    HOT! 19" LCD 129.99 w/ free shipping (100.00 MIR) - OD.com

    What is the difference between these 2 monitors? The specs seem the same except for minor dimentional differences. Is it just cosmetic? If so, has anyone seen them both together to know which "looks" better?

    AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

    I know this has been answered already, but I must have missed it. How do you tell if it is a Paris or a Palermo? Also, how do you tell if it is 64-bit or 32-bit?

    *DEAD*Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 $17.95+shipping (+maybe tax?)

    From the description: "Thermal Interface Material: Pre-applied MX-1 Paste" Does this mean that you don't need any extra thermal grease? Also, would this be compatible with the Sempron 3100+ 754 pin?

    AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

    This may be a dumb question, but is there a trick to wiring the Power Switch LED on this board? I attached the + and - as it shows in the manual but get no LED when I power up. Here is the thing... I am powering up without the processor. I just have the power connected to the motherboard and...

    White or Black ATX case $19.99 OTD at Compusa NO REBATES

    How is the quality of this PSU? Also, I am a bit confused as to how large a power supply you should have for a standard setup... say a P4, 2 hard drives, 2 or 3 DVD drives, video, etc. Would this be large enough (350 watts)?

    White or Black ATX case $19.99 OTD at Compusa NO REBATES

    Thanks for the post. I picked this case up last night and it will work perfectly for my next build. I have my CPU cubbyholed in a hutch, so all that shows is the front anyway. This is just the case I have been looking for. I would rather put money into other parts of the computer. Thanks again.

    Staples ad for 2/19/06 - 2/25/06... President's Day specials

    Is the price for the hard drive the same in-store, or is it higher with no coupon? I also need the $30.00 off coupon... I wonder why they don't have it listed on the site. Can someone PM me? Thanks!

    Staples.com Maxtor SATA 200GB 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive with PCI Card Bundle

    When you put the drive in your cart it rings up at $99.99, the price after the $60.00 instant savings, so these coupons would not work unless you add a small item. However, I doubt they would allow more than the one $30.00 off coupon that they give you for this purchase.

    Gameboy SP @ CompUsa $25 AR

    It seems that several things, including the Game Boy and camera require the purchase of a desktop first!

    CompUSA 2/20 6hr sale and FAR stuff

    If I'm reading it right, according to the fine print some of the free, $25, and $50 items require purchase of a desktop $699 and up. :disgust:

    Splinter Cell & other XBOX platinum hits - $5

    Sorry, and I may be out of line here, but I just don't believe these claims that Best Buy is telling people that they will be charged full price for the games they bought, or that they will be charging everyone full price, regardless of what their card was charged. I suppose there could be a...

    For those who missed on the BB XBox Splinter Cell deal - Counter Strike works also, except

    Also... The only e-mail I have gotten from BB since picking up the games was to thank me for picking up my order. :)

    For those who missed on the BB XBox Splinter Cell deal - Counter Strike works also, except

    I picked up my games today, including PoP, SC, and 7 misc. Platinum Hits (2 of which they couldn't find in the store) with no problems. The guy helping me said that several other people had been in today for the same "deal", so they were running short on the Platinum Hits titles. He said he...
