Nice deal if you're in the market for a cheap 17" LCD. Please note this only has one video connection, analog but no DVI. That shouldn't be an issue for most users.

Thanks Debbie

Although this idea wasn't a winner, a lot of your ideas have been GREAT. Please keep 'em coming. Thread locked per OP's request.

Thanks!

No. Believe it or not, we're a Hot Deals site and forum. Besides I'd say the female population already dominates most of the forum, including my wife

You're welcome

I did a similiar deal but it was for a $150 VISA gift card which I received after my first purchase. However the OP appears to be in Canada and therefore may not be eligible for this promo.

Yes they are "deals". Buy.com offers free shipping, coupons to new customers and possibly no tax for certain states which might give it the upper hand. If you find a better deal you're more than welcome to post a link in the thread.

Even better, I might stock up on some DVD-R's.

Especially if they are the highly regarded Taiyo Yuden's (Made in Japan), available local and no rebate hassles!

This isn't the best deal but it's still pretty hot. Your local Best Buy has Fujifilm 8x DVD-R 30 pack for $9.99 out the door with no rebates. Not sure if they also have +R as well.

OP said "Wally world" which is Walmart.

I was at CompUSA today and they sold 20 of these laptops within 2 hours. This price ends today.

Not available online, only at your local CompUSA and I believe this sale ends today!

We're leaving in a few minutes to LNT to pickup a dust buster as well :)

Good point and I don't think it's worth risking the $20 GC just to save $6.

Correct, hence the YMMV. It's out of stock in most stores but there are a few left.

Well the dust buster was sold out We'll try another LNT tomorrow.

That is CC's price, I only included that link as a reference for specs. This is only available at Staples B&M, not online.

We're definitely buying instore, no shipping hassle or expense.

Great ideal and you can't beat the price!

Credit to Kwad Guy on another forum. Here's some information on the monitor including a picture. Please note this a flat screen CRT and not a flat panel LCD. Considering it's free AR (after rebate) you really can't argue with that. This is only for reference, ignore the price. http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?oid=126673 http://www.circuitcity.com/IMAGE/product/enlarged/hp/EC.HP.MX705.JPG

Here's a better idea. Get on national TV around Black Friday and I'll pay you $300 for a GottaDeal.com tatoo across your forehead.

Thanks, I plan on buying the dustbuster vacuum. Also congrats on reaching 100 posts :)
