    HOT: Yamaha complete home theater DTS 5.1 audio system -- $249.99 from yamahashoponline.com w/ free ship

    i think yamaha certainly rates them more conservatively than most. you can walk into radio shack and find speakers rated at 100 watts for 10 bux a pair (little table top speakers), doesnt mean they can actually handle it without distortion. the cone size in the rears is 5", which is about the...

    ULTRA HOT DEAL on Epson INK!!! (for laughs look)

    I wonder if they did this to see how fast we find the error. Unlike low prices, nobody's ordering this so they dont lose money. They can just scope out anandtech to see exactly how many days it takes.

    Dell X3i Axim Price Mistake $199?

    Dell expects you to follow their every rule and policy to the letter and they never cut you slack. One time my credit card was double charged by Dell and I had to fight them for my money -- this took hours out of my life and all I got was the cash back. I've heard stories -- they'll send you...

    Dell X3i Axim Price Mistake $199?

    This is no website goof, this is a major error on their part. There is law and court ruling in our favor as consumers since this is a PRINTED advertisement. If there was some major media attention on this issue, I think they would certainly honor the price. Dell thinks it can blow this off...

    According to this this site: "The FM signal quality is significantly lower than the quality allowed by modern computer compression technologies" While: "If you are tired of hearing how MP3 files are 'CD Quality,' you can test your ears to see if you can tell that MP3 is LESS THAN TAPE...

    Hot Phone Deals this Fall, Keep your Cellphone Numbers!

    This has to be the greatest thing the fcc has done in a long time. Actually something I never thought would happen since it allows big companies like verizon (which I am a current member of) to hold on to customers even when companies like T-mobile have rediculous deals. The only reason I...

    BLAZING! NEW OEM HITACHI / IBM 80GB 7200RPM Hard Drive. $74 Shipped (NO Coupons or Rebates!)

    2 years ago I had the highest respect for IBM harddrives. Then I purchased 4 IBM Deskstar 7200rpm 40GB hds for an IDE raid array. 3 OUT OF 4 FAILED within 3 months!! IBM was nice enough to replace them (with REFURBS), but I'll never see that data again...I sold every drive after I got those...

    HOT!: Epson CX5200 all in one Printer for $50 AC AR TODAY ONLY!!!

    The $30 gift check rebate offer states: "Offer not valid with any other rebates, offers or promotions." I believe the $30 off $150 is a offer/promotion. I dont think this will fly.
