Athena AS-F1 floorstanding speaker. $199 a pair, normally $299 a pair at Best Buy. great reviews for this low cost speaker.

Another "in-store only" deal.
 
athena's are now 99.99 each ont he website. I picked up 3 of these for my front stage in my theatre room. So far so good. they sound exceptional considering the 3 cost about as much as a single at most stores.

hehe that last link you posted is the easy DIY lirc receiver posted in the sticky. you can see he used phone cord for the 6 ft cable (i used a usb cable, and cut the ends off), and heat shrink tubing at the end where the IR eye is :D

mine looks EXACTLY like this
 
Ooh, these last two deals are great.

I just bought the MCX462-V, and I'll be off to OD this afternoon.
 
The new Sapphire Theatrix 550 is available at newegg now for $82 shipped. Seems like a good price for those looking to check out this card. The one review there says the picture looks pretty good.

[H] forum member Nightanole shares some knowledgeable experience with that cable here. Apparently they are decent, not perfect of course but who expected perfect anyway.

On a related note, pay heed to his suggestion here:

your best bet, if you care, is to get 3 of there RCA brand monster cable singles for like $7-10 each. Yes they are monster cable, so full price sucks, but a component set of these at best buy would run you about $90 :eek:

He's talking about "RCA" rebranded Monster cable singles. Parts express carries them about once a month but i guess they sell out quickly or something.
I'm keeping my eyes peeled and i'll be sure to post them in this forum when they appear.
 
How this? Chaintech 6200 AGP for $125 with free second day shipping

I think it might be a good card for those looking for 5700U level stuff and it does some PureVideo as well although Chaintech isn't too clear on whether or not it includes the Component adapter, they've never really included it in any product yet but I think you can use an adapter from any other 62/6600 card with it.
NV44 (6200 PCI-E)
PureVideo DVD/MPEG2 Video Quality Improvement: Partial
PureVideo WMV Video Quality Improvement: Partial
DVD/MPEG2 Hardware Acceleration: Limited (720p max)

well fuck-around, that one is sold out. You guys keep an eye out for a good card for me. Looking for something to go with my 52" HDTV. Not too spendy, but better than my 9600.

Would make for a great HTPC cooler.
 
Can anybody use this USB IR reciever ? They were ripped out of Gateway Media center pc's. Only $3.99 + s/h: http://www.pcliquidator.com/detailproduct.asp?which=1518
Looks pretty well made, has a 13 foot cord and ferrites on both ends.

Check out the whole site for some rare hard to find items.

Edit: Meant to say that Nvidia 6200 video card above looks real nice. Does anyone think that its better than a ti4200 for displaying video via the DVI port? Or is all its "special" video capability limited to its tv-out port? TIA
 
$4, I might try it. it says it sends and recieves. any ideas about how to program it? I need to have 3 IR senders for my Direct TV boxes. $12 is better than 50 for one USB-UIRT

It should be similar to a 5700 card (NOT LE/SE/El cheap 'o) without the crappy DX9 performance and limited support for PureVideo. If I can find a buyer for my 5700U (and a place that has a 6200 in stock) I'd love to pick one up and give it a try (although I have no DVI TV) but it carries the same junk as the 6600 just "smaller" I guess you would say.

No idea how to program it, but i am wondering if it'll work with XP. The price is tempting but i'd like to get more information first, hmm
