Cheap Prescription Glasses Thread (as low as $19)

Personally, I just went out to B&M stores and comparison shopped, wrote down the dimensions of frames that I liked and compared those measurements with what I could find online. Without at least seeing similar glasses on your face, it's hard to really make a smart decision. ;)

Cheap Prescription Glasses Thread (as low as $19)

Ordered a pair from Zenni (bendable titanium, silver, anti-reflective but otherwise standard lenses) and received them a little less than a month ago. They seem fine, if a little on the flimsy-seeming side. I was expecting something a little different from something called "bendable", but...

Good deal? Corsair XMS 2 x 1GB RAM $196 ARB

All I know is that my system runs Call of Duty 2 smooth as silk with 2x1GB Corsair XMS (had to manually adjust timings and voltage, of course; SPD is such a joke). At the time that I bought it, it was the cheapest CAS2 option; my advice is to stick with CAS2 options and just buy the cheapest...

Antec TruePower 2.0 TP2-550 EPS12V ATX12V 550W Power Supply $87AR

What's the point of getting an EPS compliant PSU at this point (short of those few individuals actually building home servers)? Just curious.

BB has a $10 off videogames coupon floating around out there (good until March2006) that might spice up that Battlefield2 deal.

Vista Giveaway

Good thing I have an inside line on the date...that remote viewing training is going to pay off big! ;) P.S. - Threw out my shot in the dark; here's hoping that I get an xbox360 in the mail come December 2006. :)

xfx 7800gt-$279.00 after mir

I had no problem at all contacting XFX and having them provide me an RMA for a mixup (packaging error: their manufacturer mislabeled and boxed up some of the UDE7 models, the ones with Molex connector, as UDF7 models, the ones with PCI-e connectors); I haven't received my replacement so far, but...

Seagate 300GB internal hard drive $69 AR- 80GB Hitachi FAR @ Outpost

Yeah, I was hoping for a 7200.9, but it turned out to be a 7200.8. Bummer, but hopefully it works fine (the 10% reliability score at storagereview makes me wary, though...seeing as how it will be paired up with an apparently already failing Hitachi SATA; doesn't leave me with a lot of options...

That's because the $10 rebate was for 11/25/05 only.

Seagate 300GB internal hard drive $69 AR- 80GB Hitachi FAR @ Outpost

If so, I'll be a very happy man in 8-10 weeks ($0.14/GB after shipping would be an insane deal for a large capacity drive; as it is, I'm happy with $0.26/GB after shipping...only thing that could sweeten the deal would be for it to magically change into a SATA drive). ;) Of course, Seagate...

P180 @ NewEgg ----$99 AR edit: Free 3 Day!!

The CompUSA ad had it listed with a $50 MIR (the scan I saw last week, anyway), whereas this is $25. $10 extra to have less "invested" in the rebate seems like a good deal, especially since you won't have to wait in a BF line to get the thing. P.S. - Use a Discover card to buy it at Newegg...

Philips DVP642 Progressive Scan DVD/Divx Player (49.99 Shipped)

I got one of those last year for ~$45 shipped from amazon. It's not a bad player, if your interest is in playing DivX/Xvid stuff...the remote is lacking, the firmware is in major need of an overhaul, it's a little on the loud side, and the display is certainly not top notch, but for a cheap...

Onkyo HT780 Home theater system 439 free shipping

How does this compare to the Infinity Theater pack (Primus c25 center channel, Primus 140 fronts and surrounds) w/ Dayton 10" sub? (can be had for just about the same price; only issue would be picking up a receiver to go with it...say, the Panasonic XR55 for $200) I know, $200 extra (for...

Sony 16x DUAL FORMAT DVD±RW DUAL $69.99 AR, Internal $39.99

I hate to threadcrap, but this doesn't seem like a great deal ($10 cheaper AR than Newegg's regular price, but you have to float a $30 loan to the company for a few months? no thanks).

Sennheiser PC-150 gaming headphones: $38 shipped at Amazon.com

I'd go with the HD497s if you only plan to listen to them (or if you plan to use a separate mic). They are more comfortable and sound a whole hell of a lot better. If you want an integrated mic/headphone then the PC150 is a good way to go for the price.

Cheap Prescription Glasses Thread (as low as $19)

Just out of curiosity: has anyone ordered prescription sunglasses from any of these sites? If so, how would you rate them? Also, any additional testimonials (from those that have actually sampled the goods) would be appreciated. I'm about to slap down some serious cash for new glasses...

Sennheiser PC-150 gaming headphones: $38 shipped at Amazon.com

They fit on your ear (unlike, say, the HD497s that fit over the ear)...if you wear glasses, they are likely to be uncomfortable for you until you learn creative (sort of) ways of wearing them (I own both these and the HD497s ... the latter are WAY better; the only reason to get the PC150s is for...

Bestbuy and McDonalds(10/04/05 to 10/31/05)

I can confirm that they are sending out SASEs with the rules and no BB bucks. I sent out 40 of them the first week, and just starting getting my pieces this week (about 12 so far, 2 of which were the "no BB bucks" variety). Not looking good. Pretty annoyed, to be honest, since I sent out my...

DeepDiscountDVD 3 for $17.94

You can buy as many as you want (all of them conceivably), and they all count as buy 2 get 1 free (ie, 1 free for every 2 you purchase). Just ordered 6 of them, myself. ;)
