Melissa Foster Apex, NC writes bad checks

Melissa Foster of Apex, NC has written a bad check to Absolute Computers. Over the last few months she had contacted us and told us she would make good on the check but failed to do so. She also refused to return the stolen merchandise.

Do not accept her checks as they are worthless and an attempt to defraud you. The bank account is not even open. She is a criminal with an arrest record and a probation officer.

We located and informed her current probation officer that she is still defrauding local businesses.

She is currently in hiding but if you have a current address or phone number we can reach Melissa Foster at please contact us with it so that we can turn her over to the proper authorities and proceed with legal actions. (We will keep your information anonymous if you wish.)

ALERT: Lenovo Warehouse Sale UPDATE
Friday, June 12, 2009

A couple of days ago we blogged about the Lenovo warehouse sale near Greensboro, NC.

If the below price sheet is correct, this will be a WICKED SALE! Let's put it this way, we've bought and sold thousands of ThinkPad laptops, and this price list made our jaws hit the floor. These are priced way too cheap, some machine 80% current retail prices.

Price List.

Please note, the price list below may or may not be legit, we just bumped into it online. But the warehouse sale IS legit and there will be deals there.

Intel® Core™2 Extreme Mobile Processor X9000
Thursday, June 11, 2009



Above is a pic of an X9000 processor. We recently pulled this out of a dead Alienware Area 51 M15x laptop. Little did we know this would be in there. This rare processor goes for $400 on eBay. The X9000 is the fastest CPU for mobile 965 chipset. It features a 2.8Ghz clock speed and a 6MB cache. It is a 45nm Micro-FCPGA.

We sold this to someone who will drop it into a Dell XPS M1730 & OC it.

Fujitsu P1610 2GB DDR2 Micro DIMM?



A question we're rarely asked is: how much memory can a Fujitsu P1610 hold? The P1610 and P1620 accept a rare, 2GB stick. We have one in at the moment but it will be gone soon. The RAM currently sells for around $250/chip. That is $125/GB! The RAM is a rare MicroDIMM for Fujitsu laptops. If you're looking around online for the memory we recommend the actual Fujitsu memory which is PC2-4200 DDR2 533MHz 2Rx8 CL4.

To aid your search look for the following part numbers:

D2P533-2GMEJFJ6
PC2-4200-444-10-Z1 2Rx8 CL=4 Micro DIMM Laptop Memory

Flash Switcher for FireFox
Thursday, May 28, 2009

Here is a neat utility. On some occasions some people need a different version of flash. Flash Switcher will allow Firefox to run Flash9 instead of Flash10. Useless to many but an extremely useful tool for people that need it!
