Warm - Samsung 500GB SataII for 129.99 after instant savings at LOCAL COMPUSA's

You can get the same thing from Newegg for $119.99, with free shipping. Plus you'd be buying from a much more reliable and friendly place than CompUSA.

HP Laserjet 1020 **UPDATED AGAIN**

I bought the 1020 from Newegg last year and so far it's been a great printer. No delay in printing, I've never had a problem with it. For the price I think it's an excellent deal.

Maximum PC 1 year $4, 2 years $13, 3 years $15

I think there's some misunderstanding.. the $7.20/2 year deal is not available thru Best Deal Magazines. Their 2 year deal is $14.95. As far as I know, they handle all their own subscriptions directly with the publishers rather than farming them out to another party.

Maximum PC 1 year $4, 2 years $13, 3 years $15

I've ordered several subscriptions from Best Deal and only had one problem - a subscription that never arrived. I wrote to customer service and they responded right away and got it taken care of. I'd order from them again. I'd say the best deal I got from them was 4 years of The Week magazine...

DDD has the slowest shipping of any online store I have ever used. At least their great prices make up for that!

Sennheiser HD580 HOT

That's a good price for the DT-880's. For those who are interested, though, be forewarned that these definitely need an amp - they use more power than the Senn's do. As far as being neutral - I guess you could say that. They don't seem to have any sort of sound character of their own so it is...

Sennheiser HD580 HOT

I guess great minds think alike, haha. I also had the Grado SR-325i and Beyerdynamic DT-880, as well as a Gilmore Lite headphone amp and sold all of these. I guess I don't have "golden ears" but I really could not hear any worthwhile difference between the Gilmore and the PA2V2, certainly not...

Sennheiser HD580 HOT

The HD580 is excellent. I have this and the Grado SR80's and these two complement each other very nicely. The Grados are much more forward, like you are right in the middle of the music, whereas the Senn's put you back in the audience. The Senn's are also less efficient so an amp helps. My...

Swan M200 - Open Box - $130 + s/h

No comparison.. Swans beat them hands down! Klipsch speakers sound like they were designed to catch your attention at the store, with emphasis on the bass and high end, whereas Swans are more audiophile quality. That's my opinion, of course, but I think you'll find others will tell you the...

lava Hot! mini Tripods for 3.75 shipping

Check out the resellerratings.com pages on this seller - one of the lowest I've ever seen! http://www.resellerratings.com/seller10227.html But I guess for $3.75 it's not going to break the bank if nothing shows up. I'd be wary about giving them my card number, though.

*Newegg sucks* Swan 5.2 Faux BC $339.50/pair + $19.99 shipping (these are speakers)

Edit: Sorry never mind

Just to elaborate, the speakers are just the base of the towers, each with a powered 8" woofer. The tweeter and midrange section are a separate unit but are sold out. However, this is a great price and these are gorgeous looking speakers, if you already have the top unit and want to improve them.

AV123 ELT bookshelf speakers $149/pair DEAD?

Just so you all know what Jello started, I wasn't gonna buy anything until I saw his first post about the LRS on sale so I looked into it and went from getting a pair of them to adding a center channel to buying three centers and the pair of LRS and now today I ordered a ULW-10 subwoofer from...

Fuji-100-pack-8x DVD+R/-R Spindle $34.99 @ Best Buy *no rebates

I stick with Taiyo Yuden. Rima.com is a good source - they are local, ship the same day, and their prices are decent. But Fuji also has DVD-R's made by TY. The only problem is they carry other manutfacturers too, so you have to check the label to make sure it is made in Japan. When I see...
