    MOTO Xoom vs. ASUS eePad Transformer

    I talked myself into the Xoom. I do really like that Width and length on the Xoom is smaller while they are both 10.1" screens. Xooms front is mostly all screen while the Transformer more eadging. I can live without an IPS panel ......as....I'd be more inclined to put a privacy layer on the...

    MOTO Xoom vs. ASUS eePad Transformer

    You know what is even more evil? I am seriously considering getting the iPad 2 64gb. One of the biggest selling point to me when I got my Moto Droid @2 years ago was that I can swap out memory cards for big time storage. I have yet to make use of that...

    MOTO Xoom vs. ASUS eePad Transformer

    Only real problem I have is I can get the Xoom today, but who knows when I can get the 32gb Asus Transformer at a price that isn't jacked up to hell.

    I am. Was listed in stock for Concord and Sacramento. Now only Sac is listed as in stock. How accurate that is I don't know.

    ASUS Eee Pad Transformer coming Tuesday 4/26

    Besides a big screen, what can the Asus Transformer or the Xoom do that a smart phone like a Droid Bionica (once it releases, hopefully with more ram) can't do? A couple Fry's within driving distance of where I live has them (only checked 32gb version) in stock for pick-up only.

    Nintendo Wii will be $149 @ Walmart starting Dec 5th...

    If normal to you means giving them $$$$$$$$$$...money, greenbacks, dollars.....that is good anywhere in the US and many places outside of the US for coupons good only at their stores as being just as good as $$$$$$$$$, then I guess you're normal. For me, $50 coupons or gift certificate is not...

    Motorola Droid - $120 shipped w new verizonwireless account @ Dell

    I also spend $120 a month for cable tv and internet. I always buy starbucks french roast instead of cheap coffee, many different primium beers and whiskeys instead of whatever is cheapest. No doubt there is someone out there that will go...."That much $$$ for primium beer,,,,,," ..."That much...

    Amazon Black Friday Hard Drive Deals

    Wanted 1tb caviar blacks and got a couple off ebay for $89 after 10% cashback (+free shipping...which if you live in Hawaii only some ebay shops and Amazon actually do, otherwise it'd have cost me $35+ to ship from places like newegg) I didn't search too hard for caviar blacks under 1tb, but saw...

    Imagio versus Droid, pictorial comparison

    I just opted for the $1.99 a month for extended warrenty. Had too many friends, read too many stories about people who did pay up the ass for a supposedly whateverthefrack happens deal, you're covered, but when it came time to collect, they were left holding the bag. Got sent this third party...

    Sapphire 5870 & 5850 in stock now on Newegg

    That bestbuy one is listed as backordered. Been that way since 2 days ago. I am guessing it's the same boat as any other place that will let you order but doesn't actually have stock. Was in the market for a couple 5850s and was then going for a GT300, but looks like Nvidea's answer will be...

    Places that have the 5850 in stock?

    I had 2 XFX5850's on "order" with Amazon when it was $259. Remebered this place that was stocking i975's ahead of other places and checked em for vid cards. Sure enough, they seem to have 5850's and 5870's in stock. Think they had 3 different makers for 5850's and just Asus for 5870 that are...

    Asus 5870 $359.99 @ SuperBiiz.com

    No, it is not that. Yes, that has something to do with the short supply of 58xx cards, but that has nothing to do with ewiz's conduct. Hey.....you can still go to their site right now and order this card. They will be glad to take your $$ and hold for you a while as they email you the...

    1TB HD - Fry's B&M $59.99

    Hawaii itself almost makes up for not having a Frys and for the crazy shipping charges, but it still falls short on not having an In&Out and good Mexican food :(

    Price gouging

    I know if I was selling something, I'm gonna get what I can. MSRP? I don't think AMD/ATI should step in, I think things should be done like how eVGA does it. They (eVGA) has an MSRP and they (eVGA) actively sells their own shit on their own online site at their MSRP. Other places...egg.zzf...

    I went ahead and orderd two of these at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002Q4U5EY/ref=ox_ya_os_product They do not have stock....no one has stock. It is not a time crunch for me to have the cards. No build is waiting on, more of an upgrade on a currently running system and it's...

    5850/5870 deals at super biiz

    You know how some retailers get around that? They sell stuff they have stock on, not stuff that they expect to have stock on. How does newegg do it? I have ordered 50+ times from them, I have never gotten a "sorry, we don't have stock of the item" email from them. How about Provantage? They have...

    Great. How come these guys "ewiz" always do this? Bait and switch in many forms. This is the third time they offer a deal, claiming they have stock only to cancel it on me.I read many times before about them misadvertising shit that I didn't jump on as well. I got in on that deal pretty much...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    I am sorry, when I said I can probably fit the 550w PSU with no farther mod...........what I meant was "I" (as in ME) can fit it with no farther mod because I already cut the hell outta the optical drive bracket to fit the 470w psu and the 550w is .37" deeper, but otherwise the same size...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    Ordered the Apollo today. It is about .37" deeper then the 470w version I have already fitted. Worse case measurement, I think I have about .5" before PSU butts into optical drive with the 470w psu, so I think I can probably fit the 550w 80+ efficiency one with no farther mod and if need be I am...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    Athena Power recently released an 80+ eff certified micro psu (actually two) The Apollo and the Hercules, both 550w, think Apollo is "active PFC" and slightly larger then the athena 470w I already fitted in the case with minor modding and the Hercules is slightly smaller then my 470w, so...

    You can get an esata to sata cable http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120129 and use the esata connector on the mobos I/O panel. Cut a notch in the case directly under the esata (red connector ad lucky its te very bottem one) connector and run the cable under the mobo...

    Silverstone SG05 & two 3.5" HDD ?

    I have no doubt the case can fit 3 or 4, maybe even 5 3.5" HDD's. Drill out the rivets for the 2.5" HDD holder and get it out of the way. Then make brackets to hang the other 3.5" below the stock location. At work so can't check, but pretty sure that spot will fit it depending on your mobo/ram...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    A little progress on making y my CPU/NB block: There's a .375" copper plate for the base, a .125" copper plate for the intermediate top, a .375" aluminum and actal plate for the top. All of them are just rough cuts,well oversized, which although waste some material since I will be mllling...

    X58 Mini Itx?

    Although it is not really an ITX, this shuttle http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101082&Tpk=x58%20shuttle is damn close to ITX size (if you build for performance over HTPC minimalistics) and has 2x PCIx16 slots....although too close together to SLI vid cards that...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    The square one's fitting is The round one is The hole to hole distance on the mobo is 2.5" or 63.5mm . I figured if the round one didn't line up with the mounting holes as is, I could always oblong the retention ring's hole or even make it a slot hole so that t could fit "between...

    ZOTAC GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi

    The enzotech heatsink fits fine with no changes I have to dig up a 40mm fan, but th mount for it looks like it will work great. Probably alot less vibrating/noise then just screwing it directly on The scythe shurikan will fit over the enzo NB heatsink so long a there is no fan on...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    It will fit the GTX285. Although wheter a 470w athena psu will be enough is a whole nother story and it's not like there is a better option. I read someone put in an ATX psu, but I'd have to see it. Installing a slightly larger micro-ATX, I had to cut down the Slime drive rack quiet a bit and...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    Made the cut to fit a GTX260 Was just guessing on how much to cut away since I didn't have the vid card with me. Had to nibble some more out later to actually fit it. Got rid of the 3.5" HDD holder. Also had to remove the 2.5" hdd older and then cut the optical slim drive holder down...

    I ordered one of these http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=54_197&products_id=22611 . It should fit. I measure 2.5" between mouning holes which should fall right in there for the biggest mounting ring for the heatsink....or possibly just a little...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    No, it is too wide. The stock PSU is just wide enogh to fit with vid cards in, that shuttle psu will go right into the area for the vid card. You can go maybe 1" deeper and maybe a little bit thicker for the PSU, but not wider unless you hae no intention ofusing a vid card...but if you didn't...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    I just stripped my build back down and tried to fit my GTX260. Like I said earler, it is just shy of 10.5". The GTX260 will go in, but pushes against the cases front too much for my comfort. However, you can make a cut out on the front in the shape of the GTX260's front and I am betting that...
