    The following has been going on for about a week or so now, but I'm surprised that it has not been posted.

    Good news for people who missed NewEgg's Intel X25-M 160GB G2 SSD (Retail) April Fool's Day $399.99 (with Free Shipping & before Bing Cashback) special. TigerDirect has got the same item (retail version) for $385.87 (with Free Shipping & after 12.3% Bing Cashback). You can also wait for TigerDirect's Bing Cashback to go up to 15% again to bring the total down to $373.99. However, this is something only you can decide.

    Link to product:
    http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5256783&CatId=5300

    Instructions to get to the deal (only for those who don't know how):
    1) To get to the product, use bing.com to search for "laptop" & click the TigerDirect spponsored link (for 12.3% Bing CB).
    2) Search for "X25-M" & select the one that says "Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH160G2R5 Solid State Drive - 160GB, SATA, 2.5", Retail."

    Note that this deal is a YMMV depending on whether TigerDirect charges sales taxes for the state you're located. Quoted from TigerDirect.com:

    Thanks for the post! Getting closer to my <$300 for 160GB but not quite there.

    Not bad, all things considered. Although it makes me sad, since I had thought my purchase a couple months back for $400 was a great buy. Sigh.


    And Wingnut, you've got PM.

    Bing Cashback can take up to 60 days to appear in your CB account.

    When and how do I get my Bing cashback reward?

    Hope that helps! :)
