    Clearance IP35-E at frys YMMV

    None in stock in the Austin, Texas store. For all of you wishing for a Frys, don't feel bad. Once you have a Frys in your state, you have to pay sales tax on your purchases at Outpost. You may save $10 here and there, but dealing with the parking, the lines, and the crummy return process...

    Clearance IP35-E at frys YMMV

    I have been eyeballing this board for a new system I hope to build over the holidays. It is tempting to run down to Frys and see if they have one in stock. This is $10 cheaper than the Egg, although given that sales tax will be a few $ more than shipping, the prices difference is even...

    Trendnet wireless router/adapters $4.99 AR

    A warning on these rebates. I bought 2 adapters the last time these were on sale. I work right near a CompUSA, so I did an online purchase with an instore pickup. My rebate was rejected as I did not pick up the adapters with in the date window of the rebate. My protests did not work. They...

    Good Combo Deal On Budget Video Cards and Motherboards @ Newegg

    This is a bit off-topic, but hopefully of wide interest. I have purchased inexpensive CPU/ECS Mobo combos at Fry's in the past. Of the 3 such combos I have purchased, 2 of them had significant problems which were the result of poor quality ECS motherboards. Even the "good"...

    Wiikey $11 Shipped

    From a manufacturing point-of-view, this thing is dirt-cheap to make. That little 8-bit microcontroller costs about $3. You buy a Wiikey from your competition, and copy his code. That little tiny PCB (printed circuit board) is about 50 cents. Throw in the the flashing of the micro...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobly = $29.99 @ Circuit City

    It's $1 cheaper at Fry's. Good info for price-matching opportunities. I grabbed 1 at Fry's, but have been too busy to install it yet. My rig is a bit old, AMD 3500+ single core, although I updated the video to a GeForce 7900GS not too long ago. Hope it runs OK.

    AMD Athlon 64 3400+ CPU & Motherboard $120 at NewEgg.com

    This is NOT a repost. I bought the last combo deal. That was a socket 754 3400+ with motherboard for $99. This is a socket 939 3400+ with motherboard for $120. Both motherboards are NFORCE4, which is good. The manufacturers are ECS and Biostar, which is bad. I personally liked the...

    Issue with Buy.com

    The problem is that unlike most other stores, BUY.COM is just a storefront which funnels your orders to someone who can fulfill it. My brother used to work for Ingram Micro, one of the biggest wholesalers of computer equipment. Their main business is supplying computer parts...

    1gig Ultra DDR PC3200 $59.99 AR +ship

    I disagree. Onrebate puts ridiculous requirements on their rebates, such as using their label on the mailing envelope. They claim they want an invoice, and then in their FAQ, say that the packing list is an acceptable substitute for an invoice. Then they reject my rebate, because I sent a...

    DEAD - Get 50% off purchase price of Xandros Desktop Home or Premium Edition v.4.0

    Is this any better than Ubuntu? I had a heck of a time getting Fedora to work right, and then I tried the newest Ubuntu distro. I had an old Dell 1Ghz Pentium on the internet in about an hour, and had the wireless and printer working in about another 30 minutes. And I am a Linux...

    AMD 3400 + motherboard only $89.99

    For a different perspective, I just wrapped up a total rebuild of my Mom's PC with the Gigabyte board. About the only thing left over from her Pentium 400 is a CD-RW drive and the case. The Gigabyte card has the built-in video, whereas the Biostar does not. Mom is not a big...

    Prey for PC $32.49 shipped

    I finished this game last night. You can blow through it in about 10 hours. At 1st, I enjoyed it quite a bit. The novelty of the anti-gravity walkways and the portals was fun. I am not so big on the spirit-walk thing. There were a number of puzzles that seemed very contrived...

    OfficeMax Ends Mail-In Retail Rebates

    The idea of mail-in rebates is pretty simple. Offer the customer a better price based on the fact that a large percentage of people will never get their rebate dollars. Customers will either: 1) Not mail in their rebate 2) Not meet the requirements 3) Not cash their check...

    Sin: Episode 1...$7.99! Starts 7/2@Circuit City

    I purchased this for $12.99 at Frys when it first came out. Like many games today, they released it a bit too soon. Seemed to work OK once the 1st patch was released, however. It was a fun game, not up to Half-Life-2 standards in terms of graphics nor level design, but still fun...

    Linksys WRT54G for $45 plus shipping

    [ Thanks, your post wraps up most everything nicely. My home DSL speed tests out at: "Your current bandwidth reading is 1534.60kbps which means you can download at 191.83 KB/sec. from our servers." So my laptop could only download at 1.5Mbps correct? I wondered why the speed was 10 to...

    Linksys WRT54G for $45 plus shipping

    This is really meant of more of a reminder to get your homework done than to prevent him from going to naughty websites or strictly enforcing some sort of internet ration. It also prevents him from playing games all night on weekends after I go to bed. The router and DSL modem sit on a...

    Linksys WRT54G for $45 plus shipping

    The newer version-5 routers have smaller onboard memory, and therefore cannot be used with various 3rd party firmware. Linksys is now marketing the version-4 as a WRT54GL, but with a higher price tag and no rebates. The L is for Linux. The official Linksys firmware for version 4 and below...

    Zyxel .g router, cards $19.99 ea CompUSA 1/8-1/14

    I bought the router for my dad about a year ago when it was $5 after rebate. The initial firmware was bit buggy, but since about 6 months ago, it has been solid. Zyxek has been around for a while, and manufactures a lot of the routers sold by other firms.

    turbotax and quicken for $39 and get a $20 gift card...

    "stfu" and "pi55 off" are civilized? I was pointing out that I am as happy with TurboTax basic as I was with Deluxe. The point about the free state is a good one, and one I overlooked since we don't have state income tax in Texas. As for the activation comment, you're right it's...

    $2.99 ea AR .g router/cards/adapter

    Does anyone know who manufactures these for CompUSA, or can point to a review of this stuff? The price is right, but you can spend hours dealing with crappy wireless stuff, particularly if the drivers are no good.

    MSI motherboard defective capacitors settlement.

    Large motherboard manufacturers buy capacitors by the millions. It's not like MSI went down to Capacitors-R-Us and said, "hey, give me some of those cheap-ass ones that leak after 6 months. They're .001 cents cheaper per capacitor, right?" A supplier of capacitors had a...

    Chronicles of Riddick $12.90

    I played this a while back, and I give it my recommendation. Most games based upon movies are worthless, but this was the exception. The "see in the dark" aspect was fun. I agree with the comments about replay value, however. Not sure I'd play it more then once.

    Neat! fM Stereo Transmitter 179

    I have one of these (well the older FM25A model) I got it on EBAY about 3 years ago for about $30. First of all, it is a kit. If you don't know how to solder, this is not a good item for you. The wall-wart power supply is crap. I use an old AT-style power supply, and the sound is...
