[gorcorps]

wow... sold out in less than an hour. Not good for me who needs this badly .

 

[lucasa]

Anybody know of something equivalent that comes with firewire? I've been lookin', haven't found anything that does
1)USB
2)Firewire
3)Audio jacks (headphones and mic)
4)media card readers

And not that crappy CompUSA one, that one needs one USB cable in the back for every one it offers in the front... won't hub it for ya...

 

[isekii]

damn i could've used one of these

 

[rezinn]

Just check ebay, there should be plenty of them on for inflated prices by now.

 

[Hawk]

Comp Geeks had the beige one for $6.99 about a month ago. It's $9.99 now still...

Here

The black one is more expensive though...

Check out this company: FrontX
They're based in Malaysia, but they somehow have figured out how to ship to the US for very cheap prices. (I think that they're government subsidized.) Their system allows you to customize your panel to include the ports you want. I ordered from them and it worked out great.

I don't think that their prices will work for everyone. If there's a pre-built unit that matches what you need, you'll probably find it cheaper elsewhere. But if you're looking for a specific combination of front panel connections that you can't find anywhere else, you'll probably be able to put it together with parts from this company.

**WOOTALICIOUS**

I actually would have ordered this if I had been near a computer last night.

 

[DonCrescas]

The Geeks have this on sale all the time during their greenlight specials which are running all month from 11am-2pm pst. They put different stuff up on different days, so you might want to check back over the week if they have it.

Beige

Black

Thanks. I'll have to price one out and compare it to what I bought last night!

Damn... wish I had seen this last night. I've been looking for a good card reader for a few weeks. :frown: oh well.

 

[lucasa]

What I was saying before about wanting a front panel that did USB, firewire, audio, and media reading...

Found one

It's about 30 bucks from geeks.com. Slightly overkill, but it's got the kind of features that could easily come in handy down the line. Never heard of the company, though. Anybody else know of "Sunbeam"?

 

[phils725]

GEEKS has them on sale! Check out this thread... Text

 

[esquared]

Are you asking about Geeks and Sunbeam? Geeks is a good company. I've ordered 6-8 times from them without a problem. Sunbeam, I've never heard of. If you decide to get this there is a 10% off coupon for non-Geek specials like this. You can easily find it if you google it.

 

[tcsenter]

I've picked up a few of these from Geeks for $7.99 during their special sales, along with some other items to defray the shipping cost per item.

I agree although, the shipping is a bit harsh. $8.00 to where I am. Oh well, Still better deal than anyplace else for $13.95!

 

[DonCrescas]

As I said, it's now 5.95 + shipping for either the black or the beige.

All those who missed the woot can rejoice.

w00t! Pun Intended (Obviously):beer:

 

[AMDZen]

Finally a Woot I was pissed off that I missed, and lo and behold - I get it for $1.05 less through Geeks. First time I've paid more for shipping then for an item I've ordered though - $7.00 for me

Thanks for the links guys.
