Vol 1 was a bust, nothing I'm after. Why not actually have a CAMERA in the cameras section next time... or a monitor under Monitors... Surprised the $450 discount for the Macbook Air from MacMall didn't make the list, nor any of the super cheap Netbooks... (like the Eee from one of the office stores).
46" TV for 1700? similar TV lacking the useless 120hz option with a PS# for $999? I bought a 42" 1080p 60hz a 3 months ago for $500... 46" was only $200 more then. (was not a Sony, but I'd call that a plus!)
Hopefully Vol 2, 3, etc will be more worth while.
btw: that Dell "Server", its a E5400, 800MHz frontside on a 1066 bus (pointless) without VT, only 2MB cache, a cheap SATA HDD and and 1GB of 800MHz single ranked non-ECC DIMM, no RAID 5 support (even onboard), since it only supports 2 internal HDDS... A Barebones systems from just about anyone else would be a more powerful, more configurable system for less money and make a better server. Slapping the title "server" on a low end desktop that lacks a video card does NOT mean anyone should EVER use it for a server (especially that properly configured with a backup systems and base server software, enough RAM to justuify 64Bit, and 2 HDDs, this box retails for over $11,000. NO, that is NOT a typ0. A $290 server is an $11,000 system once Microsoft and Backup licenses, DR media, and RAID 1 drives get included (and you can't put 2 NICs in it as configured!) Why not simply go up a grand or two to a REAL server if you're already spending that much... and take advantage of hot swap drives, RAID and server hardware monitoring. Stupid, stupid, stupid...
