Other than a funky looking key like flash drive, there is really nothing woth ordering today.

With free shipping I am tempted with the USB key, but honesly does someone really need over 100gb in usb keys laying around

I think the 24" monitor and the batteries are really good deals.

I have that monitor and got it for 179.99 durring a different days of deals. Its an ok monitor but northing spectacular I would say.

The batteries again are ok deals but if its not sold out by 9am MST via the RFD effect than the deal isnt that great - unless of course you need either of those two items in which case its a good deal rather than paying regular price.

Bought the funky looking USB key. Can't really go wrong for an 8GB key for under $20.

You know what would be a cool application for that key? Actually having locks with USB ports and have public / private keys unlock the locks!

No more key ring, just one key with a bunch of electronic keys.

Yeah but it would suck to have to run around back to unmount the key so that it could be safely removed everytime.

Would be nice if some of the older 22" monitors were put on sale so I could make an eyefinity setup.

These new 24" monitors with their 1920x1080(16x9) resolution are hardly any bigger in area than the older 1680x1050(16x10) 22" monitors which hasn't anything to do with your wish but I thought I'd throw it in.

It's not area issue. It's both resolution (1650x1050 X3 would be more framerate friendly) and also cost.

I already have a 22" 1650x1080 monitor and I would like to add two more for Eyefinity - Dells would be important for that because they have a displayport and I wouldn't need to shell out $100 for an active DP adapter.

I bought the webcam.

It seems impossible to get a decent camera for $50 these days, so hopefully one worth $100 that is on sale for $50 will get the job done.

Considering I just bought that same digital camera from Bestbuy less than a month ago when it was 69.99 on sale, that is a good deal.

I also picked up the webcam. With a little one on the way, remote Grandma and Grandpa will want to interact with the brat somehow.

I probably should have bought two...hmmm.

Nice price, I should get another one!

IPS monitors are basically the best panel as far as colour reproduction is concerned, and have great viewing angles.

I've tried other types of panels and have always gone back to IPS.

TN panels are faster (i.e. if you are a counter strike freak and can detect 5ms of input lag), but the image quality is superior on an IPS and they are plenty fast nowadays for games.
