1 Gig Athlon Retail Lovin $199 (Laff.. they upped it to $211)

Damnit... did buy.com pull their $30 off early again? It's suppose to last until the 15th. I keep trying to add it, but it won't show up in my cart. Did it on a friends computer too... no luck. Any of you guys can verify for me if it's still working?

[update] Just went ahead and placed my order... then called up customer support and got them to add the coupon... don't forget to go through ebates to save another 2%. Total came out to $224.95 shipped. $264.95 - $10 (digital neighbors gift certificate) - $30 coupon. If I get the 2% rebate, it should come out to $220.45.

The CSR told me they were having trouble with the coupons. So call them up and tell them to add it manually if you are having trouble.

I also order a 1 Gig (retail) from Comp-U-Plus and they not only got it out to me in two days but also shipped me a 1.1 Gig chip instead, finally some good fortune through an online retailers!!!

WOAH!!! TCSmusic... you one lucky mofo. Hehehe, wonder if it was switched with someone else's order. That'll leave them scratching their heads =).

Where do I find these Buy.com coupons? I haven't seen mention of them anywhere on their site.

** NEVERMIND!!! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! Just checked my saved email and found a coupon they sent after my last purchase from them.

Save your selves some trouble and buy the stuff from Step Thermodynamics with a motherboard and ram and mebbe a couple of extras... they got very good prices for all of the components withought any hassle if you are buying a cpu and cooling system combo... prolly will be better off with those... hope i am right .. (I hate getting yelled at in an on-line forum!!! )

Here's another vote for Step Dynamics. My friend recommended them to me, but I wanted to get my own stuff (so I could choose my own heatsink and what not) but ended up just getting the retail stuff anyway.

How well do the Step Dynamics cooling systems work?

Yes, I've had a horrible time dealing w/ Comp-U-Plus and their rude jerkoff NY attitude.

I've gotten retail boxes taped, ripped and crushed, thankfully w/ the product in working condition (video card). Called them, they told me its not their problem. It obviously didn't occur while shipping b/c the other products in the box were fine and the shipping container wasn't damaged.

They SUCK!
