    griffin powermate 19bucks

    Just an fyi since a lot of people post how it's so expensive at $50. Ecost has them for 19.99 and $10 off $30 or more.
    So, griffin powermate 19.99
    25ft vga cable 13.00
    -$10.00 google checkout
    total: $23.00

    That's not bad..

    read the reviews:
    "I mistakenly ordered..."
    "Needed to return.."
    etc etc

    I'll let you guys know how my order goes. I was actually on the phone with customer service for 30 mins inquiring about free shipping and the lady seemed nice and talked a lot. Apparently free shipping over 25 was an old promo and they dont do it anymore. Regardless, I got my free shipping and confirm via email.

    I never heard of that website but pricegrabber's review is not bad.

    Sorry to get off topic a bit, but has anyone pinned down the problems with the powermate? I had to wire a new usb hub under my steering wheel so I can unplug and plug it back in when it craps out.

    just an fyi to all,
    I placed my order the same day as the original post which was 12/26.
    My order went shipped 12/27 in the morning which is when I recieved the confirm email. I would post it but I dont have access to my server from work.
    I just checked DHL's tracking number and it is apparently at my house now.

    I'll report if they are refurbs or new when I go home. I'm really curious about the 25' vga cable and if it is high density or the normal one.

    Ok I just got home and see two boxes at my door. Ironically the griffin powermate was shipped in a box half the size as a the vga cables. The powermate is brand new in factory sealed packaging and the vga cables are in a ziplock baggy thing in a huge box. Invoice shows items shipped same day as when I ordered which was 3 days ago. I used ground shipping too. Ecost gets 2 thumbs up from me. =) Powermate I'm not sure yet as I'm not done configuring it. I didn't know the powermate only spins and goes up and down. No directional movement, but for 19 bucks I can't complain.

    I had issues with the powermate at first with the drivers on the cd. For some reason when I downloaded the ones from griffin's website it works great. I used the gml posted for rr and I'm happy to report it works awesome. =)

    i believe its a driver issue, there is a beta driver (win) floating around here somewhere that fixes it. Griffin never released the driver though (last i checked, long time ago). So you may want to check that you have the latest.

    speaking of powermates, 30bucks and shipping and you can have mine. Pretty much never used. PM me if anyone wants it.
