IME there is zero chance that this sale will be worth getting out of bed for. I've been stung too many times by CompUSA bogus sales.

tydas · Mar 5, 2005

I wouldn't go so far to say bogus but you will probably have wait in line for the store to open.

The Pentium Guy · Mar 5, 2005

Wait.... this is an early bird sale? What time does the store open and what time does the sale ... close? I dont see it on the site

-The Pentium Guy

papaschtroumpf · Mar 5, 2005

80G drive and Motorola wireless stuff is warmish

racefan · Mar 5, 2005

There is a 10% off make your own sale also but must be used on a product that is not on sale. Good for a high ticket item amybe.

allisolm · Mar 5, 2005

17" LCD monitor $179.99 AR plus you get a Canon printer FAR with it.
316328/313561 Norwood Micro

Did you mean adaptec? If so I find it hard to believe, they would loose tons of money on all of their scsi adapters...

GMElias · Mar 5, 2005

That's an exact quote from the ad. Sorry I misspelled Adaptec. It shows a USB 2.0 and firewire pci card 314359 was $79.99 sale price $39.99.

Yeah, 1394a is getting ready to go. 1394b is way more interesting.

SynthDude2001 · Mar 5, 2005

I'm still kicking myself over missing the 250GB hard drive for $99 deal. I was all set to drive down to Houston to pick one up, but I suddenly got sick for a few days.

Well, it appears that couple of adaptec cards do have 50% discount, but most of the products, especially high priced one do not.

Well, in any case I ordered microsoft mouse with penny shipping, for $10 AMIR it's an excelent deal. Might also pick up kensington notebook adapter later, not a bad deal for $20 AMIR.

phonemonkey · Mar 6, 2005

Meh, ok sale for me. I picked up 3 of the MS wireless Intellimouse (mice) for use at home and on my laptop when I'm at work. The price wasn't too bad - $14/each, either.

Picked up a few more items myself. FREE shipping is nice with no minimum.
