Hey readers, Cheap Geek is late today because this cheap geek was getting numbers to his accountant. Yay! Pushing my taxes to the last minute makes me feel extra-cheap!
1. Buy.com has a great deal on a Dell Latitude D531 laptop. It runs off an AMD Mobile Sempron 3600+ 1.8-GHz processor and has 512MB of RAM and a 60GB hard drive. It also has a 14.1-inch screen and runs Windows XP Home. It doesn't have a CD-RW or DVD drive, but whatever. The D531 costs only $299 with free shipping and looks like an excellent second machine or student machine.
2. A couple years ago, shooting home video meant shelling out some real money. Now, with this deal from Tiger Direct, you can grab a Canon ZR900 miniDV for only $129.99. Sweet price. It's refurbished, but you get a one-month warranty so that's enough time to check it out.
3. It's a recurring theme in this column: Memory is getting so darn cheap! Costco is selling a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive with 1.5TB of storage (!) for only $109.99. Wow, that's cheap. That's the best storage deal I've ever come across.
