Philips Acoustic Edge $59.95 OEM with cables Install CD No PowerDVD

[DealyDo]

Got mine today. OEM version not retail. Comes in a white box with OEM on front, card, cables, install CD with drivers, Sonic Foundry stuff, no POWER DVD

I found it by going to Bizrate.Com, going to Computer Hardware section and entering "PSC70617" in search. It gives a list of prices. It should be the top choice at $ 59.95 This place has a nice rating.

Not a bad price for OEM Shipping was $ 9.75 but I got two-day for $ 11.25 or something.

I think that case quantity is only for those wishing to buy a CASE of those things.

Hehe sounded pretty good, until you said case

 

[FrysSux]

Yeah, the case quantity is for their reference. The company is pretty reliable. They're located in sunnyvale. I've bought stuff from them a few times. You gotta call in ahead if you wanna pick something up from them. Cheap prices, and you can save on the shipping charges by going to their store to pick it up. Located by the Costco off of Lawrence Expressway.

The comments about them on Reseller Ratings aren't very good but most of them are from January and before so maybe they've shaped up. Anyway, here's the link to ComputerGate. I think from the description "Bulk Pack" that this may be OEM but I'm not sure.

I've ordered from ComputerGate also. They're OK.

"Bulk Pack" = OEM (or, card-in-a-bag as I like to call it). Most of the stuff they sell is OEM.

The case quantity is info only. They list it on almost everything they sell. Don't know why.

 

[whitelight]

pretty good price.

what doesn't the oem version come with? the software package of powerdvd and all the other blah software?

 

[DealyDo]

I'll get mine tomorrow. I'll update it to include what you get.

 

Compusa has this card for $69.99 with a $20 mail in rebate.. I got one last week and have loved it ever since!!

 

[stso]

is it still $59.99 before at CompUSA? I gotta go check it out ...

 

[DealyDo]

I've checked every CompUSA here in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio that I've come across-AND there is and haven't seen one AE sound card yet.

 

[dummjock]

Maybe not

Installed to day in my W2K Overclocked P700 to 938mhz. This is a VIA chip motherboard (Asus P3V4X) Upgraded drivers using the Philips site to newest drivers. This card is great. CounterStrike is much better. I can tell where and how close someone is by their footsteps.

No problems, Hiss, etc. I used the instructions from the Turtlebeach site to uninstall all the SB gabbage before I install this card.
