Sweet. I will take a look at OfficeMax.

Just remember that today is Cyber Monday...no, really it is. Online is trying their own verison of "Black Friday" by having sales today, when it is more likely people will be at their office with higher speed connections than at home.

EDIT - added links to stories.

Anybody know where we can get list of participating sites?

I agree. I signed up for the outpost.com email flier. They only send you one email each week with the specials. You get no other emails from them, and the specials are often very good.

filmy's post above is for today's deal at toolfarm.com - be sure to check there every day this week for a new one day deal.

ClassOnDemand has 50% off today, ending at midnight CST:

Use Promo code MADHOLIDAY5 during checkout.

For example Tim Duncan's "Complete Training For Vegas® 6" in 1024x768 video (for computer playback only obviously) $129.95-50%=$64.98.

I previously got TotalTraining's Dreamweaver 8 training DVD in high definition, loved it, and TT says they will not do a single SD DVD from now on. It does make a big difference when you can actually see what's going on in the UI especially...

COD also has Lightwave, Boris, etc. training at half-off today.

I found out about and bought my Dell 24" widescreen (which I love at this site):

I decided to go with a Maxtor 300 gig drive with a 16 meg buffer and a three year warranty which is $90 after a $45 rebate at Tiger Direct.

Storage Review gave it good marks when it reviewed it last year:
Overall, the MaXLine III snatches the single-user speed title from Hitachi's formidable Deskstar 7K400. Great performance, whisper-quiet operation, and high capacity make the MaXLine a compelling power user's drive.

I'll second the motion for www.techbargains.com. In a burst of nerdness last evening I bought a $70 portable DVD player (ostensibly for my wife...) and a really cool geek wristwatch--it's a Palm PDA on a wrist (made by Fossil)--for $30.

I'll be the envy of my pocket-protector friends!

From an AP story:

According to comScore Networks, non-travel spending rose 26 percent to $485 million on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Marketers have dubbed the day Cyber Monday as droves of consumers return to the office and use their high-speed Internet connections to click and shop.

[SNIP]

The most popular sites were ebay.com, which attracted 11.7 million consumers, followed by Amazon.com, with 5.6 million consumers, and Walmart.com, with 3.09 million shoppers
