Price reduced – anyone interested at all?

Price reduced – no takers?

Need to make room, so for sale is my complete collection of HD-DVD movies, one of the best players for HD-DVD movies (the Toshiba HD-A35, with HDMI and analog outputs as well if needed), and also the XBox HD-DVD drive that can be connected to your PC or Mac to access those discs, too. The player...

I have for sale the Pioneer Elite CLD-59 in the original box, with manuals, remote, and with it I also have the Pioneer RFD-1 demodulator (also in the original box) that allows to play Dolby Digital (AC-3) movies on any regular home theater receiver with a digital input. This player was...

My steelbook has space for a 3rd disc on the left, anyone else? Would be perfect for the non-existing 3D disc. ;)

The way to get these Best Buy exclusives is to order them for pickup the morning of their release as at that point you will be able to select pickup at your local store. Should really be done before the store opens, so they can put a copy aside. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to do that for...

When you're wiping your drive, only select to write over it once, everything else is a complete waste of time. -Christian

No longer have a need for this, but great for smaller places. Completely spotless Stewart Firehawk screen, fully framed. Still on the wall and can be demo'ed. $500 OBO. Local only, for obvious reasons. -Christian

Only that it's not hardwired to the mainboard: -Christian

If you are deleting any data from your internal drive after copying it to the external one, it's no longer a backup. This is important, because when your external drive fails, you lose everything that wasn't stored somewhere else. So basically you want to do two things: perform a backup of...

DisplayPort (and thus miniDP on all current Macs) is actually a superset of HDMI. As mentioned, so far only the latest MacBooks that were just announced offer sound over the miniDP jack as well. I'm still hoping the previous generation can get sound enabled over their miniDP jacks as well via a...

I have the first gen 24" iMac from late 2006, and replaced the drive in it not too long ago. If you can find the service manual online for your machine, you'll get a good idea whether it's something you want to try. I was a little hesitant at first, but ultimately it wasn't that hard at all, you...

Brett, I'm not trying to be argumentative either, but I'm afraid you make a couple of misrepresentations with regards to data recovery procedures that I don't want to let stand in order to avoid that people are getting the wrong impression. First of all, if the data is valuable at all, an...
