    Hitachi 2Tb $70 + ship ?Warm

    Looking at Newegg reviews I see quite a lot of DOA's and "bad Hitachi customer service." I'll pay a bit more to find a drive with less negative feedback.

    Cheap booze. Pepperwood grove wines $1.27 at Trader Joes.

    If true, that's fantastic. They are pretty good wines, especially the zinfandel (not white zin). The lowest I've seen them sell is $6.99, usually they are $7.99 or more. There is also a "around the neck" coupon on some bottles, in some stores, if you can find them, good until Jan 31, 2005...

    Ceramic Shashami Knife on sale (was $760) Now! $575

    Pretty knife, but I doubt the veracity of any seller that misrepresents their goods: From the site that makes this blade (See their fax): ?Q. What are ceramic knives made of? A. These knives are made of an advanced, high-tech ceramic called zirconium oxide (also called zirconia). This...

    Staples $10 off $20 B&M

    Consider this.... The coupon is clearly from Staples. If it really isn't, Staples has the ability, and the responsibility to get it pulled, if necessary by court order. It's easy to find the isp of the originating site. I called my local staples manager, asked if it was fraudulent, was told...

    psa: AT&T long distance minimums started 3/1

    Beware of 10-10 numbers. I had one once, that charged a simple nickle a minute, period. Then about a year later, I noticed huge bills....seems that indeed, it was still a nickle a minute, problem is...they now had a twenty minute minimum...uh oh, no notice that I recalled. (As I used this...

    PC Video game thread (Ravenshield, Athena Sword, Battlefield Vietnam, UT2k4, etc.)

    What's with this link?? I just tried it, and my comp hung. I figure, well...it's probably low on resources, so I tried it on another computer...also hung... Tried it on a third....hung...? Very strange...is it working for others? If not, it ought to be removed.

    PC Video game thread (Ravenshield, Athena Sword, Battlefield Vietnam, UT2k4, etc.)

    A good deal for some perhaps... but free NOT!! Try $12.99 a month... !!! Sucks in my book. New sort of "bait and switch" tactic? Comm'n EA, you'll make a bundle @ $2/month... but $144/year... Buy this for your nephew or neice (as I almost did) and suffa!!

    Is there a benchmark/analysis program free of spyware?

    I've got a 1.3 Celeron (Tualatin) with an ATI 9600 vidcard, my 3dmark3 score is only ~500, but I've noticed that when I play DiabloII on my older computer with the same processer, but a much older ati card, (3dmark3 score = ~60) it handles complex video activity much better than the new setup...

    Monitoring - Benchmarking

    If you read their privacy policy, they add tribal fusion, and...well, I gave up trying to figure out what other sort of spyware....at least they admit it!! Unfortunately, as they say... essentially...."we have no control over what tribal does to your machine. *sigh* Is there a benchmarking...

    Office Max add up for 2/15 ..... 80GB WD (again) - $39.99AR

    Looking at their website, I see no hd for that price. Could you please include some info, skew, or item #, and days it will be on sale. I really don't mind waiting a month if all I will get is a rain check. I used to get "special offers" but don't anymore...I suspect that this shows on that...

    Cheap ($5 - $10 after MIR) mATX 1.2GHz Via C3 all-in-one mobos (also Socket A) at TigerDirect.com

    I was burned by TD once. Against my advice, a friend of mine was burnt also...with me picking up the pieces. TD is a blatently unethical business. I enjoyed reading the BBB page, and will use this when advising friends who inevitably come across a TD deal. Also, I am inclined to agree...

    WD 80gb Hard Drive 19.99 @ Office Max - after mail in rbt

    The ad which we are directed to farther down indicates that the item is for sale from the 25th to the 30th. Did you get all the rebate forms, even though you bought "early"?

    Hard Drive Thread (DEAD)

    I am dismayed at the paltry one year warranty. IBM Drives used to be (or at least I thought) the most reliable. Why are there none listed here...is IBM out of the drive business? Anyone know which drives have the best performance... I've burned out a lot over the years and I for one, am...

    Thank you... Nice list..., very useful. Gawd....WD used to offer 5 year warranties, then three, now one...and after the date of manufacturer?? Next I suspect that both will warranty for one year beyond the CEO's date of birth! I lament that there are no IBM's listed... I've burnt out six...

    mad dog 7.1 soundcard for 20.00 AR BM Compusa

    I see a price of $59.99 plus a reasonable shipping fee. The rebate appears to be $30. The balance therefore would appear to be $29.00....so the cost is about $30, not $20....am I missing something. --I cannot find a single review online. --Compusa has a 2.06/10 6 month rating on...
