    Pep Boys Brake Pads

    I was just in PB yesterday, and for the SECOND time, the schmuck behind the counter tried to sell me the wrong pads (didn't have the correct ones- a '90-'91 CRX Si uses different pads than the DX model). But Autozone had the right ones, and I'll be buying from them in the future, too. Morons!

    Western Digital 500 GB HD--> $94 Free Shipping! @ Newegg

    9.75% tax? Not for those of us in "Fly-Over Country". Sales tax? Whazzdat? The "no sales tax states": Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon. And NH has no state income tax, either. (Live Free or Die, Baby!) Snicker! :rolleyes:

    Effing "Store Locator" the link sends you to doesn't work. Input a city or zip and it asks for Latitude and Longitude. D-oh! :rolleyes:

    Newegg / [H]ardOCP AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Black Edition Drawing

    1. I'll finally retire my old websurfing machine- an overclocked 1700XP (2.4GHz) and go for the gusto with a new AM2-based system, using the X2 5000+BE as the starting point. I hear someone got theirs cranked up to 4Ghz. I love a challenge..... :D 2. Phenom

    interesting story about rebate-processing at mfr (via Consumerist)

    I just received a letter from Trendnet (maker of wireless routers and receivers). I have about 5 rebates in-process for stuff I bought at CompUSA. In the letter, Trendnet "claims" that I forgot to send-in the UPC code(s). But I had it taped to the submittal form on ALL submissions...

    HEC Orion 585W ATX Power Supply $14.99

    Hmmmm, I wouldn't say it was noisy, compared to either of the other two PSU's in the room. It has two 80mm fans. Reading off the box, it says it uses Smart Fan Control to keep the sound under 22dBa, and the power efficiency is >75%. Here's the HEC data page...

    Seagate 7200.10 drives- hot stuff?

    I just purchased and installed a brandnew Maxtor (cough, cough... SEAGATE) hard drive that I received from Fry's/Outpost. Though branded a Maxtor, it was definitely a Seagate ST3500630AS DiamondMax 21, Series 3.5, 7200.10 (only difference is "STM" instead of "ST" in the ID string). What is...
