Guest ladakn99 Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 will the items come in seprate boxes and will the cashier ring them up as seprate items. therefore can i tell the cashier forget the monitor and the printer if they apply the rebates to the desktop you know, like last year?

ElizaBrandt06 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The Emachine is the main reason hubby and I are going to go out. The DVD burner, MP3 player, and 100pack of DVDr's are nice too! I want that Emachine badly. My comp i'm on right now has a pentium 2 proccesor and 30 gigs of memory. Gah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdulaney Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I am not a techie...so, do ya'll think this would be a good machine to play games on? Not fancy games, just stuff like Roller Coaster Tycoon type games. Thanks!!! Ginny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mmy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Definetly ok for your run-of-the-mill games. You can upgrade the memory and then share more with the onboard video card as well. For roller coaster tycool, you'll be fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he8765 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Will this be sold online too?That would be nice, but I doubt it. If it is, it will probably be sold out within seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you will have a ticket for it or you won't. You get a ticket, you get a pc, no elbows needed. You don't arrive early enough to be close enough to the front to get a ticket and you won't get the pc. Simple. Of course, if you wait around till noon, there may be a pc or two that weren't picked up by the ticket holder..........then you may have a rush for the remaining ones, but in my experience over the last decade and a half, the el cheapo doorbuster desktops always sell out.

T0mmy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 No, but people have said before that they've returned pieces of it. I'm not sure if that works, just spreading hearsay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mp4 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeah, last year people could take back the monitor to get their computer even cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimslade Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeah, last year people could take back the monitor to get their computer even cheaper.Last year the monitor scanned at a higher price then the CPU to make the total cost of the package. My friend who works for BB said that they are marking down the monitor and upping the price on the CPU so people wont return the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mp4 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Wouldn't it make more sense just to discount them equally? Also this year it includes the cannon printer, returnable maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryper2000 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 if u upgrade the memory, do u think it could pull of games like Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronOnline Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Seems like it would make more sense to mark the monitor down to $1 so noone would take the time to return it. Of course, this would just flood Ebays market for the item. Haha I just figured I would sell my emachine ( 2.0 Ghz, 512 Mb RAM, with a Radeon 9800 Pro AGP, and a 5.1 Sound Blaster) with the flat screen monitor to someone for $200 so it equals nothing for the new pc. Haha Although I might yank the RAM for the new PC and just buy a 256 Mb chips for it instead. Not sure. Although out dated, my PC still runs my video editing software, and games like Half Life 2, Doom 3, and Quake 4 so, along with a brand new 15' LCD, I am sure it is worth $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senpai Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 if u upgrade the memory, do u think it could pull of games like Battlefield 2 or Battlefield 2142you could, but to enjoy it you'd need a new video card too. i'd consider their Compaq desktop for $399 with new video card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetstack Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 ok if you get the ticket items do they have this stuff stored away or do you have to fight the shelf with the rest of them-----rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ticketed items are behind the counters. In most BB the desktops are behind the Geek counter. They will tell you where to go when you get your ticket.

kimbrown27 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ok so this migh be a repeat but here it goes. I went to the BB web site and looked at the flyer for firday and put in my zip code and looked at the flyer for my region, and it does not have the 189.00 emachines computer. So I got to checking arround in other zip codes and for another state next to mine they have it but not in my state they only have the 15.00 gift card for ever 100.00 spent. SO I remember this happened last year that some stores for BB were doing the gift card and others were doing the sales. WATCH out cuz you might not be in a area with the sales you are looking for ! GO AND CHECK IT OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I want to also buy a router for my kids so we can all be ont he internet at the same time) HELP!!!here's a link to a Belkin wireless router and one external USB wireless card for $10 AR at buy.com http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=56936 The USB adapter won't get quite as good a signal as an internal PCI wireless card, but that's a steal. If you want a second computer to onnect at the same time, you can either put that wireless router right next to the other compter and connect to it with a network cable, or you'll need a second wireless card.

msufroggy Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I think emachines are cheaply made. I hear about alot of problems with them. If I bought one (for my child), i would sell the 15" monitor since she already has a flat panel 17" monitor. Then I can get most, if not all, my money back! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
