Easter egg; it's a tradition that goes back a very long time. :)

I support this type of chaotic singularity.

Man, this thread is a trip. I still have my Palm III I got for zero dollars with Value America's $100 off of $100 coupon. Still waiting for my 19" Hitachi. Any day now.

BTRY B 529th FA BN: That might be true, but 8GB CAS5 mem for $80 is quite nice. Many motherboards will not run 4x2GB with CAS4 anyway, and there is not much difference between the two settings for most people. It was a decent deal before at $59, then at $55, but at $39 and no rebates it's hard...

The PC2-8000 version mysteriously got jacked up $5 in price and then sold out. Convenient.

I don't know about other vendors, but I disassembled a WD Mybook 500GB after the power supply bit the bullet, the drive had a different model, serial and label and no apparent warranty for the bare drive itself, only as part of the Mybook enclosure. My guess is, take it out and you're on your...

I wonder how easy this would be to shoehorn into an EeePC?

All none people, since it hasn't launched yet. :P Looks like it's a few vendors, not the reference designs. Pasted from Bit-Tech.com: "Some GeForce 8800 GTX boards that were built through our contract manufacturer had a simple BOM error - wrong resistor value. GeForce 8800 GTS boards are...

XFX 7600GT 256MB AGP card is also at Newegg now for $179. Linky here

Samsung makes a very nice - and quiet - drive. They may not be as fast as some 7200RPM drives, but I've found them to be quite reliable and when you pair that with the low power/noise/heat, it makes a great candidate for a SFF, MediaPC or quiet workstation. These days, it's hard to go wrong with...

Um, yeah, if anyone can tell me how to choose Alaska for a shipping destination on the Microcenter website, let me know... because it sure doesn't look like we exist as far as they're concerned. Crazy.
