Over the years, I've never purchased a single thing from Tigerdirect etc. I've just never found them having a competitive price on any single item (taking shipping into account).

I'm currently trying to make the same decision. Dell has the Q9550 for $209 right now: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1411855

Two new pairs of trousers!

Please forgive me if this is a totally stupid question, but I'm paranoid that I'll fry my new computer before I get to use it for the first time. I spray painted the entire interior of my computer case with Rustoleum black. I also spray painted all of the back of the case, so no bare metal is...

:( I liked the frog. Never got a chance to buy one of their cards, though.

I've been waiting so long for a CPU deal. Thanks OP, I really hope this comes through!

Awesome, thanks!

Darnit for some reason I wasn't getting e-mail notifications for this thread. The case is not aluminum, so I guess it's just steel. Should I assume that the metal on the inside has some coat on it already, or is it bare? Can washing be done with plain old isopropyl alcohol (so it dries...

I'll try to find some of that paint. Are there any dangers of flaking paint / ESD?

I think that you have to submit the rebate within two weeks, or something close to that. Don't miss the deadline.

Well, I've purchased a case with a window, and the flat gray of the hard drive cage and mobo tray just doesn't do it for me. I'd like to paint the interior black as easily and cheaply as I can, but I've got a couple concerns. 1) Do I have to look for a certain kind of spray paint? Could the...

I hope I get one with the computer case I ordered today. Probably not cause they'll likely ship it in the original box. :(

If you don't mind a rebate, I've heard nothing but good about the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R / GA-EP45-UD3R. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128359

I have a question about the pixel mapping. It can do it without stretching in either direction? So lets say you do 1024 x 768. There are black bars on all 4 sides, not just two sides and stretched? I can't decide if I should return the HP w2207h I got for $200 and wait for a deal on this LG.

I am so tempted to buy this. For the last year I've been stuck with the very same computer (Dimension 8200), but with only 256MB ram :(. I'll be upgrading soon though, so I'll let someone else snag it. This RAM used to be ridiculously expensive. Anyways, a bump for you.
