I got relatives in town (wife's side of course) and I have to entertain them tonight. I'm going to miss out on the Fry's One Day Anniversary Sale.

They have a XP2500+ mobo/cpu combo on sale for $69 bux. I could pick up two sets, sell the mobos and put the 2 cpus on my duallie board.

Snooze you lose as they say. :disgust:
 
no chance to make a pitstop?

if it's any consolation, i've been running my 2500+ at 3200 speeds for close to a year 😀
 
Look at the bright side, at least you have a Fry's. I'll be long since dead when they finally come to Maine.

:frown:

Thank you, nothing like a little lemon on a paper cut. 😛
 
dude, can't you entertain your in-law at Fry's?

well seriously, there's plenty to look at there. Like, nose hair trimmer. 🙂


or, ask someone to get them for you.
 
just tell them you gotta go out and pick up snack for the night or something or how about throw on some movies and sneak out? matter of importance here, you can always tell your wife that one.
 
I wish I could sneak out but the part of town we're going to isn't near any Fry's. I'd take 'em to Fry's but little old people don't seem to be interested in good wholesome 'puter parts.
 
are you talking about the manhattan beach store? go to dinner at CPK or Olive Garden or something in the Manhattan Village Mall, say "omg I have to go to the bathroom!" Run out to your car, 10 minutes later you're back with the parts 😉
 
Hmm, maybe I can get them to come with me. Show them the "Tiki" theme at the Manhattan Bch store.

Gotta run now.

Arrange for someone you know here on AT who lives by one pick up what you want and ship them to you after you pay them. 🙂
 
Fry's here in LV has other items (TV, etc) that they could look at.

Just tell them the truth, that you need to stop by for 10 mintues to get some computer parts.

It will allow you to make it easier to send pictures of your wife to them.
 
Tell them you gotta run an errand and will be back in xxx amount of time.

What are they gonna say...? I mean you already married their daughter.
😉

You should have told me - I was at the MB store on Friday morning buying a whole lot of stuff and would have bought this for you.

Frys *always* has some combination of Athlon XP / ECS mobo on sale. Just wait a few days, and they'll have 2600's or something...
 
Things worked out after all. Today, Fry's had a similar deal for $79 bux, a XP2600+ bundle. Picked up two and I'm happy. Cpus are retail boxed ones too. 😀
