- mini mobile photo printer for $28

- Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Laptops $30
Logitech V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Laptop Computers for $56 with free shipping, and coupon B8KGRS83$4583W gives $26 off in the cart.

- Vizio 47" LCD 1080p HDTV and wall-mount for $850
Vizio VT470M 47" 1080p LCD HDTV for $849 with free shipping.
Also includes a tiltable wall-mounting plate.
Most stores sell just this TV for at least $100 more, without a wall-mounting plate.
Wall-mounting a TV and hiding the wires look very clean and cool.
To install the wall-mounting plate, you need a stud finder to locate at least 2 studs in the wall, a bubble level, and a power drill.
Flat plates (like the one included) will work with large TVs and either wood or metal wall studs.
Note that putting a 37" or greater TV on a wall plate with an extendable arm may cause damage to metal studs, which is why a flat plate such as this is safer for mounting a large screen TV in homes with metal studs.
Additionally, there may be certain fire-code restrictions when running an electrical cord through the wall, so consulting an electrician is strongly recommended before running wires through the wall.
Also if you rent your place rather than own, check with the landlord for permission to drill into the studs.

- Inspiron 13" Laptop for $412
Inspiron 13" Laptop in Blue with Dual Core T4300 2.1GHz processor, Windows Vista, 160GB hard drive, 2GB memory, 4-cell battery, webcam, CD/DVD Burner, and wireless-g for $399 plus $13 shipping.

Dell.com
- computer speakers for $9 (expired)
Dell AX210 Stereo Speakers for $9 with free shipping.
Appears to be a pretty nice deal if you're looking for simple speakers with good reviews, without paying a lot.
It has a regular 3.5mm stereo audio plug, and powers through a computer's USB port instead of a regular power outlet making it a little easier to use with a desktop or laptop computer.
The USB power means it's harder to use with an iPod or portable music player, so this is really designed for use with a computer.

Most other stores sell it for around $100.
