Thanks for posting.... now we only need a Fry's on the East Coast!

 

[bargainshopper]

The Smartmedia card is 128MB, in case anyone want to know.

Nice to see memory continuing to go back down. Still not as good as
it was about 6 months ago, but it is going in the right direction.

 

[Dan]

bargainshopper: Thanks for catching that. I amended my post.

leonc: You're right. From what I've read, memory prices are supposed to start trending down for awhile. I'm going to pick up a stick of that 512MB DDR for $99.

Here's the link to the Fry's Ad in the L.A. Times.

thanks dan!
i'm actually kinda interested in the 32x. wanna replace my aging 8x

ur fry's update is awesome. i check it religiously every week. keep up the good work

 

[SnoopyTHDog]

Any comment on the Yo! MP3 Player, 32MB, uses SmartMedia Cards = $29.99 ?

 

[Davemeister]

epox mobo/xp1800+ retail cpu for $199 is decent. the mobo is not bad, used it to build a machine for someone and is stable. not sure if it overclocks well. if you grab the combo and just want the discounted cpu price, have someone return the mobo for you and request refund back to credit card. normal price on the mobo was around $99, so adjusted prices are probably $85/$115. for comparison, retail cpu is $113 + $7 + tax (if applicable) at newegg.

<< Car Audio

Hmmm, the model number Fry's lists in their ad (cdx-ca700x) is a Sony Headunit that does not play mp3's.

Either they got the description and model number wrong, or Fry's is playing with our heads again!

CDX-CA700X on Sony Website

hmm, should i get in on the 80gig or the 120?
i do hate rebates so i dunno

 

[im2smrt4u]

That Retail 120GB WD drive is hot! But that is one hell of a rebate!

<< That Retail 120GB WD drive is hot! But that is one hell of a rebate! >>


ya it really is but the OEM and retail versions are the same to me
I dont need a pretty box and instruction manual for the mentally handicapped

 

[alpineranger]

Retail -> no worrying about whether the drive is under warranty or not (and for how long).

 

[JoeKew1]

Also don't forget, here is the first page from the 8 page Fry's Ad out of the OC Register, just scroll down, and on the left is links to the other 7 pages

That what I was thinking. Although, I do like my two WD1200JBs from Dell!

 

[Dan]
