Lots of good deals are still out there. Just got back from shopping again today. And also just got done loading up my 1.5 TB drive :o It's too cool ;D I put in a SATA removable rack and it works great. My ASUS A7N8X-E main board does not support it, but when Windows XT pro loads, it is detected. I have heard many problems with the firmware and using this drive to run your computer and on RAID setups, so beware. You can read all about it here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337

Current price as of today (12-6-08) is $129.99 not to bad considering its size.

I was out and about on Black Friday. Lots of folks at the Mission Valley Mall in San Diego, For the couple hours I was there looks like shoppers are giving a second thought about spending this year. Many shoppers rifleing through the clearence sections before going to the full price areas. I didn't buy anything at the mall however I did buy some shirts and jeans for work from the www.casualmalexl.com website.
It was 2 for the price of one plus free shipping.

Just picked up a Seagate Barracuda 1.5TB Hard Drive for $119.99 ;D Mixed reviews on this one, but it's too cheap to pass up. If the reviews were better I would have bought 2 more :'(

I got mine from here: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4138742&CatId=139

Mind boggling isn't it, all the efforts these retailers make to relieve you of your money.

My own wish list and not necessarily in a particular order.

Tamron 200-500 lens for my EOS-40D
DVD-VHS recorder

other lesser expensive items
Spend, spend, spend $$$$$$ :P
