Inoi HV670 DVD/HDD Media Player for $80

PhotoThe Inoi HV670 HDD/DVD Media Player is only $79.99 at Geeks.com currently, and has an additional $10 rebate available until February 15.

It's much like any network media player in function, but instead of the network connection it has a removable hard drive to hold the media. So no network traffic glitches, connection problems, etc. It also contains a traditional DVD player. It has component outputs, but does not apparently upconvert DVD playback.

Drop DirecTV Dish WiFi- 24dBi Antenna Under $50

PhotoOld DirecTV antennas are nice, but this Parabolic Grid from Pasadena Networks requires no construction, is made specifically for the frequency, and will likely end up just as cheap at only $50 shipped.

It is about 36" wide and gets an immense 24dBi of gain -- over 100x the strength of the normal antenna that comes on an access point. It's a coated aluminum outdoor antenna, this is for serious long distance projects. Obviously it is highly directional as well.

I'd been searching through antennas and the prices are just all over the map. So if you need a large direction dish as I do, and if you've considered trying to adapt an old DirecTV-type dish, I'd say save the weekend, save the frustration, and just get it shipped complete.

LED Bulbs Available for $5 at Geeks.com

PhotoGeeks.com has a great deal on two types of LED bulbs, both $4.99. Pictured is the LED spotlight, an 18 LED, 1.3 watt compact unit that is great for reading lamps, especially in the bedroom. The other bulb is a more normal globe unit, with 18 LEDs and 1.3 watt consumption as well.

I've purchased a number of these on eBay for $10+ after I missed their first go-round at Geeks. I would definitely recommend trying some out, it's a great feeling when your bulb uses like 1 watt and doesn't get hot. The spots are great because you can read in bed without your partner being kept up.

Here's That AT&T 'Naked' DSL Page

AT&T has a series of relatively inexpensive DSL options without requiring a phone line and I thought I'd link to them since it's a little hard to find on their site.

The cheapest is $19.99 a month and requires a year contract. The cheapest non-contract option is $23.99 a month. Since my cable television is no longer even connected into my entertainment system, I've been thinking of ditching Comcast altogether. If I can't leech off of the local library or some other public building, I could go for this.

8GB USB Thumb Drive Under $32 Shipped

YesBuy.net has the ADATA PD9 8GB USB Thumb Drive for only $31.95 with free shipping. Far and away the cheapest I've seen, DealRam claims the cheapest at about $40.

Not a fashion item to be sure, but an extremely useful and cheap replacement for my old 20GB hard-drive-based portable storage.
