thanks good to know. i was initially going for the Antec Super Cyclone, but after reading some of the comments, now i'm looking forward to the Rosswill. :D
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..
ive been using the Vantec 205 for a couple days now. and quite frankly im a bit disappointed. mainly it's not getting my fans as quite as id hoped!
with speedfan im able to slow my two antec blue led 120mm, and zalman 9700led to barely audible level (800rpm for the antecs, and 1200rpm for the...
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
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...
guys im just about finished with my new build. just want some opinion on how i should set the thing up.
Raptor X - OS/Games
Seagate 400gb - Programs/Important Data
Seagate 400gb - Page file/Backup/Storage
or should i just put OS/Programs/Games/Page file all on the Raptor, and use the two...
good deal but CA tax kills it for me.. even with in-store pickup comes to $292 (+gas money).. so i just ended up spending 10 bucks more and got the retail w/3yr warranty at directron..
thanks. just grabbed a 8800gtx for $534.73 + $44.12(CA tax) = $578.85. :)
btw Buy.com has this same card for about the same price right now AR/GCO. for those of you who are spared from paying tax when shopping at Buy.com should probably check out that deal as well..

like others, i've always been satisfied with newegg's oem hdds, nothing's wrong with their packaging.. btw even though im stuck paying CA tax whenever i shop from them, i still do it cuz if anything goes wrong, the egg's got your back..
anyway, been waiting for a deal like this for a while, i...
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.
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...
: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..
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...
damn thats a great deal. how the hell did you get it for only $1078? i also ordered the e1505 yesterday with ONLY the screen & vid card upgrade and that cost ~$800 before tax.. and thats with stacking 2 coupons ($350, $35)...
i hopped on this deal yesterday.. grabbed an e1505 with upgraded screen and vid card for $866 shipped. not sure why i even got it cuz i have no need for a laptop.. damn i hate sites like slickdeals..lol :D
those look good. but unfortunately they're a bit out of my price range. im just using these drives for movies and music storage so anywhere between $30-60 would be nice.. also ive just done some searching and realize there arent a whole lot of these external eSATA out there.. guess the majority...
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...
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...
yeah this is an excellent drive. got two for $96/ea shipped from ZZF couple months ago.. quiet and runs cool... if i didnt get the $99 300GB seagate last week, id be all over this..:D
