- D-Link Cablemodem for $32 after rebate (expired)
A great deal on one of the best cable modems on the market.
Price is $44 plus about $8 shipping ($52), and a $20 mail-in rebate is available.
It is not compatible with Comcast's "Powerboost" feature, but works really well on other cable networks.
Most cable companies provide their cable modem, or you can use your own (like this one) and avoid renting their cheap cable modem.
After this cable modem was recommended by a couple cable technicians and online reviewers, we paired it with 20 megabit service and a D-Link DGL-4100 Router, and consistently achieved 20 megabit download speeds without any problems.
The D-Link DGL-4100 Router is available for $74 after rebate and coupon code ROUTER7146 at Newegg, or at ZipZoomFly for about the same cost if ordered with the cable modem. Update (7/19):
Price on the cablemodem raised $3, to $47 plus $8 shipping ($55), and the $20 rebate is still available ($35 after rebate).

Most other stores sell it for $40 to $45 after rebate.
Most cable companies can provide their own a cable modem for a $2 to $5 per month rental fee.
This cable modem works on most cable company's networks, can save you from rental fees for their modem, and in some cases provides better quality service than the modems they provide.
Newegg.com
- 8-Port Gigabit Switch $35 after rebate (expired: price raised)
Back again is a
D-Link DGS-2208 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is back at $45 with free shipping, and a $10 mail-in rebate is available.
This is a great deal, since D-Link makes good quality networking products, and this one has very good specs and good reviews on Newegg.
It connects up to 8 wired network devices and/or computers supporting 10, 100 and 1000 megabit speeds.
It supports auto MDI-X, meaning any of its 8 ports can be used to uplink to another Switch or router.
D-Link DGL-4100 Gigabit Router for $85.50 with code EMCAGADCE and a $20 mail-in
rebate is available ($65.50 after rebate).
No wireless capability, but if Internet performance is of utmost importance, especially if you pay for a fast 10-megabit or 20-megabit Internet connection and/or frequently use lots of simultaneous Internet connections, this is one of the best routers available in the sub-$100 price point. We tested one of these on a 20-megabit cablemodem connection, and consistently achieved 20-megabit speeds. A $45 Linksys router fluctuated between 8 and 15 megabits with the same downloads.
Logitech G15 USB Gaming Keyboard for $80 with free shipping code EMCAGADAJ and a $20 mail-in rebate is available ($60 after rebate).
Sells elsewhere for at least $75.
It's a versatile programmable keyboard with personalized profiles for each program or game. Has a built-in LCD display which can display information while running on some platforms, including a clock, CPU/Memory system usage, realtime score while playing certain multiplayer games, instant messaging with Trillian while playing a game, time left of songs playing in WinAmp, etc.
Its keys are very soft though (like a sponge), which is really good for game playing, but may not be the most comfortable for all-day use.
