It's not the grammar that gives it away. It is the amount of STUPID content.
narlus said:aye, got the plextor. can't beat it w/ the rebate. and i've had good luck w/ the two plextor external drives i've had for about 4 years or so.
also got a printer (canon i900) and a PCI card to upgrade my USB to 2.0; newegg does own me.
BTW this is what I got
DVR|PIONEER DVR-108 DVD+/-RW% BG
$78.00
*DVD|TOSHIBA 16X SD-M1712 OEM %
$21.00
why'd you go w/ two different DVD drives? does the burner also burn cdrs?

I should do that again. Me and Cooter had quite the time with that. Maybe heavy machinery next.stosh said:

That would be a thread about you not showing up. I could find some balers to post up though.
hey loco, you ever get the feeling that you are annoying? just checking.
stosh/bomber, can you burn on the fly from drive to drive OK w/o making coasters? i've usually always burned from my hard drive.
i can't wait for the DVD burner...archiving mp3s is gonna be a lot easier.

No - not really.
true, as long as yr buffer size is large enough to handle, i guess it would be OK; it's boggling to think that some CDRs are up to 52x speeds... when i got mine, 8x was tops.
i've always just dumped to the HD though, out of habit.

I used to not want to do that, but it speeds things up and is easy enough to clean up. Plenty of space on most machines anyway.
Ahh..narlus said:
Most burning software lets you set a max ram buffer. I use Nero and It let's you set aside like 50% of system ram up to 80mb.
52x cd burning is scary, my cheap Lite-On drive sounds like a turbine engine at that speed.
A 4 minute burn is really nice though.

still *ghey* today bro
newegg ain't cuttin' it for me, tracking-wise. the only thing i've seen so far from the order status and fedex #s is a cable i ordered, and then yesterday i get my PCI card. still no clue about the printer and DVD drive...
when i log in, there's a place to check order status. all it says is that my order is at stage 2 (ie, "Order has been successfully charged. Additional address verification will be performed as needed. Please allow 1-2 business days before shipping. No Change orders will be allowed at this time.").
i did receive an email which has the tracking of part of my order (the USB cable), but no info on the other stuff i ordered, one of which i received yesterday.

no, still waiting on the printer and drive. so for all i know, it could be coming in 4 different shipments.

I got part of an order from Clif (really a co called consumerlink that sells Clif stuff) and all of it was there but some clif shots and some jerseys. I called and they were super cool. They sent the shots, plus some, but the jerseys were back ordered. I waited 5 weeks and called back. They said they were still back ordered, but I got them 3 days later. They paid freight that time. Definitely worth waiting for. 2 jerseys for $70, with a full zipper from Sugoi. Not really related, but the moral to the story is, call if you have problems.

I hate that crap.
well it's not really a big deal yet as i just ordered the stuff on tuesday or so. but, it would be nice to have it for the weekend so i can set up everything. just weird that i got info on one part of the shipment and not the others. i've had good luck w/ newegg before.loco-gringo said:

Almost ordered a preview monitor for an Epson printer from them a few weeks ago, but Circuit City was like $30 cheaper.
Not sure why.Newegg is generally way cheaper, but occasionally the stores (compUSA, Best Buy, etc,) will have some good spot deals or rebates.stosh said:
I've got some free shipping stuff from ebuyer.com, and they are dirt cheap. No tax to CA either. Takes like a week or more to get the stuff though. Really cheap if you don't need it right away.
Drop shipments. You get stuff from various warehouses depending on where/what it is.narlus said:
I've ordered music gear online and it happens all the time. I got an order for 24 pairs sticks that came from 2 different places.
Uh, they are about the worst for individual components. Ok prices on some stuff if you can get a rebate or a good sale.stosh said:
Comp USA is good for clearance items.
I'd stick with:
