ispgeek Posted October 22, 2006 CID Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hmmmmm....well....see if it does the job and if not take'r back.....I tend not to buy much from CompUSA for two reasons....I don't do the rebate thing....and they are higher priced than Newegg (when I die...please let heaven be a newegg store).

MYRIAGON Posted October 22, 2006 CID Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Myself I would take it back......You're not getting what you paid for. I did a search on both model #'s and the mad dog was about $70 and the Samsung model is about half that price... If you got it cheaper than that and happy with it's performance, then keep it and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
