Pentax K100D DSLR 6.1MP Body Only

Looks like a pretty good deal if that's the camera you want - but there is currently a $50 rebate for the next model up, the K100D. It's an identical camera, but has built in image stabilization. Normally, it'd be $100 more retail, but with the MIR, you're less than $50 away with some of the...

Pentax *IST DL w/18-55 kit lens @ Circuit City

Went to my local CC, only saw one model there with an "open box value" ticket for over $500, didn't see any boxes in the cabinets there, so I guess it was just the floor model for sale. I would really like to get one of these for a good deal, I'm still on my first digital camera, a 3.2 mp Canon...

I got both of my rebates today, all is well! Never had to call, either - so hopefully anyone who got in on this doesn't have to go through that hassle.

Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

Only a few days after getting the rejection card in the mail for the mis-labeled "$60" rebate, the tracking online has updated with a check number and status stating: "Your rebate is valid. Please allow up to 30 days to receive your rebate." A good sign, and I didn't even have to call...

Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

I just got a card in the mail saying: "Up to $60 eVGA - Invalid UPC Number" I went back to those emails I got, confirming both rebates, and they're both still saying my rebates are valid. Should I worry yet? It looks like this is the $100 rebate as well, and they're still calling it $60...

Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

I just cheked my e-mails for these confirmations and they look to be okay, although the $100 one came in saying: "We just wanted to let you know we have received your rebate submission for Up to $60 Rebate on Select eVGA Products at Circuit City." However, when I followed the link, I see...

Looking for a sff/cube w/ built in handle

Hm...cube with a handle... Ok, but seriously, that x-qpack sprang to mind first, but then I did remember there were SFF barebones models before that had handles on the top, and here's one I came across at newegg: ASUS S-Presso I've seen a model on woot.com a few times, but I forget the...

Budget AGP upgrade. EVGA 6800 AGP 128M for $213 - $150 MIR

I just picked one of these up last night. I had checked a few weeks ago when I first saw this thread, but it was ~$130 after rebate at that point. Last night it was $67 after rebate, so I went for it. I'm just a little surprised that neither rebate asks for an original reciept. Hopefully my...

15.4" Acer Dual Core Laptop with 2GB RAM, Dual Layer DVDRW, & X1400 GPU!

From the looks of the ads for next week, this laptop becomes even MORE of a steal. In the ad for Feb. 12-18, this laptop is: $1499.99 - $50 Instant Savings - $150 eRebate = $1299.99! I'm really tempted now, but I just bought my current Acer laptop in the summer of 2005..and it's been...

Toca Race Driver 2/ColinMcCrae 4 Bundle 9.97 +SH

If it's provided through Toys R Us, does that also mean it'd be available at retail Toys R Us stores locally as well? Don't want to have to pay shipping and wait for it.

HOT!! HDTV Receiver $199 at WalMart

I have one of these receivers and haven't really had any problems with it. I'm outside philadelphia and don't have cable at home, and this pulled in all of the regular over the air stations we'd usually get, and then some (although I don't speak spanish, so I deleted a few of those, but there's...

ATI HDTV Wonder for $149 at NewEgg after MIR

If you're getting a native HDTV signal over the air with good reception, the picture should be amazing, nothing like grainy video from a regular tv tuner. However, if you switch over to plain cable/non-hd stuff, quality will go back to what you're used to with other tuners. While this tuner...
