    DIY - DVD rack

    I have been looking at hot and cold rolled steel tubing and it looks like around $15/6' sections and maybe less with 30 pieces? I'll need to call and see if they can do the threaded ends.

    DIY - DVD rack

    I've got a (I believe) Billy Bags dvd rack which isn't big enough for my DVD collection. I want to either reconfigure this one or just build a new one. The rack is something like a Pro-1000, but I can't be sure of the exact model. Anyway, what I want to do is make the rack 2-3' wider by...

    Philips Pronto TS1000

    Pronto TS1000 (little use) in original package with serial cable and manual. $100 shipped to continental US. I've also got a DS1000 (charger station) that I'm not sure if I'm wanting to keep or not. So, that may be up for sale too... I don't know the going rate on these, so feel free to...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    Wow, thanks for reminding me about those things... I still have them in boxes. Forgot all about them from almost 30 years ago. I too did the CC purchase. Not happy with myself, but to see the real dead Anakin.... that alone will be worth it. Sad that Lucas says the originals are dead...

    Weekly RoundUp 9-12-2006

    I just bit on the (ugh) SW discs... sense my excitement. I purchased from CC because of the price. They had stacks of lithos for each movie so I grabbed one of each. I'm sure I could have grabbed more, but didn't. Then a the front register there was a trilogy promo sign that they had a few of...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    I spent a lot of time, as others have on doing LD transfers myself. Being super critical of every little thing I never got results I liked. As others suggested multiple sources, multiple capture cards, Luma/Chroma seperation, averaging, etc. Too much work and never happy with the results. I...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    Crap, I was all set to pass on this set until now... It really looks "better"? If the other comment about the subtitles not being hardcoded in the frame I think this might be the way to go. I still haven't seen them, but I'm thinking the RP-91 should be able to do a good job filling the...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    Jon, was that in response to my question? I had read the review, but didn't find an answer. I could have missed it, I'm currently sick and not feeling super. I was more amazed at which screenshots I liked more. I'm waiting for a SE version of the CC lithos, that old stuff looks like...

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    Coming into this late I have a dumb question that may be answered several times earlier... I see this release is sourced off the laserdisc source, but is it any better? I haven't seen that this is better than the DE LD set. I'm still impressed with the DE LD quailty for what it is. I'm...

    DDD 20% Off Sale?

    I don't agree that what DDD was right. True the sale ran for many days, but as often is the case this sneaks up on you. When you discover there's a big sale you spend some time creating your shopping list and getting it right. This often takes many days for those of us who lead busy lives...

    Radio Shack: HDMI Cable $34.97

    I actually had a friend who worked there, but... from what I heard you could have basically walked in and asked for a coupon. Coupon was needed for every sale as they staple it to the receipt. I'm now waiting for a home purchase to go through so I have somewhere to use all these items. =)

    Radio Shack: HDMI Cable $34.97

    Just FYI radio shack has a Analog/Digital A/V Signal converter. It's really a compsite->s-video and analog audio to digital audio converter for what was $50, but now down to $4 It converts composite to s-video and analog audio to optical (tos-link). RS Part 15-1242 I haven't had a chance...

    DeepDiscountDVD 20% discount begins 6/17 to 6/25

    WOW, I can't believe it... I've got nothing I want/need at this time. However, I'm sure there's got to be something I'm forgetting. I wonder how listing the codes screws up the marketing? You know the codes are tied to a specific advertising path. I'd like to suggest using ones tied with...

    New Apollo 13 DVD

    Not to start an OT flamable thing, but... last week the local NBC channel has a show called TechNow (cannel 11 in the bay area) And they actally were talking about something very similar, and 100% legal. They were talking about ripping your CDs and then selling your CDs and being able to legally...

    Incredibles store-exclusive bonus features?

    This isn't the BB litho, but it's something I have and wanted to show off. Mine is small, like 4x8 or something and numbered! When I was at BB I did see what they were offering, but I didn't get to see the actual image, just the outter packaging. It was big, like LP sized. In fact I thought...

    OneCall and CC

    Like Steve said... One Call is a retailer, but you'd have to be in the area for a PM I'd guess. The retail stores go under Huppin's name. I've had good experiences with one call too! I'd say... "tell 'em I sent yah" =-)

    Weekly RoundUp 10/26/04

    my warehouse (redwood city, ca) had Mulan for $19.99 with the $5 rebate. I wish the price out the door was $14.99... Those FYE stores seem to all have a different plan on pricing.

    Hmmm, looks like my last post had the same "issue" not cool, but I'm not fixing it. I'll let my 13 line post take up 27 lines of space.

    Weekly RoundUp 10/26/04

    If anyone finds a review of the new vs old mulan could you post? I can put a frame grab up for comparison if someone give me a frame (time code) they want to compare. Did they do a Home Theater Mix on this relase too? I really don't konw if I want the double dip other than to...

    Weekly RoundUp 10/19/04

    My results were pretty good... I did get The Good the Bad and the Ugly for $7.50. I can't complain. Thanks for the heads up! =) I also got Arrested Dev S1, just what I've wanted, I can toss the homemade series I did. =) I called costco before heading down, they said they spongebob...

    The target I checked had the Good Bad and Ugly, but it wasn't the special edition. I have to hit a different store tomorrow, I'm looking to upgrade my regular version.

    WARNING - your Deep Discount DVD are not secure!

    Yeah, in the scope of time and space this was "short time" but in the computerized scope which he's talking about this is a HELL of a long time. I hate to say it, because I love DDD, but I really think someone will get the idea to sue DDD for violation of privacy or something else. I just...

    Weekly RoundUp 10/5/04

    Tony a lot of manufacturers are removing the inserts. I think it's just a cost cutting step, but that's all I know. It's more rare to get a card these days.

    Can anyone confirm sightings of Sponge Bob S2? I haven't been able to locate it and it looks like it's not out until the 19th. Did any wallyworld folks get a better price on Aladdin Gift Set than $39.99?
