    Car stereo deals after PM, ex kenwood 619

    Has anyone tried to pricematch with goodguys? It says on their site I wonder if savingslot or any of the other cheaper places online are "manufacturer-autorized"...

    Great place to find school textbooks.....

    I go to Iowa State University. There are two bookstores, one owned by the university and a private one. The system used at the one owned by the university does not give the isbn but the private one does. Oh wait it isnt an ISBN its a "book code" which is the same. I don't other students know...

    THIS IS HOT HOT HOT! So those of you that purchased these did it come with an video cable (component), an s-video cable, and an adapter? Mine only came with the two cables no adapter. Any suggestions? Thanx

    Does anyone know if those will work for a dual monitor setup? I am currently running a geforce 3 ti 200 and would add this to the pci slot. Great find!

    Let me know what think

    I am glad you cleared that up. I was oblivious to the fact that such statements had been made previously as I don't have the time to read all posts and/or threads. I would like to know why Mr Grim thinks it sucks though. Feel free to comment Mr Grimm or are you just trying to increase post...

    Let me know what think

    I really have to question why that is thread crapping. The title of the thread is "Let me know what you think". So are we only suppose to offer opinions that are "nice". Sometimes the role of devil's advocate is very helpful and useful. Sorry if I am thread crapping ;)

    Apex 20" Flat Screen TV for $85 from Wal-Mart

    I live just outside of Des Moines and was wondering which location you went to. I will only go to the Windor Heights one and only between 3 and 4 am. Thats when I bought my tv. Probably good that happened to you and not me cause the old-fat-wanna-be-rent-a-cop security guards would have probably...
