256 mg ddr 400 for $2.99 AR from Tiger Direct

Ok, I think we can all chill a little here. First, Im not a Tiger Direct fan, never bought anything from them. Ive read the posts, so caution is definately in order. Again, no problem. Shipping is definately outrageous at near $10. Again, no problem. However, a little more research...

Half-Life 2 VIA Steam

Thanks for the reply. I have friends to borrow from, but I would really rather have the game myself. With the key, can I get it directly from steam? Just a question.

Half-Life 2 VIA Steam

I have a question for anyone who wants to try. I bought HL2 from frys for $25. It wont load past disc 2. It is the asia pacific version, if that matters. It did load steam however. Now, im not sure if frys will exchange for the same title, but im going to try. My question is this. With...

Gem 17" LCD Flat-Panel Display $149.99 after rebate, 19" $239 after rebate

I bought one of these during the Houston Frys Grand Opening. I took it back after finding it had a 30 ms response. Since I primarily game on my pc, that was not acceptable to me. It might be for you for your particular usage. Im too lazy to post the link to the product, but a google search...

Wow! I was at the Webster Store. I didnt have to wait in line for checkout at all. At least half of the registers were holding up there little red signs. All in all, not a bad experience. Was it just me, or were most people here expecting a little more from the grand opening? There really...

Not too bad really. The line just before open was just to the end of the building so maybe about 150 peeps. I was able to get everything on my list. If they actually have decent stuff tommorrow probably will be worse, being Saturday and all.

I got the USB but no studio fun. Not sure I care about it after reading more about it. Funny thing tho. I never was able to get that overclocking application to work. Shows info about the system, but only allows voltage adjustments, no fsb or clock. Can do that through bios so its no big...

Biostar M7NCD Pro (nForce 2) $45.04 (AR) Free shipping! @ eWiz

I ordered mine from eWiz, as stated above. When I was first considering Geeks, they had the proper board for the rebate for sale. If it doesnt say M7NCD-P (pro) then spend a buck or two more and find one that does. The rebate is very specific about the board. Last I checked, Newegg still had...

Hopefully I will be able to comment on eWiz in about 4 to 5 days. I will let you know if you want. I saw the computer geeks sale and nearly bought it from them but, if everything works out, 3 bucks is still 3 bucks. lol. We will see.

I knew I should have bought it when it said 60.04!!!! They changed the price! Oh well, still a decent deal, just maybe not the best. Wait a minute, i followed this link and then selected the ewiz site and i came up as 60.04 again. So, if thats right, then it still works out to 45.04. Good...

Title says it all. I have reviewed the rebate and dont find that it matters where the purchase is made. Looks good to me as I am in the market for a budget nforce 2 mobo. Any comments on the board would be very welcome because I think i will pull the trigger on this one unless someone talks...

Duron overclocked problem

I purchased a Duron 800 which had been bridged and promised to run at 950. When i first bought it, I tested it at 950 (9.5 x 100) to check and it ran but was a little warm (say 55c) so i backed it down to 900 (9 x 100) which gave temps in the high 40s. I have been running it for several months...

This may be a local deal for the grand opening for the Houson Frys. At this price, no doubt its not burn proof, but seems to be decent speed for the price. Anyone know about these drives?
