    New Discovery line Roomba Red robotic vacuum for $101 delivered.

    A few comments: First, thanks to the OP for posting this. I'd considered it for a while, finally bit after seeing this thread. We've had it for a few weeks now, and it is awesome. We have a large yellow dog (retriever mix), and our wood floors used to feel like they had an invisible (and...

    **** HOT **** Free Nokia 6820 Current and New AT&T Customers! ***

    Thanks to the OP! I'd been putting off talking to ATT about some kind of contract renewal incentive and/or shopping other carriers, but this deal fit the bill perfectly. Two 6820 replacements for our T616s arrived today. I was seriously considering keeping the T616s and ebaying these, but the...

I don't think GameVE is out to rip anybody off, but their idea of customer service is certainly not...

    Leadtek 6800GT, $394.75 shipped, in stock

    Well, the card arrived today, as promised. Of course, the card is defective right out of the box (massive video corruption from boot screen on, even tried an alternative power supply, no difference). The lack of shrink wrap or any sealing sticker on the box or stat bag also makes me suspect...

    Leadtek 6800GT, $394.75 shipped, in stock

    Leadtek 6800GT, $394.75 shipped, in stock

    Gameve.com Hard for me to believe that $400 could ever be a fair price for a vid card, or that a few dollars below MSRP could ever qualify as a "hot deal" for any computer hardware! Nonetheless, I was having a bear of a time finding one of these from a known vendor, so now that I have I...
