That deal doesn't sound too bad, but you really have to see how the service is in your area. I tried their service a little while ago and couldn't get reception anywhere near my house. It was dead for like a block radius, and I'm in the city. So take that into consideration when looking at...

Audiovox Portable DVD and screen 399

Audiovox is a public company (VOXX) and makes what seem to be lower end electronics. However I have heard that they have a contract with Ford to provide the LCD's etc for their SUV's. Sounds like a pretty good deal for a stand alone portable.

UT for 4.99 at Staples B&M

I was just in Staples and picked up Unreal Tournament for 4.99 out the door. It looked like they were clearing merchandise as tehy also had a few EA Classics - NBA, NHL, a couple others from '99 at $4.99 also. I thought this was a pretty cool deal for a highly regarded FPS.

I think this thread is getting a little confusing. The header is for the Kt7Turbo, but it seems like the people here who have had success are doing this upgrade on their Pro2A boards. I looked at Iwishiwaselite's specs andit shows pro2a. Has anyone gotten this to work on a Turbo? Raid or non.
