- 50-pack of DVD+R DL Media for $40
A pair of 25-pack 8x Double Layer DVD media for $40 with free shipping, a great deal at $0.80 per disc.
This is a great deal if you need some double layer discs handy, like in that situation when you need to burn more than 4.5GB onto a single disc. Many other stores, especially retail stores, sell double layer media for around $2 per disc.
Some DVD Burner drives can only write at 2.4x on these discs, meaning it can take 40 minutes to burn each disc to capacity.
While this is a great deal, these days many people may prefer a BlacX hard drive docking station to store their stuff onto Serial-ATA hard drives.
Hard drives cost more per GB than DVDs, but can store a lot more data much easier & faster than burning DVDs, and are lighter than carrying around books of DVD wallets.

- small 8-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch for $2 after rebate (expired: 5/2)
A cheap no-name brand Ethernet Switch with capable of 10 and 100 megabit on all of its 8 ports.
The device is pretty small.
Price is $22 with free shipping at Buy.com, and a $20 mail-in rebate is available.
This deal is quite risky since the quality of this brand's products is unknown, and the company has a history of leaving some rebates unfulfilled (read some rebate woes here).
Also across the entire Internet we can only find one positive review on this item.
Still a great deal worth considering if you were already thinking of paying $20 for a network Switch.

- Memory Card Reader & USB Hub for $8 (expired)
A memory card reader for Secure Digital, Compact Flash, and Memory Stick plus 3-port USB hub for $8 with free shipping.

A memory card reader means you can read the photos off from most digital cameras by reading its memory card, without worrying about installing the camera's drivers and using the camera's USB cable.
