Thanks for the copy. Some deals are hot.

[dgr81]

too many MIR's but thanks anyways.

[Wylliecoyote]

Didn't they have that USB hub for $5 last boxing day? Does anyone know if it comes with a powersource?

[Flux]

The router was cheaper during their dads & grads sale.

The belkin surge suppressors are the same price they've been for the last X many months.

But I may just pick up the UPS, retire my little 350.

Other than that, seems a lot worse than their last years boxing day sale?

But, since there's nothing else in town to line up for, I guess I'll be one of the first people through the doors again.

I saw an even better deal on the videocard at Staples today, it is the bfg 5500 OC priced at $99*, regular $129 discount the rebate. So don't wait for this deal.. which seem like there isn't much here.

Not that fast (1-2 months typically), well better than most others of course. But definitely reliable (as already mentioned).

[psydeath]

*edit
ya i guess they are

Does anyone know if the Belkin 802.11g PCI adapter and router is any good performance wise?

[Chookman]

I can speak for the Router as I got it free after MIR at the Dads and Grads sale and I am quite satisfied with it. I'm using a MS wireless-B card to connect my second computer through 3 floors of my house and it has only dropped connection a couple of times. This is pretty good compared to my old Wireless-B router and considering the fact that it sits 3 feet away from my 2.4GHz phone and I've used the phone while transferring without disconnect.

Another good point is that I've never failed to get a rebate back from compusmart.

[felix]

hmm. .. whatever happened to those free after rebate surge protectors and $25 APC UPS from the last two years? :D

[Justin]

Does anyone know when the online sale starts? I am hoping the 25th.

[switch]

The mail in rebates offered by CompuSmart are pretty reliable, so I wouldn't hesitate to jump on deals with MIRs offered by CompuSmart. I've had a 100% success rate with CS MIRs, and yeah, they usually arrive within the promised 4-6 or 6-8 weeks.

However, there's lotsa deals where the MIR is a MANUFACTURER's MIR. I'm not so sure about those deals. :/

Has anyone had any experience with Sandisk, Linksys or APC mail in rebates?

[Ryan]

Thanks! Posted!

[takumi86]

oh wow thanks

[spike-spiegel]

Are the Imation DVD-R/+R reliable? They are only 4x though...

Thank you technut, clone, and jeremy31. PM me if you want gmail invites!

[Daijoubu]

Woah sweet, thanks for the heads up on the X-530 @ OEMExpress
80$-15MIR, I think I'm grabbing these instead of the Altec Lansing VS3151 for 50$ @ FS

[dinesh_zee]

is shipping free?

Actually, that 5500 one is is the AGP version, which are generally less expensive than the PCI version. Staples has the 5200 PCI listed at $199 with no rebate.

How well will this work with the DLink DI-624? I got that for almost free. :cheesygri So now I have a wireless router and no wireless cards or laptops. :lol:

If the cards don't work well, can I just return them (assuming they are in resalable condition)?

BTW, how are the Wacom Graphire3 Tablets? Are they at a good price now? I always wanted one of these. Also, can I right stuff in other languages and let the computer OCR it? I think Office 2003 has that functionallity.

[jeanluc]

go to their website and you'll find out. ;)

this is more like mail in rebate mania

Now I wonder...do CompuSmart do PM?
If so, it could be a hot deal!

I was in at Staples yesterday and these were $119.95.

The PM would get you down around $60 before the rebate, $45 after.

I usually find it a hassle to PM local small computer stores at Staples but as many have said, it should be honoured assuming it's the retail box.

compusmart is local for us in BC

[Daijoubu]

Couldn't find anything about PM politicies :p and the montreal OEMExpress is closing in 50mins!
Takes half an hour to get there and the seller told me to "check the website, I don't know" when I asked about the expiration of this price

[elty]

is the creative muvo mp3 player any good? or a crappy one like those mercury mp3 player for $20 less at FS/BB is sufficient?

[mrken]

you mean OneNote?
I think it is a feature in the Office 2003 system. I think it works in Word and the other stuff too.

Just wondering whether the Tablet is any good.

[aajjmb]
