100 posts ULTIMATE MADNESS!!!



In celebration of reaching 100 posts (wowzers!) I'm going to do an extra large Midweek Madness. Like most of you are probably facing up to, Christmas is rapidly advancing so that means you needs gifts and ideas tout de suite! And as I am on a hundred post high, I will oblige.



37" LCD TV from BigPockets

This looks identical to my 37" Hannspree, which cost €500 delivered last year. Well worth the money in my eyes. Approx €420 including shipping

Yankee Candles - the stink of good cheer



Want to fill your house with Americanised Christmas smells? Sure you do, it'll mask the smell of gin! All Yankee brand candles are half price at Home Store + More.

Cheap printers at Tesco



Tesco have been quietly doing good deals on printers over the last couple of weeks. You'll find a variety of Wifi enabled or multi-function Lexmark printers for under €40.

Branch 309 Shoe Sale



Buying shoes online is always daunting. Branch 309 are nice to deal with, so you could do worse than dipping a toe (hur hur) here. The sale makes their good prices even better!

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Branded-Footwear-at-Branch309



Portable Mega Drive



It contains 20 Mega Drive games and costs €22.49. I mean, come on. It also has Tv-out.

4GB Micro SD card



4GB Genuine Kingmax TF Micro-SD Memory Card for ~€7.50. Can't knock that.

This year the dollar is up and the pound is down, so grab those british bargains

Hah. A good price for this expensive space heater. Still, cheaper than a Quadro 5800.

DVICO 6500 Multimedia Player 1TB, €449 ex. shipping

For those of you who missed out on Monday's iBOOD Argosy 500GB offer, or who couldn't decide in time if it was what they wanted, here's what it aspires to.
The DVICO 6500 is a pretty high-end piece of kit. "Does it support format X?" Yes. End of discussion. It is one of the best devices ever for format support, especially HD because this sucker goes all the way to 1080p without breaking a sweat, unlike the 720p/1080i Argosy.


The 1TB SATA drive is almost the least interesting part, given that you can replace the Argosy's 500GB SATA drive at any time. A second drive bay would be nice, given the size. Still, better than a kick in the teeth.

I haven't used divxplayer.nl myself, but I hear good things. Head over to MPC club to find out more.

Oh, and why is it a bargain? Well, check out the usual price... (full specifications available)

Play Big at Misco, €146.80 shipped

Yes, it's the same projector that cost €200 from elara back in the day. I picked one up then and I'm not sorry in the slightest. These are in limited stock so grab them while you can, last time they went quickly.

Comes with a free projection screen too! So it's cheaper AND you get a freebie!

UPDATE:

Unsurprisingly, this now appears to be out of stock. Maybe a few people might be tempted to part with theirs on ebay et al?

Another hard disk camcorder. They all cost around 300 beans and all have 20 - 40 gigs of memory. The only differentiating factor is battery life and this pissed off guy says it drains rapidly in standby mode. Not ideal when the stated charge life is 110 minutes..

A really strange mobo with some funky heat pipes. If you buy it, make sure the bios is the latest version.
