    Polk monitor 30 bookshelf speakers, 79.99 and 3 shipping plus tax in CA

    Thanks for the post. These will match my cherry Monitor 70's perfectly. The monitor 40's were too big, they looked more like a center channel. The Monitor 30's are just what I was looking for! For all you Polk speaker fans, it looks like newegg is coming out with revised monitor 50, 60, and...

    Polk CS1 center speaker $69.99 w/code

    That is medium compared to the CS2. I had to buy a new tv stand in order to fit the CS2. I own both the cs1 and cs2. Both have really good sound. The cs2 has more bass. I'm listening to the cs1 as I write this. Great, clear voice and sound.

    Newegg: Polk Audio Monitor 70 each - $149.99 + $2.99 shipping

    I have these and CS1 hooked up to an AVR1603 (85w). They sound fine. But then I have these and a CS2 hooked up to an AVR4308ci and they sound even better but are bi-amped. 75w will be fine and leave you room to upgrade. Please realize that just because you have the power doesn't mean it will be...

    Polk Audio Monitor 50 Floorstanding Speakers $87.99 shipped NEWEGG

    If you are serious about your system, I would get the Monitor 70s when they go on sale at the Egg for $199 or less. It happens about every month. I bought the Monitor 70s as a price mistake at Circuit City and still paid more than the sale price at the Egg. I do not regret it, however. They...

    Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800 PC2-6400 $59.99 AR

    Ballistix is supposed to be the performance line for Crucial, right? Also a question about Dual channel memory. A friend told me that when buying 2GB for Dual Channel that the system only sees 1GB usable. Is this right?

    Fry's B&M: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OEM w/ ECS GeForce6100SM-M MB for $99.99

    Anyone find a cheap but worthy case to house this? I think this is a heck of a deal. I mean a MB/Proc combo for under $100 and its not a celeron or a sempron.

    160Gb SATA or PATA $24.99 AR, 250GB external $50 AR

    Thank you OP. OD closes at 7pm on Sundays. What a surprise. The store I went to were sold of the SATA version but I was able to grab the PATA version. I suppose its still a good deal even for PATA. also picked up the Seagate 250GB external for $50 AR.

    Fry's B&M: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ OEM w/ ECS GeForce6100SM-M MB for $99.99 I picked this up today at Fry's. They are offering the same price and MB with an AMD 64 4200+ Retail with Fan instead of the 4400+ OEM. I opted for the 4400+ with a $15 Thermaltake TR2-R1 Heatsink & Fan.

    Maxtor 500GB back at Fry's $109 SATA/300

    I picked it up at 99.00. Have not opened it yet so I cannot confirm the loudness. Hopefully it does not sound like a jet engine taking off(like some DVD burners I've heard).

    HP Pavilion dv9207us Notebook Hot Deal? $749.99 AR ($400) and AIS ($50)

    I feel for you GuildBoss. Its best not to get complicated when doing rebates. They will find any reason to deny the rebate, for it is in their best interest. I usually buy the product, evaluate it before cutting the UPC, then send in the rebate (reading all the fine print). Once you stray from...

    HP Pavilion dv9207us Notebook Hot Deal? $749.99 AR ($400) and AIS ($50)

    To Vista or not to Vista? It really depends on what you plan to use it for. Vista has known issues with 3rd party software packages right now. So bad that Microsoft is promoting a new sticker that states "vista certified". If you plan on surfing the web and watching TV on it, then you are...

    Do you have the express card hooked up to cable? If so how is the qam tuner? Are you getting channels you don't normally get with the cable box? I haven't pulled my express card out of the box yet. What is a qam tuner?

    For those of you buying this laptop, check out Quickplay. It allows you to play dvds and cds without even booting to windows. I have not played with the Tuner express card or the two remotes that came with it (strapped for time) but please share your experience on what works/doesn't work. With...

    HP Pavilion dv9207us Notebook Hot Deal? $749.99 AR ($400) and AIS ($50)

    I sympathize with you. I initially bought mine from costco then before it was even delivered I saw the compusa one on sale and it comes with remote (I havent used it yet ) What a deal! I took the costco lappy back as soon as it arrived and they refunded it no problem. Not like best buy who will...

    HP Pavilion dv9207us Notebook Hot Deal? $749.99 AR ($400) and AIS ($50)

    I have this laptop and I hooked it up to a 50 inch lcd using the HDMI. It is hard to read the text as such a high resolution (1920x1080). Be aware that sound does not come through on the HDMI with windows vista. The only thing I can think of is that the nvidia driver is not capable of doing it...

    You'll love this if you have a Costco membership. I was in one of the Costco's in CA and saw that they had the Logitech LX5 Cordless Optical Mice for $15 something each in the computer section. Actually my receipt says $14.99. Anyway, this mouse seems to be $30 almost everywhere I look. I got...

    Maximum PC 1 year $4, 2 years $13, 3 years $15

    That's why I listed bestdealmagazines and not netmagazines. I felt that the low reseller rating made it a bad deal. What is a cheap price if you never get the magazine? bestdealmagazines had a middle of the road rating and most complaints were due to late start times on the subscriptions but...

    Seagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA II HDD $79.99 AR +SH @ TigerDirect

    Yeah, the tigerdirect rebate was really complicated. For the HD you needed to included the entire sheet that came in the oem package, not just the UPC. As long as you read the instructions and follow them, you should be ok.

    Seagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA II HDD $79.99 AR +SH @ TigerDirect

    Yes, the jumper config is clearly stated on the drive. I have an older MB that only supports SATA 150 so I left the jumper in and it is backwards compatible.

    Seagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA II HDD $79.99 AR +SH @ TigerDirect

    Just received mine today. It sure is taking a long time to format. Watch out if you get the FAR 90 degree SATA cable. It hangs down a little so if another drive is too close it wont push all the way in. I had to leave a little space between the drives.

    Seagate 320GB 7200.10 SATA II HDD $79.99 AR +SH @ TigerDirect

    Yeah I got in on this deal a few days ago. Seemed like a good $/GB ratio and it comes in SATA too. Make sure you scroll down the page and select the free after rebate sata cable and molex converter because the drive is OEM.
