Samsung SpinPoint F1 ECO Green 500Gb for $50 (Warm?)

"Lame" seems a tad harsh. 500G 7200 tend to be about $60. As you say, the slower (assuming quieter) speed would be ideal for an HTPC.

Prebuilt vs. Custom

Hop on newegg, punch in the hardware and see for yourself. Pre-builts tend to be less expensive, but you get what they offer in most cases, and compromise on what you want. Who makes the PSU? What brand is the RAM? If you don't want the 8500 (understandable) perhaps its worth getting the one...

That'd be a PNY according to the "PNYTechnologies" tag I think. Looks like clubit sells these for $270, but E&A would make this pretty nice if it worked...

Huge deal of AMD processors

I don't believe its racist (I certainly hope not) - its just that shills seem to always select that Avatar. It may be the first in the selection or something.

Sennheiser PC140 Gaming Headset - $17.99 shipped

Well, I haven't heard them, so I wouldn't recommend them- yet. Try and find some reviews for them. I am only buying them for gaming because I seem to crunch a pair every time I go to a LAN party.

A8N-SLI Memory DDR400 or DDR600?

The lesson with AMD64 chips is that if you plan on overclocking, you may not want to blow a lot of cash on high-speed memory. Take a look here: Some benchmarks The same info is available on these forums, but I can't find em right off the bat.

This is pretty nice. Looks like it is broader than just Atlanta- I grabbed some tix to Boston from Seattle for late January at the same price. Perhaps a fare war now the Delta is going cheap? (And you get to hang out in Detroit! :) )

Gotensan01- While I do agree that you have legal recourse for companies who fail to fullfill rebates, the BBB is not going to help. The BBB is a voluntary organization that companies pay dues to. I seriously doubt Tiger Direct is a member, and even if they were, the worst the BBB could do is...

HOT! MX Duo for $60! NO REBATES

I would disagree, jodhas. I have this combo, and I think it is superb. I am not a "hardcore" gamer, but have noticed no lag what so ever in BF1942 or other FPS games. I have heard the non-MX is not so hot for gaming, and that the MX700 mouse is much more sensitive. I would try it out before...

Galactic Civilizations for $20.89 Shipped FedEx 2-day

This is an excellent TBS game. The graphics are, well... OK., but this is a small setback for those who love strategy games. One of the most pleasing aspects is that the AI is pretty smart, and to the best of my knowledge it doesn't cheat. If you like Strat games, this one is worth checking out.

Replacing 9500 Pro Fan?

Whatever you do, ensure that the new HSF has good contact with the GPU. When you take the old fan off, you will be surprised at how much thermal goop ATI used to make contact with the GPU. The reason is the metal shim around the GPU, which is slightly higher than the GPU and nearly impossible...

earn 1.45% on whatever you keep in your paypal accounts

I believe this is a variable rate in a money market fund- but it has been a while since I looked into this. As far as adding another line to your taxes, I think you have to make over $400 in interest. At 1.45%, you probably have more lines on your taxes than most of us. :)
