Word of warning about preordering the THE 800XL off Atari’s website. The “Buy now pay later” line is apparently just for show

I know I shouldn’t be preordering crap, but again I was acting under the assumption I would be charged until it shipped.

This is a long shot but does anyone know the recipe for the Sazerac they use to serve at Perals Southern Comfort in Edgewater?

It was my favorite cocktail. I have all the ingredients I just can’t get the ratios right.

Do I need an adapter to used the USB power in or HDMI out on a British computer in the US

I was going to get one of those replicas of the Amiga 1200 and I just wanted to make sure I understand how this stuff works.

With the Power supply will any USB charger with enough wattage work or will I need an adapter?

HDMI is an international standard so I’m pretty sure it’ll be fine, but I figured I might as well ask.

mittzon back board weight Limit?

I just got a new monitor and I’m worried that it might be too heavy for the black plank at the back of the desk to support. The monitor weighs about 20 pounds and it feels like most of the weight is on the front section, but I’m still concerned. I have the monitor on to of the support bracket if that makes a difference.

Is there any sort of cable extension for the Kraken 240 elite

The included cable is a few inches to short to position the radiator so that the tubes and cable are at the back of my case. my only option was to mount it with the pipes and cable directly into the flow of incoming air, witch isn't ideal.

Are the Kithara good as a daily driver? Thinking of upgrading from my HD 58X’s

I know both companies are notorious for there issue with quality control customer service, but they have them in stock at my local microcenter so I should be able avoid all that.

My question is really about detail and clarity. Will there be a noticeable improvement over my Sennheiser’s?

I prefer a more analytical sound for music, but most reviewers either focus on their use in gaming or get hung up on the lack of bass.

These days I’m mainly listening to prog rock, classical, and other stuff with a lot of instruments

Wireless mouse’s USB dongle get hot when in use

It’s one of those very small 2.4ghz ones that fits almost entirely inside the metal part of the usb plug.

And when I say hot I mean just hot enough to be worrying, like an iphone after using it for gaming.

Does anyone have Work Louder's "Wrk. Mat" desk mat? The design is enough for me to justify the price, but only if its well made, and given the companies reputation I'd like to hear some reviews etc.

This is extremely pedantic, but does the color of the plastic on the clear green version of the Hyperkin DuchesS match the plastic of the Xbox edition of the 8BitDo Retro R8 mouse?

Its really going to bug me if there's to big a difference. Someone on here has to have both.
