There is a thread down there "Elsa Gladiac GTS 32MB DDR $151 shipped from Staples "

There is $40 off 150 coupon, so you can keep more money in you FAT WALLET ;)
Also you can get the shipping down to $6 if you show the shipping charges on the website (don't make em call pcmall.com)

1)Call staples 1-800-3staple and pricematch IM1784790 with this + $156
2)Give the rep you pcmall login and pass, they can check the shipping cost + $6
3)Add the coupon mentioned above - $40

$156+$6-$40=$130

Most of the credit goes to MrCadaver (see here )

"2)Give the rep you pcmall login and pass, they can chack the shipping cost + $6"

Give them my PCMall login and password? That's bogus. Good overall deal, though.

not too sure about giving your login and pass to the CSR though :p:p:p
but if you choose to do so, just make sure you're credit card number is not in there

well, you just have to make some bogus login, just put your adress right.
ie. joe@joesmail.com:joe... They need to know the shipping cost, thats all.

And considering you'll end up giving him your name/adress/creditcard anyway...

I got it, 142.50 after PM, coupon, shipping, and tax. Ghetto staples charged me for the 2day UPS from PCmall, but are shipping it ground. I'll stick it to em for the few bucks after it ships :) =read: cheapskate

Anyway, the -40 is only for $200 purchases, so I had to use a -$30 instead. Still rocks for the retail version.

Thanks to all involved!

:confused:There appears to be no link since the product appears
to not even be at staples.com:

&quot;Search Results

We're sorry, we searched All Categories for your Search terms, but didn't find any items that matched IM1784790 ,
ALL AREAS.&quot;

I also searched for &quot;Elsa Gladiac&quot; and &quot;Elsa Gladiac GTS
Geforce2 32mb with no response.

What's the deal????

Newswatcher,

Call 18003STAPLES and give them the IM number. It is in their computer :)

Hey, if they charge you more than pcmall's ground shipping, call staples again. It happened to me, i got charged $12 for shipping (it was nasty sales rep). I called again and got it down to $6 with different sales rep.

As for the coupon, its $40 off $150. Go to fatwallet deals forum for details.

Ok, everybody, Staples does NOT list everything they sell on their website. Call and ask to see if they carry it, and I'm sure the CSR will be happy to let you know. Don't even bother with the website.

For those that are worried about giving the user and pass for pcmall, why would you be worried about them getting your credit card number??? your going to be giving them one anyway when you place your order with them arent you?

just my $.02

Just ordered the Elsa Gladiac card.

Didn't have to give them a login name or password to pcmall. I just told them pcmall had it for 156. They put me on hold for 2 minutes and came back and said they could do it.

The $40 off coupon is for orders over $200. I used the $30 off 150 for $141.21 shipped... :)

Missed out on the last buy.com deal, but I got this one for around $133.
Hope that this deal go through.

Staples, like every other Ecommerce site, gets most of their products from Ingram Micro. They are the worlds largest distrubutor or Computer Equipment.

If you call Staples, ask them to look for item # IM1784790. They should find something.

I ordered and got this card for $138.10 shipped. I was charged Tax, which I have questions about, but the card may be delivered next day from a local Staples store.

Good luck to you all.

Here's the scoop guys:

- The item number needs to start with IM####### or IM with 7 digits. When I said just the 7 digits, one CSR said they only use 6 digit combos, so I then instead said &quot;IM#######&quot; and he instantly found it.

-Don't give them your zip code until they check for the item. I just asked my CSR Chris and he said they had it available, and then asked for my ZIP. He then proceeded to tell me that it's out of stock in my area code 92656, but said that they will mail it from another location.

-My total came to $132.54. I used the $40 off of $150. It's still valid. $6.20 shipping was from pcmall.com

-They PM with pcmall.com without asking for login info. So there's no worries there.

This is my first Staples.com PM, and I was done on the phone after 5 minutes. Good luck! Staples is better in service than BUY.com.
:D

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if this card has good 2d?

I love the 2d on my Matrox G400 32mb card but 3d kinda sucks.

I use 1024x768 on a decent 19&quot; monitor. Will I go blind reading the hot deals on this board in 2d with the Geforce2?

It's not a business videocard, but the 2D is certainly adequate for doing stuff in Windows. It might be a moot point now that the price has gone up, unless somebody can find a good price on it elsewhere.

Ick. UT is optimized for Glide drivers, so you wouldn't see a huge improvement. D3D games will be no match for the Geforce though - it'll kick ass in D3D. Honestly - what's more important to you? If gaming is it, then the Geforce is it.
