    HOT deal on laser level @ Radio Shack

    YMMV but I just bought a dual float level with built-in laser for $1.97 each. Regular price is $19.99. It's a 12" metal level graduated in centimeters with a vertical and horizontal float. The laser is on one end with an on/off switch. It is similar to this product. Link to similar product...

    Al Gore mask 4.99

    It looks like that old dude from "60 Minutes", not Al Gore.

    cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker for 66.50

    Bought one and returned it after about a week. The thing is a PITA to clean. The grind mechanism is pretty good as grinders go but the problem is that the ground coffee flows into the filter basket down a metal chute via gravity. Steam travels up the same way and creates a lovely sludge all up...

    (Update 6/17: now $29.00)RIDATA (Ritek G04) 4x DVD-R @ Newegg

    Thanks for the info. I still don't really understand the significance of the G04 designation but I'm glad I've got 'em. (Mo' betta I guess?) Good to know that Newegg is selling the good stuff because that's where I ordered my first 50 DVD-R's from and they came in the red and white Ridata wrap...

    (Update 6/17: now $29.00)RIDATA (Ritek G04) 4x DVD-R @ Newegg

    How can you tell if they are these mythical G04 media? Why are they better? I ordered a 50 spindle for this price a few weeks ago and they are packaged in a wrapped spindle with purple colored printed label and the disks themselves have "Ridata" and other assorted stuff on it in silver. They...

    NOT HOT! BestBuy's new PM policies

    I agree Best Buy sucks and I hate Best Buy too, and yes, I agree that much of the griping comes from people who did not get their way. On the other hand, as competitive as the retail tech sector is, BB would be well advised to remember that they need to not only get but retain customers. It's...

    Stackable Target.com Coupons = Hot Deals! ($100 GC for $70 + shipping)!

    Got it. The deal still looks alive and kicking. All three $10 off coupons stacked up and worked. (It's 11:49pm PST on 12/15/03.) $71.95 with shipping. I tried the Amex code for 10% off but it did not work. As someone posted above, I don't think the Amex 10% is stackable. Still a great deal.

    [DEAD online] Hot! Canon A70 + 128MB CF card $250+tax AC available now, FAR items 12/8-12/13 @ OfficeMax

    I got the same error ("GenericTable Data not found - ERROR: Item BUND5133 not found") at 12:30 PST today and called the 800 number. Th CSR told me that error code means that the bundle has expired. She could not check to see when it expired. Looks like were SOL. :(

    SD 128mb Lexar card for only $23 at Wal-Mart

    Rats! Checked one of my local Wal-Marts (SoCal) and they didn't have it. All they had on the shelf were Kodak, Panasonic, Lexar, and Fuji brands. No Impact and no hot deal. :disgust: The closest deal that I found would be a Kingston 128MB SD from eCost for $35 AR, tax, and handling fee.

    Hot!? Fry's XP1800+ & ECS K7S5A $59.99

    I can't believe how cheap the AMD CPU's are getting. Who knows about the mobo but the prices are right if you need to make a back up box or a system for a basic user.

    Chaintech 9CJS 875 Canterwood $219 after MIR

    The price point might seem high but there are lots of goodies that this comes with, like the front panel card reader, serial ATA, and remote control. Plus it's the 875 chipset. If I wanted the latest and greatest, this might just be it.

    Dell: hot LCD monitors w/ 15% + 15% off, Planar 201M 20" LCD $686! DEAD

    My order for a 19" LCD was shipped today and should arrive tomorrow. The price breakdown is still the "special deal" price so I guess it worked out. Just thought I'd let you all know.

    Dell: hot LCD monitors w/ 15% + 15% off, Planar 201M 20" LCD $686! DEAD

    Ooops. Sorry for the blank post. I just checked my e-mail and so far have not received a notification that my order has been cancelled. As for the above post about Dell cancelling, the quoted portion does not look like it's from Dell. I'm hoping that it's just someone trying to rain on the...
