    Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router - WRT54G $29.99 w/ GCO

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrt54g - contains table with S/N prefixes to determine hardware revision. At this price, you may as well pick up a Buffalo router instead from Circuit City - currently $24 after rebate. The Buffalo units run open source firmwares without any fuss.

    NOD32 Anti-Virus OEM - $24.99 @ Newegg

    My local OfficeMax/Office Depots are terrible at matching competitor's prices. Hell, they don't even accept their own coupons. I picked up a copy of KIS for free after rebates from Staples two weeks ago to test out (as my license for NOD32 will expire soon). It seemed a lot more bloated and...

    BFG GeForce 7950GT OC 256MB $149 AR

    The 7950GT KO from eVGA runs at 550MHz while this one (the BFG) runs at 565. Pairing both in SLI would supposedly force the BFG's clocks down to 550MHz. Shouldn't see any problems running in SLI (feel free to correct this statement). I asked the same question earlier. After thinking about it...

    BFG GeForce 7950GT OC 256MB $149 AR

    Is it worth it to pick one of these up and pair it up with an existing 7950GT, or would it be better to save up and pick up a better card in the future? This is a really tempting deal...but I'd have to spend an extra $25 on a northbridge cooler (current one blocks cards from being inserted...

    The Ultimate Matrix Collection (HD DVD) The Ultimate Matrix Collection I'll have to pass on this deal. Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions just weren't good movies.

    CompUsa deals...

    The same PDF was linked over at FW. Really hot deal: Antec 500W Earthwatt, $39.99 after IS and AR. I could really use one to replace a crappy SmartPower 2.0. Amusing: a $449.99 Aspire Notebook with 512GB RAM.

    Office Depot has Acer 22" Widescreen LCD monitor for $199 AR

    Picked one up on Monday. Is anyone else getting <b>massive</b> backlight bleed, or did I just get a dud?

    Office Depot has Acer 22" Widescreen LCD monitor for $199 AR

    How good is this for gaming? Right now I'm gaming with a 1901FP and I'm content with it, but if this is better, I'll pick one up tomorrow. Any known issues to watch out for? Guild Wars in widescreen sounds really tempting to me. edit: AT review at...

    500GB Seagate 7200.10 $124.99 shipped

    First-hand experience: I ordered one early Wednesday morning, received it on Wednesday morning even with standard two-day shipping. The UPS guy ****** tossed the package on my front doorstep and took off (I was watching this through a nearby window). This isn't exactly a good neighborhood to...

    500GB Seagate 7200.10 $124.99 shipped

    Well, I was more curious about the "reliability" aspect of the 7200.10 drives compared to, say, the 7200.9 line of drives. I've read and heard horror stories (although that's to be expected with any product, especially drives) and was considering waiting for the next iteration of drives...

    500GB Seagate 7200.10 $124.99 shipped

    Comparison to the WD WD5000AAKS for about the same price? I'm still a bit wary about the new 7200.10 drives (and large-capacity drives in general).

    Is this HOT???

    What a shame. I had one of these (paid ~$80 years ago) and ended up returning it because SetPoint was terrible (great in Linux after mucking around with xorg.conf, no drivers required). Hardware was nice, though.

    Is this HOT???

    Local OM doesn't have any. Did Logitech ever manage to make the SetPoint drivers suck less/be less bloated?

    X1950GT $109.99 AR + ship/ X1950XT now $179.99AR + ship

    Any reason to upgrade to this from a 7950GT? I bought a 7900GT a year ago and EVGA sent me one of these instead for a RMA. If it's better (even slightly), I'd like to pick one up and putting this older card into another rig...
