I use NewEgg and Googlegear mostly. When I'm buying components to build a system, I usually buy some parts from both. I'll buy from whoever has free shipping on the items I want otherwise their prices are comparable.

Thanks for the response Ken. I've been doing some digging and found that Creative does not provide support for the IR Blaster, but does explain how to enable it. I guess they didn't want to get stuck supporting multiple configurations, etc. Something to play with over time. I'm still not...

Hello, I just purchased the Creative Video Blaster Digital VCR and I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers to. I'm hoping someone here would have gone through these already. The requirements only list a hard drive. Is there any difference in performance or quality between...

How about using an uninterruptible power supply, like those used for computers? They are getting inexpensive and most models will protect against both spikes and brownouts. I put one on my Toshiba 57HDX82 and have had no problems. In fact, the one I got was a Belkin that was on closeout at...

As promised, here's is the rebate info I have. The form is labelled Toshiba January Rebate Days and the address is out of Louisville, KY labelled program 2003-T2. The dealer said it was from their distributor, so you may have to look around at the smaller dealers. My store's name is next to...

Thank you Bob. I was split on which forum to post becuase I had a few different questions. I've already gathered a lot of interesting, and useful, information by scanning the recent posts. Fred

I'm planning on purchasing a rear projection HDTV for my Living Room. I've been looking at the Toshiba 57H82 at Best Buy (primarily because they have the 24 month no interest deal). I'm also planning on purchasing the Onkyo HTS-650. First question, What do people think of the 57H82 and the...
