[Calmuser]

hmm some stuff I would like at decent prices..but really can't really afford anything after this dell LCD :) maybe if I won the NCIX GC contest *HINT HINT* :D

[littlefish]

Woot :) better than FS/BB :D

[gambit_360]

Sweet, picked up a 7800GT CO :D

Me too. Well, I got the 7800GT CO SE version which I think is going to sell out FAST. $300 for a card easily overclockable to 7800GTX speeds, you can't go wrong. I rarely play games, but I couldn't pass up on this.

[ProfessorChaos]

if i had pci-express i'd get that 7800gt co....wont a better deal for a while...299 is an absolute steal

[Ryan]

Nice deals on video cards and media it looks like! Posted!

[Firehawk]

[JayPatel]

[ProfessorChaos]

not only is it lifetime warranty from evga....comes factory OCed to 470/1100 from 400/1000.....and a copper heatsink hmmmm...retail packaging too....$299 + 1tax for us outside BC hmmm AHHH

[itsyours]

Yeah, right! Without buy it button. :mad:

[7jai]

lol the samsung dvd-rw isn't bad.

and for the ppl who are looking at the canon all in one printer for 39.99. it's AFTER MIR and the MIR only works if you buy a computer hardware with the printer (can someone verfiy this again for me)

[simon0t7]

Yeah, right! Without buy it button. :mad:

indeed! Only this one is missing the buy it button!

PS: Merry Christmas for those in the EST

[yackulic]

7800 gt is problay the cheapest u will find it for 6 months

[spol]

is this real??? OMG GREAT PRICESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSS

[GeneralCho]

There are some pretty good deals. I think there are better deals than FS and BB.
1) eVGA 7800GT CO SE vid card $299
2) Logitch Z5500 5.1 speakers $289.99
3) Logitech Harmony 520
4) AMD Opeteron 146

I am planning to buy it in-store. I just hope that there are still stock available.

[(Bean)]

I wanted the Seagate 300 HD for my PVR to be cheaper than last week - oh well. It wasn't and now they are gone anyway.

[dogbolter]

Got everything I wanted except the Sonota II, shipping killed that deal.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

[acb82]

Can they please add the "buy it now" button for the 146 Opteron so I can pull the trigger on the 7800GT before it's sold out.. I'm looking to buy both and want to include everything in one single order to save on shipping. :)

[nuropa]

cool, got my cheap wireless router without having to deal with rebates.

There's a bug with our system on that product. Someone is looking into it, but it'll be an hour or two unfortunately.

Place your order now, then place another once the Opteron problem has been fixed, but select "pick up" as the delivery option, so you're not charged for additional shipping.

Then send us a ticket and we can consolidate your order for you next week when we're processing orders.

BTW - to the person that wanted to buy in-store, only parts with quantities available still on Boxing Day will be available for sale.

Items like the 7800GT CO SE (this one is the slower copper cooler version, and yes, it is a killer deal) won't last the next hour I'll bet. :lol:

Sorry for the inconvenience regarding the Opteron. :(

Season's Greetings to all from NCIX!

[BigBadBoo]

I try to order the gt and it keeps adding the samsung usb key instead to teh cart, and checkout. Almost confirmed it too.

[SubXO]

Is the "SAMSUNG 512MB PC3200 DDR400 184PIN OEM" a good price? I've been meaning to upgrade to 2*512MB.

[spol]

7800 gt is problay the cheapest u will find it for 6 months

hmmm, any facts to back urself up or are you just guessing?

[slug]

7800GT CO SE is a super deal. I got mine! :D

I don't get it... how do I place my order now?

Thanks

[importpsycho]

what's "SE"
usuallly SE means crippled...

anyone know what stepping 146?

[kashirat]

How good is that Opteron 146? I was going to get an athlon64 3700+ for $240... but if this is close to the same performance, it would be a better deal no?

[silvermark]

Got the last 7800GT CO SE. Thanks!

[gambit_360]

so what DO you use it for? to browse the web?

That will soon change after I get this card. :D

[galanz]

Got my 7800 GT, dambed good price.

Plus unlike some other retailers(ahem) NCIX's site works!

I just wish there were more Power supply deals.

[importpsycho]

GEFORCE 7800GT CO SE SOLD OUT by RFD

[nuropa]

cool, got my cheap wireless router without having to deal with rebates.

I just thought of something, assuming the UPC code is the same for the DI-524 wireless router from NCIX and FS/BB. . If i order another dlink di-524 from futureshop/bs, i can send in the $20 rebate with a copy of the receipt and then return one of router unopened to fs/bb for a full refund. so that's $29.99 + tax - $20 rebate. hmmm.. would that be unethical?

yeah, I noticed that too

btw, does this router have bridge mode... tried searching in google, but didn't come up with anything

[MonsieurMax]

Nice! I went on NCIX website around 10:45pm (EST Time) and the deals were on!!! I was able to grab one of the first 7800GT! Very good deals! Been waiting 2 weeks for a deal on this card!

Thank NCIX!!! :)

[MXMike]

Is the "SAMSUNG 512MB PC3200 DDR400 184PIN OEM" a good price? I've been meaning to upgrade to 2*512MB.
It's probably the best price at NCIX so far, but only by a dollar or 2. I got this at a previous sale for around $44 each, several months ago. My 2 chips work fine and run at duel channel, but I don't think these are recommended for OC'ing.

[MrDisco]

does anyone know if the OCZ 2GB kit onsale at ncix is compatible with the asus A8N-SLI deluxe board they have on sale?

[acb82]

Then send us a ticket and we can consolidate your order for you next week when we're processing orders.I made an order for some OCZ RAM and the 7800 GT but still wanted to order the Opteron.. how do people not in B.C. choose pick up as an option? That option doesn't seem to be listed for me.. :confused:

the 3 stores are listed, so you pick which one you want to go to. works for me.

[fitbrit]

Wow! I'm so glad I picked up the Opteron 146 for $165 from NCIX last week!

[acb82]

the 3 stores are listed, so you pick which one you want to go to. works for me.That only works if you have entered a B.C. address I think.. I tested this by changing my shipping address to a B.C. address.. once I did this all the "pick up" options then appear.. changed my address back to my real address in Ontario.. the options for pick up then all disappear.How do you add it to the cart?I don't know.. I still can't add it either.. just asking in advance so once the bug is fixed I'll know how to go about consolidating my orders to avoid any extra shipping charges.

[JayPatel]

Got the last 7800GT CO SE. Thanks!

crap. i knew i shouldnt have wasted my time at the Futureshop site. i should of checked out when I had the chance.

sweet deal to those that got in. apart from the measly 10mhz clock difference, what else is different in the CO SE than just the CO version??

[MrDisco]

holy #@$@ i finally did it.

as soon as the deal went live i put the 7800GT CO SE in my cart. after an hour went by i saw that the card went out of stock. CRAP! but it was still in my cart. so i went ahead and played around with my order trying to build my new PC (to replace my P3-933!). had excel opened and played with varying components all revolving around that 7800GT. 3 hrs later i finally placed my order and it appeard to go. deal captured! i'm pretty jazzed..this will be my first computer build. be prepared for tons of Qs in the computer forum :)

i got an x2 3800+, the vid, asus a8n-sli deluxe, and ocz 2x512 plat. el memory. i wanted the sonata2 but shipping would have been ~$40. instead i think i'll get it from CC on boxing day (4% off, add 15% tax and it comes out to nearly the same as getting it from ncix at current shipping rates).

screw the ps2/gamecube now! :)

[Inferno69]

woohooo.. im building me a computer!

anyways, if you have the stuff in your shopping cart but havent ordered, is it safe to say that it's yours when you do order? or can they still sell out?

[MrDisco]

sweet deal to those that got in. apart from the measly 10mhz clock difference, what else is different in the CO SE than just the CO version??

Regular GT - 445 MHz GPU, 20 Pixel Pipelines, 400 MHz RAMDAC, Memory: 256 MB, 256 bit GDDR3, 1070 MHz (effective), 34.24 GB/s Memory Bandwidth

CO SE - 460 MHz GPU, 20 Pixel Pipelines, 400 MHz RAMDAC, Memory: 256 MB, 256 bit GDDR3, 1100 MHz (effective), 35.2 GB/s Memory Bandwidth

CO - 470 MHz GPU, 20 Pixel Pipelines, 400 MHz RAMDAC, Memory: 256 MB, 256 bit GDDR3, 1100 MHz (effective), 35.2 GB/s Memory Bandwidth

so yeah..10Mhz diff between the COs, and 15MHz more between the entry GT

[Inferno69]

wow...i'm angry :(

Okay, i have my shopping cart full, and its exactly at 18lbs, just enough for express shipping for $30. I notice that I could add my free half life 2 voucher, so I do that, then it takes away the express shipping option because the voucher is apparently 0.1lbs. now wtf, thats complete and utter BS! :mad: The voucher is a piece of paper like 5 inches wide and 2 inches tall. it probably doesnt even weigh 5 grams!!! I hope NCIX can let me get away with the $30 express shipping, even though my order exceeds the limit by .1 of a lb, which is inaccurate anyways.

[cheezies]

Passed up on the 7800 GT deal, using a notebook atm, I'd have to buy a whole new rig to use the card. Smoking hot deal though!!!

[The Digital Dolphin]

In case people are wondering.... I asked to have the Maxell Plus series DVD-Rs added to the sale (I can say this now I think :P). I wanted to make sure people had a good archival disc option in the mix (better then Taiyo Yuden for bonding, which affects archival life span).

[importpsycho]

even thought there is no way add opteron 146 to your cart... 7 ppl have managed buy it... :confused:

The thought just occured to me to come here and I see it is already to late I see someone has already posted my solution, thanks for spreading the word unforunately it is going to go quick now hopefully NCIX doesnt mind me sharing my solution

[Aijuswannasing]

Did you guys notice the 100 pks of TY DVDRs for 30 bucks? Is this brand still the best? I think i remember reading somewhere that these are now MIT.

is this a hot deal?




Still debating whether to chance that 200pk of "no-names" from FS

[recordman]

No, the DI-524 doesn't have bridge mode AFAIK. I had one before. My cheap $0.99 (AR) Gigafast wireless router has bridge mode (btw, on sale for $2.99 (AR) at BB), but it doesn't work quite as well with my adaptor (drops connection a few times an hour).

yeah, I noticed that too

btw, does this router have bridge mode... tried searching in google, but didn't come up with anything

[Admiral~X~]

I personally like the TY I know quite a few people that bought them and been quite pleased however you prolly want to wait for a couple more opinions if I was going to put together an order I might however the shipping weight makes it more expensive than if I just order them with one of my larger orders so I get the free shipping

BTW, for anyone interested... the sale page shows the shiny silver tops on sale, but the white ones are also discounted a few bucks (not as much as silver, though):

Taiyo Yuden are strictly Japanese DVD's, not that Taiwanese or Made in India garbage. Made in Luxomberg are also really good media.

I'd rather try my luck from FF&BB with the Maxell -/+ disc they got on sale now for $25.(free shipping too) If they aren't MiJ, I can always return it with no hassle. If they are, great deal since the quality is as good and personally I prefer branded since it's easier to write on. By the way, no one mentioned the Verbatim dual layer +R?! $30 for 10 is great price. I'm glad I didn't order them last week when it's $35(which is still $5 cheaper than what I paid for my first spindle...) Now tempted to get another one.

By the way, not only the stuff from the top section are good deal. Like one of the poster mentioned, 100 paper sleeves for 99 cents is pretty good. Very handy when you want to hand out stuff to your friends and stuff.

[itsyours]

It works. Ordered. Thanks Admiral~X~.

If NCIX has the Opteron 146 instock, why aren't they shipping the one I ordered weeks ago?

[simon0t7]

damn, missed the opteron sale :(

[acb82]

Great so I wait for hours to be able to order the Opteron, couldn't wait any longer since I do have to sleep at some point, now I wake up and check back to find that they're sold out. :mad:

[Admiral~X~]

Nope only the first 50 will be honored

[NCIX.com]

I just tried it in my store I think you can still get the price however I dont know if they will honor it but you can always try

We will not honour any beyond the first 50 pieces that were sold. Please don't try this as you won't get it at that price. We'd actually love to sell them all week long, but 50 is all that could be allocated for Boxing Week.

We are expecting additional shipments at some point, but we expect very limited supply for at least 3 to 4 months.

Old pre-orders and backorders should be cleared up as well sometime next week. Unfortunately for those who submitted orders a long time ago, these literally arrived as one of the last shipments on Friday, so we had no chance to process or ship anything out.

Terrific, I was refreshing last night for about 3 hours, and when I wake up, its gone :(

[Inferno69]

why does everybody want the 146? Whats so good about it?

Overclocks well for the price.

Hey, I'm wondering if the nGear 3.5" Drive Enclosure they have on sale will support over 200Gb drives? There's almost no information on it on the product page :(

[Montague]

hmm.

Would not partitioning the drive solve that problem if it does not? (I dun know myself).

[MrDisco]

most enclosures i've used have not had issues with super large size HDs

[Firehawk]

I've got no idea, I didn't know you could partition an external HD even. I've just heard that the controller in a lot of enclosures can only support up to 200 GB

[Inferno69]

Overclocks well for the price.
I wish I knew how to overclock.

I just spent an two hours reading up on it.. but it just seems to damn hard/risky.

[sparhawk909]

Is this Samsung SH-W162C DVD burner about equal to the LG GS-4167B being sold at Anitec? A couple dollars difference, but I want the better of the two.

[itsyours]

Me too, I am waiting for my OEM and retail 146 from NCIX.

Cooling, cooling, cooling! And having decent brand name memory sticks.

dont worry, I have good cooling. I have a p180 already that I bought when they had flat rate $6 shipping. on top amd's stock cpu fans are already good. I also have 2 gigs of Corsair XMS ram. I just need to know exactly what to do in the bios to overclock :)

It's been a while. YOu need to have a very good motherboard to do the OC. I still have an Abit BH6. Awesome board! You need a very stable MB and the "right CPU". Some CPU's are NOT OC'able and others are, the same with the MB.You have to do a lot of homework to see what you got and what others have done/speeds they have achieved.

In a nutsheel and to be safe, keep the FSB setting the same and adjust the multiplier one setting or two at a time. You may have to adjust the voltage to make things stable, but I wouldn't. If that's the situation, don't OC.

The best thing to do is hang around your motherboard's manufacturer's newsgroups and lurk there. Search old posts. Remember, anytime you OC you risk frying your board and/or CPU. Manufacturers in "essence" sell you OC'ed chips but are tested to work and guaranteed to be stable at a given speed.

Remember, if don't feel confident and donr want to risk trashing your MB and CPU, don't OC.

I'll be getting a 3700, apparently a very good overclocker. Many people have this at 2.75ghz on stock cooling. I'll probqably be getting a DFI or ASUS mobo. I still have some reading to do, but I think I'm getting the hang of it :)

[MrDisco]

oh, I know, I know.

i think general consensus is that if you want to oc get the DFI. if you want a straight stable board get the asus.

[scotty01]

100 paper sleeves for 99 cents is pretty good. Very handy when you want to hand out stuff to your friends and stuff.

I was just about to order a few packs of these as well as a USB 2.0 PCI card. My order was only about $12.00 total but I went to check out and realized they were going to charge me another $15.00 shipping so I backed out. :(

[Inferno69]

Well I've read up on it more and it seems as the ASUS is a nice, stable board that is good for noob overclockers since it has the basic features down pat, although the DFI has a TON more features for overclocking, its for more experienced overclockers.

this is boxing day week sale without a flat rate shipping like the 5.99 you had last week its boring.

[simon0t7]

I bought a 146 from a different place today in Ontario
CAB2E 0546
hot as hell but most can do at least 270-300 * 10
doing a 24 hr burn in with prime so i haven't had the chance to OC it yet

no need to do a burn in I have a 148 OEM straight into the box and ran it to 2750 with 11x250 1:1, 10x300 should not be a problem but I prefer to run the 1:1 vs a divider

[jozero]

I got the nGear 3.5" HD enclosure, which is over 50% off at $15. Its just for a spare external so I thought why not, but am actually impressed with it. Its small and not badly built.

i've also read the dfi is quite picky about ram and can be a pain for noobs. i just got an asus a8n-sli (which i'm trying to replace with the a8n32) b/c i want hassle free stability.

Also, do you know if they're processing orders quickly? I'll use express shipping and I'll order tomorrow before 1PM PST, but do you think they'll ship it out by thursday for it to arrive on friday?

[Pavel]

Good choice. Personally, I would want stability over extra features. You can't go wrong with Asus.

And on that note, when I asked earlier about whether or not it could support over 200 GB drives, NCIX actually went and tested it themselves and said it did. It's been having a few problems though with other people's drives, so maybe just read about it on the forums in the product page if you're thinking about buying it to see what could happen. For $15 if this works, it'll be a steal.

[scotty01]

If shipping was $5.99 I'd be glad to order my paper sleeves but I refuse to pay $12. - $15. to have some lightweight sheets of paper shipped to my door and double my total cost.

but 12 dollars to ship a 15 dollar product is robbery!

they're quite backlogged. even tickets sent to them are delayed, so i would not expect the typical turn around in shipping compared to a normal month. so no i would not pay extra if the intent is to have it by friday.

[Inferno69]

I ordered and ended up paying $45 for express shipping and insurance. Ontop of this I used price match which they said will delay my order by another 1-2 buisness days :(

what did you order?
i've never used the PM before...wonder if i should have looked into that. do they base the PM on the price stated or do they add 3% (since many prices here are all cash discounted).

fyi my order that i placed on the 26th was shipped today so the turn aroudn isn't -that- bad, however they are very slow to respond to tickets :|

I thought it would take much longer, but if they're being serious about it taking 2-3 business days to price match then thats absolutely ridiculous.

The price match works like a normal price match, they match the price of the link that you give them.

anyone else have orders not processing?
my 146 has been stuck at "Shipping Info Verification " for few days now
I already got 7800gt....

I ordered before Christmas and my order still hasn't been shipped yet. How tough is it to stick a spindle of DVD-Rs and mail them?

[moondogg]

I ordered the 3700+ with a bunch of other stuff, its does 3ghz, but I cant keep it cool enough with my freezer64, so I got it running at 2.8 at 52C under load, 32 idle.

Any idea when next NCIX sale is going to be posted?

"Starts December 30 @ 9PM"

9PM Pacific I assume.

[MrDisco]

please let it be flat rate shipping. daddy needs a new case.

[Shepherd214]

Sales up. Nothing special >:(

[importpsycho]

oh common~ how long does it take to check the stock and process CC? damn it...

[importpsycho]

if you ordered Opteron 146 for 189.98 through "my store"
and stil waiting to be processed.
you might want to contact NCIX, they think it's pricing error.
I went to NCIX today and they told me my order is not processing becuase 189.98 was a pricing error. I explain that it was not an error, but boxing day special, only then they processed my order.

[JayPatel]

anyone want to confirm that the 7800GT cards shipped by NCIX were in fact the 7800GT CO (470 Mhz) instead of the 7800GT COSE (460 Mhz)?
