    Camera Sling Bag - Sam's Club $31 - YMMV

    26 at ours. It's a definate copy/ripoff of the Lowepro SlingShot 100 or 200 AW, which I own. It's alittle sloppy compared to Lowepro, but perhaps alittle more volume. Maybe its a more direct copy of the AW 200 than the 100. It even has the clips to prevent the zippers being opened too...

    Transcend 1GB Secure Digital Flash Media (80x)- $27.97

    I've had a Transcend 1G 80x for about a year. On my PDAs and Cameras, it seems to be as fast or faster than their SD interface, so I dont see a need for 133-150x in my usage. (not to mention sporadic reports of timing problems with some devices and 133x+ cards). I just picked up another one...

    Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

    Little Rock store has 1 left.. the 2 tone box was 56 AR, the other style (I'll call it the green/black nvidia reference box, haha) is $87. Same model number, but the 2 tone box was a higher serial number and cheaper, so nabbed it (206-150mir). They actually had all the cards on clearance...

    Virtual Rc game FULL game FREE added TWO more full games: Trackmania and FMS

    for FMS, try one of the $10 gamepads like this http://us.thrustmaster.com/products/d_prd.php?p=T39&fam=5 while throttle is going to have a spring that returns it to center, unlike a real RC TX, it gives you analog 'sticks' and really helps get the hang of things.

    CompUSA Cost plus 7% Sat 11-19

    best price to find a PDA right now is SamsClub. $399 for a 4705 or $369 for a 2755, out the door (if you have a biz card without the markup). Alot of stores are OOS, but I've found both instock within the last week. Not exactly on topic, just thought I'd drop that on ya.

    Pentium 2 266mhz /w HSF - $1.99 + ship

    actually, assuming you could find a nearly free mobo/vid, they make decent smoothwall or ipcop machines.

    Universal UPS Belkin 500VA

    I bought one. All I can tell you is that my Antec 380 PSU (p4-3, ATI 9800, 2 HDs, 1 DVDR) was making this thing squeal like a pig. I was using Nero Recode and when my CPU hit 90%+ this thing would go into overload. It says 500Va, but its only about 275 watts (or something like that)...

    I pulled the trigger on the $49 AR 1gb Kingston Elite Pro CF card. I havent gotten a rush or overnight order in under 3-4 days with them in over a year. They've got some work to do over there. Agree with everything everyone has said, I go with ZZF before NE now. ZZF has been...

    TDK 4X DVD-R and 4X DVD+R two 25 packs for 24.99 at Costco

    4x -R TDK from Staples burns at 6x on my 2510A for what its worth. So far, I'm really liking the TDKs.

    Kingston 256MB SD Card $19 after Mfr MIR at eCost

    the card I got from eCost is made in Japan. As a general rule, the Japanese made cards will trounce the Chinese made cards, and often are less suspectible to corruption. Using HD-Speed and a Sandisk 2.0 reader, I clocked this Kingston 256 at 6000 KB/s-8000 KB/s. Considering most lower end...

    Buy the Sony/Ericsson T610 Phone, make $125!

    the sim dislogded messages are kind of annoying. And everyone else I know with a T616 gets that message (and has to remove the batt to reset) about once a month. The phone is as good as the service area. The camera is probably among the weakest of the camera phones out there. *But* the...

    norton systemworks pro 2004 Retail-$39 (no rebate)

    if they dont pull the infamous "no UPC" crap on you, then yeah, you'll get it right away. Unfortunately, I've been bitten 2x by the No UPC thing (and others have mentioned it too).

    NEC 8x Dual Layer DVD Burner down to $79.99

    USB Bluetooth Adapter 100m range $9.99 after rebates *YMMV*

    having tried a few diff brands, the Belkin software/drivers were the least buggy by far. Since BT isnt native to XP, you rely on their explorer-like interface program (xfering or setting up profiles). This is a good deal because some of the other cards, like Ambicom, in that price range...

    NEC 8x Dual Layer DVD Burner down to $79.99

    well, last night I picked up a few TDK 4x +Rs at Staples (10 for $12 - wasnt ready to commit to 50pk, dont know what would work in my player) and threw some TV captured mpeg1 files togeither. Burned with Nero Vision. It was all very very easy. Worked flawlessly. Pretty happy at the moment.

    ugh, I went to install a M108 from autozone last weekend. Mobil had double threaded the filter, it was loaded with shavings ! Obviously I returned it and that was my last M1 filter. Shame, they do rock.. The manager at Autozone walked back there and we found several other sizes that also...

    If you check out gpspassion.com, you'll see the reviews on this. Its based on the Fortuna Clip-On. I really liked the size and features, but in ST mode, it was not nearly sensitive enough compared to the CF GPS I had. I sent mine back and ordered another through semsons.com (<- GREAT customer...

    OD B&M HOT DEAL?................. Audigy 2

    Got the last one in Little Rock.. both LR stores OOS now. NLR store unknown. It was hidden behind other Live cards in the back of the store. The Live cards were 45 and the Audigy2 was 19 :/ You may have to look for the bargain section, not the glass case. And like in this case, employees...

    CC: 9800 NP for $199 NO MIR! Now with Picture of the Ad!

    I laid down the snaggage on this deal. The RAMDAC must be alot better on this than the GF cards I've had before. I had some funky slight static/ghosting on my Samsung LCD on some game's menus. Its ALL gone with this card. Bonus! I'm not going to miss HL2 until it comes out.. That should...

    Kenwood Sirius Satellite Radio Package for $49 at Sears.com

    No, I didnt know that.. not a bad deal at all. If I was buying all over again, I would be leaning toward Sirius, mostly for the free web stream.. I wouldnt need one of my XM tuners if that was the case (my work/home skyfi tuner). Assuming that the lifetime deal is the lifetime of you and...

    Kenwood Sirius Satellite Radio Package for $49 at Sears.com

    that is a totally unfair generalization of XM. Yes, they have some top 20 stations with commercials. Yes, those are the same top 20 hits that are on FM.. There are 50 other music channels without commercials and play stuff you CANNOT find on FM. If you think the Joint DJs dont know...
