50 cents off Annie's Organic Mac & Cheese

Yup. Annies. da bomb. Vitasoy creamy original soymilk + annies powdered cheese + macaroni = something very tasty. BTW, no butter is necessary with the aforementioned recipe. Add parmesan for flavor. Hmmm. Time to go to Costco to stockup.

RADEON 9700 PRO + Canon ink cartridge = $284.37

xenolith; The first example you show is really dicey. You should read the ad. It shows a picture of a 9700 pro, but everything else refers to a 9000, including the reference to 64mb of ram. Your second example is for a place that is relatively unknown and appears to charge a 35% restocking...

RADEON 9700 PRO + Canon ink cartridge = $284.37

Warm deal. Dell Home has the Ati Radeon Pro for 349.95. Currently, they are offering 10% off accessories. Add anything over a nickel to this and you can add the $40 of $350 coupon to bring the total down to (in my case) $284.37. I added a Canon ink cartridge(also 10% off) for my S820 printer...

1GB Sandisk CompactFlash card $139.99 after MIR free shipping

I can't think of any reason except perhaps the speed issue. Aside from that, I can only give you reasons why you should go with this one. The first and foremost reason, IMO, is because it isn't manufactured by IBM. After the failure of my last IBM hard drive and ensuing warranty debacle, I will...

1GB Sandisk CompactFlash card $139.99 after MIR free shipping

Looks like a very nice deal. A little over a year ago, a 1GB CF card like this would have probably cost you around $1000.

Not sure of the error code. But I bet you had some bad sectors. My understanding is that when you format, the bad sectors are remapped so they are invisible. Not gone. You need to keep a close eye on the drive to see if it develops more bad sectors. It would be highly advisable to run a drive...

13 Boards with KT266A and nForce 420D @ Tom's Hardware

I can't see the advantage of the nforce cards. Their biggest drawback is what should be their biggest draw, i.e the graphics card. Instead of getting the "good" stuff, you get the "clunker" stuff. OTOH, the asus A7V266-E looks solid to me. $161 for a solid overclocker with very good onboard...
