Sennheiser is amazing. I bought a $230 headset from them several months ago, and it sounds amazing.

New round of Dell Deals

http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/topi...bsd&ref=homepg

Good deal on the NAS, as well as good deal on a process if you are looking at building a computer in the near future.
July 13-17
July 20-24

It looks very cool and is one of those drool worthy gadgets even if it is only a 856x600 display.

What happens if your computer won't go down to that resolution? Will it scroll, or not display?

Good deal if you are looking for a NAS.

Everyone I know has nothing but good things to say about a Drobo.

Your computer might be able to create a custom resolution.

Actually the hard drive price is terrible IMO, NCIX has them on for less than $100 all the time, $99 right now actually, and they have a deal right now you get free shipping if you buy a $10 gift card.

I might look at the printer though, I'm fed up with my MFD.

Printers always scare me because of the cost or replacement ink/toner.

I've seen a few of these printer deals where it is cheaper to buy a new printer than purchase the ink cartridges for it.

$80 with free shipping for the Hard drive isnt a great deal but it is a deal. It looks to be sold out so it cant have been that bad.

I pulled the trigger on the Internet Radio. Hello listening to Fan960 clear, and 630ched for esks games.

I have an Internet radio that uses the same software, and my results with it have been pretty good so far. The only thing is, I find using wifi with it to be pretty bad. You are best off if you can plug it into an Ethernet cable.

It was at $80 earlier? Yeah that would have been a deal I would have bought a couple, when I looked it was $129, so that's the amount I was referring to when I posted.

Oh for sure, you have to be careful about which one..

My MFD is at the end of its life, it's been close to going out the window a few times now. It won't feed paper properly anymore, the drivers are getting worse over time (THANKS HP!), and no indication if they'll make Windows 7 drivers for it.

I found one Brother MFD colour laser that is more expensive, but the toner cartridges are only $65 each.

Yeah, HP won't make a Vista driver for mine. Their instructions walk you through how do set up using the driver included with Windows. Yeah, that one totally takes advantage of the options you used to sell it to me.

Thing is I'm scared to spend any decent money on a printer now, because I don't know of which company has better driver support.

This Dell one is out, no Mac support.

Lexmark? Okidata? Xerox?
