    No longer Hot. Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 - now $44 AR

    Got mine. Some weirdness in the rebates though. The MS rebate website doesn't recognize the SKU. Plus, the paper rebate requires that you submit the UPC and the keyboard boxtop! Must be generic language designed for a software box because that it one big box. (For that matter, which side is...

    Seagate 200GB IDE hard drive 9.99 or less

    Worked here too. Cash register spit out the $30 receipt, but I had to download the $50 receipt. Also picked up the MS Wireless Ergonomic 4000 Kybd for $24 after rebate from another thread. Today is a good day to compute. Jinxt

    Canon EOS Rebel XT + 18-55 & 75-300 lenses & IP6220D $900 ARs

    Are you guys twins? Also, I think I read on ihack that the firmware on the XT can be reflashed to the 20D, with the only major difference being the shots-per-sec capability. If true, very cool.

    TRENDnet 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter $8.98AR

    Alas, Alas, out of stock. Shinare: Buy.com has a lower reseller rating than Amazon and others--it's in the mediocre range. However, I've ordered tons from them over many years and no problems yet. GL.

    **HOT** Sharp LL-172A-B 17-inch Black Multimedia LCD $160 Shipped AR/PM/YMMV

    Not legal either. Triple's solution probably runs the risk of mail fraud. BTW, for a newbie like me, what does YMMV stand for?

    Humax t800 80hr tivo $99 AR @ Sams

    ChuckyH, I'm a longtime TiVo devotee--get the box. Humax is a TiVo licensee and they're fine. Just like Dell doesn't make their own computers anymore (they OEM them from manufacturers in Asia) so Humax is simply OEM'ing TiVo stuff. They're well known within the TiVo community. As for...

    Humax t800 80hr tivo $99 AR @ Sams

    Reasonable deal. Used to be that you could only get a 40gb Series 2 for this price. My guess is that new models are on the way. If you're interested, it's very easy to upgrade the storage on these to 400gb or so for about $150 in parts. Good luck in any case. Jinxt

    Price drop. Apex DRX-9200 DVD Recorder/Player $119.99 AR Free shipping

    BEWARE You may NEVER get your rebate. In the business news today the lead story was that Apex owes the chinese company it OEMS in the US hundreds of millions of dollars. One Apex executive jailed when he traveled to China. Bankruptcy possibly looms. On the other hand, this could mean big...

    SATA wd hd 160 gig oem refur for - 69 + 5 shipping

    Yup, generally not a good idea to go with refurb for anything with moving parts. Solid state like a motherboard is a better risk, but it's all up to the user. Me? I keep my data on paper. 1... 0... 1... 1... 0... ~Jinxt

    Seagate 200gb PATA $69 AR

    It's the usual Seagate retail box. I've seen them as low as $49, but here's still a reasonably good price. These drives work great for TiVo upgrades! Linky Have fun.

    **HOT** Sharp LL-172A-B 17-inch Black Multimedia LCD $160 Shipped AR/PM/YMMV

    Whoops! More data. Dell can only go as low as $291 BUT they will provide free shipping if you ask. Tax is also charged though, which would bring the price to $316 - $100 = $216. That's a very reasonable price for a great display.

    **HOT** Sharp LL-172A-B 17-inch Black Multimedia LCD $160 Shipped AR/PM/YMMV

    Dell says they will match the price for me--rep is verifying price while I'm on hold right now. How to see that Dell is a valid retailer for this coupon? Jinxt

    SATA drivers on WinXP cd?

    Most BIOSes allow you to use the CDROM, either as boot or during boot. You might try burning the SATA drivers to a CD and inserting then on the F6 prompt. Maybe even burning them onto a copy of your original Windows CD. I'm trying to be creative here, peeps.

    Zalman CNPS7000-CU $30.99 shipped

    Apparently a new model is out (7700?) which is physically much larger than the 7000. I read a review on the former, which runs just a degree or two cooler, but also looks likely to block a whole bunch of stuff on a range of boards. Think of having a Cessna 150 prop inside your computer. All...

    Zalman CNPS7000-CU $30.99 shipped

    Joerg, I'm speculating, but it should be fine with an AMD 3000+ winchester. I'm planning to do the same overclock and, from what I've read, the overclocked 3000 still runs --cooler-- than the stock FX-55. So I think this should be great. If I get it up and running soon enough, I'll post...

    what mobo for A64 3000+ ?

    Fatest overclocking will be the Neo2 or the upcoming Neo4 from MSI. The latter is due on 12/28 at ZipZoomFry.

    New PC's RAM and HD Question

    Actually, the reviews of the Neo2 state specifically that SATA / PATA drives integrate seamlessly together through the bajillion or so controllers on the mobo. In fact, the integration is tight enough to support a RAID array that spans both types of drives simultaneously. FYI, I noticed that...

    onboard sound for K8N Neo2 Plat?

    Hey, the above critiques of the Neo2's sound quality read fairly extreme. Is it actually that bad? And, by the way, does it support digital optical out? I'm trying to decide whether to buy a separate sound card for my pending Neo4 purchase. (drool, drool) Can anyone offer some more detail...

    Chaintech 7.1 Channel PCI Sound Card w/Optical Digital Out

    Can someone comment on this card's sound quality/capability versus the built-in 7.1 available on the forthcoming MSI K8N-Neo4 Platinum? I think, for example, the Mobo has digital optical out. But I really have little experience/knowledge about sound in general. I'd appreciate a good general...

    Tivo Series2 $50

    Heck, TiVo gave away free to Comcast customers 2,000 40gig Series 2 boxes on the day that link was posted. You had to wait in line outside their corporate offices. Apparently the line started around 4:30am. I should have put up a "TiVo Upgrade" sign.

    edit - Hot deal? Seagate 200GB, $69 AR, outpost.com

    FYI. Like Emeraldsky says, these are excellent deals. It seems that Fry's/Outpost is helping a lot of the drive manufacturers (at least Seagate. Maxtor, and Western Digital) blow out quickly obsolescing PATA inventory. A bought a few 160, 180, and 200 gb drives in the last few months--all...

    i want to buy this mother board the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra Athlon 64 Skt939 DDR! i have a ati x800xt pci-e

    Your card will work on both boards. The AMD/Neo4 combination will, however, leave the Intel combos in the dust in terms of performance for gaming, busines, etc. It will also use less expensive RAM (DDR instead of DDR2) while doing it. So if performance and longevity are your goals, the AMD...

    Price drop again! Princeton SENERGY 714 LCD Monitor $228.99 + 30 Amazon GC. Final Cost: 199.99. Update: 1/12

    For what it's worth, I saw one of these displays at a friend's business last week. There seemed to be a lot of black shadow next to text on the screen. He said he had a hard time using it for long periods of time without getting a headache. FYI.

    Hot: 1GB Kingston HyperX PC3200 159.99 NO MIR!

    I bought this at Fry's a week or so ago and had plenty of time to read up on it since then. Apparently many of the reviews note that the HyperX has trouble living up to the claimed speeds. (I can't say one way or the other as I'm waiting for that Neo4 board to arrive...) There's also the...

    NForce 4 motherboards

    Sympathy to Toomraider. I'm sitting on a whole set of new hardware, just waiting for the mobo. Right now I got 600gb in HDs, 1gb ram, new aluminum case, blah, blah blah. Anyone care to recommend a good PCI-E video card at a reasonable price? Can't go to the high end unless I go into crime.

    MSI Neo4 SLI

    (Well Hello) Dolly, I'm just in the process of building a system too and noticed that quality DDR RAM is getting very cheap over the last few days. Fer instance, Fry's (Outpost.com) just sold Kingston Hyper-X 1gb package (2x512 DIMMS) for about $150 after rebate. There's also a bunch of...
