Re: Headlight Lens Restorer Kit - Heatsink Polish Test

I've used plain toothpaste on headlight lenses and it works to remove the fogginess as well... but is an extreme PITA to use as it takes a long time. had me wishing I had polishing wheels for my dremel.

Re: Corsair Memory Designs Enthusiast ATX Case

it looks like the case has many of the mods my 900 is getting in the next few weeks. Makes me wonder if Corsair found my to do list, as I've currently misplaced it. Hmmmm? I like the fact that they are making the face out of aluminum, and not plastic like the Antecs. I like the looks of the window a...

Re: In debate about upgrades

I'm in a similar quandary. I REALLY want an i7 for my gaming rig/test bench, but I can't justify the expense (with my wife). Fortunately, after a few hours of beating his head against the desk, Bwall was able to pull my lowly E8400 from 3.0Ghz to 3.8Ghz stable where I wasn't able to get any overcloc...

Re: Newegg shipping change?

yeah, it's a nightmare. I had the same problem on a small package (microSD card) and I know some of my buddies have had problems as well. My order shipped DHL from Memphis, TN to somewhere KY just outside of Cincinnati, Ohio where it sat for 3 days. From there to Kansas City, KS where it was handed ...

I have the same problem with Excel. If I don't shut down Folding before I launch Excel, the entire world screeches to a halt and usually blue screens my machine.

Blu-Ray Drives... anyone using this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136133 Was looking at Newegg earlier today and found this drive. I like the fact that it's a combo drive, for both HD and Blu-Ray, though I don't own any of either right now, I would probably snag a few HD's if I find them cheap. Has to be bla...

Re: 4830 folding

I've never tested an 8600gt... but the Folding performance on the HD 4830 is a bit lacking. I would guess the 8600GT would be better in Folding.
