CircuitCity.com - APC 325VA UPS for $15
(expired)

APC BE325R 325VA UPS is on sale for $15. It's a great deal for a small UPS for providing battery backup to simple devices. We recommend using a more powerful UPS for most computers (500VA and above), but this one will do fine for a basic and slim desktop PCs. Or it could be used to provide battery backup power to small electronics, such as an alarm clock, a fish tank filter, or a DVR, or with small electronics without any moving parts such as a cablemodem and a router. Fewer devices plugged in to the battery outlets will provide longer battery life (for example, protecting only an alarm clock may give an hour or more of battery time, whereas protecting a PC and monitor may only give 10 minutes).

CircuitCity.com gives free shipping with $24+ orders. You could order two of those UPSs for $30 total with free shipping, or one UPS and a 48-pack AAA Batteries for $25 total with free shipping.

CircuitCity.com - Multi-handset 5.8GHz Cordless Phone for $55 or $60
- Uniden TRU-94852 5.8GHz Cordless Phone with answering system, 2 handsets, and charging stations for $55 with free shipping. This is actually a really nice phone system and a great value for the price, and usually sells for around $75 at other stores.
- Uniden TRU-94854HS 5.8GHz Cordless Phone with answering system, 4 handsets, headset, and charging stations for $60 with free shipping. It apparently includes the same handsets as the above TRU-94852 model, but comes with 4 instead of 2.
The 5.8GHz frequency should not interfere with other household signals such as wireless networks.

If ordering one of these anyway, might want to check out a 48-pack of AAA Alkaline Batteries for $10, a great deal when included with your free shipping order.

CircuitCity.com - Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $30
(expired: 7/25)

Now on sale for $30 after using coupon 8MAJTZLA9L during checkout. To get the deal, begin to checkout with one of these in your cart, on the page which asks for a credit card number click "Yes" next to the question "Would you like to use an eGift card, gift card or merchandise card, or apply a coupon?" and enter the coupon code.

It is rare to find this popular item sold under $40 these days.

This device can be very useful for some people. It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port, and lets you slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive. This means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, eject the drive, and store it in a safe place rather than taking up room on your computer's internal hard drive.

For a great hard drive deal compatible with the BlacX, a 750GB Serial-ATA Hard Drive is available for $100, which is just under $0.14 per GB.

CircuitCity.com - Thermaltake BlacX Serial-ATA Hard Drive Docking Station $33
On sale for $33 with free shipping. This device could be found for around $25 after rebate a couple months ago, but now it is rare to find anyone selling it for under $40 especially after factoring shipping fees (probably because of its popularity), although Microcenter stores now sell it for $40 with a $10 mail-in rebate available.

This device can be very useful for some people. It is a docking station for Serial-ATA hard drives, plugs into a PC or Mac's USB port, and lets you slide in any Serial-ATA hard drive. This means you can create disks full of music, videos, pictures, and backups, eject the drive, and store it in a safe place. For example, say you filmed several hours of videos with your digital camcorder and do not want the videos taking up space on your computer's internal drive, you can store all those videos on another Serial-ATA hard drive, enclose the drive in an anti-static bag and keep in a safe place. A hard drive can store stuff easier and quicker than burning DVDs, and being able to quickly slide in & out hard drives without rebooting the computer can be very handy for some people with lots of data storage needs. Its USB2 interface can transfer around 25 MBytes/sec, which is about 1.5 GB per minute, or about 100GB per hour.

CircuitCity.com - APC 550VA UPS for $40
(expired)

APC BE550G Surge/Battery Backup UPS for $40 with free shipping. It has mostly positive reviews, and every other store sells it for at least $55 especially after factoring in high shipping prices for this heavy item.

The UPS can protect a computer & monitor from power surges and outages. If a power outage lasts longer than a half hour, its included software & cable can tell the computer to shut itself down gracefully to avoid data loss. This UPS can also be used to protect other important devices from a loss of power, such as an alarm clock, a fish tank's filter, or an LCD HDTV up to 47" (Plasmas may draw more power than a 550VA can handle). Keep in mind to not plug refrigerators and printers into the battery backup plugs. Also, although the UPS has 4 battery backup outlets, keep in mind the battery will last longer if you have fewer devices plugged into them.

For protecting devices with low power draw, such as alarm clocks, telephones, and DVRs, an APC 325VA UPS for $20, and coupon code KFAFKQZA4J gives 10% off ($18). Free shipping with $24+ orders, otherwise shipping costs $4. Coupon only applies toward 1 item in your cart.

CircuitCity.com - Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Receiver for $387
Onkyo TX-SR606 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver for $430 with free shipping. During checkout, enter promo code KFAFKQZA4J to get 10% off, making it $387. Coupon code entry is on the final checkout page, just above where it asks for a credit card number, click "Yes" next to the question, "Would you like to use an eGift card, gift card or merchandise card, or apply a coupon?"

Onkyo makes some of the best quality Receivers on the market, and other stores sell this one for over $430.

Update: Price raised by $10. Still a pretty good deal on a nice Receiver.

CircuitCity.com - APC 550VA UPS for $40 in-store
APC BE550R 550VA UPS for $40 with in-store pickup. Most stores sell it for over $50.

This UPS can protect a computer and monitor from power surges and outages lasting up to around 30 minutes. If a power outage continues, it can tell the computer to gracefully shutdown to avoid damage. A 550VA UPS can also be used to protect other important devices from a power outage, like an alarm clock, a fish tank's filter, or an LCD HDTV up to 47" (Plasmas may require more power than a 550VA can handle). The fewer devices plugged in to the UPS's battery outlets, the longer it will provide power during an outage.

CircuitCity.com - Crysis for PC $20
(expired: 4pm EDT, sold out)

Back in stock for today only at $20. Crysis is a popular first-person-shooter game for PC, and most other stores sell it for at least $36. The game was made by the creators of Far Cry - very similar but not as groundbreaking as Far Cry was when it came out, but Crysis has excellent reviews, and is well worth playing especially for $20. Here is a downloadable demo. A powerful graphics card is recommended to play this game.

Crysis is not the sequel to Far Cry. Far Cry 2 is slated for release this Fall.

Shipping costs $2, or free with a $24+ order. For example, add a 48-pack AAA batteries for $10 and total cost is $30 with free shipping, or a 50-pack CD/DVD Sleeves for $6 for a total cost of $26 with free shipping.
