The stanard WinTV-PVR150 cards are basically the same as this model - just with one tuner (and FM, IIRC). All WinTV cards: http://hauppauge.com/Pages/prods_pvrs.html Note the differences between the regular and MCE versions. If you are going to use MCE, then stick with the MCE versions, otherwise you might want to go with the "regular" versions since they come with remote and more software.

Of course if you have the slots available, it's a little cheaper to use 2 separate cards (WinMCE2005 supports up to 3), but if you are using a microATX case with limited PCI slots, this is the perfect option.

Keep in mind that the picture is a little misleading - this case is pretty big for a desktop case. Being that it fits full-size ATX motherboards, full height PCI cards, etc... If you want something for an HTPC, look at the Antec Minuet which is for microATX boards and only fits half-height PCI/AGP cards, which could be a deal-breaker for some.

I thought you guys would like it, lol. It was around $102 a few days ago, so it was nice to see it dropped another $5.

Yep, that's how they are supposed to be worn. I had the old MDR-EX70LP versions that came out a few years ago. Great headphones for the money.

Yes, we have applied to be affiliates for all the big travel sites in anticipation of the future "travel deals" board on this forum.

Travelocity.com Beach Vacation Sale: $50 off 3+ night vacation to Mexico, Hawaii or Caribbean. "Grab your boogie board and make sure the little tykes have their inflatable water wings. When you book Flight + Hotel together, you can reach the beach for less. Plus, if you book before April 15, we'll give you an additional $50 off, so you can go ahead and make sandcastles until the sun comes down, dig a hole to China, or just groove to the sounds of the seabirds and waves."

The Brother site says: "Power Source: AC 120V 50/60 Hz"

Another possible option: 1) Sign up for Amazon Prime for $79 2) Order the Princeton 19" LCD for $298 AR 3) Pay the $3.99 for next-day air shipping In the end it costs you about $49 more out-of-pocket, but then you have the Amazon prime membership for the rest of the year. So you are basically paying the same as Buy.com for the LCD and getting the Amazon Prime membership at $30 off. Probably not worth it unless you/your client (whoever is going to be ordering) orders a lot from Amazon during the year.

Do they have 2nd day air? Don't know if they guarantee Friday delivery at this time of day though.

http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=6852 Don't know what next-day shipping would be though...

Nope. Newegg does not have an affiliate program of any kind. I think the feeling at Newegg is that they get so much free "advertising" on all the tech forums everywhere that they don't need to pay sites to get people to buy from them. They are the de-facto recommended site for a lot of stuff, so it makes sense for them I guess. Plus if they paid commission they'd probably have to raise their prices. Although we do get a few cents if you go through our Pricegrabber partner site and then click through to Newegg, whether you buy something or not. It's a hassle for people to do that, so we don't really bother mentioning it. If you notice, when I post a Newegg deal on the main site, I usually link to the Pricegrabber listing instead of directly to Newegg.

Yep, I've used the Ritek/Ridata with no problems. Both R and RW formats.

Pretty much the same price when you factor in Newegg's shipping. Newegg - 100 for $31.49 shipped after $12 rebate Amazon - 100 for $31.48 shipped after $16 rebate (max 2 $8 rebates) Of course if you order from Amazon, the out-of-pocket cost is $4 more, but you are helping support the site since we get commission from Amazon (but not Newegg)

yep

I think that we should have more than a days worth on the home page. The descriptions will all be short because we are getting rid of the big paragraph of background info with each item for several reasons. That is still being considered. Nothing about the layout and organization will really change too much. All the old links will work. Everything will pretty much be where it is now. The best way for our members to post deals is to post them here on the forum. Assuming they are "hot enough", we can quickly find an appropriate image and post them on the main site. We've done this several times and give credit to the person who posted it. That's one of the main reasons we have this forum. Thank you for them all :)

Don't forget the free t-shirt as well

I still don't think we need a full-fledged FS/FT forum at this point. I see no reason why anyone can't just post in the lounge (or in the future tech/computers forum) listing what they have and their references. If it gets to the point where we have so many threads that it clutters up those forums, then we can have a dedicated board, but I don't think it's needed right now. If the concern is about not letting every newcomer buy or sell, maybe we can look into ways to prevent abuse. Anyone else have any thoughts one way or another on having a dedicated FS/FT board?

The compact router dropped to $63.64 today (from $67 yesterday): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007MGG2M

I think 3 days worth of deals would be a good amount. That way if someone doesn't check in over the weekend, when they come to the site Monday they'll see the deals from Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Then you'll be able to go to the previous 3 days on the next page, then 3 more days back, etc...
