If these are "made in japan," this is a good price. I can't read the fine print of the circular online but I think it's 19.99 out the door. I'll be going tomorrow morning to check it out.

Ok, I'll see if she can wait. Yes, I remembered the visa warranty extension. Thanks for bringing it up. -

My sister wants a new desktop for her and the bro-n-law for websurfing, email, etc. They currently have a 10 yr old gateway - - so I know anything will be an improvement. I was looking at dell because their limit is around $500. Here's what I have so far: Dimension 2400 Series Intel® Celeron® Processor (2.40GHz, 400 FSB) Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition FREE Dell Color Printer 720! SAVE $60 (after rebate) 4Yr Ltd Warranty,At-Home Srvc + Nights and Weekend --because they are not pc literate and too far away for me to look at it 512MB DDR SDRAM at 400MHz 40GB Ultra ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive Single Drive: 48X CD-ROM Drive 17 inch E773 (16 inch viewable) Conventional CRT No speakers $498 with free shipping. The emphasis is low cost. I know I could reduce the cost with less ram but I think in the long run it will be worth it and that goes for the 4yr warranty also. I'm wondering if yall think a 2 or 3 yr warranty would suffice? Also, I realize the 20% off and free shipping ends today. Thanks for any advice/ideas/suggestions. :) -
Things do change. I remember buying my 19" syncmaster 955df some years ago for $300 and thinking I had gotten a deal because a few years before I had paid $300 for a 17" nec multisync fe700.

The keyboard is small but it is what I expected and not to hard to type on. The display is SWEET! The new lcd's are so much better than the older ones that I've worked on with older laptops. -

My 700m arrived today. In fact, I'm posting from it sitting on my couch. :) I like it. I will eventually get around to adding another stick of ram but other than that it's great for what I wanted. -

Official "Dude I'm Getting a Dell Laptop" Thread
cthulhu replied to Brad's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
I was getting irritated at dell because my 700m had been in pre-production since last Friday but today it jumped to testing. I hope to get it next week instead of the estimated first week of May. -
Ok, the viewable area on the 17" lcd should be equivalent to a 19" crt right? Also, it's back in stock.
-
WOW! Is this lcd any good? With lcd's is it 17" of viewable screen? For $200 I might just buy it for the wife. It's OOS.

NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive $56 @ NewEgg
cthulhu replied to RossMAN's topic in Online Hot Deals
Try here for some guides on backing up and burning. This is where I go. If your dvd player is listed here you can find out what your dvd player can play. I've used 100's of Ritek/Ridata +R's and have never had a problem. I currently have 300 Fujifilm +R's, actually made by Taiyo Yuden which is considered by many to be one of the best, that I bought at Bestbuy when they were on sale. You can search media here. -
I recommend those panaflow L1a's. They are quiet and move a decent amount of air.

NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive $56 @ NewEgg
cthulhu replied to RossMAN's topic in Online Hot Deals
It really is quite easy to make backups using either software. I could be either the media that was used or your player is just picky. I've never had any problems using dvddecrypter or dvdshrink. -
NEC 16X Double Layer DVD±RW Drive $56 @ NewEgg
cthulhu replied to RossMAN's topic in Online Hot Deals
Dvddecrypter and DVDshrink are both freeware and very good at backing up dvds. I use both and both are great. -
Great find. I've done business with Directon before. I went ahead and got the 45 because their price is great. The DSP line was a little more than I wanted to spend- until you found that price. Thanks sdible.

Thaks RossMAN.
