Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB @ $149, SHIPPED (20c/GB)

It can also be found here: CLUBIT for $148.99 with free shipping. This may be a better deal for some as they do not charge tax to some of the states that Newegg does, such as New Jersey.

Seagate 1TB SATA 32MB Buffer Retail Boxed $269.99

I think it's a hot deal, nice price for a well reviewed 1TB drive. Unfortunately these 1TB drives are staying on the expensive side, granted this deal is hot for today's prices. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, we'll see these start to really come down in price, $200 dollar price would...

Smoldering: OEM Sound Blaster X-Fi on clearance at Fry's B&M and Frys.com $49.90

The Audigy 2 ZS uses a cable with connections that look similar to what the Fatal1ty has. As you can see from this picture: Audigy 2 ZShttp://pclab.pl/zdjecia/artykuly/pila/creative-s750_vs_logitech-z5500/audigy2zs-m.jpg The pins on the back of the card appear to be the same. The cable...

Smoldering: OEM Sound Blaster X-Fi on clearance at Fry's B&M and Frys.com $49.90

I jumped on the Newegg deal as the Fatal1ty seems to have the front audio connector, you can see it in the picture of the card. I too have the Audigy 2 ZS so, hopefully, I will be able to still use my front break out box.

Crysis - (PC game) + $10 gift card for $39.99

GeForce 8800GT Best Prices / In-Stock Listing

Well, I installed the card. Replaced my older evga 7900 GTO, that one gave me a 3DMark Score (3dmark06) of 5688 3DMarks. The new BFG 8800 gave me a score of 10634 3DMarks. Well, that is a nice improvement. Now I'm set for COD4, Crysis, and the other new games that are coming out.

8800gt price cut confirmed?

I do not think they will be reduced just before the holidays. Considering how fast these sold out in so many places, my bet would be that they will stay in the same price range for a couple of months, of course there is always that sale price/coupon find.

I'm thinking of upgrading my card as well. With every game I have more and more problems. I currently have an ati AIW9800 pro. My processor is a Intel P4, 2.54GHZ, 1 gig of ram. Is a GeForce 7800 GS overkill for this machine? Is the processor a limiting factor here - or can I get...

This is really a great price - for the collectors Edition of Star Wars Galaxies and Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy total $45. Thats $22.50 each game. IMHO, thats a steal on two current games that normally retail for $50-$80 and $40 each.

According to the review linked above by another person, the 9500 Pro's outperfom the XFX GeForce 4 Ti 4200 but not by much. For $99 I think this is a hot deal - not that I will take advantage of this deal, I have a 9700 pro and just picked up a 9500 at $150 for a second pc a couple of weeks ago. :D
