Shows mine as canceled, too. Gonna wait a few hours to see what everyone on slickdeals.net is doing, then give Dell a call.

Hopefully they honor the sales; I'll have two coming.

The model number of the box and the drive don't match. The box has the part number ST3160812AS-RK. (RK: Retail Kit) The drive has the part number ST3160811AS. Visit http://www.seagate.com/products/details/0,,4,00.html to see Seagate's listing of the part numbers as different drives...

Bought two, in-store. Different addresses and payment methods. They look to be 7200.9 drives. Using different addresses and payment methods, I bought two HDs in-store. Both forms filled out quick and easy with their online system (erebates.compusa.com). Time to setup a Matrix Raid on my p5b-e.

Overclocked E1705 (7900GS) Results

I spent 1500 on a e1705, (extra battery and media center with remote - could shave $150 off) and my 3DMark05 is just over 8000, with a 1.83 duo, slightly OC'd video card, and 1.25gb of RAM. E1705 w/ 7900GS is the way to go for a gamer on a budget.

Just over 3 years. Win2k, did nothing but play Everquest on it. Then the age of spyware came around, and I had to abandon ship.

Should we store it in the frige, too?

You can order an e1705 for 1500+ with a 7900GS, but you'll need to upgrade the memory (go for 512MB, then buy aftermarket).

I have a Dell E1705 with 512MB of RAM and T2400. I have a $100 coupon for Dell.com, and the only thing worthwhile for me to buy is memory. Here is the link I want DDR2-667MHz so I don't block my upgrade path to Merom. Will I have any problem with buying this stick from Dell, and a...

A 1920x1200 resolution LCD is an option for 1705's, so it will run it just fine. It does have a DVI out.

Go integrated to save battery life, if you don't plan on gaming. If you plan on gaming, get the 7900GS. If you're using it for CAD, 3d rendering, etc., I don't know if the x1400 is enough I'd also suggest a 2 year warranty, perhaps with complete care, if you plan on keeping it...

Thanks. My 1705 w/ 7900GS should be here in a few days. I'll let you know how everything works.

Words of advice if you buy a Dell: Get at least a two year warranty. Check Dell Home and Office for the Inspiron series. They'll have some options under a grand. If you're really going for battery life, remember that larger screens (17") shorten it very much. I've heard numbers of around...

I have a Targus Citygear Chicago. It fits my 17" Dell e1705 very snugly, and has plenty of room left over (calc, 1000p philosophy, and history books). CircuitCity did have them for $35 on sale, I'm not sure if they still do. Link...

I got stiffed on my eVGA rebate also. CC portion went through fine. "Invalid UPC number" Bullshit. I'll follow up if I get my rebate. EDIT: A Post from Anandtech. (linked above) I'm going to follow this route.

Willed ignorance? They also cost $65 more than entry level models that work perfect.

Everything is sold. Locked.

Get the VX2025, spend only $350, and game happy. I have one and I love it. WS monitors are a big thing now. There's support for almost all games now.

What's the expected price on this guy? I don't see it anywhere in the article.

I still have the s754 (the EPoX) board. The A8N (s939) board is sold.

troisanh, thanks for the tip. Post is editted to reflect. I can ship only to the US. It was my oversight for not mentioning it.

G. Skill DDR 500 with UCCC chips. This stuff is awesome. Best 2GB kit you can buy at a reasonable price. Just read the reviews on it, and can even check the forums. Everyone is going crazy about it. I used these in my EPoX socket 754 board. Worked at 250Mhz 3-4-4-8 (stock) but I never...

Mine's been charged since the 19th! 12 days now. I'll not (even attempt to) do business with them again out of principle. I'll just sit tight and save for a Conroe now.

I ordered my 146 11 days ago (on the 19th) and still no goodies. I paid extra for two day shipping. They didn't issue a tracking number either. They said they were having "software problems." Emailing them and using their online forms are futile. Save yourself the keystrokes. I...

My 146 shipped early this morning. Disappointingly, they didn't issue a tracking number. I'll it explain it slower. With a lower coupon amount, they'll get less orders, giving them a chance to catch up. You're forgetting the gray area (fallacy of the excluded middle). There are more...

I think the coupon amounts were lowered to discourage sales because they are having distribution problems.

I ordered a 146 on the 19th (friday), and still hasn't shipped yet. How long should I expect to wait?

I wish that you were joking.

If you plan on using the macros / LCD, then get the only keyboard on the market with those features - the G15. My only issue with it is that it's big. I've had to find a new home for my mouse, because my slide-out keyboard draw is dominated by the G15.

Specs of the PC: CPU: Not sure -- X2 3800+ or 165 Opteron, maybe a cheap single core to hold me over till this winter. Too bad I missed the $110 144's... Board: __________ Cooling: I currently have a lapped, 4 heatpipe, HSF from an Opteron w/ a 45cfm Panaflo 80mm. Probably go with...

Just because they offer the degree doesn't mean employers are looking for people who have it. Game companies hire real programmers. The colleges offer it simply because people want to "major" in it. Employer demand is non-existant. Keep in mind the gaming industry is the lowest paying...

You can refuse the package from UPS/Fedex for the 3000+, if you want to pick up the Opteron.
