Good for switching between Ubuntu and Wndws 7

Strengths - the switch worked without having to install anything onto either of my computers. The automatic key combination is scroll lock scroll lock. It works with my mouse, keyboard, monitor, and speakers.
Weaknesses - The speaker cord is too short to reach my desktop and my laptop the way it is designed so I had to get an extension cable, but other than that I have no issues.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, works with linux and windows
What's not so great: Speaker cord is too short
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing game

I would say the online experience is the best for this game, but if you are not hooked up to Xbox Live and still want a good game Call of Duty has it.
Special Ops is never ending it seems and adds a lot of difficulty to the game.
The campaign was fun and the different difficulties actually make it really hard.
I would buy this game if you own a console.
What's great about it: Everything, but mainly online play
What's not so great: Graphics could be better and there are some glitches here and there
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hilarious movie if you like these types of movies
on December 17, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
This movie is one of my favorite movies I have seen in a while. The little kid does an amazing job. He does curse a lot in the movie, but it adds to the humor if you are into these types of movies. I would say this is geared towards college students and young adults.
I think this is a must see movie because there are so many one liners in this that will be remembered for a while.
What's great about it: Bobbie E Thompson, everything else
What's not so great: Cinamatography because its a comedy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good CD but Eminem is a little twisted
on December 17, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
The CD basically falls right in line with all his previous CDs only now that he has proven to be a good artist he seems to be continuously pushing the limits. I personally enjoy the CD, but others who have heard it thought it was quite messed up as far as lyrics go.
I will still say that Eminem is a lyrical genius. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless they have listened, and liked, eminem before.
What's great about it: Good lyrics as usual, some catchy background,
What's not so great: Very dark, ominous, and twisted
I would recommend this to a friend!

A tiny powerful fan
on July 26, 2009
Posted by: NickC
from Cincinnati, OH
This fan is a really good fan if you want one to help cool a decent size room. For the size of the fan it pushes out a lot of power.
The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that there are only 3 settings, but it seems finding a fan with more than that these days is hard to do.
I would recommend this product to anyone looking to keep the airflow constant in a house.
What's great about it: Very Powerful, circulates very well, reliable
What's not so great: Only 3 settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

External tuner to connect cable to my TV via my DVR620KU
I am looking for an external tuner to connect my Toshiba DVR620KU DVD/VHS VIDEO recorder to my cable TV service. I have basic cable without the tuner box.
I am not sure I understand the question, but if you are looking to hook your DVD/VHS up to your tv you could just use the coaxial cables on the back assuming it has them. Make sure to run one from the coax in the wall to the VHS/DVD and then from that take one to the TV. You will have to watch TV using the VHS remote I believe though.

Surround Sound?
I have a 50" Philips Plasma TV and a Philips Blue Ray player. What speakers do i need to get to have Surround Sound,and, how do i connect them? I'm connected to Verizon (fiber optic) and i have HD and recorder capability.
There are tons of way to go about doing this, but you don't have the necessary pieces to hook 5 speakers up to your TV. You will need a dvd player that has speaker inputs (receiver built in) or a stand alone receiver with your different speakers hooked up to it.
I would recommend a Home Theatre in a Box if it is your first surround sound system to keep the cost down, but you could piece one together as well if you are a audiophile.
I would talk to an associate in the Audio section of Best Buy to get a better understanding.

Do you sell ir repeater system
i bought a PVR and the remote won't relay the signal to the TV through the wood doors of my cabinet
There are a few options that you can look at. First they make something known an RF remote, Logitech makes them and they are called harmony remotes. These will go through walls and what not. If you are looking for an IR repeater I believe Best Buy has those as well, but I could be mistaken, if so they will be back in by the rf modulaters and A/V Switchers.

I have a Verizon wireless usb card and would like to know if it is possible to connect it to a router and split to a computer and PS3.
I was not sure if possibe to put a router on a wireless card. I live in Aguanga, Ca. and we do not get Cable TV, and only can get DSL at my location. My card works great on the computer, but i would like to be able to use it to stream to my PS3 and other things. Is this possible or am I just gonna have to make do.
Yes it is possible, but you need a special router, if you go into any Best Buy they should be aware of where these are located, but normally they are near the Cable/DSL modems. I would also ask the folks over in the Cell Phone section if the Computer Associates aren't a good enough help.
See products below.

what is the best way to watch my cable TV on the internet while I am in Africa?
Your best bet for that is either Sony FreeLocation or Sling Box, both do the same thing. They allow you to watch your Cable, DVR, DVD player, whatever components you hook up to it, over the internet. The device does need to sit underneath your TV to connect to all the components and it needs to be connected to the Internet as well either wired or wireless. The Sony one has wireless built in slingbox doesn't.

Small flat TV with DVD player?
I'm looking for a smallish TV that I could wall mount. It would be used solely for watching DVDs, so I would love it to be all in one. Does such a beast exist?
Yes they do make several small lcd combo tvs that are wall mountable. They range from 13"-32" I believe. If you go to your nearest Bestbuy there are tons of options for these.

whats my best buy
I have a 40 inch samaung hd. tv what would be the best blue ray that plays both music cds and dvd!s also do they have one that records also.
As far as I know none of the players record yet, but for music and dvds nearly all of the Blu-ray players take care of this. I would recommend getting a samsung if you have a samsung tv because they work well together.
