    Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111 notebook = $499 after MIR @ Best Buy

    I think you've just proved what an ass you are. You know dang well what I'm talking about when I say "YOU"=BestBuy because you work for them and are defending them. I will say no more on this. Your like every typical BestBuy employee trying to rip someone off.

    Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111 notebook = $499 after MIR @ Best Buy

    Now your ticking me off. Just shows what jerks BestBuy employees are. This IS stealing, anyone with any common sense can see that. YOU sold me a defective printer, I returned it to exchange it for another one, and then I lose out on the free mail in gift card. YOUR employees insisted I had...

    Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111 notebook = $499 after MIR @ Best Buy

    I expected this kind of reply from you since you work for BestBuy. This is BestBuy's old trick of luring customers into the store with very limited stock for frontpage sale items. People don't appreciate wasting their gas and time. 8 per store is not many, and the total number of stores means...

    Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111 notebook = $499 after MIR @ Best Buy

    Does anyone know if laptops like this, are capable of playing games? Or are only the higher priced ones capable of playing games such as Everquest? I noticed the graphic card on this is just a shared one "Intel® Extreme Graphics with 16-64MB DVMA shared video memory"

    Toshiba Satellite M35X-S111 notebook = $499 after MIR @ Best Buy

    Personally I wouldn't blame the customer for this. I would say its the stores fault for having so few in the first place. BestBuy seems good at doing this.

    Pocket PC vs PDA

    This is probably a stupid question. What is the main difference between a "Pocket PC" and a "PDA"? They look exactly alike from what I can see. Is one more preferred than the other? (Or are they the same thing?)

    Anyone have experience with the Belkin pre-N router?

    I don't own this router, but from what I've read, you get a great increase in range if you using Pre-N on both ends. One guy said he was able to walk a block and a half away from his house before he lost his connection, with Pre-N on both ends. To me though that seems like overkill. It...

    Ms. Pac Man & Galaga Arcade Game $ 4,200.00 + shipping

    This brings back memories. I remember seeing these flat style ones at rest areas when we went on vacations years ago. I would never pay that amount of money for something like this. But there probably are people who loved the game and prefer the actual thing. Probably a business might...

    BestBuy.com Customer Service number?

    Thats also another gripe I have. The bestbuy.com website clearly says that to exchange an item you have to take it to a local store. I did exactly what the website said to do. Yet the store claimed I had to get a refund. Its too late now, but if I had to do it again I should have just...

    BestBuy.com Customer Service number?

    Nevermind, I finally found my way through their automated maze of prompts. Apparently I won't get the gift card. Funny, she had to call the rebate center to see if I would, as if somehow the rebate center has final say over what BestBuy.com does. This is plain stealing from customers...

    BestBuy.com Customer Service number?

    Does anyone here happen to know a number BestBuy.com customer service? (not the 1-888-bestbuy number) For their online store. I ask because I emailed them a question about having returned a printer that came with a $30 mail in gift card that I purchased with instore pickup at their website...

    BestBuy and "Performance Service Plan"

    I was wondering if anyone knows whether BestBuy's "Performance Service Plan" is worth it? Or just a ripoff? I purchased an IP4000 printer from them recently for $128 (with tax) and was debating if I should get their extended warranty (PSP) (3 years for $29). I did a search on Google, and...

    Memory price fixing

    I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I have always known that the memory manufacturers were doing price fixing. And today I read the proof. Jail terms for DRam price fixers Hardware is not something that should be fluxuating as much as memory has in the past. I also said the same thing...

    ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB PCIE $170+6

    I haven't read up much on PCI express cards, but why are they so much cheaper than AGP cards? Also I assume a PCI express card requires a motherboard that supports the PCI express (socket 939)?

    Numpad on keyboards

    I was planning on getting a new keyboard, and saw a lighted Zippy keyboard that doesn't have the seperate numpad on it. Do any of the newer games require a numpad to work? Or is it unwise to get a keyboard without a numpad? Just debating whether I need to get a keyboard which has a...

    World of Warcraft - Circuit City $44.99

    I had thought of maybe trying World Of Warcraft because the reviews are pretty good. That was until I read what their insane monthly fee is ($15). I can get unlimited dialup internet access for cheaper than what they charge for a monthly fee. Which defeats any opinion that they can't afford...

    Odd DFI LanParty 250GB Problem

    That is weird. I know I had problems when I first installed my board, WindowsXP wouldn't let me finish the install. I ended up having to raise my DDR voltage to 2.8v, then everything ran fine... I wasn't even overclocking at the time. Does your computer pass memtest?

    Gameve.com is also the exact same price with the fedex shipping added. http://gameve.com/gve/Store/Pr...ls.aspx?sku=MB-DFI-023 I received mine quickly from them. But the board has so many options in the bios that I am totally confused. It comes with a very small manual, the full manual...

    DFI Lanparty NF3-250 & memory

    I recently installed this board, however my ram appears to not be great for overclocking. I have two sticks of Corsair xms512-3200c2pt memory. But whenever I try to overclock the FSB, the memory matches the same speed. And fails memtest when I go over 200. Is there any option to lock...

    DFI LANPARTY UT NF3 250GB

    I think some have bought from them and got what they ordered. Mainly because I remember complaining on a message board, and others posting they never had any problems. But I had the almost exact same experience as you. Two years ago I ordered a Sapphire Radeon 9700 card which had much...

    DFI LANPARTY UT NF3 250GB

    First I thought this was a great deal until I clicked the link to see who was selling it. The very place I told myself I would never buy from again. They pulled a bait and switch on me with a ATI video card I purchased 2 years ago... they were also almost impossible to contact on the phone...

    I/o plates for motherboards

    I would ask the manufacturers first and see if they will give you one. But otherwise the only site I have found so far that sells a decent variety is here: Link They are $9 each which is kind of expensive, but at least this place has a variety. Although they are not made for specific...

    ADA2800BOX vs ADA2800axBOX

    ADA2800BOX ADA2800axBOX Does anyone know what the difference is between these two AMD64 2800 cpu's? Newegg sells the one with "ax" in its name, and Zipzoomfly sells the one without ax in the name. Both say its a Newcastle core. But I thought I read on one web page that only the ax...

    A64 90nm Prices

    Personally I'm really getting sick of memory and cpu prices that fluctuate so much. No other piece of hardware changes prices like memory does. I've noticed pretty much ALL of the AMD cpu prices have been going up lately. I believe Newegg jacked the Sempron 3100 price up $30.... now the...

    Can't get Cool-n-Quiet to work on Sempron 3100+

    I've been looking at getting one of these AMD 64 cpu's or a Sempron. But have read a lot of complaints about the Cool N Quiet not working. I noticed a FAQ posted about one of the Epox boards that says the Cool n Quiet for it, only works with a single memory module... so I don't know if that...

    Sempron 3100+

    Newegg is good at doing this. If a product gets good reviews or a lot of people buying it, they jack up the price. You can buy this same Sempron for $5 less at Zipzoomfly.

    Semprons are quick!

    I don't own a Sempron, but one website did a review of an overclocked 3100 Sempron, and it preformed better than the Athlon 64 3400. Although hit was overclocked for the test. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articl...y/sempron-3100-oc.html (The Sempron 3100 is a socket 754 cpu, unlike the other...

    $75.49 shipped from Newegg - Sandisk 512MB Ultra II Compact Flash Card

    Personally I think its too much for 512, but whenever someone posts links to prices like this, Newegg jacks up the price every time. Its currently at $79 now on Newegg. You can get it cheaper from zipzoomfly.com for $75.25 with free shipping. EDIT: I guess I should look at the dates, I...

    Lexar 256MB 40X Cf card $36.99 w/ free shipping

    Your browser must need to refresh its cache. Its definitely gone. I even tried the checkout to see what they want for shipping. Plus there is no "free shipping" listed. Either that or Amazon is doing what they got in trouble for before, giving different prices to different people.

    Lexar 256MB 40X Cf card $36.99 w/ free shipping

    Well typical Amazon already ruined the deal, there is no longer free shipping, which means you can buy it cheaper from at least 4 other places, last I checked (including shipping).

    Canon S500 $380.01 shipped 3 day fedex (tax WA,WV only)

    I would doubt they bought it from that shady store. After reading the comments, that place needs to be put out of business and taken to court. They now have a price listed of $319 for this camera... obviously to sucker people in.
