Re: Monitor Black Outs!

I had a problem with a CRT once that did that, and it turned out to be a heat issue, stuck a fan on the side of it (house fan) and it was fine so I just bought another monitor.

Re: Right Angle Power Cable Needed

Oh damn, that's a first, most phillips were using standard A/C.

As stupid as this sounds, hit up the pawn shops because a lot of little devices like boom box, etc use that cable and you'll find right angle ones for certain models.

I bought one song off of Zune, and one off of iTunes - I can't really decide which way I want to go.

Re: Hardware Purchasing Poll

I've always been a jew when it comes to buying tech parts (I mean look at my signature).

Re: How Many PCs Do You Own?

Gateway GT5014 (Mild Rig)
Playstation 3 (It does everything my PC does, except for run actual things like photoshop)

We have about six other machines in this house, but too lazy to get up and look at all of them.

Try going into the device manager, delete the mouse and make sure and check the "DELETE DRIVER" - have new ones on deck though.

I'm limiting my self to one new game a month, or else I'll have no money left by the end of this month :)

Re: help with copying the Dark Knight and Wall-e DVDs on Vista

Why dont you just use the Digital Copy Code and CD that comes in the case with it? At least my Bluray version of Dark Knight let me copy it to a computer, so now I have the BluRay, Portable (on my PC), and PC Version (on my PC).
