We're moving...

Blogger is nice, but from time to time it does slow down. So I've registered a new domain name and am moving the Tech Deals Blog to http://www.my-tech-deals.com/.

Come on by and check out the new digs!

I missed the 399 Everex C7-M laptop notebook at BestBuy, but MicroCenter has an Acer for 399, 349 AR.

Adobe Creative Suite 3

I'd love to buy Adobe's CS3 package through FatWallet (who's now offering an 8% cash back on Adobe.com purchases) but they still haven't reported my purchased of CS2 from February, which should result in over $100 back. What's up with that?

Unfortunately, Upromise.com does not have an agreement with Adobe.com, and the rebate is only 4.5% with NestEggz. :-(

Here are some other places to get Adobe CS3:

Cheap Laptop

I won't buy this one because I already have two Everex laptops, but I found this thanks to Dealnews.com:

GQ NX-L513 Celeron M 420 Notebook with 15.4" display 512MB ram, 40GB, Combo drive, Microsoft windows vista Basic

Alternatively, you can check out the Everex Stepnote NC1503.

Aprevia X-QPack Machines

We just built two of these machines with Via C7 Motherboards, they consume about 30 watts which is a lot more than I'd hoped, but they should be pretty capable machines.

I rebuilt one of the PC Chips V21G VIA C7 using a better power supply and it uses about 10 watts less!

Ultra Rebate

I'm sending in my Ultra Rebate today... $30 is not bad at all!
