    $60 drop Today! Dell PowerEdge 600SC server P4-2.4GHz 40GB only $270 shipped after $100 rebate + $110 off + 5% coupon!

    I think I am going to cancel my order tomorrow morning. With all the extra components I have around I decided to just pick up an Asus P4PE and P4 2.4GHz 533Mhz chip. That came out to about $300 and I already have the rest to build a machine. Its technically the same speed as the 600SC I was...

    $60 drop Today! Dell PowerEdge 600SC server P4-2.4GHz 40GB only $270 shipped after $100 rebate + $110 off + 5% coupon!

    Not for me. I just placed my order. The way I look at it, the cheapest P4 2.4GHz chip is ~$145. That would leave $145 to get a 40GB drive, a motherboard (not to mention a ServerWorks board with a GigE NIC and 4 64-bit PCI slots), ram, and a case. Thats impossible. It'll make an excellent...

    Sony E440 Black 19inch AG Trinitron CRT 288$ shipped

    Not that you can trust customer reviews much, but at least 8 people that bought the monitor from NewEgg think its pretty great. If I didn't already have a decent monitor, I'd probably pick this one up. Great price in any case...

    Western Digital 180GB 8MB buffer HD for $189.99 AR at Outpost

    Did they raise the price in the past few hours? Several places on the page say $229 after rebate while others still show $189 after rebate. If you add it to your cart it shows up as $329 as well. Seems a little shady to me...

    MAXTOR 73.4GB U160 3.5LP 4.5MS 80PIN 10KRPM for $229.00

    The reason I am thinking it is a 1.6" drive despite the "3.5LP" text in the product description is due to the fact that every other site this drive is posted on labels it as a half height (1.6") drive: 1) Here 2) Here 3) Here 4) Here 5) Here 6) Here 7) Here 8) Here Anyways, you get the...

    MAXTOR 73.4GB U160 3.5LP 4.5MS 80PIN 10KRPM for $229.00

    Price isn't much different at this site. Looks like its the older Atlas 10K II versions in the 1.6inch form factor. Its not a bad deal for 73.4GB drives, but I think I'll pass. The two 36GB Atlas 10K III SCA drives I have are good enough for now... Much better reseller ratings here.

    Western Digitl 120gig 7200RPM 100ATA $100+tax after $50 MIR at Officemax.com

    It wasn't online when I tried to order either. I just called up their 1-800 number and gave the woman the item number. I no longer have the item number but the SKU is 20148555. The rebate is valid til 12/7/02 and you can still use the $30 of $150 coupon over the phone. Good luck!

    HOLY COW! CompGeeks is flush with AMD processors... great prices

    Heh. I'd like to see what they would do to refurbish a processor. Use a microscope to re-burn the traces??? :) Used or not, its still a good deal. I've personally never had a CPU die on me (aside from a motherboard blowing out a chip, but thats not the chip's fault). Hell, I still have...

    Western Digitl 120gig 7200RPM 100ATA $100+tax after $50 MIR at Officemax.com

    Well, it looks like you can no longer order this directly from OfficeMax.com You can still search for it and it will show the WD 120GB drive, but when you try to add it to your cart it says "GenericTable data not found Product 20148555 available in retail stores only" I have confirmed that...

    Outpost.com - Western Digital SE - 8MB CACHE Drives - 80GB - $89, 120GB - $119 After Rebates

    I believe the $30 Rebate only requires the Capacity label and the $50 one needs the Capacity label OR the UPC. In theory, you should be able to send the capacity label to one and the UPC to the other. I'd definetely want to confirm that with Output.com first, however.

    Well, I had no trouble whatsoever doing a return/re-buy. I just waited in the Customer Service line for about 15 minutes and told the girl at the counter I bought the card a couple days ago and wanted to get today's deal. Right off the bat she said "Well in that case I'll have to process a...
