Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile Ok...the last one was just getting out of hand. Today - Thursday March 20 - Price mistake of the day @ buy.com USB 802.11B adapter $20, no rebates! Some brand I've never heard of...but hey...it's 20 bucks! 03-20-2003 16:19:38

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 1 times) inx3us Profile Was that really a mistake? I checked the website and nothing... 03-21-2003 11:39:12

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) NarShadda Profile What zmoz is referring to is what Buy.com calls the "Price mistake of the day". Look in the left margin of the main page. The price is only good for 24 hours, so we both missed it. :( 03-21-2003 15:06:02

Free PCB Boards (modified 0 times) Rezz Profile | Email Acvanced Circuits has posted another "Free Prototype PCB" promo. This time it is either two (2) free (single or double sided) boards or $350 off a multi (3 or more) layered board order .... etc. The catch is this time you really have to be fast as the promo ends 5/31/03. If you have designed your own i-mod 3 board or dual serial board or better yet an adapter board to plug in a 1+ Ghz processor....etc. Or if you just like this sort of thing or just want to try out a free linux PCB software, or a Free Windows PCB software or a Free Mac PCB software don't sit around on this one. 04-12-2003 00:40:34

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Compusa has the HP 1000 Photo scanner on sale for $29.99. I'm impressed with it. I've scanned everything from pennies to a Matrix ticket stub to a P-4 1.6ghz cpu. All looking fairly good! If it's used on an older laptop and the scanner does not work try using a BEEFIER or shorter Usb cable. The cable that comes packaged with the scanner did not allow enough juice to the scanner to function. I believe a combination of too long of cable and too small of cable conductors. It could be my Dumpster special P-II 300 Thinkpad Laptop Usb does not supply enough juice? I'll try the supplied cable on my new Toshiba later on... 05-25-2003 23:53:39

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) redwood Profile Thanks 02U2 ! I've been _wasting time searching ebay for the photomax scanner, ever since I missed it at computer geeks for about $25 + ship... but, its only paralell (sp).. usb should be faster... oh, BTW , today, memorial day, shipping, only a penney! 05-26-2003 10:00:00

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) Kludgemeister Profile apaulo - Thanks for the USB speakers link! When I read more and found out they also have analog input, I ordered a second set for the bedroom TV (not worth an HT sound system, but it does have a headphone socket.)

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Best Buy Has a "Kogi brand 14.1" LCD Model L4AX Monitor for $150+tax AFTER $70 MIR. I know BB SUX but I bought it anyway. I'm looking for a replacement LCD for a 14.1" Toshiba P-III 700MHZ Model 2805-s202. I fished out of the dumpster last year. Tossed because of cracked LCD. They wanted over $1,400 for the replacement LCD panel alone at that time!!!! I've fished out an earlier model 14.1 " kogi last month and it also had a cracked screen. Just so happen to have an LG model LCD screen so I hope the L4AX has an LG model too!~ It actually produces a fair picture! Got it setting on top of my Shuttle SS40g for the time being... First thing I checked for was any defective pixels..HAS NONE! I turned uo the brightness and it gets pretty bright! Possibly good enough for car daytime use! Requires 12DC @2A using the supplied AC adapter. Supports up to 1024x768 @75hz. Field of view is rather narrow, approx 15-20 degrees from center each side. Overall I give it a good rating for the price. He he, The sales dude really tried to sell me the $50 service plan. Nada! Comes with a Video cable that is really a lot thinner than most! Seems to run fairly cool. I have 2 weeks to play with it. The factory seal came off rather easy and intact with a little heat applied. 06-01-2003 13:38:59

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile OH BTW, it's mostly black with silver trim around the LCD panel. 06-01-2003 13:40:53

Multimeter $3 (modified 0 times) KneuB_2 Profile | Email HarborFreight has a good deal on a multimeter for $3 Use code 061-723-858 for free shipping ($5.95 handling fee still charged) or use your local Brick & Mortor store to avoid the stiff S&H all together 06-07-2003 11:07:40

FRS Radio Free (modified 0 times) Rezz Profile | Email Radio Shack is giving away a pair of FRS radios ($9.99 BEFORE the $20 rebate). See catalog #21-1894. These are rather cheap units but surprisingly are much better than what I expected. They are listed as 500 mW units with a range up to 2 miles. The pair I just bought we tested out to one mile with rather clear reception. Considering these things are mass produced I would surmise that the likelyhood of actually getting a unit capable of putting out 500 mW is rather small. With that in mind I was wondering what kind of job it would be to tweak these to increase the power output a bit. Any suggestions? 07-06-2003 20:06:23

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Doubling the RF output would only increase the actual range a very small amount. Drawbacks to name a few would be, #1 Violation of LAW (probably several), Voiding type acceptance. #2 Increased RF interference(to include harmonics)with other radio services which may include fire and medical emergency services on other Uhf frequencies. #3 Increased current consumption (shorted battery life). 07-06-2003 21:14:32

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Above Cat # S/B 21-1849 for Frs radios. Shorted? (Me Sp) 07-06-2003 21:52:17

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile For those in Seattle/Bellevue area Vetco surplus has from time to time a few 256MB Sandisk solid state drives (Notebook style 2.5" 2MM IDE interface) for under $25. These are shop pulls from intermec equipment. Model SD25B-256 If one is interested one may want to CALL THEM them first before making the trip. 08-14-2003 21:25:58

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Referencing the above flashdrives, Removing the sheet metal cover (Held on with 4 slotted screws) reveals that only about 1/4th of the pcb is populated with flash memory...Lots of pads for more chips! With the covers removed the flashdrive PCB is ultra thin, less than the thickness of the 2mm ide header. Could fit in an i-Opener with ease! Not being an expert on flash drives, I'm wondering if the SMD chips from another same model flash drive can be removed to build a single 512MB drive or larger. Seems like there is enough space onboard for at least 1 GB worth of chips! 08-15-2003 13:05:44

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile If anyone cares....The flashdrives are gone from Vetco surplus for the moment. Evidently the batch of 4 on display was there last. I offered $75 tax included for the 4 on display and they accepted it. A 1GB flash drive sells for over $1000. http://www.psism.com/flashdrive.htm May be worth while to TRY and make one from the 4? 08-16-2003 11:47:05

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile For those that live near Renton Wa, Fry's Electronics grand opening! Lots of kool stuff at a temporary discount. I brought the 2 page Newspaper ad to a local Comp-usa and they priced matched! Store dude was to lazy to call and verify if they still had stock at Fry's. 08-30-2003 09:59:39

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) Kudzu Profile They probably did still have stock, Fry's had pallet loads of all of the ad items. The Grand opening yesterday was pretty fun, the line was amazingly long, but at least the cafe was good. 08-30-2003 19:47:09

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) Kudzu Profile Oh, and I got to meet Randy Fry. :) He looked a little PO'd at the time, the employees were either in awe or scattering from his path. 08-30-2003 19:49:14

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Comp-usa has a Maxtor 120GB 8MB Cache Harddrive for $60 after $40 MIR. Just FYI though...Most of the Harddrive store "Product protection" warranty cores I use to salvage for some reason or another were Maxtor. Very few Western digital. It seemed like to me most of the the Maxtors were typically in store warranty replaced by Western digital brand. Some of the defective Maxtors drive cores could be restored to factory spec by using "MaxDiag" (A VERY long process but worth it!) 08-31-2003 05:57:37

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Comp-USA also has an I/O Magic DVD -R/+R/RW (All format) Burner for $169 plus additional $30 MIR. I price matched with a local Fred meyers store this morning (No hassle on the 2nd try @ 2nd store). It is an Optowrite Model DD0203. Appears to have good reviews! http://205.180.85.40/w/pc.cgi?mid=21881&sid=4610 http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/4252.cfm Guess it's available in BLACK too! 08-31-2003 09:59:23

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Gosh I love Vetco Surplus Electronics in Bellevue! If you live near Bellevue Wa. Visit Vetco from time to time! I usually stop by and browse almost every other day! (it's in line with my daily routine). Just scored on a Rubbermaid plastic bin full of X-10 stuff. Most of it still new in individual boxes. At first when I saw it on the shelve marked $39 I thought it was $39 for each item in the bin, But store dude said the price was for the entire bin! I promptly paid cash. Contents are, 1 2.4ghz X-10 color camera with battery pack. 1 extra battery pack still in box. 1 2.4 ghz receiver. 4 Remote controls still in boxes. 4 Wireless dark grey grey mini infrared motion sensors. 1 Wireless VCR Commander. 1 Screw in light bulb socket controller A few other items that elude my mind at the moment... All the wall warts included. Gosh I love this hobby! BTW, they have reverse RP wireless SMA, MMXC, TNC crimp connectors. Little spendy but very handy! 09-06-2003 16:37:44

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) redwood Profile perhaps this could be used on your Iopener? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?j=1&id=1055770477959&bfinfo=0-0-0-0-qkwmy&skuId=5694894&type=product Creative Labs Sound Blaster MP3+ External USB Sound System Best Buy has the Creative Labs-Sound Blaster MP3 External USB Sound System for $39.99 after a $20 MIR - Free Shipping of course http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=18&threadid=217258 credit to fatwallet :) 09-07-2003 20:33:39

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Again for those that live near Bellevue, Wa. Vetco surplus just got in a bunch of car 12VDC to 19VDC rated @3A, adapters. They priced them @ $20 ea. These were made for Intermec and are in new condition still in box. I'm not sure if these will supply enough current for the modified I-opener without some internal modifications by someone else knowledgeable enough. There appears to to be room for a small fan. Perhaps the internal heatsink it could be increased in size? Unknown if the power plug is the correct size. I did not buy one, I already have WAY more than enough adapters from office depot clearances and my recycling excursions. They also have approx 10-11" long Antenna pigtails MMCX to standard SMA with a ferrite toroid. These look like the ones that the Intermec 6640 Tablet PC have for the internal wireless PC Card. There is SMA rubber duck antennas (Green band 915 MHZ) that fit these on the same isle. The rubber tube cover can removed and the spring antenna could be measured and cut for 2.4ghz....or remove the spring and install a DIY coaxial dipole. Lots of other KOOL stuff in the store for the tinkerer or hardware Hacker! Some of it is from Intermec. Definately worth a visit if you live nearby! 09-14-2003 06:59:09

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) inx3us Profile It says "limited supply by geographic area" or something. I'm in Md. and item is "CBO" which they say means item will not be shipped. 09-25-2003 14:22:01

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Not really a super deal but i'll share anyway, Rite-Aid drugstores have a GPX wireless 2.4ghz (I'll assume B+W) Infrared LED illuminator type security camera going on sale tommorrow, $39. The current price is $59. Be cautioned IMHO it's butt ugly. With a little inginuity I imagine one could mount it inside a car, and in the home make a 2.4ghz directional patch antenna and have a 2.4ghz receiver hooked up to a DVR or VCR recording events (security) while parked in the driveway at night. Maybe even one of those small DSS dishes aimed right and modified with a 2.4 GHZ dipole antenna at the focal point could be used for super extended receiving ranges... 09-27-2003 14:43:54

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Vetco surplus just got another BIG shipment of intermec stuff!

Also a few more 2.4 ghz antennas One is a planar panel with about a 2' long pigtail that terminates in a cisco type pc card connector. $19.99. Tons more stuff there!!! If you live near Bellevue and are really into techie stuff you gotta visit this store! I usually spend $50 to $100 each visit... Tell em "CatMan" sent ya! 10-03-2003 09:14:53

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Rat shack has the Microsoft Wireless usb adapter (802.11b) MN-510 on clearance for $29.... 15-17 DBM Not really a fantastic deal but I bought on anyway. I'm using it posting this thread! Local mall free access! 03-09-2004 19:49:02

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Evidently the MN-510 is in short supply here... after some searching the store dude found a second one. I'm going to to semi-permanently attach this to the inside of my 2nd car windshield near the top. The antenna is movable and will clear any obstructions. I'm also going to swap the white usb cord with a black one to blend in along with the windshield seal better. It beats lugging the adapter from car to car with my small Averatec 3150H notebook. Gosh there is a lot of free hotspots here! Mini heat wave in Seattle! A whopping 57 F ~Tee shirt weather! 03-10-2004 12:20:50

ComputerStop has the Hawking Hi-Gain24 Wireless USB networking adapter H-WU36D advertised for $39.99 on their colorful big window sales flyer, Inside the store on the shelve it's marked $69.99...

Someone else may get the same deal if they have not corrected it yet...? I'm using it now connected to a wireless public access point sitting in a parking lot about 800-1000 ft away from the AP. Speed still 11mbps. Its very small and sits on my dashboard nicely. Placing it on the roof greatly improves signal strength! Not supported by NS. 03-20-2004 19:46:53

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Unless I missed something? looks like it's a time limited trial version only. MS typically distributes free FULL version NFR CD's with keycodes to major OEMS.

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile For those in Seattle/Bellevue areas... Vetco surplus just got in a VERY few BRAND NEW Intermec 5055 Rugged vehicle pc's. http://www.currentdirections.com/hardware/intermec/5055.html Dude just happened to put on on dislay while I was shopping there. Barebone unit's. No harddrive. No power cables. No antennas. (I have 2 cases of brand new power cables ) Color 10.4" TFT touch screen, 2 Pcmcia slots, and a slot for 2.5" harddrive. These are only P-133's with 512 cache and 128mb Ram. IMHO This would make a good Car GPS and Drive up e-mail station. (Several free WiFi sites here).

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) inx3us Profile ok, what's the giddy giving price and can you pick one up for me? 07-02-2004 22:13:44

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Cost me a Grant note, I had to haggle a bit (I'm a good customer). He said they will not sell ME any more at THAT price. They only had a few at that time and that was a few days ago. Some stuff there sells fast sometimes once the geeks find out about it. I don't know if there are any more left at this time or if they will be getting anymore. They get lot of stuff from Intermec. On stuff like this I typically buy 2, one is usually a learning curve (oops factor) and/or spare parts so IF I can get another for a Grant note, it will definately be for such purpose. They had a complete brand new unit with a 3gb Hdd, OS and wireless card w/antenna on e-bay recently and it sold last week for $400 +tax, so I got an excellent deal! You can try e-mailing or calling them, There website http://www.Vetcosurplus.com 07-03-2004 09:54:11

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile This may be a deal because if you look at the current selling price>http://www.systemid.com/barcode_products/6AA3J6.asp?source=INKTOM Vetco surplus has 17 more NEW Intermec 5055 Vehicle PC's, Spec's http://www.currentdirections.com/hardware/intermec/5055.html They are NOT on the floor yet, They MAY be headed to e-bay The Vetco units are barebones IE> NO HDD or Caddy, NO Win95 os, NO stand, NO Antennas, NO RF PC Card. Just the PC in the picture less the discribed missing items. (HDD caddy can be made fairly easy from sheet metal a real no brainer) I bought one of the first ones earlier last month for $50 (I made a cash offer ) I doubt very much if they will sell anymore at that price. YMMV... They recently sold one on e-bay for $399. I do not work for Vetco, Sorry, please don't ask for me to pick one up for you. I DO NOT want to deal with any possible hassles such as it's not what you wanted, shipping issues, Possible DOA, etc,etc. There website http://www.Vetcosurplus.com 07-11-2004 10:06:29

RE:Deals, Deals, Deals 4! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile OK, I'm venturing into really a grey area here, I imagine one could use this to mount somewhere on there modded i-appliance(s).....If they are really bored...Hmmm happy holiday decoration... But the best part is it was FREE! I rescued it from going to the trash. Hi intensity dual WHITE LED flasher module! Has 2 VERY BRITE white 10mm leds, module and 3 D batteries in a plastic holder. Got it by asking! Persistantly I might say. The "Keebler holiday express" snack display at your local grocery store. A cardboard train display with the flasher module mounted in the trains "headlight" area. The module itself has inline solder pads L1 thru L6. L4 is used for the leds. I suspect this is a sequencer module. Rate of sequence controlled by resistor. Thank you Albertson's grocery store. 11-28-2004 11:02:40
