Bargain Moose

When I build my computers, Memory Express is one of my main go-to suppliers, because of their extensive stock and Über Price Beat Guarantee, whereby they’ll beat competitors’ online or in-store prices by 25% of the difference.

• Check out Memory Express

Now they’ve marked down their clearance items by an additional 25%. However, you do have to go to a physical location to get these discounts. Click here to find a location in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, or Richmond, and to browse what’s available in those stores.

For those who prefer to procure their electronics without leaving the front door, they have several great deals on regular stock items, and are offering free shipping anywhere in Canada for orders over $250 or $5.99 flat rate shipping—which can be a substantial savings on the larger goodies.

Some of the goodies on sale that caught my eye:

• HP G62-320CA Dual-Core AMD Laptop with Targus Case – $329.99 (reg $484.98) = 32 % off
• Acer Aspire One D260-2364 - $199.99 (reg $299.99) = 33 % off
• Elite Digital Camera Start Kit With 16GB SD Card, Tripod – $59.99 (reg $97.96) = 39 % off

Get 58% off a Monochrome Laser Printer from Newegg Canada. Originally priced at $129.99 it is today’s shell shocker!

• Newegg has the Brother HL-2240 Monochrome Laser Printer on sale for $54.99 (58% off).

Plus, shipping is also free.

I’ve owned (or purchased for clients) three of the previous models in this series over the last ten years, and each has provided reliable trouble-free service.

Highly recommended if you don’t need to print color and you need fast, high quality, and inexpensive output.

Price only valid for today.

LG IPS231P LCD Monitor

I’m a big fan of LG products, particularly monitors—a pair of them currently adorns my desk, but NCIX is tempting me to upgrade. Until October 26, you can get the LG IPS231P 23 inch LCD Monitor for $199.97 (plus tax). This positively reviewed display normally goes for over $300.

• Click here to get the LG IPS231P LCD Monitor

IPS (In Plane Switch) technology allows this monitor to display more vibrant and accurate colours at wider viewing angles, making it ideal for users who do image processing work.

Plus, NCIX is including a Ground Shipping Promo for $4.99, which takes 1-2 business days to go out. For the more impatient among us, they offer expedited shipping options as well, ranging from $8.99 to $37.82. To save even more, arrange to pick up your order for free from one of their locations.

NCIX has never let me down in the past. I’ve assembled two computers now using components mostly purchased from them, and was pleased with the prices (as well as the advice) I received.

Dell just released new models so the ones marked ‘new’ are those and the other ones are the previous model. I have been looking for a laptop for my parents around the $300 range and am surprised to see Dell, a quality computer, coming so close to that.

The R behind the 14 is for the model with switchable lids, a rather cool personalization feature.

Inspiron 15 deals expire the 19th, August 2011.

This is a fabulous deal from The Source that is sure to sell out quick! The Source has display model HP All-In-One Destop PCs with 18’5 inch monitors on for $399.96! These babies originally cost $699.99! You save $300. They come with full manufacturers warranty still.

Why I actually like these is because they resemble the iMac in that they are all one piece – there is no separate monitor and CPU. They are extremely space efficient!

• 18.5″ widescreen monitor
• 4GB RAM

Here is a good overall review I found:

I bought this to replace a traditional desktop with tower. Without compromising features, I lke this machine’s compact desigh, the brightness of the screen, it responsveness, the feel of the keyboard, its power saving features and the HP help features. With the built-in camera, and microphone a whole lot less wiring.The only slight negative I see is the fragility of the DVD drive. Very easy to set up. and was shipped to my door in only 3 days for the Source’s low shipping charge. Very satisfied so far

My favourite of the deals is this Dell V515W All In One (Product) Red Printer- Wifi, Print, Copy, Scan, Fax for only $99.99, originally $179.99. You save $80! I have a wifi printer now and am overjoyed everytime I print something from anywhere in the house, even from my iPad!

Second favourite would probably be this NOKIA BH-216 Bluetooth Headset – Black. It is 56% off right now at only $18.99, originally $42.99. Soon it will be illegal in my city to drive while operating a cell phone, so headsets for those needing to take a call are going to become an essential accessories.
