  1. I'm not similar with Woot. Is it only one product per day or one product after another after it sells out?

    Usually it's one per day, but every once in a while they do a "woot off" where they sell one product after another, typically products they've had in the past but at a discount.
  2. The laptop is a decent deal, actually, better than their BF Compaq deal. Here's DaPuff's BF comparison chart to jog your memory. http://www.me.mtu.edu/~jdbilyeu/laptops.htm

     

    The 2404 they are offering now is very similar to the 2402 they had on BF except the 2404 has a Turion processor instead of a Sempron and it also has integrated wireless, double the RAM, more ports including an extra USB port and a Firewire port, and a larger hard drive. I think it's worth $50 more AR.

    Plus, according to the website you can get some stuff FAR when you buy the laptop like an Epson AIO printer and a wireless router.

     

    Specs from Compaq: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&lang=en&cc=us&product=1153897&dlc=en&docname=c00503566

     

    Overall, it seems like a pretty nice laptop for the price. Not as cheap as some deals we've seen but this is not a stripped computer, either. Only downside IMO is the smallish WXGA screen at 14" but at least it's BrightView.

  3. Andy,

     

    It's nearly impossible these days to find a hard drive smaller than 80GB, 120GB seems to be the norm.

     

    I was at Fry's on Monday where they had a Seagate 200GB for $59 after $50 rebates. At least it had a 5 year warranty which is nice.

     

    Otherwise keep an eye on NewEgg.com or even try Craigslist where you can get a used HD for cheap

    Interesting, guess it's pointless to try and get a smaller one then. I'll check out Fry's to see what they've got.
  4. Well, the original hard drive from my Dell EPP 8250 (anyone remember that deal?) finally crapped out on me. I need a good ol' fashioned internal IDE hard drive to replace it. I don't need anything fancy or even very large (I keep my HD cleaned out as much as possible; I never filled up the old one @ 60GB), just something CHEAP, of course! :)

     

    I was also considering a DVD burner. I saw RossMAN mention the $40 black NEC drive at NewEgg in another thread. I assume this is a pretty good deal?
