If the fans spin, but it isn't booting, the heatsink backplate might be touching the back of the motherboard causing a short. I have a ASUS P8Z68-V LE and I had a similar problem. The solution was to use the heatsink's included electrically-neutral plastic spacers between the motherboard and the...
This site was mentioned on AT or FW a while ago and it looks like the deal got better today:
http://www.comcastoffers.com
For my area, it now shows Comcast High Speed Internet for $19.99/month for 6 months, free basic install (or $49.95 premium install) and a Motorola SB5100 cable modem for...
BTW, anyone also notice that VirusScan 7/QuickClean is $60 - $30 upgrader rebate - $30 rebate = free?
I think someone here or at FW suggested buying both Norton and VirusScan and using each other to get the upgrade rebate on each other. Sounds pretty insane, but I'm considering it since I don't...
The Windows XP deal looks interesting: http://www.staples.com/Products/SpotLights/000000/AmazingPC/MainPage/Default.asp
I found that if you click on the picture of the Windows XP box, you get to another page...
I upgraded to SXGA+ and it's 1400x1050 which is a whole lotta pixels.
I don't think they offer 1280x1024 on the 900Z series (I could be wrong).

I just got my Compaq Presario 900Z today (10/21) after ordering 1 week ago on 10/13. It's totally cool! My last laptop was a PowerBook 150 in 1996 and this 900Z totally blows it out of the water. :)
I got the 15" SXGA screen. Wow, 1400x1050 is so many pixels! There's only one bad pixel in the...
badluck,
I found one of RossMAN's old posts on getting Compaq Presario BTO status:

I just got in on this deal at the Bellevue, WA Staples today. Wow, the store was understaffed.
The sales person showed me how to use the kiosk and it printed out the full price of the laptop (before $300 coupon and before free shipping), and when I brought it to the cashier, the cashier entered...
This deal seems pretty good to me. Is the free 802.11b Multiport deal still going on? Also, I'd like to know where to get the $50 off $300 B&M coupon too (about to search the web...).
I'm thinking about getting:
* 15" TFT SXGA+ (upgrade)
* 40GB drive (upgrade)
* DVD (upgrade)
* 256MB DDR SDRAM...
meccaboy858, I just emailed you the HP315 rebate form.
poppagene, thanks for the Office Depot rebate status link -- I checked and I'm apparently being processed.
Spencer
APLADAY,
What number did you call and what address did you email to get your OfficeDepot Maxtor 40GB $40 rebate?
I sent my rebate in 12/18/2001. A couple of weeks later I got an email (with my last name mispelled) with a "personal reference number" saying that my entry was being processed and...
I setup Access4Less for a relative about 2 months ago and it seems solid.
Access4Less Promotion
$5.95/mo, $0 setup
I think they kick you off after 5 hours and you have to relogon, but other than that it's unlimited hours.

Not to thread-crap, but some comments:
1) The -$50 is really a $50 gift check that 800.com gives you to spend at their store in the future. Personally, I find a lot of their other stuff to be overpriced, so I'm not sure what I really want to buy there in the future.
2) You may want to consider...
If you're having a problem with a Cendyne rebate, check out (and call): http://www.tcarebates.com. I got my $30 CD-RW drive rebate sorted out that way.

Last week I tried to order the Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm (item 428386 pricematched to OfficeDepot's $119.95 price) from Staples, but they were out of stock in my area, so my CSR, Melinda, said she would call me back once they came back in stock.
I just received a voicemail 1 hour ago saying that the...
I received the 128MB PC133 CL2 SDRAM DIMM and it seems to be working well with the rest of my PC100 CL2 memory (my mobo doesn't do 133, so I can't test it that high). The chips were Infineon. The total cost to my credit card was $112.49, so shipping was apparently $112.49-$102.99=$9.50 for...
Techbargains.com had the offer code 23023ia for $50 off $100, and 22626j5 for $25 off $50. I took a look around the site and the best deals I could find:
Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm for $159.94 - $50 = $109.94
128MB PC133 CL2 SDRAM for $102.99 - $50 = $52.99
What do you guys think?
EDIT: I just read...
I'm looking for a cheap fairly fast card, too, so I found another GeForce2 MX:
http://www.us.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10261991&loc=101
It's a Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX AGP that is on backorder. Use a $20 off $100 coupon, plus free shipping (which expires 10/25...
Saw this in the coupons you get in the (physical) mailbox every week:
Save $12 off $100 for new customers
(Yeah I realize it's not hot, but I thought I'd post it for completeness :-))
I'm looking for a national pay (non-free) dial-up ISP that will also give me a couple (maybe 3-5 total) POP3 mailboxes for family members.
Thanks,
Spencer
Thanks for the info, Alex. $20 per extra GB sounds kind of pricey, but I really doubt that I'll be going over 10GB/mo (more likely I'll go over 200-300MB in a particular day). Although OLM doesn't offer the 'unlimited bandwidth' like some web hosts, I don't recommend that either, because often...
Over at http://anandforums.gisystech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=168514, I posted what I think to be the definitive list of OLM/WebAxxs deals:
http://olm.net/i-world.htm
$7.95/mo for 2GB, 75MB, 10 POP3. New low-end deal.
http://hostnew.olm.net/altavista.htm
$9.95/mo for 5GB...
