The deal is still available and I received my copy without purchasing any hardware so they must not be enforcing that OEM rule very strictly. As for these comments, yeah I have noticed that it's slower to boot than without Panda, but at the same time Panda has been blocking network virus...
Why is the retail version w/ bundle about $90 more than the OEM version? $90 for a crappy stock AMD heat sink/fan? Usually the bump from OEM to retail is like $10 or $15. Not $90. Makes me suspicious...
EDIT: Math mistake... Math is hard sometimes...
A quick search of the product number (BT6B12) reveals that it's the manufacturer's product number for Panda Titanium 2006. A google search reveals several vendors selling products with the same product number as Panda Titanium 2006. The 2005 may have been been a typo in the mwave item...
I didn't have anything except the software in my cart and in let the order go through. I got a confirmation e-mail and a verified/processing e-mail from mwave. However, if it gets kicked back to me for any reason or I lose the $3 instant rebate, I'll be sure to post.

Anybody have Panda? PC World mag apparently loves it. I've used the only Active Scan and its picked up stuff that my anti-spy could find (Ad-Aware, Ewido). I figured for $6 + shipping it's worth a shot.
Yeah, but they also tend not to lower prices a whole lot over the life of a product. Instead of keeping the same offerings at lower price levels, they tend to keep the same price points and just give the machines spec bumps.
The extra money is for OS X over Windows and the design and...

I have their 19" monitor. Got it for Christmas. Not a super monitor, but certainly an upgrade space-wise over the 17" Samsung CRT I was using and I'm sure it was on a super deal.
I ordered this RAM from ZZF last Friday for about $79 shipped. It arrived yesterday and I installed it no problem.
If anybody was dying to know, it's currently working perfectly and preventing interminably slow World of Warcraft frame rates in my ancient Socket A motherboard :)
Finlaly gathered all the ingredients together to take a crack at this loaf. Put it in the old Welbilt Bread Machine before I went to bed and, presto change-o, in the morning I've got a beautiful loaf of bread begging to be toasted! Thanks for the recipe, OP! Now that I've given it a test run...
The newegg one lists the latency, the CC one doesn't. And it doesn't have a full model number from what I can tell, either.
EDIT: Oh, and the newegg listing is for PC2700 333MHz RAM, whereas the CC listing is for PC3200 400MHz.
I guess if I want an ugly notebook case I know where to look :)
Seriously though, thanks for the info. I'm sure they may actually have some good deals at some point in the future.
I'm pretty sure it's a standard ATX case, it's just a mini tower. So no, you wouldn't have to get a different motherboard. A standard ATX mobo should work fine in the case. There just won't be as much breathing room as in another case like a mid-tower or a full-tower.
I jumped on this one when Tiger had it free after rebates. Not a marvel of modern engineering by any stretch, but it's a decent case for $20-$30. Certainly better than the generic beige box I got when I first built the rig :)
Anybody have this board? What's the verdict on it? Newegg has it for under $100 now, so I was just wondering if anybody had any experiences with it and new if it was a board to avoid.
New to the boards, planning my second build. Did my first one probably 4 years ago and I'm still using the system, but it''s getting pretty long in the tooth.
Abit KR7A-RAID
Athlon XP 1800+
Radeon 9500
Soundblaster Audigy Gamer
Obviously, my current system is a huge dead end. I'm...
