I had ordered a Canon Lide 20 and Nero 6.....

Come on folks let see your purchase and see how it goes...

Canon Digital Rebel EOS SLR 6.3 Megapixel Camera icon_mrgreen.gif

It works with my existing Canon EOS 35mm lenses/flashes, etc. as well so it's pretty kickass.

A few days ago I bought a new Asus A7N8X-X motherboard, a Speeze FalconRock CPU fan, and an Aspire X-Dreamer II ATX case, with a 350W PSU. They all arrived perfectly intact, are were realtiviely cheap, too, about 140$ total. Just yesterday, my Dad bought a new WD 40GB 7200 RPM hdd, a cheap biege case with a 350W PSU, an Athlon XP 2400+, a ECS L7S7A(?) motherboard, a Crucial 256 mb pc2100 stick of ram, and a Corsair 512mb pc3200 stick. The Corsair stick is for me, but all the rest is his new comp. 400$ total, not bad for a completely new comp, minus cd-rom and video.

Thanks BigO!

The only problem with it is ya gotta have a 3 wire fan on all controllers as the alarm will go off if it detects 0 rpm... (Minor Detail... just need another 3 wire fan icon_smile.gif) Would have been nice if the reho's had a click off position...

Some dont like the red/green color as the color of the LCD changes to match the knob color when you switch the display.

For $40 I'm happy with it.

I had a 2100+ b4 biggy. It is going to my wife's computer, which has a 1700+. It is going to a yet unknown lucky individual....details to follow. icon_wink.gif

Nothing, I am currently bored with PC's when not at work.
Mandark
I am kinda at that point too J.

I only upgrade when needed. My wife needs a computer to do her Master Thesis (cause I use mine all the time for school) so we are gonna build one up.

Ane when I upgrade, I buy good (not the best usually.. except for PSU's) PC parts. I don't just upgrade for a 'faster' box.... what's the point? I can play every game out there if I choose on this one.

These computers are going to last me until I cannot run the OS's that I want or the software that I want.

It's does indeed kick ass!
I didn't really need it per se but found I was supporting them much more often at work. Told them if they wanted me to support peoples personal PDA's they would need to get me one. Glad I got one with the MP3 player. Took it skiing yesterday and it worked great although a removeable battery would be better - get just under 4 hours on a single charge. Nice to have Avantgo.com back

I tried ripping something I recorded many years ago from my old Sony camcorder into my comp.... seems to work okay.... just have to wait for the duration of the tape's runtime.... as long as you can get a video & audio output to go into the machine, it's supposed to work....

Um, not only could I send little movies, but the point would be for some live action!! (And I am talking about regular action, here.) But movies, I could just use my DV cam!!

I didn't install any of the progams that came with the cam, though...just the drivers.
