    Nintendo Gamecube $25 rebate system, up to $25 rebate games/wavebird purchases between 12/8 and 12/14 UPDATE: CC deal

    Lemme see if I got all this correct: The MSN Reward Points are only valid for a select few online stores, and the only ones who sell the GC are EBgames, CircuitCity, and KMart. So, from those three, it would be best to go with EBgames since they won't charge you sales tax (only charged in 2...

    If u place an online order for instore pickup, and pick it up friday, does that qualify as a purchase made on friday, and therefore allow you to mail in the rebate? i'm assuming the rebate will only work on purchases made starting friday...

    Unbelievable DEAL !!!! BFG Tech GeForce Ti 4200 128mb for $89 !!!!

    Just snagged one at local BB (Houston, Highway 6 and Westheimer). There were about 4 of these sitting on the shelf. So the plan is, I go in on Friday, ask them to pricematch with their current deal (199.99 - 50.00 instant rebate - 80.00 mir) and walk out feeling superior? I hope this works...

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    Guess what? Prometheus' distributors cannot get him the boards until the 16th and Shentech did indeed run out. I guess you and I are back in the same boat, Oakenfold. Let's go over to the west coast and see if we can't settle this strike by Monday...

    GA-8SG667 Newbie USB 2.0 Question...

    Thanks for the info, but I'm still a little unclear. There are two USB ports in the rear that are part of the I/O panel, correct? Are you saying I can only have, at one time, 2 maximum USB ports that are 2.0 and the other 4 have to be 1.1? So, in theory, there is some cable that I would connect...

    GA-8SG667 Newbie USB 2.0 Question...

    Thanks for reading... I was looking over the manual for the 8SG667 and noticed the following line which I didn't entirely understand: 6 USB 2.0/1.1 ports (2 x Rear, 4 xFront by cable) Anandtech's review lists 2 USB 2.0 ports in the rear. How can I enable the "4 Front USB 2.0" ports with this...

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    Good lord! A lot of you guys must have purchased this board from Shentech as they have upped their price twice in the last few hours. It started off late last night initially at 103, I believe. Then late morning it was 109. Now it stands at 115. I have been holding out since I am mainly relying...

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    Oakenfold, were you able to get order confirmation and verify that it was shipped the same day? Their website still lists the item as "available, usually ships same day" but one can never be too sure.

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    According to Pricewatch, Shentech.com is now selling this board here Resellerratings look fair. Anybody here have personal shopping experience with them?

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    But wouldn't most of these troubles arise if one were seriously overclocking? If I were to purchase this board with no intent to overclock (at least not in the foreseeable future) and just use it for its key features such as USB 2.0, 8X AGP, DDR400, SiS 648, etc...then would there still be...

    I tried Essential Computer Inc. here but couldn't find that board to save my life. Am I missing something?

    Gigabyte 8SG667 good buy or wait?

    Anybody notice how 11cb.com consistently jacks up the price on this board? About a week and a half ago it had fallen to 99.00 I believe. Then for a while it stayed at 106.00. Now, this morning they increased it to 108.00. Perhaps they just got some more in stock and decided to make more of a...

    Hot: 19" monitor $130 at staples

    Staple's Rebate Forms says "not valid with any other offer or promotions." Does this mean they won't honor the rebate since they would know you guys used a 30 off 150 coupon (I'm assuming this shows up on a receipt you have to mail to them)?
