Pretty warm to hot: PNY 3 or 5-port SATA RAID 0/1/3/JBOD PCI card for $21 or $40 after MIR + shipping.

These appear to be the Netcell based cards. They work well under windows, since there is a windows driver that can monitor the status of the RAID set and tell you when a drive has failed (and which one), rebuild status, and such things. When a drive fails you can hot swap it then initiate a...

Good deal on motherboard at Tiger direct?

I got about the same deal from TD, took forever and a day for the rebate to come, but they did come eventually. This deal comes with not one, but two rebates. I also had to resubmit two out of three rebates after sending three rebates in one envelope (one was entered into the online system...

5 port D-Link Gigabit Switch

Oh, and let me point out one more thing about switches in general: d-link has FREE advanced replacement, if you blow a port, you can get a replacement shipped to you at no cost, swap it, and send the broken one back. With netgear, advanced replacement costs $15-$25 a pop, otherwise you might...

5 port D-Link Gigabit Switch

Jumbo frames are not really that critical. Especially for $25! To see any benefit from jumbo frames, you have to have support from end-to-end on your network, all the network adapters and switches along the path between stations must support it. Otherwise you'll have fragmentation, which is...

WARM Seagate 300Gb UATA100 8MB Buffer - $129AR @ Outpost

I had a seagate/outpost rebate rejected due to the "wrong" serial number... but without any calls, letters, or emails on my part the rebate magically appeared, about 2-3 months after the initial rejection. The other seagate rebate my "friend" sent in went through the first time. So seagate...

Free Frosties from Wendy's this weekend

It's a loss leader, the cheap item that's offered to get people to come into the store, that doesn't make money in and of itself. They hope to make their profit on the fries, drink, frostie, hot apple pie, salad, and whatever else they can tempt you with during the "suggestive salesmanship"...

Asus K8V SE Deluxe & A64 3400 $199 AR socket 754

I don't see any other forum that looks more appropos than hotdeals for this, so let me give you a TD rebate update. I sent in three rebates, completely filled out, UPC attached, and copies made. I mailed them ALL in one envelope, certified mail return receipt. (If you're an experienced...

PNY 512MB PC3200 DDR RAM $20 AR

My PNY 512 mb PC3200 RAM works in my Abit board... but not in my Asus Kv8 SE board (the system I actually bought the ram with as part of a package deal) Guess we'll see how good PNY's RMA process is!

Asus K8V SE Deluxe & A64 3400 $199 AR socket 754

The processor is a 2.4 GHz, 512MB cache unit (most of the 3400+ were 1MB cache, these are "special") The street price on a similar processor is right around $200 so you're getting the motherboard for "free" after rebate. I ordered this deal, also did the PNY ram deal and the 2900+ XP / Abit...

Abit KV7-V MotherBoard, AMD Athlon xp 2900+, 512MB DDR RAM $129.99 AR

Got my stuff in, at least TD ships quick (and packages well!) Board/RAM/CPU work great, running FC3 right now, 3940 BogoMIPS. Audio was detected but didn't work... but I've had several systems do that with FC3 and worked after some tweaking. Network, SATA, and everything else is OK...

Abit KV7-V MotherBoard, AMD Athlon xp 2900+, 512MB DDR RAM $129.99 AR

It's not just a rebate, it's TWO rebates ($30 for the RAM and $40 for the CPU) They are both processed via onrebate.com, don't know if that's good or bad... You can get very, very similar deals from globalcomputer.com. There are also other motherboards listed there with the same RAM/CPU...
