Service costs that much no matter which way you slice it. If you own a Sidekick, you're *required* to buy the unlimited data since the device syncs to the Internet...that adds $20 to the monthly fee.
Mine shipped...double-checked my final price on their website = $120.05. :)
Thanks again, OP!
EDIT: And I think he meant OOS @ Staples...because ZipZoomFly still has this in stock...just for $136.00 shipped instead of $132.00. Also, beware of some of those versions of the drive you...
Woo hoo...got it. $132 - $15 coupon + tax = $120.05...shipping was free...said it will show up Wed the 26th.
Coupon is $15 off $75...check google!
THANKS OP!
On the phone working the mojo right now...on hold...he says all is good. Coupon mentioned in this post is dead, so I'm using a $15 off $75 one. $132 - $15 = $117 for this 250GB SATA with a 3 yr warranty..HOT!
I'll keep ya'll posted...
These actually mark the first appearance of 100% Hitachi drives. Previous drives were built during the IBM > Hitachi transition. This is outlined in the StorageReview.com article.
3 year warranty...that is solid for this cheap.
Yup...I have that same bad taste. However, the warranty is what pulled me through. My valuable data is always backed up in some fashion...my main concern is being able to get a replacement drive if something goes wrong...so a 3 or 5 year warranty is a must.
That Maxtor tempted me but I've...
I thought this was a pretty good deal for a 250GB SATA drive and no rebates...$129.99...3 year warranty to boot!

Dave...again...go to the forum I linked to above (I did not link to the FAQ thread that you're probably very familiar with). The forum (http://www.aaltonen.us/forums/viewforum.php?f=4) is very active with people asking those same questions. You'll get the answers fast from people that are...
Yes..just read the posts above. This has been mentioned at least 2X in this thread.
I personally bought 2x512 ECC DDR2 sticks from Crucial for $280+tax...returned them once this system was available with 2x512 for 1x512 price.
It was $280+tax for Crucial 1GB or $333+tax for an entire Dell...
The double memory deal for 1GB total (512x2) ends up being almost the same price as buying two sticks at Crucial.
$333 for the system with 1GB or $280 for 1GB from Crucial.com (no system, obviously).
For the hard drive alone (worth $60 or so) that is worth it.
Just setup an RMA with Crucial. It was about $280 for 2x512MB ECC DDR2 sticks from Crucial for the SC420 - or I could buy an entire server with the new double memory (before it was only 256) for 1GB of ECC DDR for only $333. Heh...$50 for a case, proc, hard drive, cdrom, mouse, keyboard..etc. :)
Just a quick word in here about the memory - you can buy regular DDR2 (unregistered). That isn't much consolation...but it is $220 shipped for 2x512MB Corsair sticks at zipzoomfly. Better than $300 (with tax for me) for 2x512MB Crucial ECC sticks. I went with the ECC anyway since these will...
I received mine today...I've got to say that I am quite disappointed. The SkyFi2 is supposed to be their premier device and it is not nearly as impressive as my Kenwood Here2Anywhere Sirius tuner that is over a year old. Also, the sound quality is noticeably worse in comparison to Sirius...
You can play games on this...mod the PCI-e slot or toss a PCI video card in. Check the forums mentioned previously in this thread...people are doing pretty cool stuff with these guys.
alphaz - how'd you get 2.8 P4 for a free upgrade???
Dell states on their site it will work with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0...so my guess is that getting it to work with Fedora (or a similar distro like Mandrake) will be fairly trivial.
The "trick" was I ordered on 12/21 when they were not running the double memory promotion. So I paid the same as you would today, except you would receive 2X the memory for that price.
So, instead of asking for them to send me RAM (which costs money, labor, etc) I asked for a $50 credit...I...
Cool...I guess you have to get lucky with CSRs..just talked to them and I'm getting $50 off my purchase price. Getting the Celeron system with a single 256, 80GB, for $189 (+tax since I'm in MN..wah).
Should be receiving it any day now! (Ordered 12/21)
RE: #3 I can confirm that it does repair/fix problems that it finds. It is actually the engine used for Trend Micro's Damage Cleanup Service which is part of their Enterprise protection product line. It will deploy and scan all managed systems (through OfficeScan) and clean them in emergency...
Wow..that is pretty lucky. I spoke to a CSR and they denied me on everything. I told them I was going to ship it back then and they were fine with that..lol. Ordered a new one today...
Yeah new deal is better..wow. Too late to cancel my order..oh well. $5 for the 80GB upgrade and free upgrade to 512MB..not bad!
Still looking for 256MB ECC sticks if anyone wants to sell theirs. :)
Hmm..I can only get it to $343 using the previous config and the "free" 512MB upgrade...guess it isn't really free.
If anyone wants to dump a stick of 256MB DDR2 ECC, PM me! You can use regular RAM on this.
Depends on where you live. I have a distribution center near me...not too bad (Minneapolis).
I quit Netflix long ago due to slowness...and I had a distribution center in Minneapolis too. Blockbuster is much better so far.
You can sell the 256MB stick it comes with and use standard DDR2. That is expensive as well though. Check the FAQ..it is pretty helpful.
EDIT: BTW - thanks Rasputinj...bought one stock but I upgraded to 80GB.
You guys are all welcome..glad it is useful! I personally love it...really handy for a quick second opinion.
Just remember that this is a manual scanner only - since it is command-line. So...no realtime scanning like AVG may offer (or the non-free apps like Symantec, McAfee, and Trend...
Sysclean is a free command-line tool from Trend Micro. It uses the PC-Cillin scan engine, it performs the same as if you were using a full-blown Trend Micro AV product (i.e. PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005) manual scanner.
Here is what you'll need:

No, letters do not light up. Just the "background" which is to say the area under the keys that gets full of crap.
You can turn it off, have it on bright, or have it medium...it has an option.
remember - this is only $44.99 at Best Buy!!!
FYI this is about the same price at Best Buy. $44.99...wasn't labeled at a couple (I've bought two, one for me and then one for my bro for his bday).
It rocks...very nice keyboard. Very long (wide) though! Make sure it fits your desk!
