    Ethernet 10/100 PCI network card - 99cents (Fry's BM)

    The man doesn't lie! But the OP can be a bit more detailed though... To get the $0.99 deal you need to go buy it at Fry's B&M store. Limit is 2 per customer (just go back in and buy more). Not many people buy it and they should have plenty, and this is with them HIDING stuff before "limited...

    [dead]uber HAWT Plextor 16x dvd RW PX-740A $40 AR ($15 AR or $40 NO MIR!! possible!!) @ BB & 20 FREE dual layer DVDs!

    The store I used to work at, in Costa Mesa, CA, is totally cleared out. They did a SKU check for me, and found out that nearby Westminster, CA has about 40 left from a stock of 350+. My friend and I found plenty of the drives at the Westminster store, and grabbed two that had the TDK 20pk...

    Warm: Sonata II for $79.99 AR @ Newegg *Updated x 2*

    Well, it's basically the same chassis as the original Sonata (and that was built off the 3000 series cases). Some major points of the "II" case are: no more stamped "Antec" perforations at the top of the side panels, these tend to suck in dust in an otherwise low-dust system (due to the front...

    Opteron 146 Socket 939 $160+shipping (OOS ATM, but can Pre Order) at TankGuys

    Tankguys, I'm mostly disappointed at the big online retailers. I understand everyone has to make a profit to stay in the business. We should always support the little guys instead of bigger guys. Forgive me though, I'm always a bit leery of retailers, so I'm likely liable to squeeze them for...

    Warm: Sonata II for $79.99 AR @ Newegg *Updated x 2*

    NT OP, but it's not that hot anymore that the shipping's $18.99 again. I really hate it when Newegg has its "blowouts" and "sales," only to subtlely raise shipping prices. They do that all the time.. has anyone else noticed that? I was going to buy this case for a new home file server when...

    Opteron 146 Socket 939 $160+shipping (OOS ATM, but can Pre Order) at TankGuys

    Whoops, I guess no sleep for a few days gets to yah. I had meant to enter in $125 but was probably thinking of another product I'm working on right now. Tankguys is a smaller outfit than Newegg, Monarch, MWave, and ZipZoomFly so obviously they're paying a bit more. But not a whole lot more...

    Opteron 146 Socket 939 $160+shipping (OOS ATM, but can Pre Order) at TankGuys

    Eh, AMD's MSRP was still $113. These online retailers are price gouging us; don't let them think they're our gods and saviors. A small rip-off is still a rip-off.. doesn't approach Newegg, ZipZoomFly, and MonarchPC's huge markups though... I guess it's better than nothing? :\...

    HOT! (YMMV) 15Mb/s down 2 up internet $50/mo

    Well, 6 weeks ain't 'nuffin! I waited since August 2004, as it was supposed to be completed then. They had all the fiber laid out there and then, just had squabbles with the city council that delayed stuff :|

    New Dell Home E&A Coupons - Extended through 6/16

    *&^%$*&$^%*&$^%*$ I've been eyeing the Canon SD400/500 on Dell deals lately. Just got a Canon SD300 for my girlfriend the other week... I'd much rather have a Canon S70 though, as it is a bit more robust in options (heh, I think I may be demanding *too* much from a point-and-shoot) than the...

    Abit AN7 at Fry's $79.99

    Heh, they finally stocked it eh? I don't think they would ever do that. I haven't seen say a Abit NF2-S or AN7, DFI NF2 Infinity on the shelves for a good 2 years even though the display is still there. They almost never have the high end boards there, just the low quality KT266PRO and...

    Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

    It's probably the regular version, which is like $300 new nowadays. For anyone who is trying to resell it on eBay, I just checked and it's not worth it. Supposedly, the price you may sell it at: Opteron 246 x2 == ~$600 Tyan Mobo == ~$400 Win2k3 Server 64-bit == ~$300 Athlon64 3200+...
