This has been blared all over the net so it might be gone - Office
Depot selling the AOC/envision CRT monitor 17" for $58 after a $70
rebate but theres another $20 online coupon - order through Office
Depot.com and get it for $38 and specify pick up . I already
purchased one.

Newegg is offering the Nforce2 Ultra board for $53 after rebate - its
the Biostar. I was a bit leery but I checked the consumer reviews
feedback at Newegg on it and NforceHQ.com the website
info/forum/reviews on Nforce boards and didnt see anything bad about
them. I think I saw them associated with PCCHIPs before which made me
leery but they have their own website and it seems decent with proper
updates etc. In the past a website listed all the names PC CHIPS
boards were sold under and I thought biostar was one of them but it
doesnt seem to be now - though I have no real information about it.
I hope not.

Ive seen some free memory rebate deals on 2100 DDR but not lately -
and I missed the ones a few months ago. Got a free burner after
rebate two weeks ago though - cheapo Benq probably. You can get one
for $20 though this week at Office max if they arent out of them.

Ive seen cases going for as low as $20-30 at Newegg and other places.

They raised it to $57 again again rebate.

I bought the refurbed ASUS A7n8x -deluxe instead for $69.
They have various refurbed units in one in awhile.

Comes with no cables, no manual , plate or retail box.
You can download all that stuff and people have been posting you can
get the panel from Asus etc.

Not sure if it has any warranty beyond the 15 day Newegg one though.
Has I think firewire and lots of USB2.0 ports and Raid.

Its a NFORCE2 board but not the Ultra I think.
I see posts about how people want the 2.0 revision.
