    Refurb RCA DVD Player with Dolby Digital and DTS outputs ($299.99 retail - sale for $99.99)

    In checking the DVD Player Compatability List, we see that this RCA product does not reliably play any of the alternative media or formats. Buying this one would be a mistake unless you JUST want plain-Jane factory DVD playing.

    Not bad! Barracuda IV 40gb 7200 - 77 bucks...

    I have used an older 7200 rpm SCSI version of the Barracuda, and did not have any problem with one drive... but when I added a second drive (in a standard case bracket, about 1/8" spacing), both drives got too hot to touch. Luckily I discovered the situation before they fried and failed. I...

    I have bought a ton of small hardware and cable stuff (including Cat5 in various lengths) from Cyberguys and have always been pleased with both products and service. Shipping is reasonable, I think.

    What a bummer! When I looked at it last night, it was $89. Now, when I am ready to order today, it is $119. $30 jump overnight! I called to see if I could convince them to honor yesterday's price, but they would not. And don't have them in stock anyway.
