Just be careful, the DNS-323 I have is picky about what drives it will recognize. I had 3 different sets of drives to try to find ones that worked, and it wasn't anything normal.. 7200.7 was fine, 7200.9 wasn't, 7200.10 was, all 320GB or less. Hopefully better with this DNS-321 (not sure what the difference is to the DNS-323).

Dell has a return policy though I think.

How about a 24" LCD monitor? $280.

And I checked- no analog TV inputs.

Interesting, the SSD is interesting though I'd probably wait their prices are coming down so fast recently...

The gigabit switch is a good price too.

Yeah, thanks for pointing out the switch Photon.

I was looking at a 16 port 10/100 switch at Staples for $50 the other day. Seeing as I will only be using it for internet, I now have to decide which I will need first- gigabit or more than 8 ports.

Oh, and in case those noise cancelling headphones come up again, they work great. So great in fact that some how I have now lost them to my girlfriend. We've only tested them in the car, but they effectively reduce road and wind noise.

11" Digital Picture Frame for $100
30" LCD Monitor for $1000

Also a video card- but I don't know video cards well enough to know if it's any good or not.

Good video card, especially at that price point.

Man I'm am VERY tempted to get that monitor. That's the best price I've ever seen for the 30".

Wow, a mail-in rebate for that card too!

http://www.mirhelp.com/wp-content/up...-oct-31-08.pdf

Not sure if it'll work, but if it does that's a great price.

17" monitor for $110 today is the best deal. Also some inexpensive RAM, USB-N adapter for $40, webcam, laptop bag.
