It's a cord!

This coaxial cable does what it's supposed to do. Very stiffly wound up, however. Also, overpriced. Should only be like $5.

Good Coffee Maker, but not excellent

Verified Purchase:Yes
A couple things keep this coffee maker from being fantastic. For one, the clock seems to need to be pushed ahead every couple of weeks. It's digital and doesn't stay on time. My oven timer does a better job. Also, it is definitely on the bigger side especially if you have limited counter space. On the plus side, it does what it's supposed to do: makes great coffee once you get used to it. Way better than our old $15 Mr. Coffee.

Decent device, lousy software and accessories
on September 11, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
The device itself seems to work fine. Plugged it into my custom built computer running Windows 7 64 bit. However, the included antenna is terrible. I'm only about a 15 min drive from downtown Minneapolis (near Hwy 280) and only got about half of the local channels. I'm buying a different antenna to try and fix the issue. Additionally, software was a bit of a pain to get going, but it worked eventually.

With Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) technology, this EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-3979-KB graphics card allows you to experience the smooth images and vivid detail of a 4K monitor on a 1080p resolution display.
 

Is this GTX 970 a "FTW" edition?

Need to know if this GTX 970 is the enhaced edition.
This one is not the FTW edition. Based on the core clock it is EVGA's super super clocked edition (SSC). Very close to the FTW and you probably won't see a big difference in performance between the two.

I use CAD/3D. What do you recommend using several programs at the same time and 3 monitors. Does Best Buy offer free upgrades?

I'm not sure what free upgrades you're talking about, and most of the time, no they don't. This card would be plenty for AutoCAD and a 3 monitor setup assuming they're 1080P monitors. You could probably get away with a gtx 960 with 1080P. But if you're using 1440P or 4k monitors, you're going to need a 980 or better.

This PNY GeForce GTX 960 graphics card provides incredible graphics performance with out-of-the-box overclocking, and 2GB memory for handling graphics-intensive games and applications. Supports 4K Ultra HD resolution to ensure lifelike images.
 

How do I know if this will work with my PC

I have an old PC but it does have an i7 processor and currently and ATI 4800 graphics card. I need to upgrade the card and need to know if this card will work with my PC. The current interface is PCI express 2.0, will this card which is PCI Express 3.0 work ok?
Yes, it will work. PCI express 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. You may see very slightly lower performance with a 2.0 slot instead of 3.0 but you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

what kind of video graphics card should i get for my hp Envy?

Assuming it is a desktop Envy, then there are a ton of options. If you're not doing gaming, photo editing, video editing or any 3D analysis programs you won't need a dedicated graphics card. An entry level card for the above would be an AMD R7 370 or slightly better an NVIDIA gtx 960. If you want the higher end, a GTX 970 or 980 would suit anyone's need.

How to tell which external CD Rom drive fits my laptop?

If it is external, then anyone with a USB port will work. There are several LG brand ones that will work from Best Buy. They range from $40-60 USD.
