lol that's awesome man...I think rebates are limit 1 per household though so be careful with that.

Nice taped up WIFI card btw....

I think I pushed the power supply a little too much - installed a secondary 120Gb hard drive, 1 Gig of RAM, a DVDRW, 2 case fans and an ATI X850XT....it wouldn't power on..I had to disconnect the power to either one of my hard drives or a media drive (cdrw/dvd-rom) to get it to turn on......but it works!

btw, on one of my computers the whole barcode area was missing, the manager @ The store said its no biggi and i can still do the rebate, but the rebate clearly states i need the original UPC
what should i do?

You are probably hosed. I wouldn't believe the manager. He probably has never sent in a rebate. I would suggest that you get a guarantee in writing FROM THAT MANAGER that if you get a reject letter for that rebate then HE WILL MAKE GOOD ON THE CASH DIRECTLY FROM THE STORE.

What likely happened is that some thief ripped off the UPC so he could send in a rebate and get the cash sans having to buy a computer at all--or he bought one computer and will copy the rebate form and his receipt to get an extra rebate.

Try to get that in writing! If feasible get the persons name, Because when push comes to shove I think you will have a problem since the rebates are normally a 3rd party that already tries to make processing rebates somewhat difficult at times. Might be a case where you have to try and get the store itself to honor the rebate with a store credit.

hhmmm check with your local Circuit City Store...

hehe wait till I replace the cpu with an A64 and oc it a little bit...the computer will blow up!

Mine is running two 160gb seagate 7200.9 in raid 0, got the other from tigerdirect for 19.97, w/ a x800gto2 and 1gb of memory. During this horrible "Woot off" I have been working on this computer and another one almost non stop. I flashed the bios and reloaded windows but still havent bothered to overclock, due to the video card which I will replace with something less powerful at which point I will then proceeded to overclock. I also took off the horrible fan that came on the cpu and put a normal quieter 80mm fan on it the thing fit with the screws from the old fan too. The loudest component in it now is the hdd when not gamming.

I payed about 150 for the computer, 19.97 for the other hdd, 20 + audigy 2zs + a cheap pda I got for free for the x800gto2, scrounged the ram, and sold the monitor to my sister. Less then 200 for the whole system so I wont get a new processor unless I can get one for about 20 bucks like what I payed for everything else .

Also the computer auto downclocks, and undervolts, to 1ghz if you dont flash the bios (200fsb*5 multi w/ 1volt = 1ghz) It normally should be 200*9 multi w/ 1.37 volts = 1.8ghz. It does change to normal in 3d applications but I flashed to have all of the power all of the time.

The deal should last till sunday so long as your store has the items on stock and I think that you can check that at the CC website all that you have to do is bring up each item and punch in you zipcode.

 

[d94]

btw can these boards take x2s?

 

[BossBorot]

According to others yes. Foxconn also says they they do but that is with the other bios.

If you are going to put in an x2 you should flash the bios and reload windows though.

btw nice snakes on a plane avatar.

 

[d94]

sweet..oh and if i were to flash it how far do you think i could oc the stock chip with the stock cooler?
