    I will NEVER purchase another MSI product again, here's why.

    Although it sucks to have a mobo die, to EXPECT any compensation or service after the product is out of warranty is wrong. They have no obligation whatsoever to honor something they didn't promise. Of course, there are those rare cases where the manufacturer or retailer will go out of their way...

    Suitable replacement for TJ07-BW?

    Hi, I have been using my TJ07-BW for a few years now and it has been the most solid case I have owned by far (also the most expensive by far). Recently I have had the opportunity to work with the Corsair 600T and I must say that, feature wise, I prefer it over the TJ07. Build quality...

    Crippling internet usage in Canada

    not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I felt that this should be addressed. for those that haven't heard of it, bell canada (a canadian ISP) wishes to limit monthly caps to 25GB for ALL ISPs, thereby crippling our internet usage. the government wishes to overturn this and wants...

    Gigabyte Holiday [H] Give-Away!!!

    I've been looking to upgrade my rig for quite some time. I wasn't sure whether to go AMD this time around, but if I get either one of these motherboards, it'll make the decision that much easier. Thanks

    wow, thanks for that. i recall hearing something about a workaround, but wasn't sure how to go about accomplishing it. i'd be in for 2 if i didn't have to deal with customs (located in Canada)

    Smokin..OCZ OCZTVEND Vendetta Aluminum & Copper Intel/AMD $4.99 AR/AC/FS

    There should be a noticeable difference since the OCZ is only has a 9cm fan instead of the 12cm on the kingwin; the kingwin is bigger as well.

    GTX280 audio

    Hi, I've just today thought about using the DVI-HDMI adapter and S/PDIF cable on my GTX280 and for some reason I cannot get the audio working. I have attached the audio cable from the S/PDIF out on my mobo to the audio port on the GTX280...is there something else I have missed? (I have tried...

    HDD, not entire system, randomly restarting?

    Hi, I recently noticed that one (maybe 2) of my hard drives power off and power on a few seconds later. I have a dual boot system and it seems that the boot disk w/ XP is the one with the issue. I will be using Vista and I will hear a drive power down and then restart/spin-up again - similar...

    well, I have left some heatware feedback and I sincerely hope that will serve as a warning to others.

    FS/FT: Brand New EVGA 750i SLI FTW Motherboard - $150

    I have not thought about heatware atm, but ya, perhaps I should just give him that negative rating. well, as far as not getting my money back from him willingly, yes I would totally agree. So far, I've escalated PayPal's dispute system to see what they will do. No, I've not contacted an...

    well, I've submitted this message through PayPal's dispute system this morning and he still has yet to respond or refund my money:

    FS/FT: Brand New EVGA 750i SLI FTW Motherboard - $150

    It has been done, and perhaps I should have gone that route a while ago...seems I was too naive believing that he would eventually ship it. I had thought I be recieving it in 2 weeks at the latest and since he seemed to be in a rush to receive payment I had thought he would ship the next...
  35. M

    FS/FT: Brand New EVGA 750i SLI FTW Motherboard - $150

    Yes to the first, and No to the second... Ya, I had thought so. It's now 1AM EST and I have not yet heard back from him...I'll see if there is a notice of refund in the later in the day. Thanks for the help :).

    FS/FT: Brand New EVGA 750i SLI FTW Motherboard - $150

    It was brought to my attention, and at the time he asked for my account info, that he should have it already on hand from the previous payment right?
  37. M

    FS/FT: Brand New EVGA 750i SLI FTW Motherboard - $150

    He later replied, via email, asking what my paypal account was...I let him know what it is and am awaiting a refund.
