    That's too bad. :eek:

    Luckily I got mine earlier today. Indeed it's a Kingston 4GB DataTraveler flash drive. Not sure what the SDHC card is though. If anyone has already printed out their coupon, you redeem it at the checkout counter. They have stacks of USB flash drives and they just take it out from one of the drawers. No packaging or instructions, just the drive itself. It's free, so I won't complain :)

    I just picked up a 4GB SDHC card (2 actually: one with my office address, one with my home address). They are Micro Center brand and are labelled Class 2. We'll see how they perform.

    By the way, I searched for the information printed on the back side of the card and found this exact match:

    http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/287610215/SDHC_4GB_Samsung_Original.html

    This product appears to be manufactured by Samsung.

    I wish I lived near a Micro Center. They have such good deals. Like this Core i7 930 CPU for only $199. Everywhere else its $280+!

    Micro Center - Intel Core i7-930 Processor Boxed

    Maybe someone who lives near one could be kind enough to pick one up for me. ;)

    Yeah, I was very tempted to upgrade my i7-920 with the 930. The only reason why I'm hesitant is because I'm unsure about the 930's OCing capability. My current 920 can be OCed to 4GHz with just air cooling so it wouldn't be much of an upgrade if I receive a "bad" 930 chip that isn't as easy to OC.

    Micro Center is great. Often times their deals are much cheaper than newegg. Currently there's a deal for a free motherboard with a purchase of an AMD CPU. :)

    Given the extra cost for tax and shipping, I think it's not far off if you purchased an 930 from ebay w/ bing cashback.

    I'd be happy to. It's 6% (~$12) sales tax in Michigan, plus ~ $10 for shipping, $222 + maybe a few bucks for packing material, etc. So $230! Still cheaper than most places. Although Bing cashback does help, but you don't have to wait for the cashback!
