ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB PCIE $179

Ecost has the ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB for $173.00. Free shipping and a $5.95 handling fee bring the total to $178.95 ($39.04 less than Newegg). This'll be perfect for the Intel RetailEdge promotion.

New Barebones Kit - DOA?

Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, clearing the CMOS and making sure the CPU fan is plugged in to the right spot were some of the first things that I did to troubleshoot. Or so I thought. It turns out that resetting the CMOS is accomplished differently that the manual says. Instead...

New Barebones Kit - DOA?

I just got my AOpen EY65 XC Cube, plugged in an Intel P4 2.8C (800MHz FSB, Northwood core, 512KB L2), 2 sticks of 512MB DDR400 memory, and a monitor. When I attempt to turn on the power (correctly switched to the local 110V system), the blue LED on front and a small red LED inside (not the red...

SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

PM me your phone number and billing zipcode and I can check for you in the morning or you can call up your local RadioShack and have them do it. We use a website to check for eligibility but I've never paid attention as to whether or not it is an internal site. I'll find out in the morning...

SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

This actually depends on the market. In the greater Seattle area, it is a $230 phone with a $180 instant rebate for new customers or existing customers adding an additional line of service or with a $180 MIR for existing customers who have had their existing phone for 18 months. Depending on...

SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

You should probably call ahead to make sure your local RadioShack has these in stock but I know the $50 deal (instant or $230 - 180MIR) is good at all of the stores in the greater Seattle area. If you're interested, PM me and I'll set you up. I know my store has a TON of these.

1.3 MP camera, $11 (requires a little work)

My local RadioShack had it for $6.97 (item number 25-983). It's a discontinued item so it will be hard to find but 70% of the RadioShacks in my district had at least one of them as of last week.

1.3 MP camera, $11 (requires a little work)

I just picked up the last camera at Kits Camera (Seattle/Northgate) and the last of the palm sync cables at RadioShack (Seattle/UVillage; number 25-983). Total Cost: $18.78. The pictures really aren't that bad. I would say they're on-par with any other disposable camera. Certainly cheaper...

Microsoft Photo TV viewer for $9.77 retail$160!

If you're looking for one of these things that takes CF/SmartMedia, Radioshack recently devalued the TV Picshare (not the plus) to $0 and told the managers to get rid of them. If you can find some, the manager might just let you take them. They can junction as a picture viewer for any tv with...

Low-Profile 80mm Fans

I guess what I'm really wondering is if reality is in line with the manufacturer's numbers. Is the fan really running around 20dB / nearly silent and is it pushing 20cfm / plenty of air?

Low-Profile 80mm Fans

Hey all. I was looking for an 80mm fan like the L1A that is as thin as possible and found the ZM-OP1. It's supposed to be an add-on for the ZM80C-HP vga heatsink but it looks like it will work as a CPU cooler (I'm planning on using it on the AX-7, specifically). When you run it at 5V/1400rpms it...

Up to 70% off contact lenses!

Mindstorm, You might want to check with your insurance... mine doesn't pay anything for the "fitting" of the contacts but does pay a certain amount on the actual contacts. Not quite a year's supply but enough for a good portion of the year.

50pk Spin-X cdrs 14.99-12.00(instant Rebate) =2.99@OD EDIT: YMMV

I went to pick up a pack of these cds and, even though nothing was posted anywhere in the store, they refused to honor the instant rebate. I must have been the first person to make a fuss about it because it took them a good ten minutes to verify that it was a MIR. Oh, well.

Yeah, I got a white Photon II a while back... the little plastic piece that allows you to switch it on/off broke after 3-4 months, leaving the light permanently on. No big deal, a little poster putty made an acceptable substitute. I find that I use the microlight quite often, maybe 5-6 times a...

Celeron 566 & P2B = No video

Bartman - are you saying that you have a P2B and 1.65v worked? Or do you have another board that just wouldn't work unless you changed to voltage to something other than 1.7v? Matt

Celeron 566 & P2B = No video

No, I definitely haven't run the processor for more than 10 seconds. And it's not that the fan isn't plugged in, it's that the fan is plugged in just fine and won't come on (the motherboard doesn't apply power to the fan headers when there is no CPU detected). I've tried re-seating the...
