DEAD :Newegg: Get 10% cash back via PayPal on orders over $200. (limit $500 order )

Then you have a few more hours to pick up the OCZ Vertex 60GB for $209. It's a shell-shocker. That and the 10% off puts it at $170. No tax. I ordered one. PEACE. EDIT: It's $170 after the $20 mail-in rebate as well.

Lexar JumpDrive 1GB USB2.0 Secure Flash Drive

I had a Lexar 128MB Sport model (red with the rubber casing). During Hurrican Francis, I had moved my car into the backyard, and I'd lost the drive with my keys. I couldn't find them or move the car for a month. I eventually found them both in the grass near my car, after a hurricane and...

Drove a modified WRX-STi this afternoon

STi's great, but AFAIK, you can just as well grab a used WRX and build into an STi killer for less than the price of a new WRX. I think with engine management, up/downpipes, exhaust, coilover suspension, lightweight 17's or 18's and the necessary sway/strut bars, you'd have a car that'll beat a...

Lava Hot! RC Tank 7.99 Free Shipping!!

Anyone got a link to better pics or a video or something of this? It seems pretty neat, but $8 is still too much if it's a crappy little tinker toy that'll fall apart in 2 seconds. That linky is awful light on the details. PEACE.

Nice Deal 2250mAh AA NiMH Batteries free shipping

Get the basic charger they come with. I forget the name, but I ordered it from batteryspace.com too and it came with 12 2250mAh Powerizer batts. Yeah, they get hot while charging, but no hotter than my electric plane batteries do when I'm charging them. Just wish the current was adjustable so...

HOT!! Viking 128MB Compact Flash for $13.14 + Free Shipping AR @ Amazon

I'm with Johnbear on this. I got the Viking 256MB CF card a few weeks back for $35 AR (was $25 AR about a week later). Got it for the other hot deal I got in on, my Canon A80 cam. I can fit over 100 4MP pics at full resolution and superfine quality. That's the max setting. I don't think...

NOT HOT! OD "loses" $180 OFF Coupon for A80 Buyers

I got mine after it was on backorder for about a week or so. They billed my debit card for $191. Seems fine to me. It took them almost two weeks after the camera arrived before they billed me. I had half a mind to cancel the order to see if I could get a refund. :D PEACE.

Sony cuts PlayStation 2 price to $149

Should cut the price to $129. But the PS3 won't launch in Japan for 1.5-2 years, and the PSP is being released this Winter, and they probably can't expect to sell a $130 console (with better graphics) against a $150-200 handheld. PEACE.

If I order on backorder, will the coupons still apply? This is too good a deal to pass up, and the world and its granny has somehow cashed in on this bargain before I could. So, any way for me to still get this camera on the cheap? These coupons are only for the online store I assume. :( PEACE.

Should I use 128bit WEP to secure my wireless network?

I have to ask the same. I just ordered a MS 802.11g router, and was gonna set it up without WEP encryption. A friend of mine mentioned that it slows the wireless connection noticeably, although it won't matter much for browsing with the overhead a g router has. But is it honestly worth it for...

Yeah, we had a 802.11b router from Linksys when it first came out. But damn if their routers don't cost a bit more than anyone else's. Personally, I'm a set it and forget it kind of guy, so I don't know if I care too much about the firmware upgrades enough to warrant the extra cost. In any...
