elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Congrats. Didn't need one, but also never saw them in my Walmart. People were pretty much at the 52"tvs and computers ($398 ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouronmyskirt Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I got one too. Sent my son in for it. He said there were about 10 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxyklt Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 My store had 15 of them and I got the first one. They didn't bring them out on the floor until 5am and one of the police officers told me where they were bringing them out at so I was the first one there.

Missye Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I don't even think our store even carried it. When I asked about them the RUDE Walmart rep looked at me and said SOLD OUT I know working retail is hard during the holidays but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8truths Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The $148 eMachine I got seems pretty good. I've already had it overclocked from 3.2 GHz to 3.6 and there was no instability whatsoever. That was a surprise, since eMachines have a rep for gimpy and unstable power supplies. However, info I found online says these will overclock safely to 3.7 GHz with the original cooling system. After getting such good results, I'm tempted to build the system up, maybe with a decent video card, some RAM ... perhaps a power supply. You can get parts so damned cheap on NewEgg anymore that it's almost dumb to not build it up. If I can find a decent price on a P4 processor, I might just sell the Celeron on eBay and reduce the cost of building the machine up. I like it. Very happy with my purchase.

mudd274 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 got there at 3mins. to 5 and was the first to get one.they had 6!!!! not allowing items to be put on layaway kept alot of people out of our store. good for me but bad for people who are in worst shape than I. walmart has messed up christmas for alot of little children.....not letting people put things on layaway on bf. think I will give alittle of my savings from today to TOYS FOR TOTS.

AndreaInNC Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I finally got one too! At 4:15am, the store manager had no clue about the computer. They gave me a rain check because they couldn't find them. I got a call at about 9:30 this morning that they found them and one was being held for me. Yipee! Now to find an inexpensive LCD monitor.

scrapwave Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 our WM had 3 of them but they were Compaq Presario's...and I had to ask someone where they were...they were just over on the shelf with NO advertised pricing on them. I don't think they sold any of them as we decided we didn't want one either (my mom decided against getting one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKS88 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Can anyone please tell me what brand and model # theirs were? Our store manager couldn't find ours. Today I went in and saw a Emachines model without the monitor that rang up $348 and I'm wondering if this was one of the ones they couldn't find.

Today I went in and saw a Emachines model without the monitor that rang up $348 and I'm wondering if this was one of the ones they couldn't find. This was not the right one, but I had a friend who took it up to the register and argued with the cashier and got it for the 148.00 price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
