Props to OP at Chubby Moneyholder
Nero Ultra is $99.99 at Circuit City (CC) and $39.99 at Best Buy (BB)
Buy at CC and PM to BB
$99.99 - $66 (110% of the difference)=
$33.99 + tax (FYI - $36.62 tax included in Clifornia)

Just got mine today. Sweet. Haven't tested it yet, but looks to be in good shape.
Interesting to note: the outside packaging shows the case also comes in all black, and NewEgg appears to have it in stock. Hadn't seen that before.
In for one. Thanks, OP. Been wanting to get this for several months and kept missing the various sales over time. This is the best price I've seen to date for the case.
Not sure how good this card is - it's the value version - but the price seems reasonable (seemingly lowest at Amazon even prior to rebate.) You may want to do an on site search (in this forum) for Audigy and read up on differences in their cards - there have been good deals on the next level...
For those who wanted this in blue (it looks good), ChiefValue is showing it in stock now (I just got an email on this.) Price is regular price: $98.99 ($89.00+ $9.99 ship.) Add tax if in California. Unfortunately, I have no $$$ at present so thought I'd pass this one on as there were a few...
Review on this from OverclockerCafe
Seemingly not a good solution for OCing, but good otherwise for AMD Duron and Athlon Series up to 3400+
(check Themaltake site for specifics)
I stand corrected - from the color of the fan it does look like this IS the 256 bit version.
Do note, however, that Powercolor does make a 128 bit R98 PC3 9800 Pro as well as a 256 bit version, and Monarch seemingly does not always list all specs correctly on their website.
I'm just a...
I am not a video card expert - far from it. However, I did some reading on this. Do note this card is a 128 bit card, and so supposedly (from what I've read) will run a bit slower than a 256 bit version. At this point, while the price is really good - especially for retail version - I am not...
For those who like rebates and like OCZ:
Price is $44.99 + shipping and tax + $25 rebate.

RobsTV:
Thanks for the info - good stuff.
User1234:
If possible, please post your thoughts on this when you do get it. Thanks.
I unfortunately had to pop out to take care of some business. When I got back, free shipping was gone. Yes, I am an incredible idiot, but may still get...
user1234:
Thanks, very much - your info was extremely helpful and I do appreciate the response. I think I'll look at a 754/3100+ solution (due to $$$ considerations.) Venice would be great but it would put a bit of a strain on my budget.

You are one funny mo-fo; was thinking...
How impactful is the CPU on gaming??? That is, if one picks up a mobile amd at 2200 or better with a Sapphire 9800 pro would that work okay for gaming purposes at stock speeds or only if OCing??? (I haven't tried OCing yet when building a system.) Sorry for the bump (and last question.)
User1234:
Was wondering what microATX board / CPU combo you may recommend for around $150 - $200 for gaming w/o OCing to go with this.
I'd like to build something for my nephew. I was thinking on the low end I could try a Celeron D 335 (2.8GHz) w/ a Biostar (is the Celeron D a decent...
It may be that the Aspire PSU specs are incorrect (not sure). The following forum post at Anandtech seems to suggest it's a little better than noted and provides some more feedback on this item:

EDIT: NewEgg also has some reviews on this (for each of the different...
Sounds like the PSU on this could be somewhat prorprietary (is it - I know this was discussed above on size, but???):
"The PSU is made by Young Year. There are no 420 watt models on the Young Year website so it's obviously a specialty item for Aspire" - ShortMedia
Can anyone tell me if the...
Seems interesting - this is the first time I've seen this product. I've been thinking about getting the Antec Aria, but somewhat concerned about power and heat issues - SFF is great (I have a Shuttle), but heat/power can be an issue.

HeHeHe. I need to lay off the scotch. My bad.
What I meant to say was there was a deal on an OEM Celeron 2.7 at PCMicrostore.com (in stock seperately) as well as a mascool fan (also in stock, separately) the other night. On one of the other deal websites, they had a link to a combo of the...
Not a major savings, but CircuitCity is currently selling this case for $66.99. If you live in California, CircuitCity's price would seemingly be better by a whopping $2.50 (after tax.) And, you may be able to PM to Best Buy and save another $1.50 (more or less). Hey, every dollar counts...
The Xbit article talks about the "E3" revision of the 3100+ Palermo. The link at NewEgg for the Palermo chip above is seemingly a "D0" (first iteration) from visiting AMD's site and comparing box numbers.)

AMD notes the "E" revision (seemingly) ships out under...
user1234 - looks like ChiefValue is now also down in price, and better than ZZF.
When would the E version of the 3100+ be available or is it already??? (good review at X-bit)
Edit: their new deal (re-do of their old deal) is set to expire 5-10-05
LOL! Thanks - glad it helped!
I want to thank my agent, my manager, and, all the little people who made this possible. Oh, and the price comparison web site I blatantly stole this from. Without which, none of this would have been possible.
I apologize for the lack of humor on my part (I need more coffee - or, perhaps less.)
As you may know, it's sometimes hard to tell when a member is joking or messing with one - my bad. Thanks for the update.
I need to lighten up. Taking a deep breath.
Again, thanks and sorry.
Not sure what your point is. If you were the only one in this forum, I'd get it. My original post, however, was made after the original deal had died and was intended for others that may still be interested.
I am glad you will have beaten all others by $1, and that you think a similar...
Link on site says call for availability - so you may want to do so first. I own both this and the Corsair. While not a memory expert, the Corsair seems better in my system (a Shuttle SB61G2V2.)
If you live in California - and if the $84 Corsair price is still good at Monarch - you may want...
Saw this at another deal site. I know nothing about DDR2 memory, but those commenting at that site noted it was supposedly good for the likes of a Dell 8400.

If I hadn't gotten one of the Target clearance cameras, this sounds like a good deal. Only thing is Sony memory may be more expensive than some other types of memory.
VALID TODAY ONLY!!!

Sorry if a repost - I did check and did not see this.
I'm not a memory expert, but I own both this (2 sticks) and the Corsair, and prefer the Corsair (although the Kingston is solid.) That said, Anandtech did a review on value RAM and this came up recommended (for the price, and functionality) - you can look for a link on this site. As for the...
Could I use DDR400 Kingston with this? (I have a couple a sticks laying around.) And, what would be an inexpensive board to OC (I couldn't find the ECS noted earlier)? Thanks.
(Was also gonna say Global Computer = Tiger Direct, but I see you stated that, Test Guy CT)
I know literally zip about high end cards, however, I was crusing pricegrabber and ran across this - I have no idea if it's any good or not but the price is similar so I thought I'd pass this on (you need not rip me a new bunghole, I profess my ignorance up front):
