you cant exactly upgrade these SLIM tower designs can you?
i wasn't able to find a similiar deal on the 400 model or the normal 200...
like rossman said great deal for the average user but the door might be closed when it comes down to upgrading.

Have an installer come out first and make sure you won't have problems with the satellite equipment. We have Dish and the sat is on our roof...very small and hidden. Tried to switch to Direct and theirs is much larger...cannot go on roof. Also, because of trees they wanted to put it in the front yard...yeah right! Also, for HD they needed site lines to 5 satellites...again needed front yard. But they do havae the most HD channels. May have to cut some trees...lol. Good luck!
do i just call and they come out for free? I have a direct TV or DISH network dish in the rear. I've looked on my block and everyone has sats pointing toward the rear of my house. Some have them placed on the garage. but I have one mounted on the wall from the previous owner.

So i'm jumping on that choice extra programing
Free install/ delievery
200 channels w/ 3 months of free prem. channels for $35/ 12 months then $55/6 months. 18 month contract. 4 free recievers, $5 extra month per box rental.
I'll be most likely doing this over the phone. So first person to PM with the referral information. I assume promo number code, gets the $50 for us both.
-
dish network... eh... the contract honestly doesn't bother much. I do have the fear of chicago's winter/wind messing things up. Hence i never got a dish of any sort. But it seems like $10 more and we have a LOT more selection. I'll have to look up Dish network and compare. I always thought dish network and direct-TV are the same people in the long run.
-
i just looked it up.. i'll be tagged with a 18 month agreement. Free dish, I can get ONE free DVR but then again i think i would need to sign up for service to be able to use it. They are also giving all the movie channels free for the first 3 months.
So i mean it seems loaded or somewhat loaded. X-mas is nearing so i figure there would be more offers now then any other time.

Well talked it over with parents are we all decided to get directv. We have basic digital cable with no premium channels thru comcast and are paying about 45$. Directv seems to have a $20 off for 12 months promo going on now and their normal price for tv is 54.99 and then it seems like starz is a good movie channel to add on.. either that or HBO for $12.99 and box leasing fees are $15 for 3 extra boxes.
all in all its about $75 bucks without the 20$ per month promo which is good in my eyes due to the fact that we are paying $45 bucks now for next to nothing. We dont have any HD-TV's or any real need for DVRs. Now are they any more hidden promo's on can ask for. I've heard they give you switching promos when you drop comcast and go dish or was that fliped around.
i was thinking maybe some type of speical discount like i know DSL thru bestbuy you get a $150 GC if you buy a PC. something like those things might come in handy.

when i work as a tech at a VW dealership. Car came in with geico insurnace. She told me her story about how she got hit at the passenger side front/ mid area and well the impact was strong enough to bunch her slightly off the curb on the driver side. While i quoted up the doors and everything she also told me if i can confirm that everything is in PERFECT shape under the car wise as it was only 1.5 years old and she had 2 kids, full time mom. I quoted up the doors and sent it over to the body shop for their quote. Then i drove it, while there was no frame damage what so ever there was a bend in the rear axle and at higher speeds it would wobble. I put it on the alignment machine and it was within the specs but it was within the max allowable specs on one side and the opposite on the other side. The geico guy deny my claim on the rear axle beam and told me according the machine everything is aligned and well left her high and dry. $3000 for everything done out of her own pocket. I was rather pissed at them. But every company and every guy is different.

i just got the email from CC about the camera. it comes in pink so i think thats a plus. i didn't see a memory card. i saw $45 get 1gb and pouch. can you link me? to where it exactly says free card.
-
mainly point and shoot. $100-125 area. specs are not really cared for. just a fairly sized screen now a days. 2.2 -2.6 would be ideal. i missed out on a fujiflim and but now i have cash in hand/ on card to buy it instantly./

Trying to keep within a budget of $350-400. I would like to get 2-4 gifts. She is a college student. I recently bought her a MDA and then a blackberry.
Main gift i was looking at would be mp3/video player. there are a lot out buti would like 200-250 on this. She wants to hang in with her college friend crowds. Other gifts i'm thinking a nice lotion package from bath and beyond but aside from that i dont know what to get. Some small careing gift would be ideal. The mp3 gift is what she wants but its too of a generic gift for me. I've made on own gifts in the past and i think i'm done with that.
-
Core Duo i think its just the name of the processor, like centrino and stuff. single core looks like it to me. But i'm not 100% just about 80%

i love best buy's deal but i hate the setups that they make you do in order to pay. they wrapp around the store making a huge circle and its rather annoying, because its mainly blocked off, so ppl cant cut in but you cant pick up other items while in line either. this is at my local store
-
thanks Ross. saves me about $10, too bad i can't use it online. Must get to a local staples =)
wait.. it says in-store only in the fine print and i need to get it delivered here since its too much for myself to carry alone.
-
I'm looking to pick up this table from staples.
I know it was recently on sale for $50, i thought it was a regular price and put it off untill Sunday and then i found out it was a sale. Any type of coupon would be greatly appericated.
-
oh man i'ma try and see if i can grab it locally. i love the tuxedo one. Thanks.
-
hm.. who is this Chris person? and how may i contact him.
I'm just looking for a white/blue/black. combo. mainly stripes or something of that nature. just a simple guy type of set. Nothing crazy. But $129 was overpriced at walmart.
-
I've been looking around for some decent bed sets. I went to walmart and saw some of there "bed in a bag" but they were in the 120 ranges.
I'm looking to get a super super complete set w/ bed skirts but will consider just basic sets too. there must be places i'm not thinking of.

best deals with cell phones... hm..amazon.com/ buy.com come to mind. with a new activation thats about the only way you are able to save some money.
are you set on cingular or whats the deal with that. I know Tmobile phones thru amazon/compusa are pretty dirt cheap with new activations. I dont know the type of user you are to suggest phones. A lot of ppl refer to "nice phones" in diffrent ways. Features? bluetooth. mp3? overall looks. smartphone stuff. flip phone.
I personally got myself a family plan with 3 phones. Overall i paid $50 after rebates for all 3 phones thru online deals. I got a moto razr, samsung t809 and a tmobile SDA for myself. i dont remember my plan but i think its 69$ a month plus $9 for the 3rd line. 700 mins, free nights/ weekends/ mobile 2 mobile. reception is based on your area as well. I was in the dell's not too long ago my tmobile service there wasn't too strong. But its solid here in detroit and Chicago.
-
holy.. grr why did i miss that. i was waiting for that 40% off 999 to pick up my e510.
anyone have a clue how much % did they take off ?
-
Those are the Michigan City outlets... not bad. They have some nicer stores there, IIRC. My friend goes there especially to buy shoes :)
Joanne
sounds right. i driven past there on my way to chicago countless times. i am going to see how this birch run outlet is.
-
i had no idea there was on in MI, i've been to the one in Indiana, i forget where but near the I-94. Looks like i have a place to visit on the weekends.
-
i would consider the x-530 as well. reason why i was looking at 2.1's because this is just on a small simple table, not a fancy computer desk. My laptop is on my coffee table along with the printer. So a 2.1 would consume a smaller amount of space. but i would consider 530's as well.
Bestbuy's setup is normally gay. They never have it setup the right way. and if they are working the audio is just weird. Like those bestbuy commericals so i have no reference to how its orginally suppose to sound. I just feel its rather pointless. Plus like you said these are entry level stuff. They normally show only the 5.1 stuff or the bose stuff.

Do you have to have speakers?
What about using a decent set of headphones?
I have a set of headphones for my gaming needs. But i want to watch movies on my laptop with people as well. Thats why i mainly need headphones.
I really like that X3 stuff. But are the x-230 i picked out decent? I'm currently watch an ebay auction for a very nice and low price as of now.
-
thanks i just picked up the USB sound card.
I'm still iffy about the speakers. I don't really know what to really target with $55shipped . Generally i was looking for a recommendation here. I generally just watch movies on my laptop that is all.
i found logitech's X-230 to be 35$ at zzf.com, are they worth it?
