    Vista Ultimate Upgrade on Blank HDD - Confirming Success

    Great find OP! and you really dont have to install 'twice' every time. right after you install the 1st time, can't you just burn the windows folder to dvd? so next time you reinstall, just load the folder back to a blank drive, and do the upgrade from there..

    Newegg drive packaging, a welcome surprise

    it wouldnt surprise me if NE intentionally stocks less than perfect batches of OEM drives on the cheap. so if the drives happen to be DOA we'll naturally blame it on their crappy packaging instead... :D

    Newegg drive packaging, a welcome surprise

    after reading your post, i placed two separate orders for the 2 drives I was getting hoping to minimize the damage since they're in two separate physical boxes.. well one of the drives still came DOA since it decided to settle itself onto the very bottom of the box with the bubblewrap padding...

    this headset might not be the slickest looking but it is by far the best for under $50. absolutely no static or echo unlike the half a dozen others ive tried. works great with my cell phone, pda, skype, and even my landline phone back at home.. great all around.

    Any experiance w/ BenQ FP202W Black 20.1"?

    ive been thinking of adding this benq as a secondary to my current vx2025wm for some dual lcd action. it'll mostly be used for watching tv, web browsing, pic viewing, etc. but no gaming (i'll leave that to the vx2025wm) is this a good buy? it's 30 bucks cheaper than the vx2025wm. as much as...

    Did I just get ripped off by Dell?

    :D yeah it always amaze me how ppl get lured in with Dell's base price and end up getting $500+ worth of 'upgrades' that can be had elsewhere for 1/3 the cost.. pretty much the only thing id upgrade is the screen and the vid card, since you can't conviently get those aftermarket..

    Laptop Choices

    if bulky is a concern, then i assume you plan on lugging the laptop around. for that you can forget about the e1705. that thing is a monster! of course the upside of the e1705 is you have a much better vid card option. was in a similar situation as you and just bought an e1505 two days ago...

    eSATA enclosures?

    eSATA enclosures?

    hey guys, i grabbed a couple of Seagate 300GB a few days ago and was wondering what eSATA enclosures are you fellas using (or can recommend). i have a PATA USB external that i use occasionally, but the speed on that thing is pretty slow.. ive found two eSATA (vantec, thermaltake) on Newegg, but...

    Request for a 20" wide vs. 19" LCD Pic

    i also own a vx2025wm.. although i have never compared them side by side, ive used a regular 19" lcd on many occasions, and i can honestly tell you the 20.1" just feel more comfortable. dont know how else to describe it...it's just hard to go back to a 19" after getting used to a 20.1". and...
