HOT STAPLES SUNDAY 1/5-1/11 deal - envision 17" monitor, FAR software, FAR wite out, get paid ~$30 after rebate

Have Staples do a search of stores within driving distance. Excellent chance there will be one close enuf to you. Just did this with the Compaq........ the day I went they were giving GCs for $30 with $150 so on that one I actually came out in the green, free monitor and all. But do have them...

Maybe hot? 8 Piece Tramontina hard anodized pan set at Meijer $59.99

I have used Tramontina for several years and been very satisfied with the pans. For an inexpensive set of anodized aluminum they cook very well. The one drawback is the outside of the pots do not clean as well as the more expensive Caphalon, etc., but then, you are paying 1/4 or less of the...

17'' LCD monitor ONLY $94 shipped

I don't think stores generally honor pricematches, or at least are truly obligated to if it means they will have to sell way below cost. And, even if their policy supports this and they refuse, I don't think you will find the BBB or any other agency taking your side here.

Comet Mid ATX 300Watt Case. $35 shipped.

I just bought a 300 Watt case for an AMD1700 & Biostar MB, sond, land and video chip. Only planning to have a CDRom, running with it. For now will be using Win 98SE. Will I be calling it too close with the power supply? It's for my elderly mother and I was trying not to tax her electric...

??? re: ASUS motherboards (RAID and Gigabit LAN)

I don't think RAID is necessary for the ordinary home user. I'm not sure if there advantages for gamers but my own experience is that I'd just rather use a straightforward HD backup and be able to choose when I do the backup. With RAID, any registry corruptions, incoming virus, etc. are...

Anybaody else "Floppy-less"? I think the floppy is finally dead - I now officially have no use for one.

:) :D I have had a lot of discussions with other half about this. He uses one all the time and I'm convinced I would not want to be without. Use it for Lilo boot, to keep small programs, years old but still good, and most important, to transfer data to machines of friends and family who are...

System for 80 yr old mother

You know, this really is a quality forum. You all are great. I have considered a Duron 1.2, and could get it for $30 less but I'm trying to get a system together that will go for 3 years and I'm afraid the speed of the Duron may make this unrealistic. I put all of your ideas together and went...

System for 80 yr old mother

Just so you know, I am ordering a Biostar MB with sound and audio on board, a 1700 AMD cpu with fan, tested,... with new case the total comes to $157...... which I don't think is too bad. She's is getting a 17" monitor gratis and the other needed parts have been canibalized. I'm going to give...

System for 80 yr old mother

Thanks, checking on this as well. Do you think more than 128 pc133 is needed? She rarely has more than one, two programs as most open at once. She's primarily into email, shopping and sending electronic cards but gets a big 'bang' out of 'staying' young! I'm checkin out the asus on priceline...

System for 80 yr old mother

thanks. Think I saw that mentioned in another post, (not sure which board), earlier today. I went to the site and found the price had trebbled. Grrr. 1700 MHZ. Would not mind a refurb or MB/CPU combo. Will check pricewatch to see what they have on the MB you suggested.

System for 80 yr old mother

I'm trying to build a bargain basement system for my 80 year old mother. She's going to be using Win98 SE (don't want to change). Any suggestions on a very low cost MB that would use the 17 AMD chip? Looking for primarily for MB and CPU. Argh, should have ordered last week. Doggoned...

[DEAD] 256mb PC2100 DDR $30 at OfficeDepot AR AC

Call the HomeDepot Line. Ask them to do a search. Their internet site, which is one of the least efficient I have ever dealt with, is designed to minimize costs. When you enter your zip code, it pops up with the availability of items in the nearest store/warehouse to you. However, if you...

HOT: TODAY ONLY! Maxtor 40 gig 7200 rpm drive + $10 of stuff for $20 at staples.com AR and coupon

These are the same rebate. I'm not sure why there are two ways of listing them because it is the source of much confusion. I got caught out. Read the address to which you are sending the rebate, they are the same. In addition, both request the original bar code. Do not do as I did and thing...
