Good Deal ---TX-SR702B Onkyo 7.1 THX receiver -- 399.99 shipped!

Being a proud owner, it's a great receiver for its price class. I paid $719 in a combo deal through Crutchfield last X-mas. At $399, it's a steal! Nice find OP!

Norelco Quadra 7 at Eckerds - burning hot

CVS didn't get every Eckerd store. All stores in the southern states were acquired by CVS. The ones in the northeast region were purchased by John Coutu (Brooks Pharmacy). Don't expect this deal to be found @ CVS. All CVS owned 'Eckerd' stores will be rebranded (if they already haven't been)...

[Question] Do I need to RMA my Gigabyte 6600GT PCIe?

Would you provide a list of the components in the system besides the video card? It could be a single component or a combination of components that's causing the problem.

Thanks a lot OP! I've been holding off for a while and needed to get a phone since the work phone service provider has changed and the perks of 'In' calling have gone. I've had my eye on the A630 for a long time now... $69.99 could NOT be beat. My girlfriend saw the deal and switched from Sprint.

Circuit City - Philips 52x CD-R - 100 Pk Spindle - $9.99

Found these while going through their online Outlet. Went into the store and had the sales rep scan to confirm. It's still marked $39.99 on the floor, but rang up $9.99. YMMV but not a bad deal on a spindle.

Do OEM Seagates come with 5 year warranty?

I'll confirm that they do. Build a system a few months back for a co-worker using 2 200GB Seagate OEM drives. Verified via their warranty tool that they have 5 years from the manufacturing date.

Asus A7V880 not reconizing my 2600 correctly!

Do you have different RAM you could test with? I ran into a similar issue where the system would become very unstable immediately following post with Kingston ValueRAM. Once I switched in some Crucial, it was rock-solid. Additionally, what kind of power supply are you using?

Asus A8V Deluxe V Abit AV8 Via

I've built systems using both boards. The ABIT gets the edge on features. However, given ABIT's current financial state, I'd go with the ASUS for the time being.

Anyone have ASUS A8V Deluxe?

I initially tried using some GeiL PC3200 RAM that worked (and still works) stably in a Pentium-4 rig. Nothing but BSOD's. When I switched over to Kingston (was on the approved list on ASUS' site), it's been stable and performs well. There's a thread somewhere in hot deals for HyperX @ Outpost...

Asus A8V. Either VIA sucks or I do.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who experienced this 'quirk'. I've been building systems for a few years, but I've never seen a board that's been so damn finicky (sp?) about memory. I tried two known working power supplies, and a minimalist config. It ended up being the RAM - Geil PC3200...

advice on a system setup wishlist off of newegg?

Not bad. I'm with Jessie on using less expensive, yet quality, RAM. Outside of that, the ABIT AV8 would be a nice board to use to save a few more bucks. Used it in a recent system build and the overall level of features at a ~$110 price point for a Socket-939 board was hard to beat. I...
