There were/are two different cashback programs that have been running and will end soon.
The eBay cashback program:
eBay was offering 5% cashback on qualifying purchases - but as I understand the eBay cashback program, you had to receive an invitation from eBay via your eBay user name in...
I will build a Crossfire system now using all of the components I have already purchased - with the exception of the FX-60 processor. I'm going to sell the FX-60, and buy a dual-core Opteron I can overclock to get me by for now. When the upcoming Core 2 Duo platform becomes readily available...
Actually, I'm not a hardcore gamer. My use for this system will be more for video editing/processing and everyday computing and multi-tasking. However, the build is close enough to be a hardcore gaming machine that that is how I refer to it when asking questions.
And to answer your question...
I offer my sincere thanks to everyone who has posted to this thread. The advice, suggestions, opinions, debates and arguments have been most helpful, and I now have a better idea of how I plan to proceed with my build.
Revised Plan:
1. Sell the new, unopened AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 retail...
I sure could use some opinions and/or advice on a build I have been planning for awhile, and have almost reached the point of no return on.
My plan was to build a more or less state of the art gaming/overclocking rig today that would stay close to the top of the heap (performance wise) for at...
I'll be hooking up my 780 system as soon as I receive the cables I ordered from CablesForLess today. My speaker wire is due here today and I've already positioned my speakers - just need the rest of the cables to get here.
I'll let you know how the system sounds after I get the cabling...
Thanks for the input. I needed cabling for the Onkyo HT-S780 Home Theater system I bought last week but I kept gridlocking when it came to buying cables. So many choices and so many prices. I just ordered all of the cables I need for my home theater system ((except speaker wire) from...
Got a $1 discount. I don't know why exactly but all of that for $1 off a purchase offended me. A percentage discount would have been good. A higher dollar amount would have been good too. But a dollar? Pass...
I have posted several honest reviews on Newegg - some positive and some negative. The positive reviews appeared and the negative reviews never got posted (without exception). If that practice by Newegg is not dishonest, it is at the least unethical.
BTW, based on what I have read from...
Yes, you can disable the audible alarm.
I just ordered two of these UPS units yesterday (and a surge protector) using the special code. I?ve been waiting for Belkin to get these back in stock for a couple of months now, and saw them in stock yesterday. I own APC UPS but with the special...
I agree. I run 2 desktop computers and like to swap parts around frequently. When I bought two of these cases, my life got a whole lot easier. The hard drives mount into a removable cage (that is positioned in front of the intake 120mm fan), and every 5.25" bay device is mounted on rails that...
Thanks people. I just ordered one for $221.71 - shipped (after applying the 10% off code found on Fat Wallet.com).
I currently have the Built by Ati X850 XT Platinum Edition and the X800 XT Platinum Edition ATI cards. In benchmark tests I've done, the performance of the X800XT PE card has...
Ridata DVD media are known to be of good quality. As with any media, the quality depends on the actual disk media manufacturer and type (media code). Ridata 16x DVD+R's at $32.99 per hundred (after $10 mail in rebate) is a good deal. If your burner can't burn at 16x, this media should still...
Just a heads up. Amazon.com frequently has a sale on the retail 100-piece cakebox Verbatim DVD+/-R for $29.99 - with free shipping and no sales tax (for me). I just bought 2 100-piece cakeboxes a couple of weeks ago from Amazon (media code MCC-003 - great stuff) for $29.99 each.
So, if...
Why is that? Our West Coast household switched to Virgin Mobile a couple of years ago (after using AT&T and other majors), and our cell phone costs have been considerably lower.
You still have to take in account how much you actually use your cell phone in order to figure out what plan is...
How about that Taiyo Yuden media? Great stuff, huh?
10% off Shop4Tech's price on the TY 4x DVD-R media is an outstanding deal for quality media. I haven't been as fortunate as some who have received the TY-002?s (8x) with this deal, but the 400 TY-001's (4x) I've received have been...
They have sent me one Spam.err...informative email about their 3D CAD program, which also included a survey. If this deal works out then cool. If it doesn't then one more spammer isn't going to put me over the edge (I don?t think?).:confused:
I believe it ships with a USB to PS/2 adapter so you can use the PS/2 port instead of the USB port if you like. If you are limited on USB ports, then buy a USB hub. You can literally have over 100 USB ports if you daisy-chain enough USB hubs so it's not likely that you will be USB port limited...
That's the price listed on their website now. It was $140.00 last week, then went up to $150 and today the price is listed at $160.00. That's their asking price without coupons/discounts.

Not a smokin' deal, but a good price on 1GB 200-Pin DDR SO-DIMM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Notebook Memory. I bought two of these last week to try out in my Dell 8600. I swapped out my two 512MB Samsung memory modules in my Dell 8600 and installed two of these Kingmax 1...
I'm going to be attending the July 1st presentation in Sunnyvale, CA. I have a severe lower back injury and there is no way I could sit or stand for the entire show. I'd like to ask for some advice regarding attending the show - from some of you who have already been.
I do want to pick up...
