    Hot Kabini quad-core mini-ITX CPU / mobo / case combo $100 @ Newegg

    I really want to love these Kabinis, but I'm not getting it if you are not a gamer. Near as I can tell they are barely an improvement over newish Baytrails like the J1800 in CPU performance but they are 25 W TDP compared to 10 W TDP. And you can get a J1800 SoC motherboard/CPU for under $60...

    HTPC - Shuttle SN68SG2 Barebone - $100AR

    Fry's does this deal about once every 3 weeks. That is a heck of a big rebate. Anybody have any luck with it in the past?

    That's great, if true. I scanned the online ads and didn't see it: http://newspaperads.mercurynews.com/ROP/ads.aspx?advid=32664 Also not on the Techbargains roundup of Fry's deals. I've got to go to the South Bay today so I guess I can check it out.

    EDIT: BA & some other Frys: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU & ECS Geforce6100SM-M mobo for $90 extended to 4/10

    Actually, you're getting the motherboard for -$2. The lowest price on PW for the retail X2 3800+ is $92 from the Egg. And it is really a pretty nice M-ATX boards with very decent onboard graphics. Arbeit macht Fry's often has combos that essentially give away an ECS motherboard, and really, I...

    EDIT: BA & some other Frys: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU & ECS Geforce6100SM-M mobo for $90 extended to 4/10

    This rig isn't really for hard core Windows gamers though it should have enough pop for Vista Aero if you've got enough RAM. However it would be great for desktop use and as a HTPC (well, it would be even better if it had S-Video out). I'm going to install MythTV on mine when I get around...

    Probably not. ECS boards are not known for tons of overclocking features. Here's a review. Also see this review: http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/ECS_GeForce6100SM/index.shtml Specifications: CPU Socket AM2 with AMD Athlon 64 FX/ Athlon 64/ Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core/...

    EDIT: BA & some other Frys: Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU & ECS Geforce6100SM-M mobo for $90 extended to 4/10

    Edit: This deal was 1 day only, April 5th, but was in the Friday Bay Area Mercury ad, so the price is good until Tuesday, April 10th. The deal was originally apparently in the Bay Area, but there are reports of it in Houston and Socal (O.C. Register) now, and it may be elsewhere. Link-fu...

    Fry's for Today & Tomorrow: Sempron 2800+ & ECS Nforce3 250 m/b $89.99

    AMD added 64 bit extensions in Sempr0ns in August in response to Intel 64 bit Celerons. They are slowly percolating through the retail channel. Last time I looked a few weeks ago you could find 64 bit Sempr0ns on Pricewatch down to the 2600+ level for as little as about $63. As to a case...

    BA Fry's: Retail Sempron 3000+(Socket 754) & board $100

    Actually, there have been 64 bit Sempr0ns on the retail market since August. In July AMD announced that Semprons as low as 2600+ would have 64 bit register support (the cost was trivial and Intel was introducing 64 bit Celerons). Check Pricewatch. It turns out that the Fry's Via combo...

    BA Fry's: Retail Sempron 3000+(Socket 754) & board $100

    I guess I was just using the term "gaming rig" as a shorthand for a very powerful box, something that would be ideal for video editing, etc. In that case you'd want to drop a few more bucks on a processor (as well as a video card, I gather). You wouldn't really want to have a 2 slot...

    BA Fry's: Retail Sempron 3000+(Socket 754) & board $100

    Bay Area Fry's is offering a retail (CPU fan, 3 year warranty) Sempr0n 3000+ with motherboard for $99.99. The board looks like the ECS Via chipset K8M800-M2 (1.0) with onboard video, SATA, 6 channel audio & 10/100 LAN. The price is good through Tuesday, September 19th. (Edit) I've set...

    Via C3 2000+ w/ mobo - $69 shipped (Acortech)

    CPU cycles are generally redundant these days, but the VIA C3 is an exception, I gather. If you are going to use this as a Media PC you better have a hardware encoding TV card, because this sucker simply won't have the moxie to run a software encoder. Also, Matsonic is one of the hardware...

    BA Fry's through 2/8: Boxed Sempron 2400+ & integrated video mobo for $65.

    I'm afraid the combo (CPU & mobo) and case deals are only available in Bay Area (and Renton) Fry's stores. The other deals I mentioned are apparently good for other Fry's stores, but even then Fry's only serves maybe 15% of the population of the US.

    BA Fry's through 2/8: Boxed Sempron 2400+ & integrated video mobo for $65.

    Word. Fry's has just started offering combos with integrated video recently. Last week they had a boxed Sempr0n 2500+ with a PCCHIPS M825G for $85. This week the combo is a retail Sempron 2400+ for $65. The board has an AGP slot and only 2 PCI slots and is likely PCCHIPS (yes, I know, yech)...

    BA Fry's through 2/1: Boxed Sempron + integrated video mobo for $85.

    ECS boards don't tend to come with any more accessories then PCCHIPS offerings, i.e. cables, setup CD and maybe a case insert, but I agree, the ECS web site is a lot nicer and more reliable than PCCHIPS' home page. I also agree that for just surfing the net and office tasks I agree that...

    BA Fry's through 2/1: Boxed Sempron + integrated video mobo for $85.

    Yes, lighten up a bit, Samus. I don't claim this is the best combo deal ever (that would have to be the $60 XP2500 Barton & ECS Nvidia board last summer), but remember, to a non-gamer the onboard video (which Fry's virtually never before offered with a cheapie combo) is worth $15-$20. So...

    BA Fry's through 2/1: Boxed Sempron + integrated video mobo for $85.

    Thanks for the info, blokes. Newegg has the retail CPU for $76 and the board for $38 shipped, so this combo is about $30 cheaper (or conversely the Newegg prices is about a third higher). I gather that the KM266Pro chipset is somewhere between a KM266 and a KM400. I've used the KM266 Biostar...

    BA Fry's through 2/1: Boxed Sempron + integrated video mobo for $85.

    Fry's has a boxed AMD Sempr0n CPU and an anonymous motherboard with integrated video, which is very unusual for a Fry's cheapie combo (as well as the normal USB 2.0, LAN & sound). There is a picture here. It appears to be a Micro ATX form factor board. $85 for a Sempron combo isn't really...

    Fry's CPU/Mobo Combo deals for 1/7/05-1/11/05

    I was at Fry's last week when they also had the Duron combo for $40. The motherboard is a rather anonymous looking PCCHIPS jobbie (PCCHIPS owns ECS, but ECS is its elite division, i.e. it would be a bargain brand like Asus' Asrock for any more savory company; plain ol' PCCHIPS is absolutely the...

    Biostar IDEQ 210V barebones SFF $143 delivered

    Newegg has the Biostar IDEQ 210V for $139.99 & $2.99 Fedex shipping. The 210V is a SFF (small form factor) computer (you add CPU, drives, memory) that has the VIA KM400A chipset. Serious caveat: this machine is warranted through the manufacturer only (and Biostar is not one of the mobo...

    A boxed Sepr0n 2600+ CPU and motherboard for $80 isn't too bad. They offered this board in a combo with a boxed 2400+ for $75 a week or two ago. Other 1 day sale items include 256 MB PC2700 DDR CAS 2.5 for $4 after $35 MIR, a Hitachi 160GB ATA hard drive for $50 after $60 MIR, a 512 MB stick...

    For the Vodka drinkers: Filter your cheap stuff with Brita filter....

    The feints (the beginning and ends of a distillation run) are only produced with pot stills and patent stills, and they are not discarded, they are rectified. They are returned to the still with more "low wines" (the product of the fermented mash) and distilled again and again and again and...

    Soybomb, try and do your brewing in the cooler months or in the basement (or even a fridge, if necessary), and/or use ale yeast. You'll produce a lot less long-chain fusel alcohols. I've made my share back in college. They taste rather 'hot'; actually, we dealt with 15 gallons of rather...

    Fry's Motherboard Combos

    On the other paw, ECS boards are awfully boring. Not much for overclocking features, little 'Ge-whiz' details (like Sound Storm). But Fry's has tried other vendors for its low end combos (Epox, for one), and come back to ECS. I'm just thankful that they don't use straight PCCHIPS boards...
