Wow, now this is something I can get behind: a $99 acoustic guitar and mandolin pack with free shipping. Think about it: once we reach the nadir of this depression, bloggers will have to become roving troubadours singing tales of the Silicon Bowl and busking for nickels near train depots. → Read More
Did you miss last week’s Woot for the $80 Flip? Fear not, citizen, for Buy.com has the Flip Video Ultra F260 for $89.99. (Buy.com notes that it usually retails for $199.99.) It’s refurbished, meaning that if you give it as a gift it’s a sign that you really don’t love them person, so there’s that. → Read More
Stevie didn’t announce a low priced MacBook the other day, but since he did launch new hardware, the older, but still capabile, models are dropping in price. Take this 13.3-inch MacBook for example. It only has 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo, 1 GB of ram and 120GB hard drive, but what else would you expect for this low of a price? Throw some more RAM in there and you have a great deal. A $75 rebate drops the $944 starting price down to $869 and it comes with free shipping. Sure, it doesn’t have a fancy pants glass trackpad and might be made out of *gasp* plastic, but it’s still one hell of a deal. → Read More
Check it: for $249, you get the BD Live-capable BDP-1500 Blu-ray player and the Ultimate Matrix Collection Blu-ray edition for the same price as the player alone. This is one hell of a deal from Circuit City and probably signals that retailers are willing to throw almost anything to move Blu-ray players. Either go into a local Circuit City store or select both the Samsung BDP-1500 along with the collection on its website to buy this CrunchDeal. → Read More
Note: this Newegg deal is while supplies last so when it goes live at 11:00 EST or 8:00 PST, jump on it fast. An 8GB SD card for 10 bucks is a hell of a deal, especially with free shipping. via GearDiary → Read More
A 16-zone Creston system will run you a lot of coin – or you can pick up this chump’s system on Craigslist. I wonder if he used to work for Lehmans Brothers and needs to his McMansion’s mortgage payment. I have a Crestron system currently installed in my house that I would like to sell. All components are in excellent working condition, one Amplifier has two small cosmetic scratches as seen in the first image. Craiglist via CEPro → Read More
Damn, that’s hot! If you’re not running a crazy system that needs more than 500 watts of power (you’d know if you do), you might just upgrade here. I’m thinking about it. OCZ StealthXStreams are good PSUs and very quiet, and then getting two DDR-2 6400 DIMMs into the deal for a dollar less? Yes, with the $20 combo discount and the two $25 rebates, you pay less for both than you would for just the PSU. That’s crazy talk, my friend. [via NVNews] Update: To be precise: the deal is at Newegg. You buy the combo deal detailed on either of the product pages linked, get $20 off the total instantly, then send in for $50 back. That’s $70 off $109. → Read More
Note: this dock will not work with the Apple iPhone 3G, only the original, flat-backed version. So if you happen to want another dock for your cube or gf’s house, $5 shipped isn’t a bad deal. It comes via Today’s Closeout, so just like Woot, this deal is only ’till they last or the clock strikes midnight. → Read More
Ah, plummeting technology prices. Time was, you couldn’t get a 24-inch monitor for under $800. Now you can grab one for just under $250. Sure, it’s a Soyo, but has Soyo ever done you wrong? If not, why not give Soyo a chance? Here’s what you get if you were to walk into Office Max and buy this monitor: 24" Widescreen SXGA TFT LCD Display 1920 x 1200 Native Screen Resolution 1000:1 Contrast Ratio 2ms Response Time 500 nits Brightness 2 x 1 Watt Stereo Speakers 170 degrees Horizontal, 178 degrees Vertical Viewing Angle 40,000 Hour backlight lifespan (typical) 15-pin mini D-sub VGA and DVI-D connections AC 100-240 Volts, 60 / 50 Hz Voltage, 100 Watts (max) Power Consumption 1-Year Limited warranty on LCD, parts and labor Windows Vista Certified No rebates needed, either.

Buy.com has the refurbished 20GB Xbox 360 for a mere $200 (free shipping too). It’s the non-HDMI version, so keep that in mind. But if you’re looking to get into an Xbox 360 on the cheap, this appears to be a pretty good deal. Microsoft Xbox 360 Premium System – Recertified [Buy.com via dealnews] → Read More
Remember high-definition radio? It’s still around. If you want to experience high-definition radio, now’s your chance. The iLuv i68 HD Radio with Dual Alarm Clock can be yours for only $39.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate. If you’ve never heard of HD Radio, you’re not alone. And if you think that there’s nothing good on regular radio nowadays, you won’t like HD Radio because it’s still the same Fergie song played 25 times each day, except in stunning high-quality audio. Same commercials, too. iLuv i168 HD Radio with Dual Alarm Clock [Buy.com via dealnews] → Read More
More laptop deals this weekend, as Office Depot has the 15.4-inch HP Pavilion dv6910us for $529.99 after two mail-in rebates totalling $170. Specs look good: AMD Turion processor (64-bit, dual-core), 3GB of RAM, 200GB hard drive, double-layer DVD burner with LightScribe, Bluetooth, wireless, 5-in-1 card reader, and Vista Home Premium. The notebook weighs just over six pounds, which I suppose isn’t too bad for a big 15.4-inch screen. HP Pavilion dv6910us [Office Depot] via dealnews → Read More
Circuit City has a 15.4-inch Acer Extensa laptop for $399.99 with no rebate-like strings attached. It’s a Circuit City Outlet item, so supplies might be a tad limited. Specs look pretty nice: Dual-core Intel processor, 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, DVD burner, and Vista Home Premium. I’d upgrade the RAM right away but other than that, it looks like it’s good to go. Again, it’s an outlet item so they might not last long. Acer Extensa EX5620-4025 15.4" Widescreen Laptop [Circuit City via Fatwallet] → Read More
Looking to get into the GPS game for under a hundred bucks? Newegg has the Initial GM-351 GPS system with 3.5-inch touchscreen for just shy of $80. Why so cheap? Well, apparently the maps are from a few years ago and they’re not currently updateable. That might just be a deal breaker for some people. However, if you live in an area of the country that fears change, especially as it pertains to road construction, then $80 for a GPS unit with voice guidance and a relatively large touchscreen seems like a pretty good deal.
