aardvark baguette Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Buy.com has alot of great computer deals. BUT.... Factory Recertified
Dusty Chalk Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah, that takes it down a notch, but I've bought factory recertified before, I don't really have a problem with that. I mean, half the time, it's just people returning something they couldn't afford in the first place. It's still a great deal.
riceboy Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Still a great deal. Thanks for the heads up Dusty. I'm surprised that PC doesn't have Gig Ethernet, but for a Quad Cord, Blu Ray with 1TB it's still a great deal .
deepak Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 That is a nice deal. Does BD tax the video card like x264 or high resolution xvid?
tkam Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Blu-ray is pretty taxing and it's only been the last generation or so of video cards that even have hd video playback support anything prior to that and it's all on the software decoding and the cpu. The Phenom cpu in that machine certainly has enough power to do software decoding. Watching a blu-ray on my laptop (8800M GTX), with the video acceleration turned on has about 15-20% cpu usage.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Posted July 1, 2008 This week's deal: Cavalry 1TB external, eSata, $175
riceboy Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 This week's deal: Cavalry 1TB external, eSata, $175 Great deal with the eSata. Dusty stop tempting me Thanks for posting up the deals
Dusty Chalk Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Posted July 4, 2008 So I just called the guys at Buy.com goobers because they cancelled my order when they couldn't verify my PayPal address, even though I've had a verified address since like infinity B.C. I've bought from them before, I just don't think I've used PayPal before. I'll see if I can't buy it again just using a regular credit card, which is how I think I've done it before.
aardvark baguette Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Seems like Calvary keeps updating their cases, every time I check back. These look nice. edit: this one happens to be a $470 2TB NAS
Dusty Chalk Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Posted July 8, 2008 This is the cheapest I've seen the 2TB, I think.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Posted July 16, 2008 Does it come in black? (6700, but nowhere near as much disk space nor RAM)
aardvark baguette Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Does it come in black? (6700, but nowhere near as much disk space nor RAM) Looks like it has an upgrade to 3GB of ram from 2GB. Plus it offers a better video card than the Dell. I had to add the videocard, because integrated graphics = fail. The card Dell offered was a low-powered Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB ($150 add-on). Not the card I would chose, but it has 2 DVI at least. Dual linke DVI, afaik. I'm not planning on gaming much with it, I just want to run 24" or 30" monitors.

ldj325 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Posted August 13, 2008 Recently Fry's Electronics has had WD Greenpower (needs 40% less power) 1TB internal for $159. And Newegg has them for $169, which is still a pretty good price. But the best I've seen elsewhere is here for $139: Centrix-intl.com - Western Digital WD10EACS Wholesale Price, Ships Same Day! But I don't know anything about the rep of this vendor.

riceboy Posted August 14, 2008 Report Posted August 14, 2008 Seen this computer for $500. Not to bad for someone that wants to replace a computer just to surf the net, do some multimedia and run word processing apps. It doesn't have a great proc or vid card or even Gig Ethernet, but it is does come with a monitor.
