    DEAL2DIE4 - Akai 27" (Samsung Clone) SuperFlat TV with Widescreen Squeeze Mode $379.00 !! (no rebates needed)

    well, it's gotten way OT now but I can't resist... The bad news is twofold: 1. you probably can't get the name plate off without making it look crap. 2. now I (and I suspect many others too) am laughing at you for worrying about what your friends think in this regard. The good news is folded...

    Edit **Wrong Tag** but some got it. **$150** for ATI All In Wonder RADEON 7500 64MB version, needn't mail in rebate!

    too bad TV output is 1024x768. that is the deal breaker for me or I would have been in my car in 10 minutes to go check for this. I'm no expert buy I think that this output resolution for the TV means you will not be able to see entire screen at once on TV. It will scroll most likely to see...

    DEAL2DIE4 - Akai 27" (Samsung Clone) SuperFlat TV with Widescreen Squeeze Mode $379.00 !! (no rebates needed)

    use the "custom" picture mode then within that is a "cold" or "warm" setting .... as well as many others... this is from memory. I agree with others that the factory defaults push the reds too, too much. So do many other models I noticed while shopping. They must feel it gives better notice...

    I bet in your mind, in context, that was a perfectly reasonable question.

    I bought this tv a few weeks ago. I too confirm it is the exact same as the Samsung mentioned above. Also confirming only one S-Video input. Get the pdf of the Samsung manual here It is a very nice TV. There is a short thread on the board about the wallet which is of larger than normal...

    New iMac is available - starts at $1299

    It really is innovative design. Needs more modularity. I LMAO when the first imac came out. Everyone was like "what a bold new vision incorporating everything in one package".... yeah, that was the bold new vision that we did away with in the 80s to move toward modularity and something less...

    I ordered the 50x cd and the modem from the web. Last I checked, this morning, both still listed as "inv" or whatever it is. I was kind of expecting a cancellation.... or a long wait ala the iomega drive I got from compusa over the holidays, then the fedex truck pulled up with the...

    SMC Barricade $87 PM -$20coupon - $20MIR (Shipped) ***Deal Dead, raised prices (and out of stock)***

    I was a little worried as I followed my order as it hadn't actually shipped.. just in process. I was kind of expecting a cancellation maybe. The site is also a bit of a pain. You have to make sure you're in the product section to sign into your account. Today though I got e-mail which stated...

    Thanks for the deal SF guy! I went ahead and just did the allbusiness deal too. Not too much difference with tax and less hassle. I also picked up a netgear fa310tx nic for $18 and change. Seemed a good price with free shipping from what I saw on pricewatch. I only forgot the cable :-(...
