    Decent singe ear headset??

    Can anyone recommend a decent single ear headset? I have a full surround sound setup, so I have no use for 5.1, or 7.1 headphones. All I want is on that I can use for chat in-game on the 360. I've had 4 of the original 360 ones... first set was broken, second was great, third was good...

    65°C CPU temp when iTunes Syncs

    My system runs hot. Don't know why, but at idle with nothing really running PCProbe shows about 53°C, and CoreTemp show about 5° cooler. I just started using iTunes on this systems, and both times I've synced an iPod it has shot up to 65°C. That was with no more than 25% or so on any of the...

    Dell SP2309W Questions

    This will be my first LCD. I've been using a Sony G520 CRT for years for the "better" color over LCD. It's getting some burn-in though, and the colors are off now. Time to move to LCD, but not willing to pay out the arse for it. Anyway here's the questions: How is the color reproduction? I...

    MP3s abruptly ending

    I have a ton of songs that suddenly end. The entire song is there on the computer, and ipod, and they are not set to end before the entire song has played. To clarify... Johnny Cash: I walk the line, plays until the first verse starts, then jumps to the next song. If I skip ahead it will...

    Which store has best return policy on xbox 360?

    With my second 360 dead I'm thinking circuit city wasn't the best place to buy from. I think I'm going to return it outright and buy it from a store with a better return policy. Even if I have to pay for it (under $60). I would like to get 1 year over-the-counter-return. Thanks In Advance!

    I've got a PS3... Now what?

    So my dad walks in my house at around 9 am today and gives me a PS3 for my birthday. Sweet right? Maybe not. I didn't really want a PS3. I had thought about getting a 360 for myself eventually, maybe even the $199 AR +cash back deal on a premium system. I couldn't justify spending $500+...

    Best console for a 6 year old?

    I am, I mean santa is going to give my son a console for christmas this year, but I'm admittedly "out of the loop" when it comes to kids and video games. We're sticking to last generation here. Available or not, the xbox 360, WII, and PS3 are out. Just too much money. I have an X-Box...

    What's the difference? 9800XTs

    This is probably a stupid question, but I couldn't find an answer here, google, or anywhere else. Is there a difference between the 9800XTs with the full retail fan (big fan ducted, fancy sticker on it), and the (I'm assuming) OEM ones with just a small fan in a silver metal box over the GPU?

    Are HTPCs going to last?

    I was thinking about building an HTPC, but the more I research the more I'm thinking it's not going to be worth it. With the hardware, and software manufacturers supporting DRM on different levels more and more, is it going to be a complete waste in a year or 2? I mean Vista is supose to...

    OK, I have lots of questions. I've searched through [H], and found a lot of useful information, but not all the answers i'm looking for. Here goes.. I want to add at least 2 SCSI drives in Raid 0 for video editing, swap disk, etc. It's probably overkill for most of my purposes, but that's...
