Work address + different CC = new customer.

Maybe request a deal in the Overtock thread. http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=77041 Currently $49.21 at Overstock, catalog #2509433.

I just saw someone on Anandtech selling their set for $30 shipped. I think it was yesterday, if you'll go used, I'll search for the thread.

Wow, that HP is a nice deal. Tempting....

No, as far as I know there is no cover for the plug, it just retracts.

The Sandisk Cruzer Micro U3 and Titianum have a slide for the USB plug, so there is no cap. I haven't found any great deals on them, yet, though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820171120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820171116 What are your old drives? I have some extra caps from drive that I've had and if you wanted them, it would probably make it easier to sell them if you were looking to consolidate to one drive.

It's only 3mm thicker than a Razr. For some reason by looking at the phones, that's hard to believe. I'm guessing it will come out in the $100 - $150 range on new contracts.

I'm pretty sure she already got a Moto E815.

Thanks, I'll have to stop on the way home.

Get him the Creative Zen Vision:M. Yeah, it's a bias, but it's a much more capable player and the only thing you "lose" is integration with iTunes. As for the iPod, I'd wait to see what Apple does. They haven't released a new full-sized player since last fall, so there could be something in the works for this holiday season.

Ours is, too. We've got a Tinkerbell topper and a few of the Disney ornament sets (Peter Pan, Incredibles, Toy Story).

I've also read a lot of good things about the LG VX8300. Check out the Verizon Phones forum at howardforums.com.

Are you looking for a new phone with a new contract? The best phone for excellent reception is the Motorola E815, and it's -$150AR at Amazon.com right now. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/13443341/ref=w_hp_ln_15/104-6061906-6624709

Look at the PS2 Bundles at Overtock.com. Post in the Overstock deals thread in the online deals to see if Chris can lower the price for you.

If you are headed in-store, there's a 12% Customer Appreciation coupon available. http://www.staplescentral.com/customerAppreciation/customerappreciation.htm

Yes, but it's OOS.

I went for it. My other one can't even handle thin CC ads, which I don't want to take the time to open up before I shred them. This should save me a lot of time and frustration.

The 12-sheet does. I'm thinking of getting that one to replace I the one I have. It's a 7-sheet and the auto-on sensor doesn't work anymore. It's either on or off, so you have to use the switch all the time.

No, I'm sticking with Linksys, I think. I'll pick a used WRT54G v2-4 or a WRT54GL.

You're right. I was thinking of having a 4th for a hot-spare, so you can have immediate replacement of the bad drive, but I doubt that box supports that. I've had my coffee...starting to wake up. :)

I guess I have a couple of questions. How much space do you currently need to accommodate with the NAS? Do you plan on adding another in the near future? I'm assuming that's a RAID 5 configuration you're talking about. With the 4th drive, you have better redundancy and can have up to 2 drives fail and still be able to recover your data. Yes, I've done it...not a treat, but it can be done. For $60 more you are gaining 140GB of useable space. That's appoximately a 160GB drive (close to 150, but those aren't that common). The cost of a 160Gb is around $60, so you aren't overpaying for the extra space. In the long-run, I'd imagine that the extra 210GB of space would come in handy.

320GB is back up to $99 today. Scott- Got a link to that NAS box? edit: - nm, saw it above.

I paid $82 for it. I'm still considering using it for a backup drive for my files on my home machine, just haven't gotten it there. Of course, I'm willing to sell if anyone is interested, since it's just collecting dust right now. If you want SATA in your machine, get an SATA controller card. They are pretty cheap, AFAIK.

It shows the v1.2 on the label...upper right of the pic.
