The P4/Mobo combo was 199. They also had P4Celeron/Mobo combo and some AMD combo, I believe AXP2700/KT600 combo (NOT hot), but I don't remember the prices. Try looking at the broadbandsreport>forums>citytalk>Chicago>monthly frys update thread - I think it should have the prices listed. Or call the store.

Seems so... lots of ppl also had COBY progressive DVD player in their carts and some kind of internal DVD drive in their carts, but I don't know the price on those, and frankly I don't care cuz I don't need those.

Just got back, I got one of the $99 PCs and the $25 DVD player. I'm posting from the PC right now, it is pretty quiet and doesn't look too bad. There were some other good deals that I didn't notice in the flyer until I got home, like the 3.1MP camera for $99 and the laser printer for $70.

I just got back from the grand opening and I was impressed. I grabbed the AMD combo with a AXP2700/KT600 ECS Board for 69.99. I went with a bud and we filled the cart with non rebate sales items. I believe if you watch the sales and shop wisely you can do very well at this store on quite a few items. I am glade to see them open my drive time is 30 mins but I never have a shortage of friends to go to places like this and the computer shows.

That was a 1 day only sale. They have the same mobo (ECS KT600-AS) and the Athlon XP 2500+ boxed CPU with fan and 3 yr. warranty for $59.99 + 7.25% tax ($64.34). This is for today only.

Well, for 60 it's not a bad deal. I'm heading there now - just did not get enough time yesterday during lunch.

I thought the 120 GB WD IDE ATA-100 8mb cache drive for $29.99 after $70 in rebates was pretty hot. I'll get SATA later on.

I picked up the 160GB Maxtor Hard Drive w/8MB buffer for $70, DVD+/-R 8X burner for $99 (minus a $30 rebate...to New Rochelle :|), luggage cart for $20 (perfect for hauling around my Midtower), and some minor stuff.

I saw tons of people picking up a $99 TV (it looked like a 25" or 27"?).

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I also picked up Skies of Arcadia Legends for the Gamecube for $10. It looked like this was their regular price.

Appears that they are only advertising area wide in the Sun Times and the non-Du Page area tribunes? Du Page and local Kane County Tribunes didn't get the ads, but the rest did and all the sun times did.

Any ideas?

Oh My.... :Q:evil:

I was going through the rebate forms, I got:

Netgear Offer #19500-02
WGR614 Router $55
WG511 PCMCIA $40
WG311 PCI $50
WG121 USB $50

Well the 311 comes with a extra $10 MFR rebate, big deal, right??

Netgear Offer #19936-40
WGR614 $20
WG511 PCMCIA $11
WG311 PCI $10
WG121 USB $10[/quote]

What forms did everyone else get??

Couldn't believe they didn't advertise in the Daily Herald or Chicago Tribune, but I'm sure they did ok without it. Picked up the 3 Ghz P4 and Motherboard combo, the $25 DVD player, the free ATX case, 120 GB HD, and some new speakers. Got the new machine up and running with the P4 and it works great. :)
