any of these are a good deal for an os drive? My 80gb velociraptor died a few days ago (not under warrenty so no replacement) and so i need to get a new hard drive. I...
Due to past problems, I decided it may be nice to have a bootable usb drive in the event the OS became corrupted and I need to access files on the drive. With that said, there are various articles on the web on how to create a bootable usb drive but few (recently updated ones) actually recommend...
The lowest price I could find for a laptop (netbook) was around $300 at newegg. However that is way more expensive than I would like and I was wondering if it was possible to build your own laptop? If so, how much cheaper would it be? My requirements are extremely basic: surf the internet, basic...
Definitely. I only have 1680x1050 resolution and the 8800 series works just fine but if I had higher resolutions, a 4850/4870/gtx260/gtx280/4870x2 would probably be on my radar. Having a 1680x1050 resolution coupled with the fact that no new games (other than Crysis) absolutely requiring the...
Such a great deal, the only thing that keeps it from being absolutely hot is the fact that extremely few games require a 4870 to run at an absolutely great setting besides maybe Crysis; all other games run comfortably on a 8800-series card. But man, so tempted to bite.
If you are going quadcore, than dont waste your time on the Maximus II Formula. Both boards are very good overclockers however it is a known fact that dual cores can sustain a much higher FSB than quad cores. Enthuiast boards (M2F for IP45, Rampage Extreme for x48) are made with the thought of...
And right after that ATI will come out with card to beat Nvidias...
Hmm, when the new gtx260 becomes more widely available, is there a chance that the 4870 will simply continue to remain at $250? I mean this looks like its gonna be a great deal and I would hate to miss it but I would hate to...
WOW thank you so much for all the info, was very helpful. Honesty, didn't know a thing about PSU till after reading our post, especially about the "going overboard" part. Still a little cloudy on the whole "generally max out the efficiency of the unit resulting in less energy waisted as heat"...
My power supply: Corsair HX520w (great performance and aesthetics)
System:
Maximus II Formula
Q6600
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1000
8800gt
2 hd (1 80 GB VR, 1 300 GB Maxtor)
1 cd burner
Currently, the my psu is more than enough for my current system but I was thinking of...
I have the Scythe Kaze Master and it does not control fan speed based on temps. Temp monitors are optional to put on and even if you put them on they in no way they affect fan speed. In fact I think the temp probes are relatively useless seeing as they only measure the temp of the component you...
Hey why can't I change the title of the thread, the title that is scene when browsing the Hot Deals section? I went to edit OP and I changed the title name but apparently it doesn't change the name scene browsing the forums.
Man I felt the exact same way when I was looking for a cheap VR. I missed the $200 deal twice and I just settled on getting the 80 VR from FLECOM a while back, exact same specs but smaller drive size. In any case, I resulted in just bookmarking the OPEN BOX VR link and even though I am not on...
The deal comes back from time to time but it seems to be on a weekly basis, every 2-3 weeks for so. Ive been looking out for this deal back in late July and ive only scene it 3 times (including this time). The previous 2 times it was posted here and on slickdeals.net and it was gone in seconds...
Aren't most drives from newegg OEM? Newegg is a reputable company and its unlikely that the products they sell are defective. I am not saying that all of them are perfect, its just unlikely to find a defective hard drive. In the event the product is defective, WD is also a very good company and...

Quick quick before OOS!!! If it is defective, I think the procedure would be to request an exchange from WD. These go out fast so hurry.
Update: OOS =(
Update 8-28-2008 10:02 pm pacific: BACK IN...
Bump for the people in Oakland... with all those take over style robberies happening at an alarming rate, they might be on the lookout for surveillance equipment.
