Newegg.com - good deals today
- refurbished Brother MFC-240C Printer/Scanner/Fax for $35 today only. It is refurbished (repaired from a broken condition), but does include a 1 year manufacturer's warranty and new ones cost around $100.
- Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $90. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.14 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of very positive reviews.
- Western Digital 750GB 5400rpm Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100. Costs $0.133 per GB and operates quieter and cooler than many other drives, but its slow spin speed gives worse performance than a standard 7200rpm drive.

Newegg.com - 750GB Serial-ATA hard drive for $100
(expired: 7/31)

Back again is a Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with free shipping, a great deal at under $0.14 per GB plus a 5 year warranty.

If noise is a concern, Seagate may not be the ideal hard drive choice for use as a primary/bootup drive. Although it does operate nearly silent when playing movies & music, when idle, and when used with a BlacX docking station.

Newegg.com - 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85
(expired: 7/31)

Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85 when using coupon EMCAHCFAD with free shipping. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.13 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of positive reviews.

Newegg.com - 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $85
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive just dropped to $85 when using coupon EMCAHCFAD with free shipping. That's a $5 pricedrop in the last 2 weeks, and $25 less than the price it was during the beginning of June. It's not just a great deal at a cost of $0.13 per GB, but is rated as one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100. It has hundreds of positive reviews, some of the highest ratings we have seen lately for a large capacity hard drive priced this low. Code is limited to one drive per account.

The above drive is our recommendation for someone looking for performance and overall the best value. If you are looking for another kind of drive, here are some other very good promos available:
- Seagate 250GB Serial-ATA Drive for $55 ($0.22/GB) with code EMCAHCFAB .
- Western Digital 500GB Serial-ATA Drive for $75 ($0.15/GB) with code EMCAHCFAF
- Seagate 1TB Serial-ATA Drive for $180 ($0.18/GB) with code EMCAHCFAC .
- Samsung 1TB Serial-ATA Drive for $170 ($0.17/GB) with code EMCAHCFAE . Reviews are mixed.
If noise is a concern, Seagate may not be the best choice despite their generous 5 year warranty. Seagate drives can become noisy when doing lots of simultaneous tasks like when used as a primary/bootup (C:) drive, but do operate nearly silent when playing movies & music, when idle, and when used with a
BlacX docking station.

Newegg.com - 750GB Serial-ATA hard drive for $100
(expired: 7/24)

Back again for today:
- Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code HD72220 . Has a very nice 5 year warranty, but Seagate drives operate louder other drives when undergoing heavy usage. That comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Samsung 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code HD702220 . That also comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal. Has double the cache size as the Seagate, and may perform slightly better.
Codes are each limited to one use per account.

Update (12pm EDT): If you intend to use drives like these for removable storage rather than inside a computer, like with a BlacX docking station, it may be a good idea to pick up some anti-static bags. Newegg's drives do come in a factory sealed anti-static bag, but are not re-sealable. There are some nicer bags available with zip-loc tops. StaticBags.com sells a 50-pack of 6x8 Zip-Loc Top Anti-Static Bags for $8.45 plus $4.75 shipping ($13.20) through their website and through Ebay. We found their bags very handy for safekeeping removable hard drives, and that store has superb reviews on Ebay. Although these bags provide no cushion protection from violent impacts.

Walmart - 500GB USB Hard Drive for $89 in-store
(expired: 7/21)

Western Digital 500GB External USB Hard Drive for $89 online and in-store. It's a great deal if picked up in-store, since most 500GB drives cost around $110. In-store inventory can be looked up online.

Walmart charges $7 for delivery. If you want one shipped, it may be better to buy one from Newegg.com for $100 with free 3-day shipping, and sales tax only for recipients in NJ, TN, CA, and NY.

Newegg.com - great deals today
(expired: most have expired)

There are some really great deals today at Newegg, some of which may sell out early this morning.

Monitors:
- Sceptre 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $190 with promo code EMCAHBFAD . Finding a 22" monitor priced under $200 is rare these days, and this deal may sell out quickly.
Printers:
- Brother MFC-465CN Printer/Scanner/Fax for $70. Every other store sells it for over $100, and this deal will likely sell out sometime today.
- Samsung CLP-300 Color Laser Printer for $230 with promo code EMCAHBFBC and a $150 mail-in rebate is available. Paying $80 for a color laser printer is a very good deal (if you remember to mail in the rebate), however keep in mind replacing the color toner cartridges can cost as much as the printer itself (about $74), and this printer only provides about 1,000 color pages per refill. The laser gives good quality as mentioned in the product reviews on Newegg, but keep in mind color inkjet printers are more economically friendly.
Hard Drives
- Seagate 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code EMCAHBFBK . Has a very nice 5 year warranty, but Seagate drives operate louder than most other drives. That comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Samsung 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100 with promo code EMCAHBFCA . That also comes to $0.133 per GB, a great deal.
- Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $90. At a cost of $0.14 per GB, this is one of the best deals around for one of the best hard drives on the market. It is one of the quietest, coolest operating, best performing hard drives priced under $100 with hundreds of positive reviews on Newegg.
DVD and Blu-Ray Drives
- Lite-On Blu-Ray Reader Drive for $110 with promo code EMCAHBFCB
- Samsung USB External DVD Burner for $55. A great deal for a USB based DVD burner.
- DVD Burners for $25 to $35
Networking
- Linksys 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch for $40 with coupon EMCAHBFDA . Used for wired networking computers in a room without having to buy a second router or wireless cards.
- D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Router for $94 with promo code ROUTER7146 and a $20 mail-in rebate is available ($74 after rebate). No wireless capability, but if Internet performance is of utmost importance, especially if you pay for a fast 10-megabit or 20-megabit Internet connection, this is one of the best routers available in the sub-$100 price point. We tested one of these on a 20-megabit cablemodem connection, and consistently achieved 20-megabit speeds. A $45 Linksys router fluctuated between 8 and 18 megabits with the same downloads.
Electronics and peripherals
- Up-Convert 1080p DVD Player for $60 with promo code EMCAHBFAC . Other stores sell it refurbished for more.
- Rosewill USB Mouse for $5 with free shipping code EMCAHBFBE
- Antec True Power Trio 650-Watt PC Power Supply for $60 after promo code EMCAHBFCH . A 650-Watt PSU with good reviews is very rare to find at $60 without any rebate requirements. Update: Sold out.
Laptops:
- HP Pavilion DV6755US 15" Laptop Computer for $666 after coupon EMCAHBFBA and shipping fee, and a $50 mail-in rebate is available ($616 after rebate). Pretty good specs for the price: Core 2 Duo T5450, 2GB memory, 250GB hard drive, DVD Burner, webcam, 6-cell battery. Other stores sell it for around $1000.
Video cards:
- EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card for $189 after shipping fee, and a $30 mail-in rebate is available ($159 after rebate). That is a $30 pricedrop since last month, and the card has superb reviews.
Also 10% off all $100+ Computer Power Supplies with coupon EMCPSPROMO .

Update (7/16): Every one of these Newegg deals have expired, except:
- D-Link Gigabit Router $74 after rebate with code ROUTER7146
- Western Digital 640GB Hard Drive still at $90
- DVD Burners went up in price slightly, but still $26 to $35.
- EVGA Geforce 8800GTS 640MB Card still at $159 after rebate.
