Best hardware deal you've gotten in past week?

[GunsMadeAmericaFree]

Yesterday I would probably have listed the retail boxed Athlon II X2 2.8 GHz cpu I got for $35.11 shipped, however today I think I did even better:

Yes, I finally got a great deal on some DDR1 memory - enough to upgrade a PC of my Dad's, and one of mine.

What's the best deal you ended up with?

Heads up - this is a registered ECC RAM that may have a hard time working in a regular motherboard.

1. ECC
2. Registered.
3. Major Brands...

There is a huge chance that this DDR RAM that you got, ain't gonna work in ur computer, you might as well save on the shipping charges and time required to process/ship the RMA. Go with a basic Kingston DDR.

Potato chips. They were 2 bags for $3 at the grocery store the other day.

They are crunchy, so guess that counts as hardware.

Shop Force (Meijer brand, I think) 14.4V drill for about $30 in store. Seems to work fine for the hobby things I use it for. The website also has replacement batteries for under $20, so I might order one or two of those.

I had that monitor, prepare to be disappointed. Colors were washed out and text was a tad blurry.

it's for my parents and it's going to replace an old 17" Gateway CRT that has very washed out coloring

I have a 22" Acer LCD so I can do a comparison. not too worried about the washed out colors but hope text isn't too blurry. in the end, I'll probably categorize it as "you get what you pay for"

Got an hp dm3 a couple of weeks ago for $499, does that count?

Oh, and I got a darbuke (goblet drum) for ~$20 at Guitar Center.
