Sweet!

KKCC · Mar 20, 2003

Thanks, looks like a few good items. I may even make the trip.

wampa · Mar 20, 2003

The 200 cd wallet $9.99 looks tempting.

bchalker · Mar 20, 2003

Anyone know if the 60gig USB drive can be opened and upgraded?

The eMachine @ $299 looks pretty good if the CompUSA specs are right (Intel® 845 Chipset w/AGP), but the eMachine website shows this model with Intel® 845GL Chipset (no AGP). Tempting little low-end machine

QuicknDirty · Mar 20, 2003

You should be able to go in anytime before 6:00 pm and purchase this stuff early, then go back for a PM between 6 and 12, correct? I suspect those Emachines will go quickly (although I haven't seen an ad in print locally-DFW), depending upon how many they have in stock.

Just a quick note- Best Buy also carries the T1842...possible PM opportunity?

dethman · Mar 20, 2003

nice compilation. that hd is tempting.

FPSguy · Mar 20, 2003

Thanks! I was interested in that digital camera as a present for a kid. After reading these reviews, though, I think I'll pass.

Does anyone know if this is nation wide? I can't find any ad's in Cincy.

azoomee · Mar 20, 2003

Its in Philadelphia -- saw it in the newspaper today. Yea!!!

11 Mbps Wireless cable router $19.99 AR 295202 $99.99 less $40 IR less $40 mfr MIR

Now we know why BB had the Netgear wireless router on sale for $20 during the middle of the week. They were doing an early competative PM with CompUSA. The SMC 22 Mbps wireless router for $30 looks like a nice deal.

TooChill · Mar 20, 2003

I'd be interested to see what capacity that 175gig HD really is.
I don't know of any manufacturer that makes that particular size. Any ideas?
180 or 200 gig would be my bet.

QuicknDirty · Mar 20, 2003

CompUSA is updating their webpage now. I suspect that this sale will be listed online soon.

180 or 200 gig would be my bet.

It's a Western Digital - 8MB buffer

SearchMaster · Mar 20, 2003
