$160 - 2 rebates — which kinda sucks, but it’s a good price.. Drive is IDE.

[Slickdeals thread]

Update: Sold out

Remember when laser pointers were like 100 bucks? Now you can get one with an entire gun attached to it for $3.95 :)

These airsoft guns are pretty sweet and this site sells em for crazy prices. I got mine yesterday and was shocked at how strong it is — I have no idea how fast it fires, but the site claims 200fps (which is around the speed of a paintball gun I think?). To test the power, I got my wife to gat my ass (literally) and it freekin stung (it shoots hard plastic BBs!!)..

Comes with the thumb button activated laser sight (which is moderately accurate after some adjustment), a removable magazine, and has a slidey top thingymajiggy (why yes I am a member of the NRA). Go snag one and a couple thousand BBs (it only comes with about 15). Some sorta eye protection is probably a good idea if you’re planning on dueling with your buds!

Here’s a great deal for you arsonists out there, and some ravishing headwear for the rednecks.

I’ll be at this concert tonite.. woo! Fill out this form for a free DVD.

Tigerdirect is selling a 300gb 5400rpm Maxtor drive along with a USB2.0 / firewire / fan-cooled enclosure as a package for $99 after a $20 rebate. Sweet combo, and that enclosure looks pretty damn phat.

Only snag that may scare some people off is the fact that it’s a refurb. When it comes to hard drives, I’ve had about 5 die on my in my home computers, and probably about 50 in my past few years of work — so I don’t think you’re at any advantage having a new drive. In fact, I bet you’re probably better off with a refurb’ed HDD. When they go back to the factory, you know they’re givin them extra special love, attention, and lots of testing to make sure they work right.

Update: No longer available..

Free deck of playing cards over here.. Looks spammy (and if you actually read the privacy policy, it states this is an opt-in thing and you will receive emails) — BUT — just generate a disposable 1-hour email address at Jetable.com and you’ll be spam free! (and of course use a fake phone number)

You need to put in a working email address because they do send a confirmation email with a link you need to click to confirm the request.

From Pinnacle! Although it doesn’t say anything like “limit one per household”, I’m sure that’s the case.. You can give it a shot though — enter 12 different fake names and give em to dad on father’s day!

You disgust me you cheap bastard ;)

It’s legit — I did it myself. Sponsored by the three big reporting companies. All they ask for is name/address/ss#. No credit card required, no subscription crap. They dont give you the credit “score” for free (it’s 6 bucks extra), but you can check your cards to make sure no identity theft is going on!

Sweet deal on this Western Digital 250 gig external drive at Amazon. $126 + shipping. The prices of these things are droppin like crazy.

Update: People have been reporting that after ordering, the email confirmation they are getting is saying it’s the 120gb model? May be able to straighten it and get the advertised drive out by callin customer service tho. See this thread on SlickDeals.

Update2: Circuit city has the drive for $150 after rebate. Free shipping.

Update3: Here’s one for $119 (LaCie by F.A. Porsche design).

Good deal on this great Antec P160 case. $95-$20 rebate = $75 (+ shipping unfortunately) at ZipZoomFly.

I have this case myself and recommend it 100%. Got it because of the 120mm [quiet] fans, and the front dust filter. The inside of my last case basically looked like what you woud find underneath your refrigerator.

The only mod I made to it was to tape off those small slots around the perimeter (from behind). With that done, the case is almost completely dust free as the only intake is via the front filtered opening (which cleans easily once every few months).
