    Windows 7 pre-order pricing (Full versions: Premium £/?49.99, Pro £/?99.99)

    Technet does have WHS (Windows Home Server) now. They added it a few months ago. My Technet subscription expired last month... debating now whether to pick up win7 for $49 or hope Technet goes on sale again for $99 (It's currently on sale for $250).

    [DEAD]Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EACS 1TB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

    Some batches of this model (wd10eacs) are not compatible with Tivo Series 3. They seem to work fine with Tivo HD though. For Tivo S3's, look for wd10evcs.

    Refurbed computer(add hd) for $64.99 at Geeks

    Don't forget to look into the total power draw if you plan on using an old(er) pc as an always-on device. It might be worth it in the long run to spend a bit more on a cheap laptop instead that draws less power. An extra 50W will cost you $65 per year in electricity costs in California ($144 /...

    Dead - Brother HL-4040CN Color Laser Printer - Price went back up!

    Been almost 4 weeks and still nothing is showing up for the paypal bonus. And it looks like MS Live Cashback is a no-go either. From MS Live cashback FAQ: Q: Can I use an alternative payment method (i.e. PayPal, Google Checkout, etc.) when I purchase from the Store and still get my cashback...

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    I get this too with my westinghouse 22in LCD when I play bioshock. Oddly enough, it plays fine if I reboot my computer and immediately start bioshock. i.e. bioshock is the first app I start in windows.

    Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control $59.99

    Hmm... I thought it was just my 676 that had problems with buttons not working... After about a year of regular use (household with no children or pets), the "off" button has become VERY unresponsive; We have to press it about 4-6 times for it to register. Having said that, I would still rather...

    $50AR!! 2GB DDR2 PC6400 MAD42GUOE-X2

    Someone suggested I try manually changing the timings, but at this point, I don't want to bother anymore. I think I just got a bad stick (or two).

    $50AR!! 2GB DDR2 PC6400 MAD42GUOE-X2

    Just received mine. Removed my old ram, popped these in, set everything to default in the BIOS, and started running memtest. Failed within the first 5 minutes. So much for getting a good deal...
