Casio QV-4000 $385 at walmart clearence YMMV

I picked up a QV-3000 just before leaving for Europe, and this camera is an improvement on it: nice features and well spoken of at Steves DigiCams and DP-Preview. 'Had to return my QV-3000 due to problems, but I think it was that unit, not the company, or there'd be more warnings in the...

Warm - MAHA C204F 3 Hour Smart Charger + Car Adapter + 4 AA 1600 mah ni-mh batteries for $29 + Free Shipping

Maha C204F is great -- gave mine away and regretted it as the replacement I bought wasn't as satisfactory -- too bulky, although it does charge C/D/9v's as well. The 204 may be limited to AA/AAA but it's pocket-size so it travels well. Sad to have missed NewEgg deal as I need something small...

SAMSUNG 900NF for under $300 shipped @ DELL

<< I have this monitor and I love it, the only problem is that it's beginning to become discolored in one corner after about a year and a half. Sadly, I don't THINK there's anything I can do. It's only about an inch or two, so I can live with it. Any ideas what may have caused this or what I...

Samsung 32" HDTV -- $999 BJs B&M (Salem, NH) (Updated)

I'm interested in the Model #: Samsung hasn't offered a 36" HDTV as far as I've heard -- and I don't find it on their web site (but not having all one's products covered there wouldn't be a "first"). They do make a TV that's between regular and HDTV: the TXK3679. Higher resolution, but not up...

Any ATAPI DVD drive recommendations?

A Pioneering concensus is developing. I've been staring at that Newegg 106s/2 for a week, but they're out out out!! :( (I've been on the email list for notification of available.) Gnus flash!! They've just come back in stock... poor, poor wallet.... Thanks for the help!

Radeon 8500 for $123.50 ( add $27 to get a discount)

Out of curiosity: since Gateway doesn't identify the cpu/memory speeds, how can one be certain this is a full-speed 8500? Their site is a bit unsettling in its vagueness. I -thought- I could wait until the Next Big Price Drop, but this was too much: I placed an order. Then... pangs of guilt...

STAPLES: In-store MAXTOR 40GB 7200 RPM HD $99.94 Feb 10-15

An interesting manufacturer's product code on the disk: it's a special code for STaples I think, and hard to match against Maxtor web pages. Alas, it doesn't appear to be the Fluid Bearing model ($99 incl s/h at nova ova) which is alledged to be quieter & more durable. :(
