well I wouldn't risk cancelling your ovia order until go through a Staples CSR and confirm your order! Can be a bit of a headache
HELP!!!
I called them up but was told that due to having coupons posted on Bulletin Boards on the internet that they need me to fax them a copy of my coupon. Can someone scan it and post it somewhere so I can print it out?

DracoLS,
I ran into that same problem with a CSR named Laurie I think. I just told her that it was emailed to me at work and she said that she would try to put it through for me if it worked. Well guess what, it worked! $135.00 shipped on Dec 26. If I were you I'd either use the $30 off $150 or try again with another CSR using the $40 off coupon. If you do try the "got it in the email thing" lets hope they don't get smart and ask you to forward the email back to them! Good luck.

Update: Called 4 different CSRs.
Two CSR put me on hold forever: Steve and Cheryl
Third one had to "hold on a sec, while I speak to super....please" Finally came back with super on phone with me saying that the $40 off is FLAGGED and can not be used without me faxing them, or emailing them the coupon..........CLICK!
Fourth one, said same thing about $40 coupon, so I gave up and used one of the $30 coupons that was apparently not flagged, YET!
Geforce2 GTS 32MB + FREE B&W TV (blue model) for grand total of $140. Thanks Staples.
Merry Christmas everyone. 8+)

I got through with the deal earlier, but had ordered a voodoo 5500 yesterday that has already been shipped. I now have two cards coming. By everything I have looked at, this card blows the voodoo 5500 away. Is there any reason to keep the voodoo? What do you think is better?
All I can say is keep trying and PM with Onvia. Four CSR's lied to me, but the fifth was honest and gave me the onvia PM and $40 coupon. My total was $128.
Excellent! First call, I got the card w/the blue TV & free shipping for $128.63 in NY. She wanted me to read her the postcard where I received the coupon, so I acted like I was searching for it as I stalled and described how Staples sends me those little red junk coupon cards. That alone convinced her and she hooked me up.
The gamepad was out though, anyone get in on that or is that deal expired?

Long story, but I have 2 Creative Annhilators coming (32mb flavor) and now the Elsa. Here, look at this review (The Elsa wins):
High End Video Card Shootout
Maybe you can exchange the Voodoo for the PCI version and use both???

By far, this is one of the sweetest deals. I was able to add onto my order this morning, the free (with $150+ order) blue TV, with NO shipping, NO tax, and NO add'l items (my original order was $135.03).
Go Staples!
Go Staples!

An update-I tried placing an online order using the $40 off coupon (with the idea of calling later to get a PM) and the system rejected the coupon. Said I didn't qualify for it-probably because I'm a new customer. Looks to me like that coupon is dead.
my order went through but I forgot the attache deal so I called back and no problem they just added it on, a little strange that they couldn't access my order as someone else was looking at it,seems like a lot of people want this deal!( the csr's are refering to earlier deals so they they dont have to go through all the work to write them up) then I saw the free tv post and called back again this time the order was in "picking" so the csr couldn't access the file so I got sent to customer service and the rep said they couldn't access the orig order but I could add to a new one, so I gave the tv item number they said $70 bucks approx(I could smell blood at this point) and then I gave the coupon off code they took it and just charged me tax no add shipping.Bam! card+att+tv $134 what a country...Wayne (the reps were very cool about the whole thing,it pays to be nice)
What an awesome deal! I bought the card from staples.com early this morning while at work...didn't have time to call in. I just got home and called to pricematch to Onvia. Valerie totally hooked me up without any problems. She threw in the free blue tv and my total with tax came to $127.44!!! Sick!!!
Oh yeah...my card will be here on Wednesday!

Just got this deal too! I called once, they said it was out of stock, I called again, and they pricematched it and accepted the $40 coupon, so I got it for a total of $129.20!!
I LOVE THE ANANDTECH EFFECT
i just called, and when I asked for the pricematch, the CSR quickly said everything listed back to me, and bascially did the dead for me...
me: Hi. I would like to order item number IM1784790 and pricematch with...
her: onvia.com for $159.10
me: um... yes. I would also
her: the tv and the game pad, right?
me: hum... right. I would also like to apply the
her: coupon codes? go ahead.
me: ok. they are...
her: ok. your total is $125.06, have a nice day!
This was the simplest deal EVER

does this card have tv out? dammit you guys are making me want to spend money again... fudge... what to do..
UPDATE Again:
I was pissed that all those 4 other CSRs people gave me trouble with the $40 coupon. I just tried again, and I got Jason @ call center in Cinninatti. He did one before and we breeze through the whole process without any trouble. TO ALL THOSE TRYING TO GET IN ON THIS DEAL: KEEP TRYING
