I need to find a freebie or a slickdeal on a calling card. I don't really feel like driving to the store right now, but will if theres a nice deal going on somewhere. I prefer to order one online if I can.

I am in need of big buxs. Who feels like giving a helping hand.

Make sure you click on that button at the last page...otherwise you won't get your free gift after you complete the survey. I almost closed out the window thinking that was it. Those sneaky bastards.

Pedigree was giving away a free calendar, I signed up for it a few weeks ago and still havn't received it. Not sure if I'm going to be receiving it not since a bunch of people snagged up on it as well. I got a free Kraft 2004 calendar before.

I bought one off of eBay a while ago, I payed a lil over $100 for one. It's got a built in FM Modulator, so I can listen to it while I'm in the car. The sound quality ain't too bad. I won't lie, this thing seems bulky and it's not very pretty to look at. But you can't beat the price, even the new ones are nicely priced.

I think I just missed it though because I had both coupons entered and placed my contact info/credit card number...everything. When I hit sumbit though, I kept getting an error. I always miss the hot deals. I even tried placing the order by phone, I didn't get anywhere. They told me Dell only accepted one coupon at a time. Took me like 10mins to find that out too, hard to communicate with these overseas people.
-
Saying that the coupon was already redeemed. Not good, not good at all. I might have to try calling them after all to see if they can give it too me.
Anyone getting this work? Maybe it's just me. I don't know, I hope I didn't just miss the deal of the century.
-
NOOO! Says error when I sumbit.
Going to try using internet explorer instead of firefox. Damn it. This better work.

-edit-
****THIS DEAL IS DEAD. I ALMOST GOT THE COUPON TO GO TOO***
Sorry folks...
-edit-
I can't take credit in this. I stole this from s****deals.net. Seems hot. Didn't see this posted on here, but if it is...sorry.
Dell Home has a stackable $25 off $325 electronics & accessories coupon code 2XJ93FTTP2LJ96 Expires after 1500 uses.
Stack the coupon with a Dellf coupon (25% off PC Accessories or 25% off LCD) to get the best deals. The Dellf coupon thread might have some coupons posted by users. Thanks TheSfactor.
* Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 Speakers $237

* Dell 2005FPW 20" LCD Monitor $574
* Dell 2001FP 20" LCD Monitor $574
* Dell 1905FP 19" LCD Monitor $446
What's cool is that I was holding off on getting the 17" Dell LCD. Now I think I will jump on this before the coupon expires after 1500 uses, which will be quick I'm sure.
OH, and please don't call DELL to see if this is legit. Some idiot broke the rule about not calling.
I hope they don't cancel all orders.The taxes for, Dell 1703FP 17" LCD Monitor $274, incase your wondering is:
Tax $19.20
Total Price $293.45
Least here in Florida it is, those of you who don't have to pay taxes online at DELL I envy!
...about to sumbit my order <crossing fingers>

Trust me. You'll be fine with OEM. I bought a few OEM items before and they worked just like the retail items I purchased in the past. And hey, they're all covered with warrany just like retail. So incase something does go wrong you'll be covered.
Sounds like you had some troubles in the past with a harddrive.
-
I don't believe that OEM drives are refurbished/used. They are brand new just like the retail ones. The only thing that differs from the retail, is the pretty box, the cable, and the screws.
Then again I could be wrong, but I never heard of this before.
I always go with OEM if I can save money. Newegg.com has never let me down.
-
What's wrong with oem?
Sure you don't get the pretty box, the cable, and the screws...but come on, do you really need that?

What is the policy for dead pixels for LCD monitors at Dell? I hope I don't get any, that would drive me bonkers.
-edit-
Does Dell not give that information out? I found this useful site at http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20030319/lcd_pixels-02.html tells you the dead pixel policy for all the major brand companies
-edit-
Alright, I'm going to head out. Thanks for all the helpful info guys. You've been a help. Hope you had a good Holiday. Later.

Here are some reviews I've found.
Monitor doesn't really have too many negative points. Only probably that I see is that it's a tad bit too bright and some of the colors appear to be washed out. I'm not an artist in Photoshop, so the precise colors don't have to be a big plus. Sounds like a good monitor from what I read. If you still have the coupon, I'll take it.
I don't mind getting a CRT monitor though, noticed DELL has a few of those on their website. Would you guys recommend getting that instead of the LCD? The amount of space that the CRT will take doesn't really matter. I got a pretty good sized desk for it.

7.7 stars out of 10 {GOOD}
Dell packs a lot into the highly adjustable, 17-inch 1703FP and decorates it with a reasonable $500 price tag (it's also included with Dell's OptiPlex SX270 desktop system). Displaying at 1,280x1,024 resolution, the screen gives you a full view of text documents and does justice to color graphics. Except for a few minor missteps, this is one of the better pivot displays we have come across--a solid choice for home and office users alike.
The 1703FP's design is both discreetly stylish and convenient. Its black, cylindrical neck rests securely on an 11-inch-wide, silver semicircle, and it telescopes to give the display an additional 4 inches of height. The panel tilts forward and backward, swivels about 90 degrees left to right, and pivots between Landscape and Portrait modes. The 1703FP accepts analog and DVI signals (both cables are included) and has four USB ports on the panel, two on its left side and two in back. For an additional $39, you can help get the party started with Dell's Sound Bar--stereo speakers that snap onto the bottom edge of the bezel (in Landscape mode). Three small, silver buttons control the 1703FP's onscreen menus. When connected to two PCs, one of the buttons toggles between them.
We used the DVI signal to test the 1703FP and found that colors skewed very slightly from their proper hues at high brightness and saturation levels, a problem that shouldn't bother anyone except picky graphic artists. The panel accurately differentiates between close shades at the light and dark ends of the grayscale, and it draws crisp, sharp text. Connecting via the analog cable did not degrade image quality significantly.
Our beefs with the 1703FP are minor. The edge with two USB ports becomes the top in Portrait mode, so cords may dangle from on high (a plastic ring on the back of the neck helps corral cables). Also, if you attach the Sound Bar, the stereo speakers end up on one side in Portrait mode. Dell failed to include pivot software; you have to go into Windows' Display Control Panel to change modes. Philips's 170W4P, on the other hand, includes Portrait Displays' handy PivotPro.
Dell covers the 1703FP with a three-year warranty; the company sends out a temporary replacement when you call in a repair order, but you'll have to pay to ship your unit to Dell. The company does not have an explicit dead-pixel policy--issues are handled on a case-by-case basis. Lifetime tech support is available 24/7 on a toll-free line.
User Reviews:
------------------------------
"Great value, colors washed out a bit"
Pros: slick design, rotates easily, DVI and analog.
Cons: very bright - so much so that some colors, esp. greens, get washed out. Required tinkering with the video card gamma correction to get it close. Don't expect to do photo work with this one, but very capable otherwise.
----------------------------------
Thumbs Up "This is great!"
Pros: Great quality, value, and even looks nice. I like the built-in USB 2,0 hub, and the DVI support. No dead pixels!
Cons: none
---------------------
Thumbs Up "This monitor is outstanding!"
Pros: I love this monitor! The picture is so crisp and clear. You cant go wrong on this

Not bad...not bad at all. Anyone know if Dell will be having a special discount for tomororw? I think I might have to break down and get this. Will the coupon still be good for tomorrow, if so I'll take it.
I'm gonna try to find a review for these monitors. If they're good I just might have to buy one.

Hello Peter....what's happening?Did you get the memo about the new TPS report?
Thanks for the tip. I checked out eBay for the monitor, found some O.K. prices. But I don' t think I can afford $300+ price tag for the 1800FP LCD monitor. Althought it does look very tempting to use my plastic on this baby. I just don't know. I see a bunch of monitors going up for sale for BF, but when I check them out...they don't list too many specs for the monitors. I don't want to grab a monitor that's cheap in quality.
I hope they don't cancel all orders.
Hello Peter....what's happening?
Long Distance (domestic) calling card
in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
Posted
Thanks RossMAN. I'm going to try out the OneSuite.com for now. I'm living with a roommate at the moment, and I don't have the phone under my name. We currently don't have long distance, don't really need to use it thru the phone company since I don't make many that many long distance calls. Calling card will suit me for now. Maybe in the future I'll try out the VOIP.
Before I sign up to OneSuite.com, I notice during the registration process that theres a field to enter a promo code. Would you happen to know any valid promo codes? I googled it, and got a few promo codes. One that caught my eye was 033B06554, supposed to give me 20mins free...but once I enter it in and go to the next page, it doesn't mention anything about the promo code. Probably because the code is old and no longer valid? So I don't know if I want to sumbit my registration in, if I don't know if I'm going to get the promo to work. I wouldn't mind having free 20mins long distance to play with. Do you or anyone else here know of any promo codes that do work? Help a poor man out, I'd appreciate it.
