After receiving the drives, check the drive's serial numbers at Seagate.com to see if a firmware patch is available to help avoid data loss.

Microcenter - in-store deals
(repost)

Some great deals if you happen to be near one of their 21 stores:
- Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $80 in-store.
- eMachines 14" Laptop Computer for $300 in-store with Athlon 2650e processor, 2GB memory, CD/DVD Burner, 160GB hard drive.
- Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz CPU for $230 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $280.
- Windows 7 Upgrade $40 for Home, $90 for Professional. Come into a Microcenter today or tomorrow and ask for a Windows 7 Upgrade coupon. Return to the store with the coupon between Oct 22 through Nov 4 to get the upgrade for that price. THis deal is about $10 less than what other stores (like Newegg) are selling Windows 7 for, but the other stores may be better deals to save the hassle of going to the store twice.

Newegg.com - deals today
- 10% off of PC motherboards
- Nokia Bluetooth Headset for $16, and a $15 Visa Prepaid Card is available by mail-in rebate. The reviews are not that great though.
- two refurbished Netgear WNHDE111-100NAR 5GHz Wireless-N Access Point/Bridge for $50. Note these are refurbished (not new) units, and include only a 3 month warranty. However it's still a great deal worth mentioning since each new one costs about $54, and they have very good reviews as a pair of access points (for spreading wifi throughout a home or office) and as bridges (for networking rooms without running wires throughout the home or office).
- Windows 7 Home Premium pre-order for $50.
- Windows 7 Professional pre-order for $100.
We are happy to report the previews of Windows 7 are pretty good, and seems to be the stable, solid operating system of Windows XP without its disk threashing issues, and without the stability issues that plagued Vista. It is also nice to see Microsoft coming out with a good product that focuses on functionality rather than copying someone else's ideas, especially after such a mess with Vista which was a failed attempt to copy the Mac OS, a redesign of Microsoft Office which seemed to confuse most people, and the recent launch of Bing Travel which is just a ripoff of Kayak.com.

Dell.com - deals today
- Dell G2410 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $139. Add it to the cart at $150 then a $11 discount automatically appears. This is a great price for a 24" monitor. Update (1pm EDT): Price no longer available.
- Logitech Dinovo Wireless Keyboard for $48 plus $11 shipping if this is the only item in the order. It's a great deal at $59 after shipping fee, since other stores sell it for around $100.

Newegg.com - Radeon HD 4350 512MB Video Card & $15 Visa Card for $30 after rebate

A $15 Visa Prepaid Card is available by mail-in rebate which lets you spend the $15 anywhere Visa is accepted, within one year.

- Hitachi 1TB Hard Drive for $67.50 with coupon EMCHDD10A . A great deal at about 6.8 cents per GB.
- Seagate 1TB Hard Drive for $81 with coupon EMCHDD10A . This two-platter model ending in "528AS" does not have the widespread firmware-crashing problems found in Seagate's "333AS" model (333GB per platter). This is a great deal on one of the best performing 1TB hard drives on the market.
- Western Digital Black 1TB Hard Drive for $90 with coupon EMCHDD10A . Rated one of the best, and has a 5 year warranty.
- Western Digital 2TB Green Hard Drive for $230 with coupon EMCHDD10A . A very good deal at 11.5 cents per GB.
The one coupon code can be used on more than one drive in a single order, but has a $10 savings limit and can only be used once per person. The "Green" drives operate at a slower 5400rpm speed, more energy efficient and give off less heat, but perform slower than a standard hard drive. Green drives are perfect for file storage (backups, MP3s, videos), but the operating system and applications will perform better if installed on a faster drive.

Newegg.com - 500-Watt Power Supply upgrade for some Dell PCs $68
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 500-Watt Dell Upgrade Power Supply for $80 with free shipping, and coupon code JUNSAVE15 gives $12 off in the cart. It is meant to replace a power supply within many Dell desktop/tower computer models including Inspiron 530/531 and Vostro 200/400 series, but not the slim model of Dell computers. The
manufacturer's website has a list of of compatible computers by clicking "compatible Dell models" on the right site of their page. This power supply has two PCIe power connectors, and is powerful enough for a high-end 3D graphics card, such as a Radeon 4000 series or GTX 200 series which most standard Dell power supplies can not handle.

ZipZoomFly.com - Western Digital 1TB Hard Drive & $15 Card for $103 or $73 after rebate
Western Digital Black 1TB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $103 with free shipping. A $15 Visa Prepaid Card is available by mail-in rebate form. Unlike ZipZoomFly, we do not consider this deal as $88 after rebate because a $15 Visa Prepaid Card is just like getting a gift card with an expiration date, rather than getting cash back which could be used toward paying off your credit bill.

If you choose eBillMe during checkout, they take $30 off the purchase price, making it $73. However applying for a new online credit is not recommended for someone thinking of leasing or financing something big for the next 6 months, or for someone looking to repair their credit.

Newegg.com - hard drive deals
Hard Drives
- Samsung 1TB Serial-ATA 5400rpm Hard Drive for $70 with coupon EMCLTMM28

- Western Digital RE3 1TB Serial-ATA 7200rpm Hard Drive for $140 with coupon EMCLTMM37 . 5 year warranty. These RE3 drives can operate more reliability in a RAID configuration with data redundancy, such as RAID levels 1, 5, 6, and 10, but its TLER feature should not improve reliability in RAID-0.

eWiz.com - $15 off $100, code: SIZZLE15
Coupon SIZZLE15 gives $15 off any $100+ order. Cannot apply toward Western Digital drives.

Dell.com - two 1.5TB Hard Drives $200
Two-pack of Seagate 1.5TB Serial-ATA Hard Drives for $270 with free shipping, and coupon code MZ7$L7$7DCG5BC gives $70 off in the cart. A great deal at $0.07 per GB, but the drive has some negative reviews involving data loss. After receiving the drives, check with Seagate.com to see if a firmware patch is available to help prevent data loss.

Newegg.com - deals today
- Logitech Ultra-Thin Illuminated USB Keyboard for $70 with coupon EMCLTLX46 and a $30 mail-in rebate is available ($40 after rebate). This is a great deal, since it usually sells for around $70 without an available rebate. It has great reviews, and we like ours because of its design and the comfortable key compression. It is similar to typing on a laptop keyboard or one of the new Mac keyboards.
- Kingston 2GB USB Flash Drive for $7 with free shipping code EMCLTLX63
- Kingston 8GB USB Flash Drive for $15.50 with coupon EMCLTLX64
- Corsair Survivor 8GB USB Flash Drive for $27. Water resistant up to 200 meters, and durable enough to function after being run over by a car.

eWiz.com - BlacX Hard Drive Docking Station for $28
(repost)

Thermaltake BlacX ST0005U eSATA/USB Docking Station for Serial-ATA Hard Drives for $38 with free shipping, and coupon code SLAMDUNK10 gives $10 off in the cart. Most other stores sell it for at least $40 plus shipping.

This is a great deal for someone with a lot of data storage or backup needs. It turns any 2.5" or 3.5" Serial-ATA hard drive into a removable hot-swappable drive. The BlacX plugs into a computer's USB or eSATA port. USB can be a bit slow at about 20 MBytes/sec (a little over 1GB per minute or about 70GB per hour), or use eSATA to transfer data as fast as the drive is capable of. Most desktop PCs do not have an eSATA port, but if your motherboard has a spare Serial-ATA port, you can open up the PC's case and install a Serial-ATA to eSATA Bracket which costs about $6 after shipping fee.

Being able to pop in any Serial-ATA hard drive means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, then eject the drive and store it in a safe place for use whenever you need it. This is better than consuming precious room on your computer's internal hard drive, which can get fragmented and make your computer run slower when filled with music and videos.

Microcenter - in-store deals
Some great deals if you happen to be near one of their 21 stores:
- Hitachi Deskstar 1TB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $80 in-store.
- eMachines 14" Laptop Computer for $300 in-store with Athlon 2650e processor, 2GB memory, CD/DVD Burner, 160GB hard drive.
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz CPU for $120 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $165.
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz CPU for $130 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $160.
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz CPU for $180 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $215.
- Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz CPU for $230 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $280.
- Intel Core i7 965 3.2GHz CPU for $750 in-store. Sells elsewhere for $1000.
The Core i7 is Intel's latest and fastest CPU architecture, but requires a brand new Socket 1366 motherboard.

If you are building a computer primarily for single-process tasks, such as audio and video encoding, the E8400 will probably run faster than the Quads with slower GHz speeds. However most people will prefer the quads which can handle more simultaneous tasks.

Dell.com - BFG Geforce GTX 285 OC2 1GB Video Card for $340
(repost)

BFG Geforce GTX 285 OC2 1GB Video Card for Desktop PCs with "PCIe x16" slot for $340 with coupon 65G7RQ11J?M2LH . Other stores sell it for around $410, and is one of the best performing 3D video cards on the market.

ZipZoomFly.com - 1TB Hard Drive for $70
(expired)

(repost)

Hitachi 1TB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $75 with free shipping, and coupon code ZZFHT805 gives $5 off. A great deal at 7 cents per GB. Delivery takes about 3-4 days for people in the western half of the US, and 5-9 days for the eastern half. If you need the drive quicker, Newegg sells it for $75 with 3-day shipping.

If you put 2 in your cart, the price comes to $140 after coupon. If you choose eBillMe, another $30 is taken off during checkout. At $110 for two 1TB drives ($55 each) it may sound like an incredible deal, however doing eBillMe is only recommended for someone who can pay off the entire balance quickly to avoid hefty finance fees. Also opening a new line of credit can negatively impact your short-term credit, so eBillMe is not recommended for someone thinking of financing or leasing a new car, motorcycle, home, apartment, or boat within the next 6 months. Also some credit card companies, such as AmEx, may raise your interest rate or possibly drop you as a customer if your credit rating drops even if you are in good standing with them. A credit rating is not something to mess around with these days, and knowing the risks can help save you far more in the future than the $30 you can save today.

Update (2pm EDT): No longer available, but available at Newegg for $5 more.

ZipZoomFly.com - EVGA Geforce 260 896MB Video Card for $125 after rebate
EVGA Geforce GTX 260 896MB Video Card for $150 with coupon code ZZFTW659 and a $25 mail-in rebate is available. When doing a copy/paste of the coupon code, make sure there are no spaces before and after the code.

Newegg.com - 30GB Solid State Disk and $20 Visa Card for $119 after rebate
(expired)

OCZ Vertex Series 2.5" 30GB MLC Serial-ATA Solid State Disk is on sale today until 5pm EDT for $119 with free shipping. Most stores sell it for at least $130. A mail-in rebate is available for a $20 Visa Prepaid Card, which can be used to purchase up to $20 of other stuff. We do not consider this deal "$99 after rebate" because they require you to spend up to the $20 they put on the Visa card rather than giving you a check, meaning you would actually spend $119. This solid state drive is designed for use in laptops and computers with a 2.5" drive slot, has no moving parts so it does not skip or fail from bumps and drops, operates silently, consumes less power than a hard drive, and performs a little faster.

Newegg.com - Athlon X2 2.9GHz CPU and Motherboard with HDMI $110 after rebate
A great deal for someone building an inexpensive desktop PC from computer parts. A Athlon 64 X2 2.9GHz CPU normally costs about $65 by itself, but a bundle is available with a ECS Black Series Motherboard with Geforce 8200 HDMI video for about $120 after shipping fee, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available on the motherboard. The CPU's benchmark is similar to an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600. This is a pretty good deal, since an inexpensive CPU, motherboard, and video card would normally cost about $150 when purchased separately.

Also a bundle with a ECS Micro-ATX Motherboard (without onboard video) for about $102 after shipping fee, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available on the motherboard.
