    Now 75% off Board Games at Barnes And Noble

    The 75% off sale is in all my local BN's, but the chances of finding what you want in stock is the problem. I got the only copy of A Game of Thrones at the Oakview store in Omaha. There were plenty of poker chip sets and Risk: Star Wars edition left, some trivia games, puzzles, etc. The stores...

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

    Wow, Zap! Your advice is very helpful! Exactly what I was hoping to hear. Yes, I have a decent 19" CRT. I'd like to get a decent LCD some day, but carving $200 out of my ~$600 budget probably isn't worth it right now. I'll need to get a new power supply, because my current one is several years...

    ECS NFORCE3-A motherboard mini review

    I'm wanting to build a new computer for $550-$650. Is this mobo with the 2800+ or 3100+ (from Outpost.com) a good candidate for that? I've got a case and a DVD-Burner at home, but that's it. Everything else I'll be buying - HD, Video card, memory, etc. Does it make sense to get this mobo when I...
