Nautical

I have heard because the FTC now requires retail chains to be responsible if customers don't get manufacturer rebates, best buy is trying to phase out such rebates. This years horrible sales may be the beginning...

The best ones are usually 8K (way too much for me). Most people get the middle range CRT's which are around 1K-3K. Then theres the lower end 7" ES sets that you can get very very cheap now. $450 with a DIY screen (usually the best for crt) is very feasible. If you're really interested email me and I'll help you out some. Ill PM you my email... Yea I would assume it to be the SATA original, but that would be awesome if it were the 3.0GB/s one.

DLP projectors suck compared to other kinds...have fun seeing rainbows. You can get so much better for $500... (im so ready for 800 people disagreeing with this but whatever... I have seen both DLP and CRT and there is only one winner) And you can definitly get a smaller screen. Try making one using black-out fabric or you can use special paint on your wall. This way, you can make it any size you want and its 10x cheaper. Quality is much the same. Compusa has a really nice hard drive. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?&ref=cj&pfp=cj&product_code=333245 160GB Sata 19.99. I can't seem to dig much info up on this...is this regular sata or is it the new drive with SATA 3.0GB/s?

Those computers are so junky though. You could build one yourself, spend like 200bucks more and get a computer thats 50% faster...i mean they only have 256mb of ram, thats pathetic. That was a little bit of ram 2 years ago...

What? WHERE!

I don't know about you all, but I am VERY disappointed with the ads from best buy this year. There really isn't much unless you're looking for a new computer, laptop, or TV. The hardware just totally sucks. The hard drive this year is worse than last! 120GB this year, but 160gb last year . All the memory, dvd players, and other computer hardware can be gotten from newegg.com for the same price or even cheaper. The LCD monitors this year aren't very good as well. Just like no-name brands with horrible specs (afaik from just glancing). Last year they had the samsung 712n which was 12ms for $250 which was very good. I think I'll be going to compusa or circuit city. Compusa has a 500w antec PSU for 50$, antec lanboy for 30$, antec P180 99$, 200GB $30, and various other hardware, unlike bestbuy. Does anyone else agree with me?
