23.1" LCD (possible KDS RAD-23 rebadge) for 1988.36 @ Sam's Club Online (Possibly Cheaper @ Dell Home)

what about the sharp 28 incher. of course it doesn't have the pixel res most would want. and at 7k it is a bit steep. wait two years and 17 inch monitors will be under 200. and 25 inchers will be in the 5-7 hundred range. maybe.

*DEAD* Western Digital 120GB SE 8MB Cache $58 - Being Honored!

clearing inventory is the most likely case. the newer two platter unit should be cheaper to make, so we'll see price softness in the not too distant future.

*DEAD* Western Digital 120GB SE 8MB Cache $58 - Being Honored!

this deal is great, but it does make you wonder why they are running it. my guess is that sales are lackluster. instead of reducing retail, they will run specials to try to maintain a higher retail for a while, but look for the price of this to be racheted down fairly quickly over the next...

not a camcorder. even with a 128mb card, how long do you think you can record a hi-res video? it is the sleeper-sofa of electroncs. does lots of things, but none of them especially well. i'll pass for now. maybe in a year when they're giving 'em away i'll have another look. anyone know of an...

pocket pc: e-125 vs maestro

sounds like things are weighing in favor of the maestro. i'll have to go over to compusa and take a look at it myself. though the screen might be smaller side-by-side with an ipaq, if it's still easy to read, and its a couple hundred less, seems to me the choice is easy. thanks much

visor prism or sony clie or pocket pc? which screen/unit is best
