Buy This
If you’re in the market for a cheap piece of crap, boy do I have a deal for you today! Behold, the mighty Cirago CDD1000 multi-function drive reader thingy:

Killer RAID Card 1/2 Off
Newegg has the HightPoint RocketRAID 4320 8x PCI-e SATA/SAS RAID card for only $330 shipped (saw this on BareFeats.com). This is similar to the official $700 Mac Pro RAID card, but has the advantage of being both cheaper AND bootable (via cloning). BareFeats did a RAID 0 test as well as a RAID 5/6 test [...]
Need a Webcam?
If you’re in the market for a webcam, look no further than the Dynex DX-WEB1C. Where? On eBay!

Special thanks to [...]

Hot! Zotac 7300GT for $30 shipped
Super hot deal - Newegg is once again carrying the fanless 256mb Zotac 7300GT, one of my favorite Hackintosh cards. It handles 1080p wonderfully (when paired with a minimum of a 2ghz dual-core CPU & 2 gigs of RAM) . Even better, it’s completely silent thanks to a giant heatsink!
$28.99 shipped via Newegg
Cheap Chip: E5200 for $69
Fry’s Online has the E5200 for just $69.99 + shipping (was $6.39 for me). This is a 2.5ghz dual-core chip that overclocks like crazy - it goes to 3.0ghz easily (FYI the 3.0ghz E8400 sells for $165!) and most likely will go higher than that with good cooling. I’ve seen it as high as 3.8ghz on [...]

In-ear earbud design (like an earplug)

No headphone amp required
These are $49 earbuds that sound like [...]
