It's wired, not wireless, but is one of the best mice on the market today for general use (not just games) with an adjustable weight cartridge and good precision.
- D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Gaming Router for $96 with free shipping code EMCAJBKCH and a $20 mail-in rebate is available ($76 after rebate). They call it a "gaming" router, but it can handle more load than a standard router, giving better performance especially with 15+ megabit Internet connections.

(repost)

Seagate ST31000340AS 1TB (1000GB) Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $140 with free shipping. A great deal at $0.14/GB, includes a 5 year manufacturer's warranty (most other drives come with 3 years), and it has pretty good reviews. Most other stores sell 1TB drives for $170 to $200.

ZipZoomFly's ground shipping typically takes 5+ business days to arrive to the Eastern half of the US, and 3 days to the Western half. But one nice thing about ZipZoomFly's hard drives is a nice reusable foam casing the drive comes in, perfect to keep handy when transporting or storing a hard drive.

During checkout, if you select a credit card as the payment method, then click the text which offers a 4% discount if you use a Dell Preferred Account (Dell's own credit card), the price goes down to $105.60. You should pay off the balance quickly to avoid hefty finance charges, but saving only $4.40 may not be worth the hassle of dealing with another credit card.

Friday, August 15, 2008

Frys.com - Antec Laptop Computer Cooler for $-2 after rebate
(expired)

Antec Notebook Cooler S for $10 with free shipping, and a $12 mail-in rebate is available. It does not work as well as a plate covering the whole bottom (like this one), but is a great deal since other stores sell it for around $30.

Newegg.com - 1TB USB Hard Drive for $150
Hammer 1TB External USB2 Hard Drive is on sale today only for $150 with free shipping. Most 1TB external drives cost $180 to $200. The one has no fan so it should operate quietly. No user reviews are available on this product, but a similar Hammer 500GB USB Drive has mostly positive reviews.

(expired: sold out)

Maxtor 300GB Parallel-ATA (IDE) Hard Drive on clearance for $40 with free shipping after an automatic $10 couple applied in the cart.

This hard drive uses an old IDE interface rarely used on PCs these days, and may not work for some people.

Newegg.com - BlacX Hard Drive Docking Station $30 after rebate
(repost)

Thermaltake Blacx Serial-ATA Docking Station is back at $40 with free shipping, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available. The rebate must be mailed within 20 days of purchase.

This device can be very useful for some people. It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port, and lets you slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive. This makes it easy to create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups without taking up precious space on your computer's internal hard drive. Eject a drive without shutting down the computer, and store the drive in a safe place.

There is another model with a built-in 4-port USB Hub, but that one usually sells for around $45 to $50 and is much bigger. Unless you really need a USB hub, we do not recommend the more expensive model.

When hard drives are not plugged in, it is best to protect them from static damage. 50 Resealable Anti-Static Bags is available for $13.25 after shipping fee.

Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Computer Case for $60
On sale today is a Antec Three Hundred PC Case for $60 with free 3-day shipping. Antec makes great quality cases, and this one has a lot of very good reviews. It is just a bare case, without any included motherboard and power supply, but good PC cases like this usually cost around $100 after heafty shipping fees.

Update: An Antec case like this has a unusual design of placing the power supply at the bottom of the case. Because of this, the CPU cable on the power supply may need an extender to reach the motherboard. What you may need is called a 8-Pin EPS Extension Cable, and can cost between $5 and $10 after shipping fees.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Newegg.com - good deals today
- refurbished Brother MFC-240C Printer/Scanner/Fax for $35 today only. It is refurbished (repaired from a broken condition), but does include a 1 year manufacturer's warranty and new ones cost around $100.
- Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $90. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.14 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of very positive reviews.
- Western Digital 750GB 5400rpm Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100. Costs $0.133 per GB and operates quieter and cooler than many other drives, but its slow spin speed gives worse performance than a standard 7200rpm drive.
- Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset for $35 with promo code EMCAJAFBB . Other stores sell it for around $40.
- OCZ Stealthstream 600-Watt Power Supply for PCs for $74 with promo code EMCAJAFBE and a $35 mail-in rebate is available ($39 after rebate).

Monday, August 4, 2008

- 320GB External USB Hard Drive for $64 after coupon code software15 and ground shipping fee.

Newegg.com - 2x1GB DDR2 1066MHz OCZ Memory for $37
(expired)

Two of 1GB OCZ Platinum 1066MHz Computer Memory for desktop computers will be on sale for $37 with free shipping at 11am Eastern (8am Pacific) this morning. If you click this deal too early, a higher price will be displayed. This deal will likely sell out quickly. Each order is for a pair of 1GB modules (2GB total), and free shipping only applies when ordering up to 2 pairs.

This is by far the best deal we have ever seen on 2GB of memory capable of 1066MHz speed per module (capable of up to 2132 MHz in dual-channel mode), without requiring a mail-in rebate. This is superb memory for overclocking, especially for the price. For example, an Intel Quad Core Q6600 CPU normally runs its memory at 533MHz per module (1066MHz effectively in dual-channel), and a Q9300 CPU at 667MHz per module (1333MHz effectively in dual-channel). A nice motherboard's BIOS can increase the per-module MHz speed up to 1066MHz by increasing the voltage from its default of 1.8 volts to 2.3 volts. Overclocking does increase the heat produced by the motherboard, so quality cooling inside the computer is necessary when plunging into the world of overclocking a PC.

Update (11am EDT): The deal is not available at the expected time. It is likely they will put the deal up sometime this morning, but unknown when.

Update (11:40am EDT): This deal is now available for $37 with free shipping. Also be sure to check the shipping method selected during checkout, since the cheapest shipping option may not be automatically selected.

If you really want to save a few dollars, you can get a Crucial 2x1GB 1066MHz Memory for $50 from Frys.com with a $30 mail-in rebate available, ultimately costing $20 after waiting a few months for the rebate to arrive. Our recommendation is to go with the Newegg deal, a much better vendor and no waiting for a rebate.

Amazon.com - HOT! - 1TB External USB Hard Drive for $130
(expired: sold out)

SimpleTech S1000U 1TB (1000GB) External USB Hard Drive is on sale for $130 with free shipping. External 1TB hard drives usually go for around $170 to $230.

2GB 1066MHz Desktop Computer Memory for $37 tomorrow: Newegg is rumored to have a pair of 1GB 1066MHz OCZ Platinum DDR2 Memory on sale for $37 with free shipping tomorrow (Monday) morning.

Frys.com - Geforce 8800GTX 768MB Video Card $178
XFX Geforce 8800GTX 768MB PCIe Video Card for $170 plus about $8 shipping. This card is 2 generations old, replaced by 9800GTX which was recently replaced by a GTX 280, but still a decent deal less expensive than the newer models.

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Buy.com - 2x2GB Laptop Computer Memory for $47 after rebate
(expired: sold out from Buy.com)

A pair of 2GB memory for DDR2 laptop computers (4GB total) at a normal price of $72 with free shipping, and a $25 mail-in rebate is available. That's a very good price for 4GB of laptop memory.

Laptops designed in 2005 and later should be compatible with DDR2 memory like these. You can enter your laptop model number into a Memory Configurator Tool to see if your laptop is compatible with DDR2, as opposed to DDR which is a completely different technology.

Newegg.com - good deals today
USB Flash Drives:
- Super Talent 8GB USB Flash Drive for $19. This is a hot deal and will likely sell out quickly, since 8GB USB Flash Drives usually go for $25 to $35. Update (4pm EDT): The 8GB Flash Drive is now sold out at that price.

(expired)

(repost)

Available again is a Dell E248WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $337 when using code GDQB$JJST9FXSH in the cart. This is an excellent monitor with great reviews, DVI input, and a 3 year warranty. Most other stores sell 24" LCD monitors for $350 to $400.

Update (7/31): Price lowered a few dollars down to $330 after coupon. Updated title with new price.

Newegg.com - 750GB Serial-ATA hard drive for $100
(expired: 7/31)

(repost)

Back again is a Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with free shipping, a great deal at under $0.14 per GB plus a 5 year warranty.

If noise is a concern, Seagate may not be the ideal hard drive choice for use as a primary/bootup drive. Although it does operate nearly silent when playing movies & music, when idle, and when used with a BlacX docking station.

Newegg.com - 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85
(expired: 7/31)

(repost)

Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85 when using coupon EMCAHCFAD with free shipping. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.13 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of positive reviews.

Costco.com - 28" LCD HDTV Monitor for $500 or $525
(expired)

Viewsonic 28" 1080p LCD HDTV Monitor is on sale for $500 with free shipping for Costco members. Non-Costco members can also buy it with a 5% surcharge ($525 total), but it may just be worthwhile to pay $50 for a 1 year Costco membership. Most other stores sell it for around $100 more. It has no built-in tuner, so it can only be used with cable/fios box, satellite service, or as a 28" computer monitor.

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

Newegg.com - DVD Burner for $24
Lite-On 20x DVD Burner for $24 with free shiping.

Friday, July 25, 2008

Frys.com - Antec P180B Tower Case for $58 after rebate
(expired: 8pm EDT, price raised)

(repost)

Back again for today is an Antec P180B (P180 Black) Mid-Tower Computer Case is on sale for $80 plus about $18 shipping, and a $40 manufacturer's mail-in rebate is available. It's one of the best cases on the market today for home-built computers. Other stores sell it for around $100 to $130. Detailed product information can be read on SilentPCReview.com.

In this case, buying an internal power extension cable may be needed to reach between the power supply and motherboard. For example, we found a 8-pin EPS Extension Cable was necessary to reach between our Corsair 520HX and a Abit IP35 Pro motherboard. Besides that, overall this is one of the best cases on the market with great interior cooling, and highly recommended for home PC builders.

Staples.com - 22" LCD Computer Monitor for $200
(repost)

V7 D22W12 22" LCD Widescreen Computer Monitor is available again at $200 with free shipping. Check your email if you received a coupon from Staples within the last couple weeks, which could work to get this monitor for cheaper. If you have no coupon, you can get a Tower of Treats for free with coupon 61777.

The specs on Staples show only VGA (D-Sub) input on the monitor, but the manufacturer's specs and reviews show it does have a DVI input, although does not include a DVI cable.

PCMicroStore.com - $3 off $6
(expired)

New coupon code $3off gives $3 off a $6 purchase, and expires today. Limit one use per mailing address. A good deal to stock up on some cables:
- Cat-5e 10/100/1000 Ethernet Cables

Newegg.com - 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive just dropped to $85 when using coupon EMCAHCFAD with free shipping. That's a $5 pricedrop in the last 2 weeks, and $25 less than the price it was during the beginning of June. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.13 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100. It has hundreds of positive reviews, some of the highest ratings we have seen lately for a large capacity hard drive priced this low. Code is limited to one drive per account.

The above drive is our recommendation for someone looking for performance and overall the best value. If you are looking for another kind of drive, here are some other very good promos available:
- Seagate 250GB Serial-ATA Drive for $55 ($0.22/GB) with code EMCAHCFAB .
- Western Digital 500GB Serial-ATA Drive for $75 ($0.15/GB) with code EMCAHCFAF
- Seagate 1TB Serial-ATA Drive for $180 ($0.18/GB) with code EMCAHCFAC .
- Samsung 1TB Serial-ATA Drive for $170 ($0.17/GB) with code EMCAHCFAE . Reviews are mixed.
If noise is a concern, Seagate may not be the best choice despite their generous 5 year warranty. Seagate drives can become noisy when doing lots of simultaneous tasks like when used as a primary/bootup (C:) drive, but do operate nearly silent when playing movies & music, when idle, and when used with a BlacX docking station.

Newegg.com - 2x1GB DDR2 1066MHz Memory $40 after rebate
A pair of OCZ Reaper UPC 1GB DDR2 Desktop Computer Memory for $65 after coupon code MEM7244 with free shipping, and a $25 mail-in rebate is available. However, be aware that OCZ rebates must be mailed within 12 days of purchase, which only gives you about 1 week from the day you receive your order. It's a great deal, but only if you are sure you can mail in the rebate by the end of next week. A pair of 1GB 1066MHz memory usually sells for around $60.

Dell.com - 24" LCD Monitor for $337
(expired)

(repost)

Dell E248WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor is back at $337 when using code $J$JT1DM?KLQDX in the cart. This is an excellent monitor with great reviews, DVI input, and a 3 year warranty. Most other stores sell 24" LCD monitors for $350 to $400.

Their 3 year warranty is actually very good. If Dell is unable to resolve the monitor's problem over the phone, they will ship a free replacement to you, then you use their pre-paid shipping label and the new monitor's box to ship the broken monitor back to Dell.

CircuitCity.com - Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $30
(expired: 7/25)

(repost)

Now on sale for $30 after using coupon 8MAJTZLA9L during checkout. To get the deal, begin to checkout with one of these in your cart, on the page which asks for a credit card number click "Yes" next to the question "Would you like to use an eGift card, gift card or merchandise card, or apply a coupon?" and enter the coupon code.

It is rare to find this popular item sold under $40 these days.

This device can be very useful for some people. It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port, and lets you slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive. This means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, eject the drive, and store it in a safe place rather than taking up room on your computer's internal hard drive.

For a great hard drive deal compatible with the BlacX, a 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive is available for $100, which is just under $0.14 per GB.

Newegg.com - HOT! - DVD Burner (IDE) for $19
(expired: 10:30am EDT, sold out)

Sony DRU180A 18x CD/DVD Burner on sale for $19 with free shipping. It has good reviews, and will likely sell out sometime early this morning. This drive uses the old IDE interface, also known as Parallel-ATA, and may not be compatible with some newer computers which only have Serial-ATA interfaces. If your name brand desktop computer is within 3 years old, chances are it will not be compatible with this drive. Check your computer or motherboard manual for an "IDE" port.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

CircuitCity.com - Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $33
On sale for $33 with free shipping. This device could be found for around $25 after rebate a couple months ago, but now it is rare to find anyone selling it for under $40 especially after factoring shipping fees (probably because of its popularity), although Microcenter stores now sell it for $40 with a $10 mail-in rebate available.

This device can be very useful for some people. It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port, and lets you slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive. This means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, eject the drive, and store it in a safe place. For example, say you filmed several hours of videos with your digital camcorder and do not want the videos taking up space on your computer's internal drive, you can store all those videos on another Serial-ATA hard drive, enclose the drive in an anti-static bag and keep in a safe place. A hard drive can store stuff easier and quicker than burning DVDs, and being able to quickly slide in & out hard drives without rebooting the computer can be very handy for some people with lots of data storage needs. Its USB2 interface can transfer around 25 MBytes/sec, which is about 1.5 GB per minute, or about 100GB per hour.

Newegg.com - 750GB Serial-ATA hard drive for $100
(expired: 7/24)

(repost)

Back again for today:
- Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code HD72220 . Has a very nice 5 year warranty, but Seagate drives operate louder other drives when undergoing heavy usage. That comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Samsung 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code HD702220 . That also comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal. Has double the cache size as the Seagate, and may perform slightly better.
Codes are each limited to one use per account.

Update (12pm EDT): If you intend to use drives like these for removable storage rather than inside a computer, like with a BlacX docking station, it may be a good idea to pick up some anti-static bags. Newegg's drives do come in a factory sealed anti-static bag, but are not re-sealable. There are some nicer bags available with zip-loc tops. StaticBags.com sells a 50-pack of 6x8 Zip-Loc Top Anti-Static Bags for $8.45 plus $4.75 shipping ($13.20) through their website and through Ebay. We found their bags very handy for safekeeping removable hard drives, and that store has superb reviews on Ebay. Although these bags provide no cushion protection from violent impacts.

Newegg.com - DVD Burner Drive for $25 or $28
(expired)
- Samsung 22x DVD Burner for $25
- Lite-On 20x DVD Burner with Lightscribe for $28
Can read and write DVDs and CDs, and very good deals if you have a PC without a DVD burner. Will not fit in laptop computers and some "slim" desktop computers which may require a slim-line drive.

Walmart - 500GB USB Hard Drive for $89 in-store
(expired: 7/21)

Western Digital 500GB External USB Hard Drive for $89 online and in-store. It's a great deal if picked up in-store, since most 500GB drives cost around $110. In-store inventory can be looked up online.

Walmart charges $7 for delivery. If you want one shipped, it may be better to buy one from Newegg.com for $100 with free 3-day shipping, and sales tax only for recipients in NJ, TN, CA, and NY.

ZipZoomFly.com - D-Link Cablemodem for $32 after rebate
(expired)

A great deal on one of the best cable modems on the market. Price is $44 plus about $8 shipping ($52), and a $20 mail-in rebate is available. It is not compatible with Comcast's "Powerboost" feature, but works really well on other cable networks. Most cable companies provide their cable modem, or you can use your own (like this one) and avoid renting their cheap cable modem.

After this cable modem was recommended by a couple cable technicians and online reviewers, we paired it with 20 megabit service and a D-Link DGL-4100 Router, and consistently achieved 20 megabit download speeds without any problems. The D-Link DGL-4100 Router is available for $74 after rebate and coupon code ROUTER7146 at Newegg, or at ZipZoomFly for about the same cost if ordered with the cable modem.

Update (7/19): Price on the cablemodem raised $3, to $47 plus $8 shipping ($55), and the $20 rebate is still available ($35 after rebate).

Also a 60-pack Glossy 4x6 Photo Paper for $4.50, free shipping with the $50+ order.

Newegg.com - Antec 380-Watt PC Power Supply $40
Antec Earthwatts 380-Watt Power Supply for desktop PCs for $40 with free shipping. It usually sells for around $50, has a excellent reviews and reliability record. 380 watts is plenty of power components in most basic desktop computers, but you can use their wattage calculator to check.

Also a Rosewill 400-Watt PC Power Supply for $33 with free shipping and great reviews. When buying a power supply, pay more attention to its reliability reviews, and less to maximum wattage rating. Power supplies with better reviews can actually power your computer more reliabily than ones with higher wattage ratings.

Newegg.com - great deals today
(expired: most have expired)

There are some really great deals today at Newegg, some of which may sell out early this morning.

Monitors:
- Sceptre 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $190 with promo code EMCAHBFAD . Finding a 22" monitor priced under $200 is rare these days, and this deal may sell out quickly.
Printers:
- Brother MFC-465CN Printer/Scanner/Fax for $70. Every other store sells it for over $100, and this deal will likely sell out sometime today.
- Samsung CLP-300 Color Laser Printer for $230 with promo code EMCAHBFBC and a $150 mail-in rebate is available. Paying $80 for a color laser printer is a very good deal (if you remember to mail in the rebate), however keep in mind replacing the color toner cartridges can cost as much as the printer itself (about $74), and this printer only provides about 1,000 color pages per refill. The laser gives good quality as mentioned in the product reviews on Newegg, but keep in mind color inkjet printers are more economically friendly.
Hard Drives
- Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code EMCAHBFBK . Has a very nice 5 year warranty, but Seagate drives operate louder than most other drives. That comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Samsung 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code EMCAHBFCA . That also comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $90. At a cost of $0.14 per GB, this is one of the best deals around for one of the best hard drives on the market. It is one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of positive reviews on Newegg.
DVD and Blu-Ray Drives
- Lite-On Blu-Ray Reader Drive for $110 with promo code EMCAHBFCB
- Samsung USB External DVD Burner for $55. A great deal for a USB based DVD burner.
- DVD Burners for $25 to $35
Networking
- Linksys 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch for $40 with coupon EMCAHBFDA . Used for wired networking computers in a room without having to buy a second router or wireless cards.
- D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Router for $94 with promo code ROUTER7146 and a $20 mail-in rebate is available ($74 after rebate). No wireless capability, but if Internet performance is of utmost importance, especially if you pay for a fast 10-megabit or 20-megabit Internet connection, this is one of the best routers available in the sub-$100 price point. We tested one of these on a 20-megabit cablemodem connection, and consistently achieved 20-megabit speeds. A $45 Linksys router fluctuated between 8 and 18 megabits with the same downloads.
Electronics and peripherals
- Up-Convert 1080p DVD Player for $60 with promo code EMCAHBFAC . Other stores sell it refurbished for more.
- Rosewill USB Mouse for $5 with free shipping code EMCAHBFBE
- Antec True Power Trio 650-Watt PC Power Supply for $60 after promo code EMCAHBFCH . A 650-Watt PSU with good reviews is very rare to find at $60 without any rebate requirements. Update: Sold out.
Laptops:
- HP Pavilion DV6755US 15" Laptop Computer for $666 after coupon EMCAHBFBA and shipping fee, and a $50 mail-in rebate is available ($616 after rebate). Pretty good specs for the price: Core 2 Duo T5450, 2GB memory, 250GB hard drive, DVD Burner, webcam, 6-cell battery. Other stores sell it for around $1000.
Video cards:
- EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card for $189 after shipping fee, and a $30 mail-in rebate is available ($159 after rebate). That is a $30 pricedrop since last month, and the card has superb reviews.
Also 10% off all $100+ Computer Power Supplies with coupon EMCPSPROMO .

Update (7/16): Every one of these Newegg deals have expired, except:
- D-Link Gigabit Router $74 after rebate with code ROUTER7146
- Western Digital 640GB Hard Drive still at $90
- DVD Burners went up in price slightly, but still $26 to $35.
- EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB Card still at $159 after rebate.

These days, blank Blu-Ray media are about $7 to $15 per 25GB Blu-Ray disc ($0.30 to $0.60 per GB). This can be useful to create and copy Blu-Ray movie discs, but the cost per disc may be too expensive for general data storage.

(expired)

A pair of 1GB DDR2 800MHz Crucial Ballistix Tracer CAS-4 memory for desktop computers for $60 with free shipping, and a $40 mail-in rebate is available. This memory flashes multi-colored LED lights while processing memory, kind of neat to see but only visible while the computer's case is open or on computer cases with a see-through side window.
