I am 50 miles from a tower, should I buy the ultimate instead???

That might be a good idea. I would check http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/maps/ to see the estimated channels you can get in your area.

You might pick up the stronger stations but chances are you need an antenna outside the house on a pole. Look at Denny's antennas dennysantennaservice( dot )com for some help. There should be an antenna selector map for your area.

Get the Extreme with the amplifier, it works great at those distances. You may need to place in a window towards the transmission tower in your area. Use the included power adapter, as it produces a bit more current and seems to work better. I have used the Extreme at those distances, and I am receiving 40 plus channels.

For me it's definitely worth it because I hate waiting on computers, especially when I've a lot of data to transfer which I often do. If you don't have a lot of data to transfer or if you don't mind waiting a little on computers to do their thing, then save your $24 and go buy a couple of drinks and celebrate your at-easeness in life.USB 3.0 is extremely fast. No, it won't limit the 7200 rpm.

Brother, You can buy without problem because the internal space of the tower is cool, only recommend to pay attention to the coolant if needed, good luck!

I would go with 900MHz links, at least 30DBi gain dishes point-to-point. Bear in mind that none of this kind of approach works unless you have clear unobstructed line of sight between transmission/reception points. Also, due to earth's curvature the horizon disappears at 20 miles, so both ends of the line will need to be considerably elevated. You will need to have a professional survey performed before going further. My experience with Ubiquiti products is outstanding. Have a site survey done and then seek guidance from Ubiquiti. A 30 mile haul will have lots of pitfalls, so if you are merely trying to get Internet access via your existing DSL net, give consideration of alternate methods.

Yes, in my opinion it is far better and more portable but then this is subjective isn't it? I don't have the tools to make an informed judgement so I guess you should have a good look at the specs. G

Tbh idk... maybe you should invest in a decent controller and see whats up. .. I think it depends on how big a space you are looking to use it on as well..

I asked tech support the same. It will work fine but the extreme ranges may prove challenging.

No, you need a LeapFrog Explorer (1 or 2) or any of the LeapPads. I'd get the Ultra if I was buying something new.

Yes you can. There is, however, a process. Your going to have to call ASUS, which is a hassle until you get to a department that can actually help you, and have them e-mail you a free shipping slip along with the RMA forms. You will be without your computer for 1-2 weeks and may have your system wiped clean. I suggest you do two upgrades and make your life a hell of a lot easier. The video card seems to have a huge issue with the wires coming off of the fan connectors and the power supply unit barely cuts it. Grab yourself a 430-500 watt (high rated!) PSU and a video card in your budget (save for a GTX 660 or something) and you will be happy as hell with your system. This ~$200 upgrade will turn your rig into a true powerhouse, without breaking the bank too much.

Be sure to have a look at the coverage maps for each system.They seem to only work if you are near a major city so far.

Christopher has the right idea. Check with Apple Jeffery. Options like the i7 2.6GHz processor and the Fusion Drive are BTO(Build to Order) options. You can get them directly from Apple online or at any Apple store. I went through the same thing with Best Buy until I realized what BTO meant. There is a short wait while they build your machine. It is actually kind of cool if you think about it, this way your Mac is assembled especially for you.

Yes, as long as you know what you are doing. There are limits due to the slim design but upgrades are available as far as video cards and others. If anyone decides to upgrade just take it to someone or youtube it

Sorry, but as Gary P says, "middle of the road units". Still, if youre in the middle of the road, why not travel cheaply and well. Im delighted with mine. Paul H.

I'd buy the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray player, read up on web-site's about what to buy, Samsung,I have one and love it!, especially that since I also have a Samung 5084 50 inch Plasma TV also, HA!, so far everything I loaded into it has played without a problem, I have a Harmony 550 remote and down loaded codes from thier site and I'm having no problems so far. Haven't used the netflex yet but I can't see a problem there, but I think you got to have to right router (wireless or hard-wired) to use anything your going to use, maybe your just thinking to hard about this crap, buy it and read about what you have bougth and learn how to use it. I have a ONKYO TX-SR605S receiver with HDMI that I run this thru, and I never would even think about buying a F'*ING SONY, I'm sorry I forgot they own half of the ""USA"" !, "OH CRAP", sorry again, Rolacoy, I'm a happy person with Samsung so far, just "read" what the hell is in the box, and I see you know how to use the internet,surf the web and you'll find just about anything you might want to know about this S!!T, hoped this had a clue to what you need, like the old saying, It's better some time's to be going without being asked.

Thank you for the information. Since the 32 gb is only $50 more, it would make more sense to me to go with that one and then I can add whatever music I want, whenever I want and whatever genres I want and have an incredible personal jukebox. But I'll keep in mind what you said and I can always change my mind and drop down to the 16 gb. And no, I don't care about the video. If the 16 gb does not have the video function, that might be the way I would go then. Why don't these places just make music players at a less expensive price for those customers who don't want every electronic function that is available at the higher prices?

There are several different options that are either the same cost or cheaper. I would go with the other options. I purchased this item based on review of stellar technical support, but I found out too late those reviews to be grossly incorrect.
