Chip makers with high yield rates do it all the time (but they burn out fuses, making software repair impossible). They're running a low-marginal-cost business. Their limitation is in how many customers they can get to buy their products. If it costs them $1M to start a production line on one...
Watch out, these are probably Deltas and not Seasonics (Antec's early Earthwatts were extremely well-reviewed Seasonic units - these havn't been reviewed much since they're using the same name).
Excellent, excellent deal - solidly built by Seasonic (like the Earthwatts line used to be - http://www.sysopt.com/features...s/article.php/3660031), with juicy modular goodness, and double graphics-card plugs. The only other thing I could have asked for is a 120mm fan or two.
*All* LCD brands are "just running on their names nowadays" - they're outsourced to a few factories in China & Taiwan, using no unique technologies. When there is a difference in build quality, it gets put down to that particular model, not all units of that brand.
Most likely, the secret is that everything they give out costs them zero. They offer to publish a menu and work a limited promotional coupon offering for lesser-known restaurants in an area (snagging probably 1%), and in exchange they get the profits from printing a limited number of gift...
Picked up one today at the Wheaton, MD BB for $52, both marked on shelf and in register. One of only three boxes(3 diff brands) in the entire 'computer case' section, but I dunno about what they had in back.
Deal is not dead by any means, this was the first store I checked - thanks RBC.
Tip for those looking - before you scour the store, find a clerk on the floor and ask him to look up a SKU for you. Then, stand behind him and watch the monitor. Some are false positives, but I don't think any false negatives.
So today I went to the Wheaton, MD store and happened on a helpful clerk.
According to the computer, 1 in stock at that store, five other nearby stores had 0 in stock, and Conn. Ave, Washington DC store had 2 in stock. He said that the one at their own store was a display and they couldn't...
Go through all the shit, put in a few hours of whatever legitimate methods of protest you have, including calls.
Then try again, but sound exhausted on the phone, and explain "I had hoped we could solve this without involving the courts in this..."
Welching on this level of rebate could...
This is the last thing I was planning on getting, but I'd buy it in a second... if the rebate scheme weren't so skeevy. Hell, at $100 this is an insta-purchase for someone who doesn't even need one. But I don't trust rebates. At all.
Good luck for those who do - updates later please.

Betterer. The deal with these (infocus made one to compete) is to get a DVD-quality picture that's wall-sized, as cheap as possible. It's an extension of the very, very popular Lumenlabs buy-a-15"-LCD-and-DIY-a-Projector idea...
I guess the second one I got a year ago is expired, but the first one worked beautifully - a very generous Greek dinner for two at a nice local place for net total $20, using a $10->$4 (they were 60% off at the time) coupon for 25off35. College students who never get to order...
The recommended cleanup procedure? Open a window, and walk out of the room. Even if you don't, I believe I remember calculations that given an average air replacement rate, you would never end up going above EPA mandated air concentrations by breaking a single CFL - though I certainly wouldn't...
Antec seems to have learned their lesson with previous models and the reputation that came with them. The Antec Earthwatt, neoHE, and Truepower Trio are OEMed from the same shop that builds Seasonic. Rock solid PSUs with 80%+ efficiency.
Sudoku is full of easy/medium/hard levels that are solvable by a simple looping algorithm and significant amounts of time.
Then you get to the very hard levels, and it starts requiring mental recursion and nested if-thens. Where you have 30 different possibilities, and errors don't show up...
It's a testament to the power of right-wing hatemongers that you can highlight Michael Moore as the example of radical liberalism when Noam Chomsky is in the list.
And good deal.
What kind of videos?
A standard definition 480p DVD or 480i TV signal (or rip) will play perfectly on this, with no loss of quality - at its native resolution. As a computer display it fails - 480 lines of resolution hasn't been acceptable for 15 years or so, browsers are built expecting...
This is a DIY projector design taken to production level with commodity parts - it is almost as different from other LCD projectors on the market as they are from DLP projectors. It is quite a bit closer to having a normal LCD screen, in use.
The company grew from a supplier of plans to...
They have all sizes of 8" memory foam mattresses available at $300 shipped - might be worth a look, since they claim normal price is 800 + shipping. Any memory foam experts around?

This: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=63038 says that HL2: episode 1 (what they renamed aftermath) will NOT require half life 2 to play, and will have 4-6 hours of gameplay.
It's now $16 pre-order price
I think this is a great way to get a game license, for people who just...
If it floats on the ground it should float on water, albeit possibly with a risk of shorting out. The problem is that if customers try it over deep water, they'll quite possibly lose it if it goes out of range or loses pressure - and unlike toy boats, toy hovercrafts sink.
At these prices, why not just buy a hard drive mp3 player w/ USB-mass-storage drivers? The freeness with which you handle these things is sort of diminished when they're so expensive that losing them would be painful.
My 256 cruzer lost its keychain-load-bearing plastic bridge and, without...
Typically, only MMOs have monthly fees.
This is not an MMO. It's an RPG in the same sense as Diablo 2.
And it doesn't have a monthly fee. And they charge for expansions, no shit. So stop saying how much it rocks that they aren't charging you a subscription.
"DEAL - the city bus -...
I can't remember where I read a forum discussion about the phenomenon, but the conclusion was that it was something wrong from the factory with one particular batch of mice.
Not to threadcrap, but while we're on the topic, you might look at some of the more important economic indicators out there than bankruptsy reform - wage growth, national debt/deficit, personal debt, trade deficit, the impossibly low interest rates and overvalued real estate trends of the last...
2063 and counting up 1k every 3 seconds
Looks like they are, in fact, going to increase it to infinity - in a decreasing amount.
So they added 1mb/minute a few days ago, 1k/minute a month from now, 1byte/minute in a year, that type of thing.
Blizzard (against consumer protection laws mandating the validity of resale) does not allow you to use a CD key that's already been used to make an account. Their database is referenced to a hash of the CD key, rather than the actual account name, and it's impossible for them to delete it...
Yup, decent buy, the back on mine just cracked off(at the arms) after two years of heavy usage with a 280lb guy.
The cushion gets and stays compressed pretty fast, buy I find it still sittable - I'm now using it as a stool until I find myself a cheap recliner.
Smartt: These sizes of RAM, and speed of processor are only really useful for gaming. I recommend 1GB-1.5gb for playing the current top of the line games. But if you only payed $500 for that system, you skimped on the video card, which I would buy LONG before I added more RAM.
They have a lot of:
Band posters
Matrix posters
LOTR posters
And it averages out to about $2/poster when you consider shipping for several of them (Hey, I needed dark wallpaper :))
