    compact fluorescent light bulbs, CA only?

    mechou, that's a fantastic deal, thanks for the post! Last year I went to CFL, cuz well.... it just makes sense. The lower power consumption is great. Also, for me, I have a lot of hard to reach bulbs. The CFLs last for years, so that makes for one less chore around the house. Oh, and if...

    Lite-On 16X DVD±RW w/ LightScribe for $29.99 at Tiger

    Yup, Athena is right about that. Just gotta look out and hop on it when it happens. Of course, I'm the king of paying $2.99 for Rush orders.... hey what's 3 bucks when its actually on my doorstep at noon the next day on the east coast? That said, the Tiger deal posted is still a good deal...

    Man, I hope they do this on the east coast. I'd be willing to be a guinea pig if they hold one of these near DC!

    1gig Ultra DDR PC3200 $59.99 AR +ship

    oops, sorry I didn't elaborate. It should be listed for $59.99* below the "Carl's Deal of the Day" box. I changed the link... I think it should go directly to the memory at the correct price now. Let me know if it doesn't!

    1gig Ultra DDR PC3200 $59.99 AR +ship

    Well, I guess that's the point of the TigerDirect rebate guarantee. Anyway... umm... yes there is a difference between packing slip and invoice (I believe some packing slips even state "THIS IS NOT AN INVOICE"). If you want an invoice from TD: goto tigerdirect.com click on "My Account"...

    1gig Ultra DDR PC3200 $59.99 AR +ship

    Yep, they've gotten a lot better. Now their rebates are guaranteed by TD. They do most of their rebates through OnRebate.com too. That seems to have made a huge difference. I've gotten every single one in the past 2 years with no problem. OnRebate allows electronic submission followed...

    1gig Ultra DDR PC3200 $59.99 AR +ship

    Really? Hmm... I've seen this happen lately. The other day I was getting $115 and other times $140... I think it might have something to do with that priority code at the very left and bottom of the screen. It's still showing up at $99-40 for me, with Priority code: WEBRSS001 If you...

    Seriously... while I don't agree with the hostility of this thread, and I normally would never comment on this, if you're going to attack someone for being dumb, use the proper English to do so.

    Hey all. TigerDirect has a 1 gig stick of PC3200 DDR RAM for sale $59.99 AR (doesn't include shipping costs) $99.99 - $40 MIR This MIR is for 9/1-9/30 Honestly, $59.99 is a damn good price considering the costs of DDR lately. Of course, what really sucks is I bought this 2 days ago...

    Hanns 19" LCD $109 AR

    Wow... Just wow.... I had to get in on this one. I've got a Hanns G 19" from a tiger promo like 9mo back. I've been really impressed with the quality. But $93 AR + CC + FatCash (as Engineer described) is an amazing deal!

    HOT: Get up to $160 back by opening bank accounts.

    Yeah, I figured that one out at the beginning of the year. I mean hey, it was free money, but still that blows! IMHO it isn't worth the time and effort to work towards getting these penny transactions. The OP posted a great deal. As long as you have $2500 to set aside for a month, and $1000...

    Seasonic S12 Series S12-600W 600W Power Supply Retail $139 After $10 MIR

    I can certainly understand your hesitation... I only got a 430watt last year.. but hey ewiz had it on sale for $70, so at the time it was a great deal! Definitely invest in something quality though. It's amazing how much more stable your system will run, and how much longer your parts last...

    Seasonic S12 Series S12-600W 600W Power Supply Retail $139 After $10 MIR

    I haven't checked the specs on all of these, but in my experience, besides being the quietest, Seasonic was also the most power efficient. I dunno about you all, but I run mine 24/7, so the less heat and wasted energy, the better!

    Free Starbucks Coffee ***Dead***

    This thread is hilarious. I love the ones CarlKillerMiller & commOdog made up too :) As for the first coupon.. I'm sure it all depends on how smart the 16 year old at the register is. Hell, it's freakin coffee they're selling for $5 a cup. It costs them nothing to make. If they're smart...

    FREE Backpack AR

    Wow, $9 for UPS ground shipping? That seems a little steep. However, this backpack is selling from $30-$55 from other online retailers. So in the end it's still quite a steal.

    See if you qualify for Cingular/Verizon bill discount!

    19% off Cingular here. Works on primary and added lines of service. Does not extend your contract, also does not work against multimedia/txt plans. I've had this for quite some time. My fiance and I on a family plan with 19% off = sweet deal. Now back in the day I had an ATT plan with...

    Seasonic S12-500W PSU $109.00 after $10.00 rebate

    I'll second that. The S12 is incredibly efficient, rock solid, and quiet. I'd take that over a lawn mower that puts out a few more watts and costs me more at the meter any day! Nice post OP, anytime this PSU goes on sale it's worth hearing about.

    3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT only $125 after MIR

    Good deal OP! Don't listen to the whining naysayers, TD has never done me wrong and I've used them for countless rebates. I might just have to pick this up for my new SFF rig. Don't forget, if you go through F@twallet, you can get 3% back on the original purchase price of what you buy at...

    Norton Systemworks/Firewall 2006 deal @ Staples

    FREE Cubic Zirconia Necklace

    Junk mail doesn't bother me, and everyone has a spam box, right?? As for quality... who cares if it's fake, it's free. Probably looks better than the plastic junk they sell by the boatloads at Walmart for $10 per piece. Unless you're planning on some special event, girls mainly just want...

    Ultra-x 500W PSU (green) - FAR before shipping

    Mixed reviews... looks like they work great if you don't get a defective one. But Ultra offers a lifetime warranty on these PSU's if you submit your registration card... takes about 2 minutes online. So at worst you have to RMA it. But hey, it's a FREE 500watt PSU!! Great post OP! BTW, I...

    Tigerdirect - blue ray blanks shipping :)

    well, I think it's like everyone is saying, it's really great to see BluRay media, but it's gonna be expensive for the first year or two till the technology starts getting mass produced and prices drop. We saw this with CDs, then DVDs. A BluRay burner hasn't even been launched yet, has it...

    Free ABC Streaming

    Seems fair to me. It's gonna take quite a lot of $$ for hardware and bandwidth to support streaming on this scale. At least they're gonna give us an option.

    19" LCD Monitor & eTrust ISS: $149 AR + ship @ TigerDirect

    The reason is that not everyone has the money to cover the rebate. $150 is a great deal if you have the extra $140 to float for a couple months while you wait for the rebate (as has been the practice of MIR's for years and years). You are not FORCED to spend any extra money to get a rapid...

    19" LCD Monitor & eTrust ISS: $149 AR + ship @ TigerDirect

    Well, that differs from my experience, but to each their own. I had my monitor and rebate money back within a week. I wouldn't just go out and buy a monitor for no reason, especially with LCD prices dropping all over. However, if you are in need of one, this is good quality for a good price.

    19" LCD Monitor & eTrust ISS: $149 AR + ship @ TigerDirect

    yep, onrebate does a rapid refund now. Costs like $5, but you get the money back in a couple days instead of a couple months. I actually did that when I bought the Hanns G.

    Need Caffeine for finals?

    Yes. Adderall and Ritalin will keep you up and wired for some time depending on the dosage. If you do have ADD, this stuff is amazing. It lets you focus like none other. If "normal" people can concentrate like this all the time, I'm jealous. If you don't have ADD, it will just really keep...

    Super HOT!! 19" LCD 8ms 700:1 $149.99 AR

    Yeah, as much as I love the Egg, I'd never buy a monitor with their pixel policy. Maybe people like us don't make enough of an impact on their sales to revise it, but I would think that's got to cost them more in lost sales $ than it would to accept returns. The only way that marketing...

    ewiz has 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive for 25.95

    I just got an email from ewiz today about these. They're selling the aluminum and superslim ones. I'm looking for a flash drive I can keep on my keys, which makes the durability of the aluminum sound ideal. But I don't want something bulky. Are the aluminum ones tiny??
