My AMD 6870 appears to have died on me, and I'm looking for a replacement around $300. I haven't been paying much attention to the video card market over the last several years, so I'm now a little lost on what my best options are. I have seen very few video card related [H]otdeals or Slickdeals...
Now, before your knee jerks and you stub your toe, I'm well aware that the general consensus is that an HTPC and NAS should be in their own disparate systems. I understand (generally) the arguments against doing it, however I feel that in my circumstance combining the two into a single system...
Got an email from the Egg, advertising their double shellshocker for today.

Fry's B&M has the EVGA GTX 260 graphics card for $189.99 with a $30 MIR. This is from the Dallas area Fry's add, but likely exists in other markets.

This is hot to me because I have a 975 MOBO that wont accept any quad other than a Kentsfield. I was...
I've wondering this for years: what does MicroCenter mean when they list some parts as being "Private Label"? How is a "Private Label Intel-based" MOBO different from an "Intel-based MOBO"? They are the only e-tailer I've seen list computers parts that way.
For example:
Fry's B&M: Intel i7 940 CPU + GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R MOBO for $699. This is from the Dallas area Fry's ad, but deals here usually exist in other markets as well. The same MOBO and CPU at the Egg is $775, which already includes a $30 Egg discount.
This is from the Dallas area Fry's ad, but probably exists in other markets as well. I've never seen the Nano below $35 without a mail in rebate, so this seems pretty hot. Sale might only be for today.
Fry's B&M: Q9550 + ECS Mobo for $229, no rebates. The egg has the Q9550 by itself for $320. This is from the D/FW area Fry's ads, but might exist elsewhere too.
Not sure how great this is, compared to the couple of ~$100 deals a day ago, but I grabbed this to replace the OCZ deal from Fry's that got back ordered.
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
$169.00, free ground shipping with no MIR...
Hey folks, quick questions for you. I'm going to pick up some ram from Fry's to pair with the nice Bad Axe 2 deal microcenter has going on.
Right now the Fry's near me has two sets of ram listed as on sale:
Corsair PC2-6400: 2 * 1Gig (I can't tell if they are Micron chips or not)
Or...
First, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, and if it's not I apologize.
Like the title suggests I'm looking to pick up a new/used oscilloscope to give as a gift to my dad for Christmas. Over the last couple years he's needed one to fix some things around the house that died...
Not sure if I missed something or not, but I can't seem to find the thread about the nixie group buy that gee was offering. I sent in the money once the second version came out (around the 10th of October), came back to see if there had been any changes, and now can't find anything about it. I...
