Sam's club has a (hitachi i think?) HD-DVD player for an amazing price of $70. Yes I know it's offically dead tech, BUT it will upconvert regular DVDs to 720p/1080i. It also included The Bourne Ultimatum and 300 on HD-DVD AND an HDMI cable. When you figure a standard upconverting player will run you $50-100 and NOT include a cable or free movies, this is a fantastic buy. Oh, I also saw a Toshiba for $100 at Bustbuy. Not sure if it included HDMI or movies tho.

I like the MS6 over the Legacy GT because: It looks better, and it's not a boxer motor. Means I can actually work on this motor.

Does anyone have any experience with these cars? Is there an aftermarket for them?

Ginji yum yum sauc is the original. Can't be beat!

ok, some people don't unerstand: These are strictly a novelty. It's a toy for horsing around in a parking lot.

Oh. My. God. I'm entering complex command prompts, creating multiple partitions on a flash drive, and editing MBRs. Did you seriously just tell me how to access my bios? Hey, is my computer turned on? Sarcasm eludes all of you. And yes, my lappy is USB bootable, and yes I've edited the boot order.

Shit front end, shit rear end, shit interior, mediocre motor. Seriously? You thought this car was bad ass?

USB what? How do I bios? ¿que?

I think my usb's MBR is bad. I can't figure out lilo to replace it. Anyone?

I've been playing with a Ubuntu 7.10 live disk. It just runs too slow and I'd like the speed and persistance of booting off a USB drive. I followed this write up, but I can't boot off the USB drive. My bios says there it isn't a bootable HD. Is anyone familar with Ubuntu? Know of a way to do this? Also, i should mention that this command is incorrect: Type cp -rf casper disctree dists install pics pool preseed .disk isolinux/* md5sum.txt README.diskdefines ubuntu.ico casper/vmlinuz casper/initrd.gz /media/ubuntu710/ The correct command is ....casper/initrd.gz /media/disk/ Thanks linux geeks.

Desktop? I haven't touched my desktop in a while. Lappys are where it's at! That being said, I'm an AMD fan boy and i wouldn't buy an AMD processor atm. The new wolfsdale and C2Q are just better processors. And 8800XX or ATI 3870(x2!) > 9600GT

I want a better angle.

Has this guy gotten back to anyone?

That music was horrible. That video was boring too. I only made it through the 1st minute or so.

While I'm happy the format skirmish is over, I'm sad that Blu-ray won. I wonder that will happen with current HD-dvd players. I wonder if a rom flash will allow HD-dvd players to play blu-ray.

Did you pay by credit card? If so just call your credit card company and dispute the charge. I've been through this before with a mustang performance company out of california. I got all my money back.

I like actually owning a corporeal media. I'd rather have a disk than a HDD based player with limited storage capacity.

Just know that this is going to have an integrated Intel chipset. Prob a GMA900/950. Those chipsets aren't rated to run Vista( which is a huuuuge resource hog). Also, it's cheaper to buy your ram thru Newegg. 2 GB DDR2 667 = $43 shipped to your door. And opt for the Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz minium. Don't expect to play any video games on it.

If you decide to part it out I could use the MAF.

Some of these places look really interesting. I'll have to try them all eventally. What are the prices like at these places? I'd like to keep it under $200 for 2 people.

Yes. Or maybe they call it 1 exemption, whatever the correct IRS terminology is the results are the same.
