    Coupon DEAD!! Dell Home LCD deals w/ 15% off and $40 coupon code

    The Planar 19 inch lcd does not indicate if it comes with a dvi cable. It has a dvi input but no cable to hook it to your pc? How much extra is that going to cost? Very tempted to get this monitor, but that extra cost might make this less than hot.

    Hot? Duron 950MHz Boxed CPU w/ECS Motherboard for $99

    Got it in last night, it is up and running rock solid!! Installation was smooth, coupled it with gts-v card from newegg and it rolls. Upgraded from athlon classic 500 and voodoo 3 200, so needless to say, the difference is very noticable. Great find in my book!

    Hot? Duron 950MHz Boxed CPU w/ECS Motherboard for $99

    How does anyone know that tommorrow (Thursday) is the last day for this deal? I think i am gonna jump on this deal tonight. The price is just too good to resist. It allows to save money to pop in an XP when the prices drop, and hopefully, if they ever so, when ddr memory prices go back down.
