Too bad it doesn't have onboard TV out. It would make a nice MythTV system with that. Maybe it's an option?

 

[Chunkee]

usually there is a radio button, but I do not see one. i am wondering if they would honor and refund if i i bought two

I was just about to post this...

 

[Chunkee]

anyone else care to speculate whether or not they will give the Free Sempron? I am wanting to get a couple of these

 

[Chunkee]

[CupCak3]

well you may be SOL there Chunkee.... newegg only allows buying one combo at a time.

i see a radio button...

 

[foohbah]

radio button definitely there now - wasn't there last time I looked.

 

[oupei]

wow, you could build a whole sff system for about $400 bucks with this. just add $75 ram and $70 hard drive and $40 dvd drive.

 

[Chunkee]

crap, now the radio button is there.

i emailed them, but probably need to call them...anyone ever speak to someone at newegg, do they answer the phone?

[Chunkee]

CS lady said to reject shipment of the two IDEQS from this weekend, and order two new ones with the combos....when they get the orginals back they will credit my account.

Got mine in. Nice setup. I'm really happy with it. Well organized, quiet, good space inside. Not too hard to assemble. Real good color manual.
I ran seti to put some load on it and see how loud the fans got. I was surprised that it didn't cause the fans to increase speed at all at full load for extended periods. (it is a bit cold in my house now that it is winter, but this is pretty impressive nonetheless.) The stock cpu cooler is obviously designed for a much hotter processor.
Overclocked the Sempron some and it didn't increase the fan speeds either. Not sure yet what the upper limit for this system is. The bios allows you to OC the FSB from 200 up to 235. I have mine at 220 right now and am stable.

Oh, and this deal is still available as of 12-23-05
