    Life's too short for rebates

    Is it just me? I used to go to extreme lengths for hot deals and if it meant filling out a rebate form or two, I'd willingly do so. That's stopped. I get PO'ed when I see deal threads with AR's included or even worse when they are too f'in' lazy to include that in their so called hot deal even...

    1and1 hosting...be careful

    So my wife wanted to get a website up for her business a couple years ago. We chose 1 & 1 because of their blanket advertising and rates. She never got the website up but did use the email part for awhile. She finally got a different domain and web hosting account earlier this year with a...

    Z560 Control Pod Fried...Replacements?

    I've had a set of Logitech Z560 speakers for about 3 years and last week they went silent. I'm certain that the control pod has died. Can't find any parts on the Logitech site and I REALLY do NOT want to go trolling on eBay for one since they appear to die fairly consistently. Can I use like an...

    FPS Epsilon PSU's OEM versions $109/$128

    How about OEM version for less? NOT! The last post on this thread raised the real deal product and the units I found at Buy.com are NOT the Epsilons...they are the blingless GLC models. Sorry folks!

    FS: Evga FX5900SE

    I'm selling my 6 month old FX5900SE. I haven't oc'ed or flashed the BIOS so it's been handled with kid gloves. It's a very sweet card...handles FarCry very well. Have all the original packaging and contents...no C.O.D. though it included America's Army and another like Ghost Recon or something...
