    ABIT AB9 Pro Intel P965 $59.99 AR Mobo, was $49, Newegg

    I bought one when it was 49 with the free shipping and I think its a great deal. Smooth installation and very quick with an abundance of features. I don't have the ip35 to compare this to but I don't see how you can provide an arguement to purchase that one over this. The feature set is...

    (Dead) Dynex ATX Mid-Tower PC Case with 500W PSU, $19.99 at Best Buy, in store only

    This case is an excellent value. You would need to spend 100 to match the integrity of the case alone. The power supply is probably about midway between a cheap ps and a very good one. Unless you are building a power hungry system this power suppy is more than adequate. If you are building a...

    sapphire 2600XT gddr4 $72.99 + 5.84 shipping AR

    Any deal involving this rebate company should be flagged. This is a shuckster outfit and its almost impossible to get a rebate back from these people. As such the deal should have to stand on its own merit of whatever the retail price is disregarding the rebate. Actually we should start...

    Foxconn 8600GTS 256MB $79.99 AR ($109.99 OOP)

    You have every right to be concerned about your rebate. That company which is really just an extension of foxconn has many complaints filed against them. On top of it foxconns customer service is nonexistent. God help you if you have a warranty issue with these characters. This is one...

    Fujifilm FinePix S700BK 7-Megapixel Digital Camera $109 @ CC

    Circuit city has the Fujifilm FinePix S700BK 7-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black on sale in its circular for $109. Online it shows as $199. This is a pretty good camera especially if you can snag one at this price. I believe there is also a rebate coupon floating around for finepix camera with...

    New RETAIL e4300 139.99 @ the egg

    You might want to check out some of the 650i boards too. I run the e4300 on the msi non platinum version and it is extremely stable at just shy of 3.4 on air with no heat issues and no voltage increase. I did do the 266 fsb pin mod on the chip. There are good reviews on the asus version too.

    Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4GHz Socket 478 OEM now....$119.99

    Well appoppin in response i can only say, its good to hear you got satisfactory results. I may not be an expert on this particular cpu but i've been building computers for over 20 years and I think i may have just a small clue. I've seen reviews of this processor numerous times and although...

    Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.4GHz Socket 478 OEM now....$119.99

    My gut reaction was to jump on this one as its so compelling to get a rare chip. In reality this chip eats tons of power. Also if its true that the multipliers are locked then i'd have to question whether or not these are the real deal or just another marketing scam. Last but not least is the...

    MSI S754 NF3-250 and NF4-4x ATX Mainboards @ Geeks.com

    This board and that 3200 venice with any luck would just about rival anything within the realm of reasonability. Outrageous performance for the dollar when you consider what a c2d rig would cost done up properly.

    COOLMAX PS 500W - $29/AR

    I bought this one and got it free after rebate. Its not a bad ps but its not as silent as you would think. I've got a couple that are really quiet. I dont think i'd buy one again but its good for a backup.

    CoolMax 500W PSU free AR from Buy.com

    The power supply is ok. The rebate came fast in my case. I do think its on the noisy side, but if that doesn't bother you then its worth the investment.

    Cheap Socket 754 upgrade

    I believe the combo deal is great although you don't get a heatsink and fan with it and you settle on the mobo. For someone wanting a little more customization I think the 3000 is a fine alternative. Either way you are in the sweet spot as far as bang for the buck. I don't think overclocking...

    Ultra-x 500W PSU (green) - $0.00 AR(s) *** FREE ***

    i did the expedited rebate and i have received it already. the radio shack rebate doesn't show in the system, and of course they make it virtually impossible for anyone to contact them. I'm not a fan of this type of thing. If you are going to issue rebates then you off it to your customers to...

    Ultra-x 500W PSU (green) - $0.00 AR(s) *** FREE ***

    In reply to you djspl........the con job is that none of this is disclosed while you are initially on their web page making a choice between expediting the rebate or not. In making that decision I think its a pretty important piece of information, don't you?

    Outpost: Ultra X-Connect 500 watt Power Supply $24.99 A/R

    The only power supply i've had gone bad in 25 years was a super flower that I bought 2 years ago. That probably encompasses 100 + cases and power supplies with a broad spectrum of outputs and capabilities. Most of these psu's are built in the same factory with the same specifications. The...

    well i ordered and started the rebate process on the one from the mfg website. It asks you if you want to expedite the rebate for $5.50. Supposedlly once they receive the documentation they are supposed to turn it around quickly. So I go through this process and they email you a page to...

    Ultra-x 500W PSU (green) - $0.00 AR(s) *** FREE ***

    its on radio shacks web page Ok i called to clear it up and they admitted that the way the rebate is printed is ambiguous. Anyhow a copy of the upc for them will be sufficient.

    Ultra-x 500W PSU (green) - $0.00 AR(s) *** FREE ***

    It would appear at first blush that the radio shack rebate is looking for a copy of the upc, however if you go to their rebate faq it clearly states that it requires the original. I'd call them first to make sure before you jump on this.

    Actually it may be beneficial for both them and the consumer to pretest the boards. My suspician is that some of these products may be returns or opened boxes. NO matter. As long as they haven't been used and they work whats the difference if the box was opened. I bought the 144 and the...

    Is socket 754 "obsolete?" Please read OP before voting

    I agree with the majority, 754 isnt obsolete, not even close. Its one of the best value platforms of all time. As soon as 754 was released people were already downplaying it from this obsolete perspective with 939 waiting in the wings. Its just a bunch of crap. The speed differences are...
