The only problem is the pages will become outdated rather quickly sometimes. Maybe some type of deals section could be added?

Like mentioned, they are in store only right now. And I don't think that MicroCenter ships to Canada either.

And B737, from my experience, MicroCenter tends to keep their deals for a while, or ones pretty similiar to it. They had a Q6600 at $200 for ages before newegg got that low.

It is a really nice deal. Their price has actually been at $100 for a while. When I got my P182 it was like $70 after MIR, and the rebate was $35.

Another deal on an Antec case:
Antec Sonata III case with 500W EarthWatts Power Supply - only $79.99 at MicroCenter, no rebates
Save $50 off the Newegg price
http://microcenter.c...duct_id=0257459
And a deal on a Cooler Master case:
CM 690 case - Only $40 after MIR at MicroCenter
Save $35 off the newegg price after rebate, save $20 before rebate.

Yeah I can't believe it for $100 you can have 8GB of DDR2-800 RAM!  I used that set for 3 of my customer builds and I purchased them for $79 not too long ago.

I get what you mean Learjet. It's just not enough of an upgrade to be worth the $50 or more that you could use on something more important.
