    So I really want a Blackberry Pearl 8120...

    ...but I can't find anywhere I can buy one other than the AT&T website. For AT&T, that is. T-Mobile seems to be just lousy with them, but I'd rather not muck about with the whole unlocking business. Anybody know of anyone other than the AT&T website that I could buy one from? With or without...

    Quick opinion poll for new monitor

    I'm fairly confident that I'm going to have to buy a new monitor within the next week, as my beloved VX922 is going to die soon. I had started a thread about it, but it went nowhere, and the problem has gotten worse, so on to phase two. I like 19", but since everything seems to be widescreen...

    VX922 nearing end of life?

    I've got a Viewsonic VX922 that I've loved dearly since the day I got it, but recently I've started to notice a faint flicker, like the backlighting is no longer constant. It's very subtle, and I can hardly notice it at all. I'm guessing this means that my beloved monitor is dying, but maybe I'm...

    Case fans

    This might not be the best place to ask, but I'm sure someone can help out. For a "project" I'm working on, I need 3 50mm fans, but I can't seem to find any for cheap. Online, shipping is at least $15 (!) and locally, they're way too expensive ($14 a piece at Radio Shack - no way I'm paying $40...

    Outdated request... AGP card reccomendation?

    I know that nobody in their right mind uses AGP anymore, but my roommate just bought a desktop from a friend of ours which is running on integrated graphics (ewww). This thing lags playing flash games, honestly. So I figure AGP cards have got to be cheap by now, but want to know what would be...

    Budget build for roommate - $300-350

    My roommate is looking to build a desktop to replace his old laptop on a budget - say $300 to $350. I have an Asus P5B that I'm not using that I'll donate to the cause, but other than that this is a clean build, meaning everything down to the case and a monitor. He doesn't need much in the way...
