    ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB PCIE $179

    Ecost has the ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB for $173.00. Free shipping and a $5.95 handling fee bring the total to $178.95 ($39.04 less than Newegg). This'll be perfect for the Intel RetailEdge promotion.

    New Barebones Kit - DOA?

    Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, clearing the CMOS and making sure the CPU fan is plugged in to the right spot were some of the first things that I did to troubleshoot. Or so I thought. It turns out that resetting the CMOS is accomplished differently that the manual says. Instead...

    New Barebones Kit - DOA?

    I just got my AOpen EY65 XC Cube, plugged in an Intel P4 2.8C (800MHz FSB, Northwood core, 512KB L2), 2 sticks of 512MB DDR400 memory, and a monitor. When I attempt to turn on the power (correctly switched to the local 110V system), the blue LED on front and a small red LED inside (not the red...

    Warm: Motorola SB5100 Cable modem Free AR + $50 gc from CC + free self install kit *Activation required*

    FYI... RadioShack has this same deal ($80 modem, free self-install kit, $80MIR, $50GC for RadioShack) on the RCA DCM315R cable modem with new activation. Put it on a new RS Mastercard and you can save an additional $35 ($20IR and $15GC by mail).

    SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

    PM me your phone number and billing zipcode and I can check for you in the morning or you can call up your local RadioShack and have them do it. We use a website to check for eligibility but I've never paid attention as to whether or not it is an internal site. I'll find out in the morning...

    SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

    This actually depends on the market. In the greater Seattle area, it is a $230 phone with a $180 instant rebate for new customers or existing customers adding an additional line of service or with a $180 MIR for existing customers who have had their existing phone for 18 months. Depending on...

    SMOKING HOT Sanyo 5300 camera phone $50

    You should probably call ahead to make sure your local RadioShack has these in stock but I know the $50 deal (instant or $230 - 180MIR) is good at all of the stores in the greater Seattle area. If you're interested, PM me and I'll set you up. I know my store has a TON of these.

    1.3 MP camera, $11 (requires a little work)

    My local RadioShack had it for $6.97 (item number 25-983). It's a discontinued item so it will be hard to find but 70% of the RadioShacks in my district had at least one of them as of last week.

    1.3 MP camera, $11 (requires a little work)

    I just picked up the last camera at Kits Camera (Seattle/Northgate) and the last of the palm sync cables at RadioShack (Seattle/UVillage; number 25-983). Total Cost: $18.78. The pictures really aren't that bad. I would say they're on-par with any other disposable camera. Certainly cheaper...

    You can also find this dvd player at RadioShack for the same price (and rumor has it that they will be selling for $40 plus $10 MIR on Black Friday). Edit: Link

    Microsoft Photo TV viewer for $9.77 retail$160!

    Let me look... RS Number 160-3654. And it is only available in stores (and only if the managers haven't already gotten rid of all of them). Good luck!

    Microsoft Photo TV viewer for $9.77 retail$160!

    They could use a bootable USB HD (like the Lexar JumpDrive Pro I recently got for $30).

    PV-256T PCI TV Tuner/MPEG-2 hardware encoder

    Another option for those looking for a hardware MPEG2 encoder with tv-tuner is the AverMedia M179. It's currently for sale for $56 shipped on Ebay. There are 500 available at this price, with only ~50 bid on with 17 hours to go (though I'm sure the remaining cards will be put back up under...

    Microsoft Photo TV viewer for $9.77 retail$160!

    If you're looking for one of these things that takes CF/SmartMedia, Radioshack recently devalued the TV Picshare (not the plus) to $0 and told the managers to get rid of them. If you can find some, the manager might just let you take them. They can junction as a picture viewer for any tv with...

    I'm sure you've all seen the thread but the 120GB Seagate for $59.99 is still valid: Other Thread
