The $9.98 sale has nothing at all to do with the Pokeman deal, that is a completely different sale. The prices are marked $9.98 on the shelf and directly on the packaging, not combined with any other item or offer.
Also, this sale is a much better than advertised actually. TRU must be...
Doing a little research was kind of enlightening on this whole HD situation. Articles are saying that up to 40% of the Thai HD production has been affected by the flooding. The interesting thing is that other articles say that 25% of the world's HD production is in Thailand....
Doing the...
Unconfirmed, but an article at tgdaily claims sources are saying the release date of the 3870x2 has been moved up to 1/23.

We'll see how it performs in the $400-$500 range, but it could be an interesting card.
I didn't have the 7200.10's but I actually just switched from 2x 7200.9's. I'm using those for data drives now. The raptors are very noticeably faster loading apps or games and in general use. It's not like going from a Yugo to a Porsche, but then again an e6700 C2D is $200 more than an e6600...
Got my raptor raid 0 setup today after picking up another at BB.
HDTach numbers:
Burst speed: 164.0 mb/s
Random access: 8.6ms
Average read: 128.9mb/s
I also ran PCMark05 before and after and I can tell you that the numbers were similar, roughly 25-35% faster for general use. There...
Steven the Leech - Picked up one of the same 74GB raptors at BB yesterday. Just for kicks here are my specs using the same HDTach version for comparison, just no raid.
Burst speed: 135.7
Random access: 8.0ms
Average read: 77.4 mb/s
I've used raid 0 with other drives for a long time. It...
Picked up the Wii version at Target today on sale for $39. Easily worth a few extra dollars considering the seller ratings for the place above are mixed at best.
Got mine today. Good as new. I was a bit worried getting this open box but all the screws, brackets, etc. were there. Looks like someone sent it back without even trying it.
Missed out at Wal-Mart this morning, they went quick. Got one here though. Looks like I was just in time. Many thanks, it was beginning to look like no x-mas for the kids this year. :)
This one is real tempting but I'll hold off if/until the rebate form is online. Too much potential for headache if I have problems getting the form sent from them...
In for a stainless.
A few years ago I vowed no more cheap flimsy cases...it's worth the money and Antec are always good. I've been wanting a P180 for a long time and I couldn't see paying what they normally go for, but at $70 AR shipped it's a killer deal and too hard to pass up.
Just a word of warning, watch out for these Cendyne rebates. I picked up a Cendyne CDRW with a $50 rebate, submitted everything and they refused to honor it saying I didn't include the serial number (which I did). I resubmitted it again with that, they still said the rebate was invalid. I...
I thought about this one a little, but passed when I did some more checking and found that every one of the items that Buy.com sells made by Smart Modular (7 different ones) are out of stock-backordered. I'd be surprised if they will ever get these in.
