Frys.com - 19" LCD Monitor for $108 after rebate
Tyris T902WDT Widescreen 19" LCD Monitor for $139 plus about $9 shipping, and a $40 mail-in rebate is available. Also a Canon Printer for $50 with free shipping, and a $50 mail-in rebate is available when purchased with the monitor. A similar non-widescreen Tyris monitor had good reviews.

Frys.com - Geforce 7200GS Graphics Card for $6 after rebate
EVGA Geforce 7200GS 256MB PCIe Graphics card for desktop computers for $50 plus about $6 shipping, and a $50 manufacturer's mail-in rebate is available. A good deal if you need a cheap graphics card for a spare computer, but it has relatively poor reviews.

If you are looking for a much better low-cost graphics graphics card, it may be better to pay an extra $25 and get a Geforce 8400GS 256MB Graphics Card for $31 after shipping and rebate. It has better support for dual monitors, better drivers, and performs well for the price.

Frys.com - cheap 22" LCD Monitor for $140 after rebates
(expired: sold out)
1. Emprex 22" LCD Computer Monitor for $180.
2. Canon iP2600 Inkjet Printer for $50.
3. Shipping adds $10, for a purchase price of $240
4. A $50 mail-in rebate is available on the monitor.
5. A $50 mail-in rebate is available on the printer.
Final cost after 2 rebates is $140, assuming both rebate checks come.

It has DVI input, and includes a VGA cable.

Note, this deal is very risky for 2 reasons: the quality of the monitor, and the chance of not getting the $50 rebate on the monitor.

This really is a cheap LCD monitor, so be aware that if you dislike it and already submitted the rebate, you may be stuck paying over a hundred dollars for a poor quality item that no one wants. Even some recently completed Ebay auctions had trouble selling this monitor. The few reviews of this monitor gave it about 3 stars out of 5, and there are a couple reports of broken LCDs and the manufacturer failed to provide adequate support. Our recommendation is to avoid a deal like this unless you really do want a cheap LCD monitor and do not care about quality.

The mail-in rebate for the monitor appears to be a Fry's rebate, not a manufacturer's rebate. Fry's has a poor history of not fulfilling their own rebates, and chances of not getting your $50 is greater than a manufacturer's rebate. The $50 printer rebate is a manufacturer rebate.

Outpost.com - 2x1GB DDR2 1066MHz OCZ Memory $30 after rebate, maybe
This deal is only for someone who can submit a mail-in rebate within one or two days after receiving an order. A pair of OCZ 1GB 1066MHz DDR2 memory for $70 with free shipping, and a $40 mail-in rebate is only available if mailed within 10 days of purchase. Outpost.com orders shipped to the Eastern half of the country should arrive by May 21, and Western half by May 22. That only leaves customers who use free ground shipping with as few as 1 or 2 days to mail the rebate, so only do this deal if you are confident the rebate can be submitted in time. Most stores sell a pair of 1GB 1066MHz memory for around $60.

Outpost.com orders shipped to the East coast should arrive by May 20, and West coast by May 22.

Outpost.com - Uniden 3-Handset 5.8GHz Cordless Phone for $68
(expired: 4pm EDT, sold out)

Uniden TRU9485-3 3-Handset 5.8GHz Cordless Phone System for $60 plus about $8 shipping. This is a great deal, since most other stores sell this package for around $130, and is probably the best value around for a multi-handset cordless phone system priced under $100. The quality, range, and features of these phones are very good. Additional handsets can be added for about $30 each.

Outpost.com - three 2GB USB Drives for $14 after rebate
(expired)

Update: Price dropped to $28 plus $6 shipping, or $14 after the $20 mail-in rebate. That comes to under $5 per 2GB USB flash drive.

Note, the quality of these drives will likely be worse than other USB flash drives, but it's still a great deal to have USB drives handy even if their performance turns out to be slow.

Outpost.com - 500GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive for $100
(expired)

Seagate 500GB internal Serial-ATA hard drive for $100 with free shipping. Runs a little louder than a Western Digital 500GB which costs $5 more and has similar performance.

Another hard drive deal. Western Digital 500GB 5400 to 7200 rpm for $95 after coupon EMCACABA . It performs slower than the Seagate and Western Digital 500GB drives mentioned above, no factor for storing music and videos, but if performance is important best to spend a few dollars more for a faster drive.

Update (3/2): Also, Dell.com has a Seagate 500GB Serial-ATA Drive with 32MB buffer for $110, twice the buffer of most other 500GB drives for improved performance.
