$5 off $15 @ Drugstore.com

be aware: i believe the 'aid' part in y00ycdz's url stands for 'associate id', and is thus a referral code. you will get to the same place if you strip off the '&aid=328705' part. complex

VA Linux Dual 750Mhz P3 Server with SCSI HDD for only $800

my order was cancelled. :( they said they didn't have inventory or something, which is totally unbelievable. the entire premise of the quickship line is that the boxes are already put together, ready to be shipped. is it that difficult to count the number of boxes you have, and then only sell...

VA Linux Dual 750Mhz P3 Server with SCSI HDD for only $800

i ordered mine, this was a great deal, i'll be colo'ing it at my workplace for free. :) the case, mobo, ram, processors, and disk exceed 800 bucks (i think), so if needed a rackmount, you should've jumped on it. i say should've because it looks like the deal was taken down. i can get to the...

New IWILL KK266 BIOS

i agree delray. i mean, the mobo was already looking pretty good, but your observations about better performace are interesting. gamepc's review had the iwill like 0.5% behind the abit kt7 and asus in most tests.

Iwill KK266 and 266 CPU's

also important to note: the review is dated february 28th, which means the tests probably weren't done with the new bios update, which is date stamped february 27th and announced on iwill's just today (i think). the new bios my fix the 'out-of-spec' 266 bus issues. going home to play with my...

Question about the integrated sound on the Iwill KK266

cmedia's web page is at http://www.cmedia.com.tw/. it seems (note: seems) to emphasize the a3d over eax. for example, the specs page for the cmi8738 chip says "HRTF-based 3D positional audio, supporting DirectSound? 3D and A3D? interface" on the second line, and "Drivers support...

Yamaha 16X10X40X CD-RW for $199.99 with free installation at CompUSA starting 2/18

a longer more in depth review is at http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200101/20010117CRW2100E_1.html. it does somewhat agree that the specs are just advertising/marketing, and the reading on non-perfect (scratched) cds can be a bit tricky. read the review and decide for yourself. complex

cool looking 12X panasonic dvd drive for 69.00

tkim: the advertised dvd speed, frankly, isn't that important. that's the speed it uses when reading dvd _data_ disks. things like encarta on dvd, games on dvd, stuff like that. sure, coming up there will be more things on dvd, but i don't look at the dvd speed too closely myself. dvd movies all...
