CircuitCity.com - Centon 512MB DDR SDRAM Desktop Memory Module $19.99 After Rebates. HOT

Circuit City has the Centon 512MB DDR SDRAM Desktop Memory Module (Item# 512MBDDR) selling for $79.99 with a $25 Centon rebate (exp. 5/31/03 - original UPC) and a $35 CC rebate (exp. 5/31/03 - copy of UPC) making your cost just $19.99. PC1600 and PC2100 compatible and works with both DDR266 and DDR200 front side bus speeds. Search for 512MBDDR.

They don't have it in stock for shipping, but I just ordered for local pickup and they had it locally.

I picked up the Centon 512mb DDR yesterday at CircuitCity, and I was pleased to note that the actual label on the SIMM is PC2700, even though the packaging says PC1600/2100.

It's on the front page of their sale flyer....maybe not an online order option at that price. 2014-85555/2034-6127 shows as the item number.

Spend some money and make some money deals.


Amazon.com - Microsoft Money 2003 Standard Make $10 After Rebate.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000069IL4/
Amazon has Microsoft Money 2003 Standard selling for $24.99 with a $10 Mfg rebate
http://www.microsoft.com/insider/reb...ctRebateID=277
(exp. 8/15/03 - form in box) and a $20 Amazon rebate
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...8.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
(exp. 6/14/03 - limit 3) making your cost $-5.01. But now the crazy part of this deal. In the middle of the product screen they are offering the bundle of this software along with TaxCut 2002 Standard for just $19.99. So use the "Buy both and save" button on the MS Money product page to purchase it with TaxCut at the price of $19.99 and send in your $30 of rebates and make $10.01 and just toss the useless TaxCut software. Buy more pay less - lets hope they start doing it with more things!

# PowerDVD XP 4.0 Standard Upgrade from PowerDVD 2.5 or Up Multi-channel (download) = $-4.99 after rebates.
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005UL1A/
$20 rebate (exp. 6/14/03)
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...8.LZZZZZZZ.jpg


# Roxio VideoWave Movie Creator
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006GTDU/
selling for $39.99 with a $30 Mfg. rebate
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
(exp. 12/31/03 - original UPC) and a $20 Amazon rebate
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...8.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
(exp. 6/14/03 - copy of UPC) = $-10.01.

# MovieShop 6 selling for $15.99
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006I52R/
with this $20 upgrader rebate
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg
(exp. 12/31/03) = $-4.01. (VideoWave above will make you eligible for upgrade rebate)


# Amazon rebates do not require that you cut out UPC so items that only have Amazon rebates can be sold on eBay as new to make some money!
Spend $91 and get back $121 around 25% in a few months, better than putting your money in the bank.

hey man, i bought that alum case from computergeeks that you had up as deal of the day a while ago. It looks cool and all, but it really sucks. I'm not blaming your or anything, but it came with a dead power supply first off. Then when I was removing the front panel to install my fanbus and DVD (with a back up 350 watt power supply), the crappy pieces of plastic snapped. 4 out of 6 of them. Wow does this case suck. I'm not blaming you or anything man, keep up the good work with the posting, but I'm just warning anyone who's planning on buying this case. I may try to RMA it, but I doubt it'll work. Oh well

Tim

oh, no problem man, im not blaming you. Im just telling people who may want to buy it not to. It ended up costing me almost $50 (including S&H) and really wasn't worth it. On the page though, it looked like a great deal.

Keep up the good work
