Deals of the Day: MP3 Player and Power Supply for Dirt Cheap

For today's deals, we have a bit of a mix.
First, if you need a fancy MP3 player, but don't want to spend over 200 dollars, there is a deal at Buy.com for a Refurbished Philips HDD6330 30 GB MP3 Player. Not only does it have a stylish look, but also 30 GB to store mp3, wav, and wma (including protected) music files, and photos. From what I have read, it offers great sound quality, good headphones (amazing... for once), and a 2-inch color screen. All for less then 100 bucks.

The next item is an Eagle Vortec 700 watt power supply from Mwave.com. It is a $95 ATX power supply that is now FREE after rebate. Definitely a good deal to check out if building a new PC.

Still not enough, then.... how about a free 802.11 a/b/g Wireless Poster if you fill out this form courteous of Trade Pub. Why not?

Deal of the Day: SAPPHIRE Radeon X1950GT AGP

If your still hanging on to that AGP video card slot PC for whatever reason, and sick of playing Bioshock at 800x600 resolution, maybe a slight upgrade of your video card will keep you alive and kicking until your next build.

The unfortunate thing is, since hardly anyone uses AGP anymore, upper level cards are sometimes much more expensive then their PCI-Express counterparts. However, occasionally a good deal does come along, like this Sapphire Radeon X1950GT.

This card has 256MB 256-bit GDDR3, is HDCP ready, and can run most of today's games at close to max. All this for around $140 from Newegg, which is a little bit cheaper then my BFGTech Geforce 7800 GS OC AGP which was $150 after rebate a few months ago.

Whether you need it or not is up to you, it still won't give you Crysis on max settings, but as an intermediate card to hold you through till there are some more DX10 options, it may not be a bad investment if you can wait a bit more to upgrade. Just make sure you take extra power and cooling into consideration, and of coarse do all the necessary research before you buy.
