Do you guys prefer extended warranty with 40-46" LCD TV's?

Fry's is selling 5 year extended warranty for $159 (when the TV is around $1000-$1200 range), Amazon is selling TV's for best prices all the time (if you consider no tax), but they don't provide service, you feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks stereo55, Yeah, its a good idea, I should read fine print properly before jumping in.

Bestbuy and Circuit are charging more for this, probably their coverage is better.

Also, since it uses a 1066MHz FSB speed (as opposed to the 1333MHz FSB of the newer Intel quad-cores), it can be overclocked VERY EASILY using a small piece of electrical tape (it's called a BSEL mod, Google it).
ECS GF7050VT-M doesn't need the BSEL mod to overclock the 1066-FSB CPUs. The BIOS menu offers FSB/memory clock adjustment down to MHz steps, either "linked" or "unlinked". Anyone can overclock with this board right out the box to the limit where the stock CPU voltage can support. The mobo doesn't support CPU voltage adjustment but one can always find the CPU voltage mod trick via google. One major negative of this board is it's single-channel memory bottleck. It cripples the CPU-memory performance severely so take note if you intend to use this combo to do intensive data computation (e.g. video processing).

BTW, Fry's no longer offers retail-boxed Q6600 in the combo deal. And recent 2008 batches are mediocre overclockers at best - don't expect to get them over 3.2GHz easily.

Are you sure it is an OEM CPU and not retail? I will check it out tomorrow, trying to build a budget PC. Am either going to get this or an E7200 and cheap mobo which will end up costing $175 but the CPU is retail.

Doesn't look like it . I've been watching that one too.

Did you not read the title B&M that means in-store.

Frys.com prices good for online purchases only. In-store items and prices at Fry's retail locations may vary. Some online offers are subject to prior sale and may not be available.

$699 - Samsung LN32A550 32" 1080P LCD HDTV

This one is actually advertised as $799 in the Atlanta area Labor Day ad today (999-200). The extra $100 makes a difference for me -- pass for now!

So none of the Samsung TV sales are available online?

Several of the rebate deals were NOT in my paper as well. I don't know if it's a misprint or what.

But the Q6600 is there, so I'll be grabbing that in a few minutes.
