Nice job!

Wow, that is an awesome deal. Congratulations.

I've been following the CompUSA liquidation at the 2 stores around here. No good deals popped up. I believe tomorrow or Monday is the last day the stories in my area are open. I can't decide if should go or not.

You should go on the last day during the second half of the day. That is when most stuff is 90 or 95% off. I remember getting Final Cut Express Upgrade for $10 and selling it on eBay for over $60. They'll also have wireless networking cards for $3 each and stuff, new in box that you could resell. Some of these cards work on Macs.

The very last hour, if anything is left it will be very cheap or simply given away.

Tomorrow is the last day for my local one. I went in a week ago, and they were selling broken stuff WAAAY too expensive. A $1600 laptop with a completely shattered LCD for $1000. "Tested nonfunctional" wireless mouse for $40, when they were charing the same price for a working one of the same model when they still had it in stock. And a "Tested nonfunctional", plus missing its power brick, 20" Apple Cinema Display (Aluminum,) for $499. $499?!?! They're only $599 brand-spankin'-new!

They had a 2.66 GHz quad-core Mac Pro for $1999. Not much of a savings, since it's now a generation-old model.

I'll be heading tomorrow mostly to see if they still have the Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar. It was $150, which is a bit of a discount from the original $300; but I'm hoping for it to end up even cheaper. (It was missing one of the hat switches, but the physical control was still possible.)

You will not see much stuff left for the last day. Mostly stuff you could resell on eBay, WiFi cards, random odds and ends like a FireWire hub. Maybe a few Apple software bits at 90% off, etc. Good time to get .mac if that interests you. Some AppleCare stuff, $10 AppleCare for your iPod, etc.

Awesome conquest

Nice score on the G5!

Now I hate you.

EDIT: For you bleeding heart liberals out there.

From Hell's Heart I stab at thee.

For hates sake I spit my last breath at thee.

There is that better?
