So I am loving my new computer, but hating Vista. What is new? I get to order my “free” upgrade to Windows 7 on the 22nd, so I am not customizing the system like I normally would after a fresh install because I will be wiping the system and doing a clean install. I hate all the unecessary bullshit computer vendors pre-install on the system, as I never use any of it.
Anyway, so the other day when I said I was going to put my nVidia card into my new computer, I did so. Of course, with my luck, it does not work for some reason. I played with it for twenty or thirty minutes and could not get any display out of it, even though it was powered. Whatever, but I have an issue. I need my dual screens. Luckily the computer came with a VGA and HDMI port. What I did not have was an HDMI port on either of my monitors, nor a DVI to HDMI cable. I decided to see how much they cost, and it is $39.99 at Staples, damn. After searching for a bit, I found this really great website: svideo.com. I ordered the same cable I could have gotten from Staples for, $7.95 and free shipping through USPS. I got the part two days later and now I am able to be more productive!
I cannot believe the deal I got, so I had to post about it. The good people at svideo.com do not advertise so I decided to give them a bit of a plug, so if you are looking for quality video cable converters, audio converters, etc. check these guys out.
