Presumably this is due to the new law New York passed a few months ago. If you google "Amazon Sales Tax" you can read a lot about it.

Good point. But for setting up a low power always on PC/server, I was considering putting in an atx case. The large size takes away much of the allure, but I already have old atx cases around.

Integrated cpu. Interesting. What cases would you use for mini-ITX motherboards? Anything unusual about the mini-ITX standard?

Maybe not, I just got the auto renewal notification by mail, it said my auto renewal was at $24 per 12 issues, not $12 per 12 issues.

Same here. Also had a similar pack with Polarium, and a Gameboy pack with versions of board games.

My local CC reduced these to $5.46 today: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...m/ccd/productDetail.do I expect YMMV, but even the web price is still a decent deal.

As an alternative, you might consider these from Supermediastore (can't link here) TDK In-Ear Bud Headphones with Silicon Tips (IE100) Normally 7.50 a set, free shipping, though there is 10% off coupon on the site today, lowering the price to 6.75..

Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 w/GPS $49.99 UPDATE The bad news: Amazon says: Usually ships within 1 to 2 months

Yes, that was certainly the intent. Acronis True Image does what Ghost does only better, makes a complete image copy of a drive. I imaged the Raptor to the 750Gb drive, then imaged the 750gb drive back to the Raptor, just to be sure. The total data size on the two drives didn't match...

I can share my very non- professional read performance data points. I recently ran some times comparing the Raptor X and the WD 750GB Caviar SE 16 (uses PMR tech) for a review posted on Epinions. MB was an Abit IP35 Pro, running win vista ultimate. Last year, when BB had the Raptor X...
