I ordered the Logitech EX 90 cordless keyboard and mouse. The salesguy said it has a range of 10 meters but I don't believe him, still for $19, I hope I can't go far wrong.

Hey what happens if you aren't home when dell delivers? Do you have to go pick it up somewhere? And is shipping still free?

Also can i have them deliver directly to there warehouse (or whatever) in the city in which i live so i would pick it up, instead of my apartment?

Also i'm looking at the 22 inch monitor. Is it free shipping as well?

They ship using Purolator- so they will leave a tag at your door and then you can go down to the closest Purolator branch and pick it up. And yes, the shipping is still free if you pick it up from Purolator.

Today's best deal- 32" LCD TV for $550.

With the TV I got last time, I had to be home all day as they couldn't specify a time. They also said their drivers do not carry cell phones and the could not contact me 10 minutes prior to arriving at my house so I could meet them. To get it delivered to my work, i had to call Dell, and change the delivery address. In the end it was just easier for me to go to Purolator and pick it up.

Where do you see an HD-DVD player?

I see an HD tuner, and an upconverting DVD player.

Is that EVA700 Digital Entertainer, essentially the same thing as a slingbox? I'm not entirely clear what it can do for me....it's just an interface between my computer and TV? Also, I don't have a wireless router, or any network whatsoever, will I need that first?

^^^ ya, I think it's the same as a slingbox. doesn't sound like something you'd have a lot of use for unless you download a lot of movies.

Actually, it is more of an anti-slingbox.

Slingbox takes TV signals and sends it to a computer.
This takes files on your computer and sends it to a TV.

You can connect to it with a wired or wireless network.

I've never heard of that brand. And the only time I ever bought an el-cheapo DVD player; it ate one of my discs.

Best Buy also has one on for $50.

The TV seems alright with the built in Tuner.

I cant justify a 42" Plasma and 32" LCD in a 850 Sq foot apartment, am I that lazy I cant walk less than 20 steps from my bedroom to my couch

Damn Dell and their recycled deals, I have money, I would like to spend it on something from them, and yet they produce nothing.

Can anyone tell me if this can plug into a CRT TV?

It outputs composite, component and S-Video. So if your TV can accept any of those, then yes.
