If it's any consolation I bought a Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW LCD for $484 .. 6 weeks later it was on sale for $380
That was about a year ago and to this day I still get miffed reliving the experience.
Very good deal. The 80GB for $59.99 OTD that I mentioned is part of a sale 4/7 - 4/8 but it's a no name brand. The Seagate that Nate linked to is 160GB, 7200RPM, $39.99 AR and carries a 5 yr warranty. Agreed!
This is a great deal and I love that it's fairly loaded and not barebones like most under $800 laptops. I bought a Dell Inspiron 700m almost a year ago and use it at least once a day.
We bought two Sandisk Sansa M230's for $39.99 each during BF 2005. As an MP3 player it's great but the FM radio was terrible and could not get a clear signal. We tried our home (both floors), my work and my wifes work. So we ended up returning both of them. http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1161)-SanDisk_Sansa_m200_Series_MP3_Players.aspx
