Anyone ever bought one of the tents at sportsmansguide.com?

What type of camping are you going to use it for? One thing I saw, saw are the pole attachment points, I've always been a fan of sleeves rather than clips.

If you're looking for reviews on tents and such, check out backpacker.com. IIRC, it's got reviews for outdoor stuff. If not, do a google search for 'tent reviews'.

Personally I prefer clips but I gotta say...don't skimp on the tent or you'll be taking an unexpected shower in it.  I don't know a thing about that tent but I'd avoid it myself.  Who knows, it may be a good tent but if I don't know anything about a tent and it's super cheap then I don't want anything to do with it.  If you want a tent on a budget then check out some of the tents from Eureka, The North Face, REI, Kelty, Mountain Hardware, Sierra Designs etc... www.campmor.com and www.sierratradingpost.com are good sources  Look for taped seams and good ventilation.
