Maximum PC

Nice link, thank you

Fry's - online, boxed C2D 6600 for $297 plus free shipping here through 1/23 - remember, this has a 3yr warranty

Can't get enough of Fry's lately and here's another online deal on probably one of the best PC cases out there, the Antec Sonata II at $90 plus free shipping. It even has a $50 rebate and a 450W p/s through 1/25.

See it here

For those that may not know, Fry's ads come out every Friday and are good until the following Tuesday. The online prices and components aren't usually what is offerred in their stores. To see their online specials, click this link Friday to get the latest or anytime to see what's available.

I purchased this case not too long ago and I'll testify..... it is the nicest looking case I've ever seen...... It has a piano mirror black finish and well set up case....... I paid $124 Canadian funds for it and would've paid more...... especially with a 450 watt psu.......

you need to go in store, i saw a print ad friday for a quadcore 6600, for 850.00 with a free motherboard of your choice, 2 asus, and the evga board i think were on the list to choose from. bay area.

TigerDirect:
MachSpeed MSNV-939 Socket 939 Barebone Kit / AMD Athlon X2 4600+ OEM / 512MB DDR PC3200 / CPU Fan / ATX Mid-Tower Case with a 350 Watt Power Supply here $299 after $80 rebate

That's not a bad deal.

My only complaint with it is the single stick or RAM.

X2s (and most modern PCs at that) crave dual-channel.

Other than that, add in a video card as well as HDD with 64 bit Linux and you'll have a killer SMP box.

Right you are, would do that too. Looks like this mobo supports dual channel and even has four DDR mem slots! Would probably bump it to up to at least 1GB mem to give it a fighting chance....

tiredoldman asked me to post this link to TigerDirect in the deals sticky.

So Click Here to see the deal he wanted to share with everyone.

if its the amd fx, that is a good deal, but scroll down to the $399.00 6300 that will outfold the fx.

Thank you Mr.G, I dont know HOW to do those things. I just hope someone will benefit from that ad. God bless you all.

IF anybody is interested. Western Digital 320GB SATA
It's from Geeks.com God bless you all.

Then it's posted just fine.

This seems like a good deal to me. You can get 2GB of some DDR2 667 Corsair Valueselect RAM from outpost.com for $130.


DDR2 2GB PC5300 DUAL CORSAIR Might help someone looking for some cheap RAM.

Hey, run a 8 day future forcast and see who's wavin' at ya ??

Hmmm, johnny3144 is 4.5 days behind and smith-lee2005 is 1.4 weeks..think I lost a bit of ground to ya, there! Luckily I have another 2605 SMP WU on the go...fold on,people, fold on!

IF anybody needs some cheap harddrives, yes,I know they are REFURBS, but anyways here goes;

I hope this posted right ? it works !

that is nice to save $10-20 but you can get new drives for a few bucks more than that.. I got my 320GB SATA3 Perpendicular for around $100 at the egg

P4 631 HT full computer minus o/s for $299 after rebate here. Add Ubuntu and you got a great folder - upgrade to a C2D later too.

For those people that want to jump onto the dual core bandwagon, but can't afford to get a new Core 2 Duo and a new motherboard. Look at the following:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813130067
MSI K9N6PGM-F Socket AM2 motherboard $73.13

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103735
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ $109

So for $182.13, you would be able to get a dual core and a new motherboard (provided you have DDR2 memory) for the same price as an E6300.

Also for the people sticking with Socket 939, Newegg has once again got more 3800 X2's.

Hopefully this post will help someone get onto the dual core road.
