Deals of the Week - July 2

Lots of July 4th deals this week:

CompUSA:

  • 300GB Seagate hard drive $120 ($150 - $30 MIR). 40¢ per GB with a small rebate. Not bad if you need a big drive.
  • 160GB Seagate SATA hard drive $60 ($100 - $40 MIR). 37.5¢ per GB is better, but has a bigger rebate, and is SATA only.
  • 350VA APC UPS $20 ($35 - $15 MIR). Excellent little battery backup to give you time to shutdown safely in case of power outage (1-2 mins of power, tops). I have several of these.
  • Antec Super Lanboy Case $50 ($80 - $30 MIR). Antec cases have excellent workmanship. When you can find a deal on one, I say grab it.

First entry of the new blog

I’ve switched blogging software to WordPress, which will require commenters to, like, register and stuff.  It sure was fun cleaning out those 100 Viagra and casino ads for each post I made on the old blog.

This blog, basically, will be me posting about something I love — saving money.  I plan to post each Sunday the best deals in the newspaper ads, as well as any deals on sites like NewEgg. I also might make a random post here and there about some tech news from Digg, or other interesting tidbits.

The real question is, will anyone read this blog? :)
