hmmm pretty nice deals coming from geeks.com lately. i wonder how long their greenlight specials are gonna last. maybe its a desperate plea for customers

 

[HDTVMan]

You know how much more sleep you just caused me. :moon:

 

[HDTVMan]

Thats Interesting?

MultiMedia Hub/FM Radio/Equalizer/SRS-WOW & 16x DVD Drive

I wonder if I can mount it to a DVD Burner?

 

[hans007]

this doesnt seem quite as good as the last few weeks.

i noticed some of the prices are creeping up. like the toshiba 3.5" usb drive had been $17. now its $17.99. the motorola 802.11g bridge was $33 now its 34.99.

im wondering what that big clearance they are supposed to have soon will be like.

 

[imported_Bruin711]

wow $6 shipping

 

[THRILLHOv]

any thoughts on that video card for a windows HTPC? should i just wait for prices of Geforce6x or 9800+ level cards to come down... the fanless, with tv and dvi out is appealing. my 5200 has never worked right even after an RMA

 

[HDTVMan]

I cancelled my order too after seeing the shipping costs on a couple CD cases and pair of small items. Didnt seem like much of a deal.

I ordered 6 items (2 video cards, MP3 player, 2 HD coolers, S754 heatsink) for $7 total shipping. $1.17 shipping per item is good.

I agree it's generally not worth it to buy one or 2 small items.

This is an awesome card for HTPC, so long it is 128 bit. you need the bandwith for HDTV. prolly as low-end as you wanna go. I have it (well, not this card, but a fanless 9600np 128-bit) and its great w/ the component adapter. it struggles with the T2 HDTV disc, but that is the fault of my OC'd 1.8ghz duron
great deal op
looks identical to mine, btw

 

[THRILLHOv]

any way to confirm its 128bit... any way i can find out the mem bandwidth before i order?

edit- i didnt read that whole title bar, so never mind my assumption.... still any one confirm its 128?

non-pro's run @ 200MHz (400MHz DDR) memory clock, so about 6.4GB/s memory bandwidth....

Um, that seems very reasonable to me.

same here, i mean everyone is so used to "free shipping". but geeks uses UPS and they charge what it costs them.

have you ever tried shipping something UPS or fedex. evenf or something under a pound its probably $6-7 regardless of what it is there is a minimum cost for UPS, not to mention packaging etc.

i used to have one and played halo 1 PC with it and it ran fairly well.


9600 NP is more or less the same chip as an x300 non se.

 

[THRILLHOv]

well, i bit, ill tell you what it is when i get it, im so sick of my 5200... constant reboots during overlay, video randomly goes flat green... and albatron just sent my original card back to me... grumble

edit -
btw while i was there, i picked up
USB2IDE-N -- USB 2.0 to IDE Adapter Cable for 10.99 (the same one that was in that thread for $15... that so many people had trouble with.... maybe i shouldnt have bought that... oh well it was cheaper than the earlier thread)

and a DMATT-FF-NB -- 38x35-Inch Playstation/PS2 Dance Mat w/Flaming Feet for 2.99
im sure its the worst one ever, but ive never played DDR, and im not about to try it for the first time in front of people... so for $4 ($1 shipping) ill give it a try. does blockbuster rent ddr?

 

[DonCrescas]

Thanks, I bit on the laptop sleeve and notebook mouse.

DDR rules, for the most part people will help you out in arcades if they see you're new. (And you are not arrogant, or unapproachable.)

Darnit, I just might have to buy some of this stuff.

[edit] Is the 9600 showing $49 for anyone else?

Does this not look like the costco poker set? Seems like a good deal @ $30.

Yes.

$37.99 here. I had four of these in my shopping cart but got cold feet at the thought of them being 64-bit SE versions. Geeks doesn't specify which and I couldn't find any more info on the part number. That is still a hot price on a Radeon 9600 SE 128MB but I already have several Radeon 9250 and 9550 in 128-bit that perform better than 9600SE 64-bit.

Be great for HTPC, though, unless low-profile is needed.

 

[Inappropriate4AT]

lol do they not offer free shipping on small items? I want a 10 cent protective case for my CF card, but not for $7.10 shipped.
