Cables To Go Port Authority 2 Retractable Cable Kit - $6.99 Shipped AR
Brad replied to Brad's topic in Online Hot Deals
There were 2 rebates: $15: http://ak.Buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/05Q2/0627-0703st_15buyreb.pdf and $10: http://ak.Buy.com/buy_assets/retail/pdfs/05Q2/0620-0831st_10ctg.pdf -
Should've posted yesterday. Buy.com has it for $127.99 + shipping but they had a free shipping coupon that expired last night. It probably would have worked on the case.

Another reason why we are the #1 deal site. Useful and valuable comments like this.

no deal here - just posting a thread to get our charity donation up to an even $180 before midnight ET :) :) :) http://www.gottadeal.com/total.gif

Belkin has had this sale very often. Their MSRP prices are usually so high that by the time you add shipping to the 50%-off price, it's basically what you can get it for at Buy.com, etc... although there are probably still some deals to be had.

That may be true, but keep in mind that we had well over 3,000 people register for the forum last year during BF to read or post on the Black Friday board (which was open to registered members only). If they just wanted the information about that ads, that was on the BF site and didn't require any registration, so that tells us that people like the pre-BF conversation on here as well as the actual ads.

Excellent ideas from everyone. We had been planning on a very fun contest anyway, so we'll see how we can work it to encourage new members to post, while not excluding all of you old timers from participating. As for having them post an "introduce yourself" thread, by the time the BF site opens, we expect to upgrade this forum to vBulletin 3.5 assuming it has gone final by then (they just released the first release candidate (RC) version yesterday). One of the add-ons available for vB is the ability to automatically create a welcome thread (in an "Introductions" subforum or something) for each new user. That could also be an option, although I wonder how many would actually bother to post in those threads unless they are forced to do so before accessing the BF board, which we wouldn't really want to do.

Still taking suggestions... Black Friday is now less than 4 months away.

Just a reminder that this one expires tomorrow at 5:59am CT. With Dell's fiscal quarter ending, it could very well be 3 months before we get another one like this that is good on pretty much any configuration. For those of you like BigNate who want an extremely loaded system, this is the coupon to use - you'll save much more than the $750 off coupons that are usually considered the hottest.

Yep. The 256MB of RAM on the first versions was not good. 512MB is really all you need on a system like this. Because of the relatively slow 1.4GHz G4, any advantage of having more than 512MB is minimal. As a comparison, MacConnection sells the previous 1.42GHz version with the BT and WiFi upgrade for $673 after $40 rebate, and that doesn't even have the extra 256MB of RAM.

Yes, they all still have the Radeon 9200, which works fine on my 2001FP, so I'd think it would be fine on the 2005FPW, but you might want to do a Google search to make sure nobody has any problems with it. The $599 version is very nice, I don't think it's worth the extra $100 for the SuperDrive, and that could be a possibly DIY upgrade down the road.
