Check out this datasheet. Mfr claims $149 price not $249

Buy.com is using a bit of price inflation to get buyers hooked. $149 price is validated at CompUSA.com

Yeah, this is a fairly lukewarm deal, but it's still less than anyone else on pricegrabber, and don't forget no tax ($10 in my state). If you're in the market, it's worth checking out. OMax carried this, too, so somebody may be able to get a PM deal out of it with a $25 code.

Useful with Win Media Center Edition

If you can get your hands on a copy of Windows Media Center Edition (via MSDN) you will need one of about three different video cards. This is one of them. Very nice!

That's where I bought mine, might be an in-store item only. You could call CustServ and see. They're weird about that.
