Nice barebones

NewEgg has got some great barebones deals for anyone interested in a small form factor computer. Get yourself a hard drive, optical drive, operating system, and a decent processor and you're golden. The boxes are by Asus and Shuttle. They cost about $200 give or take depending on your particular flavor. The Shuttle boxes allow for an upgraded PCIE x16 card which opens up choices for graphics cards. I'd say an HD3850 or lower would do well considering the power constraint of the power supply.

Gamer's Haven over at Amazon.com

I was recently looking for some PC video games and was pleasantly surprised by Amazon.com's prices on video games. For example Sim Societies, which retails for $50, was only $30. Also, the Orange box was slightly below list at $47. World in Conflict was just $40 ($37 at newegg.com). Keep watching the prices because I saw World in Conflict at only $30 less than a week ago. Besides the good list prices all of these items ship for free with Super Saver shipping. For good prices on games be sure to check out amazon.com.

An mp3 player for everyone!

Adorama, a well known photographic reseller in New York City, is making a transition to a more general electronics reseller and doing so in an admirable fashion. An awesome deal that I have found on their website through Amazon.com is the Sansa Connect 4GB mp3 player. This is a great mp3 player for general use with music, photo, internet radio, and video (firmware update) capabilities. The neat thing about the player is that it includes a wireless network card. Through an unsecured WIFI hub the player can get access to Yahoo! Internet Radio and can download songs from Yahoo! Music Unlimited. Yahoo! Internet Radio is a feature that comes for free with all ATT DSL contracts and the Yahoo! Music Unlimited service includes all the songs you can download for $15 a month. The songs will lose their licenses when you decide to cancel your subscription. The mp3 also has the capability to expand its memory via a micro SD or microSD HC card which run for about $20 for a 2GB card shipped from NewEgg.com and from big box stores when on sale. All in all this is a great mp3 player at a stellar price.
