Many pleasing features - if bought on sale...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - I have seen this case priced at as much as $69.99. Even with the included power supply, that's a bit high for this build quality level. Consider this a budget case with perks, pay accordingly, and you'll be very pleased. Construction,...

Made my annual trip to Radio Shack worthwhile.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - Generally, I avoid Radio Shack - likely for the same reasons every other intelligent person avoids them. They are overpriced, have annoying sales people, a pathetic return policy, don't give rain checks, give out incorrect technical information, ... I...

Waste of Money

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - I tried these noise cancelling headphones, as Radio Shack had them on sale. Advertised, "list $49.95" sale - 19.99." Turns out - on-line, other sellers offer these regularly at $26 or so. I paid $11 with coupon - and frankly - they suck...

What Abit boards are supposed to be.

Fri, 8 Jul 2005 20:39:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - This is a really nice board. Abit has been sliding badly the past couple of years. Apparently trying to capture some of the value market - after dominating the enthusiast market which they practically invented. The features include a really...

NOT your daddy's Abit board. SADLY.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - Most geeks know that about 7 years ago, Abit's business model was transformed with a drive to make enthusiasts dream boards. The developement of Abit's jumperless, bios based, "Softmenu" cpu configuration utility was the most significant leap in...

For just a little more $ you'll get a lot more sound...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - I returned these speakers. That should tell you a lot. I then bought a set of logitech z-640's off of buy.com for $70 with a $20 rebate (so, $50 final cost.)

Please read my review of that item to learn the many, MANY reasons why I love them...

I've been pleasantly surprised.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - * Be advised - this unit is listed twice on epinions, exactly the same unit, and again as a Compaq unit. This review is also under the other 'exact same unit' listing. They are all the same drive.

I'm going to keep this review brief - we all...

What an improvement over my last experiment!

Mon, 10 Mar 2003 18:03:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pcmaster - Having had 4 channels or more over the last 4 years, and never - and I mean it - never hooking up the rear channel, i now had 2 machines with 6 channel, so I decided I finally need add to my standard 2 speaker setup. Geez, what a chore:

First,...

Definitely for audiophiles, not Boom-Heads

I bought this online, because it looked nice, and because I had already bought Audiobahn tweeters which practically can shatter my windows, if not my eardrums.

This speaker has a cast aluminum frame, not stamped...
