That print server sounds awesome. Is this just for today or is it for the weekend?

i have no clue, it wasnt in their ads and non of the price tags had good through dates on them like all the other deals do, i think they r just clearing out stock of airlink stuff.

FYI Airlink cards are Realtek cards with a different name (had to deal with one 2 days ago).
FYI replicating an overheating network card is a PITA.

never had any probs realtek nic's in my past and this new gigabit one i poped in my server provides excellent bandwidth and was very easy to install configure and hasnt shown n e probs.
Also forgot to mention that the gigabit nics come with a low profile bracket as well
That HDMI cable should be avoided...it's not 1.3

lol... im sure it would work jsut fine for a 1.3 connection... even tho most tv's and components dont even use anything the 1.3 spec has to offer.

Baah.
There are NO good computer stores anywhere near me, and no computers shows come around any more either.
Dayton, OH area and the best I have is (not) Best Buy and Office Depot.
Used to have CompUSA but they're gone now. I couldn't buy a heatsink anywhere even if I wanted to.
My only option for components is ZipZoomFly, Directron, FlEbay, Newegg, TigerDirect, Xoxide, and OCforums. To be honest, I get the most from OCF.

acually it doesent, i bought one of those a while ago and it just doesent work with any thing hdmi that i have, vizio tv, 360, laptop, computer nothing worked
also frys have the dlink DIR-615 wireless n router for $40, same as newegg but no shipping if you buy in store, i grabbed on on tuesday and its pretty painless although QoS doesent work well on clear wire and clear wire causes sparatic data rates but stays close to 100mb/s its also 20/40Mhz, not advertised on the box at all

hmm12 of '07 is your post so its about the same age as my tv, mine must just be extraordinarly picky or mabe i got a bad cable.
thats why i was askin 1.3 devices are backwards compatatable generally but i am sure some are better at doing it than others and i am sure newer sets are better at it aswell

wow dang i should've looked here sooner, I needed some gigabit switches and some gigabit nic's. Would've upgraded my home network nicely for fast file streaming to the 360 and the ps3.
