I called today and both stores were out of them
They are:
1. Demo models
2. No box or cables unless they can find them
3. Standard 90 days parts one-year labor (hope I got that right)
4. No extended warranty can be purchased, as they are clearance
5. Last years model according to the...
Hello
I bought a Viewsonic VX2035WM on Friday from Circuit city for $299 with a $30 rebate and today is was in the OfficeMax ad for $249 after instant $50 savings. I of course went back to Circuit City and price matched and still get the $30 rebate so $220 is the final price and I really like...
As for the game, I think it did a great deal for the gaming community in forcing people to toss out the old crap they had and buy some good hardware. These people will be glad they did when they play FarCry and BF2 (when released)and many other new games at full resolution. As for the game, I...

I have a BB very close to my house and yes the policies they have suck but I used to work there so I know how bad they actually suck and what has to be done to get around them. I also have problems with the extra 10% but I don't care. The Fry's is 45 minutes away and $5 in gas so I...
Hello,
I pre-ordered the expansion pack at BB for $10 and it came with a T-shirt. Today is the release so I took the NorCal Fry's ad to BB and PM'd the 23.99 and BB has a free "Making of Doom3" and "weapons guide" in a case that appears to contain a disc but only has a cheezy guide inside...
Dude,
Fry's in NorCal has it Thursday for 37.99 but then you take the ad to Best buy and use the $5 GameCard coupon for 32.99 plus Tax.
Sweet deal if you ask me
Nick
Hello,
I did it again
Went to BestBuy and bought a gamer gift card which has a $5 coupon
PM the Frys ad which has the game for 22.99
Regular price is $29.99 PM frys ad @$22.99 - $5.00 coupon = 17.99 plus tax
YMMV because I used the Frys ad (NorCal)
Good Luck
Nick
Hello,
Just got back from Best Buy with my Burnout 3 game for the Xbox for 29.99 plus tax
Game $49.99 to $34.99 after Frys ad Pricematch
$34.99 minus $5 game coupon from the BB game card they sell in the store.
Total cost 29.99 plus tax
Be sure and watch that the $5 coupon is...

Man O Man,
I just got a 23 and will be running my new system with it this week. From the sopund of things I should do the setup on a normal 17" LCD so I get the BIOS screen and then after setting everything I can go to the new display. I will be running a BFG ultra OC but the drivers are...
Thanks for the information,
I sent back the Gigabyte MLB and OCZ RAM and got an MSI K8N Neo2 Plat and 1Gig PC3200XLPRO Corsair memory. I have all the parts except for the FX-53-939 which should be here Thursday latest. I will check and see if I get the same video issues as jcav5, I'm running a...
Whew,
Good to hear the OEM works.
Just bought XP Pro from Newegg OEM and will be installing this week when the CPU gets here to complete the system.
Nick
Hello,
I have the K8N Neo2 MLB and have just been looking at it for a Zalman install. The backplate does not work becasue it comes thru the MLB and the screw holes don't fit the Zalman gold Nipples. I ordered Corsair RAM which I know is big and it should be very close on the fit with Zalman. I...
Hello,
I have a new MSI K8N neo2 platinum board coming and I want to know 2 things.
1. Can anyone send me to a place that tells the proper sequence when installing a new oS on the MSI board with 2 WD raptor in RAID 0, when to update oS and then drivers?
2. My memory DDRAM 512M| C2 OCZ400512R3...
Hello,
I'm putting together a new system and I need a CPU fan for my FX-53 939 socket CPU
I wanted a Zalman but the site does not list my MLB as one that will work with the cooler.
The MLB is a GIGABYTE "GA-K8NSNXP-939" nForce3 Ultra Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket 939 CPU The case is a...
I talked to BFG today about getting Doom# for the card I just bought but didn't have the game bundle, they told me I was basically out of luck. I did go to Frys (northern California) today and they did have a ton of PNY 6800GT cards in stock and ready to purchase. The cards had a Doom3 sticker...
NO No NO,
I bought the higher end card which retails for $499 and paid No shipping and No tax
If I had bought the same card from Outpost I would have paid $499 + $47 Tax and shipping
Chumbo does not charge for shipping (on this card) and no tax (different state)
There we go, clear as mud
Nick
I just got a BFG 6800 Ultra OC from Chumbo.com and I paid $499.
No Tax and No shipping and it shipped 2day fedex on wednesday and got here today.
I cancelled my outpost order and saved $47 that I would have paid for Tax and shipping.
I didn't even know about chumbo until I saw in on the BFG...
I ordered the Ultra and was told it would be available the 15th. I was sent a note today saying they can't meet demand, blah, blah. I called and was told they will now ship at the end of the month like oneshot said. I don't have all my other parts yet so I'll ride it out and monitor the other...
Gaming on my 23 cinema is wonderful and thats why I'm getting the new one with DVI for my new PC.
Quality LCD = more money= more happy= better gamer.
I have read Dell top of the line is rated very well by Maximum PC mag. Check there site for review.
Nick
Wow,
Great advice already, I don't plan to OC beyond the BFG card but I will look at better RAM and a different PSU. I do plan on getting a UPC for surges and for when the AC in my house kicks on and the lights dim.
Thanks again
Keep em coming
Nick
