Good Home Theater Starter!

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 04:53:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I bought this JVC Rx778vbk off of eBay about two months ago, to go with a bunch of Wharfedale speakers I bought from uBid. I was looking forward to hooking up my computer's sound card to the receiver and being able to watch DVD's, play games, and so on...

Durable Duron Does Double Duty

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 04:50:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Well after I had received all the components for my new Duron-based PC, I began to assemble them. Unfortunately, my power supply died a few minutes out of the box, and I thought I had fried my CPU. Since I was quite frusterated, I took it, threw it...

It's a Wonder I Ever Survived Without It

Sat, 7 Jul 2001 04:25:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Well, not exactly. But still, I absolutely LOVE my ATI AIW Radeon.

To start with, it is based around ATI's Radeon GPU, which is paired with 32mb of 166mhz DDR RAM. While that is not as fast as the Radeon 64mb's 183mhz, the Radeon core does...

Cool for Any Month...

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 03:44:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - "Addictive," my girlfriend laments, when describing Cool For August. I must agree... Their combination of almost haunting, yet mystical vocals, addictive melodies, and sometimes raucous backing guitar lends Cool For August's music a unique...

Nearly a Hole In One!

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 21:38:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I bought this game to upgrade my PGA '99. While outwardly it is very similar, after a while I realized that it was far superior to its predecessor. PGA 2000 offers better gameplay, more courses, more objects, an improved designer, a better interface,...

NetZero: Not a Zero; Almost a 10...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 08:54:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Netzero isn't the best thing since sliced bread, but it isn't too shabby either. The best price for anything is free and that's exactly what Netzero offers, free internet, 24/7. You get what you pay for, but even so, this is truly a good deal.

Is it Really Liquor?!?!?

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 08:21:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum is an amazing creature. Born as 70 proof alcohol, every time I drink it I find that it hardly seems that evil. While one could argue that I am nuts, I would prefer to think that it's the smooth spiced taste of Cap'n Morgan's...

Archived Outdoors Reviews: The ONLY Fly You'll Ever Need...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 07:56:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Out of the myriad of fly patterns for Rainbow Trout, I have a select few stalwarts that I use time and time again. However, one fly stands out above the rest for all-purpose trout fishing. Whether you choose to fish small creeks, mid-size streams,...

Short but Deadly

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 05:05:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Glaze is one of those where you look at the scorecard and mentally project yourself as having a ton of birdies, and a great final score. Of course, why wouldn't you? The course is extremely short, and most of the holes aren't too constricted. However,...

S3 Diamond Viper Ultra 770: TNT2 Chipset Still A Bargain...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 04:36:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - While the TNT2 chipset is nearing two years old, the only better video cards out there are the GeForces. At only around $70 currently, the Diamond Viper v770 series is a great buy for those on a budget. I bought a v770 in July 1999, and I have yet to...

ZipCD 8x4x32x...worth the $$$...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 04:06:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - To sum it up, the Iomega ZipCD 8x4x32x internal IDE burner is by far the best CD burner out there for the money. I've seen them as low as $119, after rebates, and for an 8x burner, this is unmatched. Luckily, the money isn't for junk-- Iomega has a...

LowestFare.com: Great Researching Tool

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 03:25:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - Although I've never bought tickets through Lowestfare.com, I've been able to use it very effectively in my quest to find the lowest prices anywhere. I'd rather book through a local travel agent, to support the small-town business, so I use...

Cattle Car Inc....

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 02:59:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I don't mind sacrificing a bit of comfort for a cheaper price on a flight, so Sun Country Air fits my standards. However, on the route that I frequent (MSP-SEA), they offer only one flight daily, and the prices aren't all that much better than their...

Northwest: The Only Way From Minneapolis to the Pacific N.W.

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 00:56:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I've had the pleasure of flying Northwest three times in the past year from Minneapolis to the Pacific Northwest. Oddly enough, I have yet to purchase a ticket! No, I'm not suggesting some scheme to get aboard free. I am a poor college student in...

Archived Outdoors Reviews: Noodle Rod...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 23:33:05 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I've owned a Fenwick Eagle rod for a few years now. It is a 8 1/2', 6-7 weight. Unfortunately, it is relegated to my garbage bin, or at least to the depths of the garage. I gave it a fair trial run, replacing my trusty old Cortland for half a summer...

Possibly the Best First Trout Rod...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 23:18:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - I was about 8 at the time, and I had just realized that fishing, not to mention flyfishing, was a blast. I'd been raised in an outdoorsy family, so I of course coveted my own fly rod. After saving up the $35 to buy one, I proudly trapsed down to Sport...

Quack Attack is Back...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 21:57:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - University of Oregon football has always been fun to watch, or at least for the past several years. Athletes like Akili Smith, Bill Musgrave, Saladin McCullough, Reuben Droughns, Kenny Wheaton, Alex Molden, and currently Joey Harrington, Rashad Bauman,...

P-III 450 is flawless...

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 20:50:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kinneys - In July of 1999, I decided it was time to upgrade from the old P-100 box that was languishing in my basement. Of course, like so many others, I lack large sums for capital improvements, so the project was on a budget. I wanted a system capable of...
