- Wireless Shower Speaker for $40
Cables Unlimited Wireless Shower Speaker for $40 with free shipping.
Plug the base station to a power outlet and hook up to an MP3 player or other audio source, and it wirelessly transmits the audio to a water-resistant speaker.
While it's really meant for the shower, it can also be used it other places such as poolside.

Most other stores sell it for around $71.
Newegg.com
- Samsung SMX-F40 Flash Memory Camcorder for $104
Samsung SMX-F40 Black Camcorder with image stabilized 52x optical zoom for $169, coupon EMCYWNY28 gives $70 off in the cart, and add $5 for shipping.
It uses Secure Digital (SDHC) memory cards, and according to one very good review, it requires about 1GB for every 23 minutes of film time and SDHC cards must be formatted from the camcorder to avoid read/write problems.
It records video at 720x480, and the battery lasts about 4 hours on a single charge.
Note that some newer mobile phones have similar video recording resolution.
The main reason to buy a camcorder like this is for the anti-shake 52x optical zoom, which no mobile phone can do.

- Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speakers for $83
Logitech Z-2300 2.1 Speakers for $83 with coupon logi_z2300_81910 .

Buy.com
- Sennheiser MX400 In-Ear Headphone for $8
Sennheiser MX400 In-Ear Headphone for $8 with free shipping.
We have a bunch of these, and are actually pretty good headphones for the price.
Our biggest complaints are the foam earbud covers are easy to fall off and lose and the sound is not loud enough for use on an airplane,
but for cheap/spare headphones for workouts, it is a good value at $8.
Here are some reviews.
Kingston 4GB Secure Digital SDHC Memory Card for $9.15.
Depending on camera type, settings, and photo quality, roughly 350 to 550 photos can be stored per GB, so this 4GB card can store somewhere around 1400 to 2200 photos.
Energizer iPhone 3G/3GS Extended Battery for $15.
Unlike other extended battery devices which cover the speaker and microphone, the phone can fully operate while attached.
While it is a "case" it will provide very little phone protection from physical abuse, but will add another 70% to the battery life of the phone.
Western Digital Black 640GB Hard Drive for $55 with coupon EMCYWYP32 .
Note that many 1TB hard drives can be found for around the same price, so this deal is really for people who already have 640GB Black drives for their RAID and JBOD setups, and are looking for more.
Logitech G35 Surroundsound Headset for $65 with coupon logi_g35_73010 .
It simulates a surroundsound system in the headset, has a microphone meant for communicating with other online game players, and usually sells for around $100.
Coupon codes are case sensitive, and make sure no extra spaces are pasted before & after the coupon codes.

- Sennheiser In-Ear Headphones for $20 (repost)
Sennheiser CX300-B (Black) In-Ear Headphones for $25 plus $2 shipping, and coupon HEADPHONE727A gives $7 off in the cart.
These headphone have great reviews (see both the CX300-B and CX300-S reviews).
The CX300 is a discontinued product, replaced by the CX300-II which goes for around $31.
Vostro 1015 15" Laptop for $497 ($489 plus $8 shipping).
Core 2 Duo T6570 2.1GHz, 2GB memory, 250GB hard drive, CD/DVD Burner, 6-cell battery.

Base configuration includes a Core 2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz processor, 2GB memory, CD/DVD Burner Drive, 250GB Hard Drive, E2010H 20" LCD Monitor.
3Ware 9650SE-2LP PCIe x1 Hardware RAID Controller Card for $155 with coupon SUNSHINE15 .
Supports hardware RAID 0 or 1 for up to 2 physical hard drives.
Most stores sell it for around $180.
Unlike most other RAID cards which rely on software drivers to manage the RAID (and thus rely on the operating system to boot for the RAID to function), 3ware cards' RAID is completely hardware driven, and managed through the computer's BIOS bootup screens.
Intel X25-M 80GB Solid State Drive for $195 with coupon SUNSHINE15 .
Sells elsewhere for around
$220,
and unlike many other SSD deals, no annoying prepaid Visa cards by mail-in rebate necessary to get this deal.
While very expensive ($2.44/GB), it performs faster than a pair of 10,000rpm hard drives in RAID-0.
SSD's like this are designed for use with Linux or Windows 7, and could take some work to get running with Windows XP.
The coupon applies toward more than one item in the cart, but only grants $15 total savings per order.
