    XFX Geforce 6600 GT (PCIe) - $164.99 + shipping

    The fact the rebate is not by Tiger Direct is encouraging. However it is some Canadian place that just takes forever to process. I have an XFX rebate for $25 (6600GT AGP), which took 2 months to be displayed on their site. Don't know how long it will take to get the check.

    ..:: Molten Hot ::.. Maxtor 300GB Internal Hard Drive + Lexington Tote + Mini Fridge - $149.99 shipped <No Rebates>

    I am unsuccessfully looking for a dollar off coupon that works on technology items. So far wasn't able to find any. Anyone with better luck than me? I don't care about the free mini fridge or the tote or the brief case.

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    Want to share unexpected pleasant surprise with rebates. Probably the best I've ever seen in my life (and I do have a lot of rebates, about $575 pending right now). In the past I've never dealt with Symantec for rebates. On this BF I got NAV and the BB bundle. I submitted 6 rebates totally...

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    Gibson486 I don't have any staples easy rebates from BF, but I know for sure they are waiting for the return period to expire to prevent getting rebates on returned items. The current return policy as on the Staples web site says: ============================================ During the...

    *HOT*HOT*Dell switches starting at $25 for 16 10/100 port after MIR!

    Where is the rebate form? I ordered a switch, got the confirmation email, but I cannot find the rebate neither from the switch page, nor on the rebate page on the web site? Should I cancel my order?

    Belkin.com

    Doh! Until I placed my order the code doesn't work anymore. I am sure it was working initially, however now adding it does nothing. Damn!

    NWN Platinum $30 at CC B&M

    Awesome game, the expansions are definitely good (especially Hotu) and the price is really good. I bought nwn gold and hotu for about $50 some time ago; right now I am close to the end of Hotu, lvl26 fighter/lvl3 rogue.

    If u don't have 'em yet. Doom 3 = $37.99, Far Cry = $19.99

    This is valid in WA too. There were quite a lot Doom3 boxes, but Far Cry was OOS. However I was able to price match at Best Buy.

    Fry's deals for week of 9/3 - DFW

    I went in my local Frys today (WA), hoping for some great deals. Most of the things were "completely sold out, but we have other *slightly* more expensive models"... Still I was able to score: - Antec case SX835II with 350Watt PSU for $39 after $30 rebate...

    Antec Neopower 480W Modular Power Supply

    Modular PSUs look such cool idea! I totally love it. How many unused floating cables everyone has in his case? Unfortunately every retailer thinks this would be the next thing to cash on. For comparison I bought my non modular 550Watt Antec for $95 some time ago from newegg: 17-103-910 POWER...

    Hot! MS Intellimouse Explorer wireless $19.99 after $10 MIR at Office Depot

    I saw the ad this Friday night in the Saturday newspaper. I already have 1 mouse like it (on my wife's pc) and I wanted to get 1 more for myself. The price is good; as a matter of fact it is actually lower than the discounted price for employees. Today I went and picked 1 from my local...

    Free Increased Upload for Verizon DSL

    :| I just called and the rep told me I am at the max speed for the area 768/128. I don't know whether this is true, or I was unlucky to hit dumb rep. Anyone from WA being able to upgrade?
