I was looking at these (the ratshack environizer) this past holiday season. I didn't get one because I couldn't find any user reviews on the net...and I still can't. I would love to see what you think about them if you get one. I would think that not only would it be cheaper than the ionic...

Ok, so here's the big question. Is the video card that's on sale actually an ultra? If so, it's a good price. The picture on the ad is NOT an ultra. Do you think that the in-store personnel will relent if I press them on this issue? Ok, so here's the bigger question. Can I pricematch...

In addition, the 9600 looks like it overclocks to the moon! (thx to the .13 process and having 1/2 the transistors of the 9500)

I am totally with you, Bmott. My entire audio system is pretty much made up of used equipment. Denon 2803, B&W CDM7-NT's, Legacy Audio 10" sub (which totally pwns). Center channel and rears, I bought new. So, my advice is visit and revisit the high end stores until somebody returns some nice...

Um, I'm not trying to thread crap or anything, but you could get yourself into some low end NHT's or B&W speakers for this price range.

Hmmm, the card is now showing as a not hot $241.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I bought the HAC-V81 because I felt it had the best price/cooling/noise ratio. Thanks for reminding me why I didn't get the ThermalTake, Rebel del Rio.

I just got a 2100+ with a hav-v81. It's a good hs/f but has a couple of issues. First off, it's too frickin' big. I had to bend back the metal latch thingy and remove the power supply from my case to get the thing to fit in my pc. Secondly, if you're gonna go crazy with the overclock, it...

Aw yeah..., thx for the info SKORPI0.

Dang, this is a ripping deal. Too bad I just got a A7N8X, otherwise I'd jump all over this.

Well, I got mine today and have installed the sucker. The bad news is that it came bare (mb only). The only thing that sucks about that is that I didn't get the bracket...D: But right now, it's running great. I'm going to burn in the processor for a few days and then start hammering the mb...

Alb, NM update. They ran out of routers and cd wallets and battery backups pretty quick. Luckily, I went by earlier today and got 2 of the wallets. A buddy of mine came by the CompUSA after I called him and they added more routers to the shelves (why they didn't do it immediately, I don't...

According to newegg, refurbed items have been tested by the original manufacturer and NOT newegg. I do believe that a lot of these boards are being returned for a lot of issues, i.e. dead cmos batteries. Believe me, as soon as I get a refurbed item I test the heck out of it and make it run for...

back in stock

These will probably be gone by the time anyone reads this...but I think it's a pretty good deal. Of course, they may end up with a lot of these as it seems these boards are shipping with a lot of flaws. linky
