    26 inch HDTV (LCD) $799 @ JandR.com or J&R (NYC) B&M

    LC2600N. This is a great tv and has almost every connection available. I actually purchased it when it was $849 but I got the price adjustment after the price went down again. (BTW-JandR.com also fulfills purchases through Amazon so you may be able to get free shipping if you buy through...

    Looking to buy a Dell 700m

    I just purchased the 700m based on the $750 off $1499 deal they had going last week. I can't wait. A buddy of mine has had his for about 6 months and its great. The screen is so wonderful and the size is awesome. The regular battery lasts about 2 hours (which isn't terrible) so if you're...

    Good Place to repair laptop?

    Found a place on the net called "laptoprepair.com but they do business as A K Laptop in California. BBB says no major complaints filed in a couple of years and they seem legit, but I'm wondering if any AT's have had experience. Any other legit place? Thanks.

    Canon Digital Rebel XT - Black Body - $764.15 (or $729.15) Shipped @ Dell Home

    The 15% off is over, but on FW they have the two codes that stack (10% and $90). I think its a great deal. I even paid $20 for overnight shipping ($829 total- I got the lens kit). This camera is hard to find in stock from any retailer I trust. Also, been having a hard time finding black in...

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    Well, I got these and they worked for about a minute. Then the left channel stopped outputing a signal. Sounded great for the first two minutes. Shipped in the same box (not happy about that) and clearly was repackaged. I thought why not take a chance but I'm out $35 in shipping. Oh well.

    KLIPSCH ProMedia 2.1 PC Multimedia Speakers $49.99

    Just got in on this deal. Even if this is open box, if it works and is in good condition, then this is a steal!! I will let you guys know how this works out. BTW- shipping was expensive. $18 going to New York. But Still worth the cost to me.

    AN7 RAID BIOS HELP.

    Had single IDE drive. Wanted to create RAID mirror so I purchased two identical 160gig HDs (both SATA). I installed the first, formatted it and copied the entire master to the new drive using Ghost. Next, I removed the old drive and booted off the new drive. Worked great. I then installed...

    COSTCO Members only: Panasonic GS70 $549+ship & tax

    You know you're right, but you obviously knew what it was and when someone says "Sapphire Radeon Pro" or something similar, I don't say "you should say video card" in your post. Most are looking for specific product deals and know exactly what they're looking for when they search on here but...

    COSTCO Members only: Panasonic GS70 $549+ship & tax

    Can order on costco.com only but the camcorder is $649 - $100 instantly plus shipping and tax (for NY it was about $610). I think that's a great deal from a good retailer (they have a generous return policy) and the camera is a three chip camcorder with lots of extras. Its not "flaming hot"...

    Samsung 173T or Dell 1703FP (17" LCD monitor)

    Not sure which one to get. Both are on sale on Dell right now (Samsung $505 and Dell is $529). Any thoughts? I was also thinking of maybe going up to the Dell 1801FP for $579 but if I did that, I might as well and spend $32 bucks more for the 1901FP ($611). Man, what to do? Unlike others I know...
