"Automatically back up and protect your digital memories, centralize your media and content for sharing with friends and family, and enjoy your digital media while at home or away with the HP LX195 MediaSmart Home Server. The LX195 is the first HP MediaSmart to be powered by the efficient Intel Atom processor, which helps use less energy and save you money on your electrical bills. A Sleep Mode conserves energy and saves you money in more ways than one. The built-in sleep mode consumes only 3W of power, and the server can take on many of your PC's responsibilities, enabling you to turn off your individual computers to further save energy and money."

People, this is an AMAZING deal! Amazon normally sells this for $472, but it's on sale right now for $199, a whopping 58% off. This is a full-fledged Windows Home Server, with all the awesomeness that entails, but it's aimed at someone who doesn't need ungodly amounts of storage right out of the box - it has 640 GB of storage, and no internal storage bays for expansion. It has four USB ports though, so you can easily expand it using external USB hard drives. This isn't the right product for everyone, but for $199, this is a great product for anyone that doesn't have lots of digital media but has multiple computers and is looking for an easy way to keep them backed up. I believe that Windows Home Server is a truly fantastic product that should be in every home, and I've never seen such an affordable way to do it...and what a gift this would make!

"You shouldn't have to stand in a long line to get a great deal.

These limited-supply offers will go quickly but we'll add new ones throughout the day, every day this week, so you can skip the long lines and still save a bundle."

Amazon.com has some great deals today (Fuji Finepix camera for $79 anyone?), so if you're going to do some online shopping at Amazon, do me a favour and use our affiliate link. It costs you nothing, but gives back a bit to the sites that you enjoy. Thanks! :-)

I've previously reviewed the TSAT-2000s and the ASW-10 subwoofer from The Speaker Company and found them to be an excellent value. A good thing just got a little better as they are having a preholiday sale with 20% off almost everything, using the code Most15. They also offer free shipping, a 30 day in-home trial, and free return shipping if you are not satisfied, so if you are in the market for speakers, there are some great reasons to give these a shot. I've had my set for a year now and am still very pleased with them.

Amazon.com has kicked off a big sale on their Blu-ray discs, and the prices are finally starting to get reasonable: many of the DVDs are under $20, and some are in the $15 range - and with Blu-ray players now selling for under $300, we may finally start to see some momentum for this format. There are 83 Blu-ray discs involved in the same, so there's a little something for everyone. [Affiliate]
