CIRCUIT CITY sells an Emachine Desktop PC, the T3101 for an incredible $209 after 10% discount followed by a $150 rebate. You must buy the T3101 in store though and use a Circuit City F&F coupon plus the rebate. Be quick though, it won't go on forever at that price. The specs are as follows: AMD Sempron 3100+ with 256KB cache, 256MB of PC3200 DDR memory, 60GB HDD, AGP and two free PCI slots, modem, 5.1 sound module, integrated S3 video module - It uses the K8M800 chipset.

You also get a double layer DVD writer, seven USB 2.0 ports, amplified stereo speakers and an 8-in-1 card reader. You can get a free Canon Pixma Photo Printer as well with it. The iP1500 stands head and shoulders above the competition. This $49.99 is yours free after rebate with combined purchase. You can get more information about the T3101 on fatwallet's forum.

Looking for portable memory to carry along you? Have a look at what ebuyer is actually offering and you will be pleasantly surprised. a 256MB USB 1.1 drive costs only £11.05+VAT. Maplin sells a 32MB drive for the same price. it is lightweight and shock resistant.

A USB 2.0 512MB version is even better value at £19.38+VAT. It uses the very latest super fast SLC controllers rather than MLC controllers hence giving even faster speeds. Comes in either red, blue or black colours.

Finally, a 1GB USB 2.0 drive, enough to pack all your important documents and a real desktop to be plugged everywhere, comes at only £34.03+VAT. Conceived by PNY, the Attaché comes with a see through casing.

Newegg has two excellent deals, the first one is the DFI Lanparty UT nForce 4 Ultra D socket 939 motherboard, the best motherboard that you can get for AMD. You can even mod this one to support SLI and then order a SLI bridge from Newegg. 76 reviewers have given it eggs up. At $129, it is expensive for AMD boards but costs around half what you'd pay for an Intel dual core motherboard. Dual GbE, four SATA2 storage, ten USB 2.0 ports, Fireiwire etc. If yuou're not after SLI, then why not combine the DFI with that Powercolor card. It is an ATI Radeon X800 with 128MB of 256-bit GDDR3 memory. It is a retail card costing only $159 after $30 rebate. The large HSF augurs of excellent overclocking capabilities. It crushes competition at this price. µ
