    Best Buy XP laptop trade-in $100 credit

    I didn't ask, but I bet some locations will, and others won't. Mine was a fresh install, not even updated on a HDD that was probably about shot. Any data they can get off there they are welcome to. The pron I had was nothing spectacular. They did give me my power supply back. Those always...

    Best Buy XP laptop trade-in $100 credit

    Yeah, thanks. Edited the blasted thing about 5 times, and still not sure how long the coupon is actually good for. As I said, best to assume 4/19 since that's the earliest date on the coupon in fine print. A savvy repeat customer could probably get it honored after the expiration date, but...

    Best Buy XP laptop trade-in $100 credit

    Just found out about this on SD. Trade in a working (somewhat anyway) XP laptop and get a $25 gift card (appears to be a normal gift card with no exclusions) and a coupon for $75 off any Apple, W7 or W8 laptop, desktop, or Chromebook. Limit 3 per person, the coupons are NOT stackable, but I...

    Targus universal laptop charger $10 free ship (refurb)

    Seems like whenever I need a laptop brick I can only find these for about $50. Might have to get a couple spares... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834989207

    a netbook instead maybe?

    Sounds like he's trying to keep this VERY cheap, in which case I am a big fan of netbooks. If you're planning on using it like most people use tablets, only you'll have a keyboard interface instead, they are a great option. There are some great deals on them now that tablets are taking their...

    WARM: Insignia LED 1080p $250 at Best Buy

    I'm pretty sure that's the TV my Mom put in her kitchen. It's a really nice set for the money. Matte screen and LED are great for overcoming glare she gets with all the windows. Picture is as good as any of the name brands in that size, including Samsung and Sony which can cost almost $600...

    HP 2311xi @ BestBuy $169 + fs -- 23" IPS

    Had to bite. I've been using a 26" lcd hdtv for my gaming monitor and though it is a 1080p set it's not capable of displaying anything better than 720 in most games. This thing looks amazing! I am not sure if it is just the jump in resolution that I am noticing, or the IPS panel, but...

    Newegg: Cooler Master Storm Trooper - $149.99 FS

    Top is busy and cheap looking, while side and front have clean subtle lines/style. Chop the top flat, and match front and sides better and I'd like it.

    There's still tons of great deals to be had on [H]dd's; you just have to go back to older forum threads.:D

    got me 500gb - $59.99

    Perhaps share in the [H]ot Deals section. GB's are at a premium in the HDD category, and I am sure some guys could use this deal.

    CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144 Didn't see any post on this. Not smokin, but NR, plus FS make this a solid deal. They also have a Maxxtor 120GB rectified for $17 if you need a cheap-o HDD(s) for anything. They are 5400rpm though...

    SSD recommendation?

    I too, was very worried about making the "right" choice. It has been my experience, that all the major manufacturers (even Intel and Samsung) have had some problems, but they also seem to have addressed them very quickly. Make sure you are researching 'current' versions of the drive (including...
