Just bought the following from Newegg:
1) a 17-inch Sony LCD for my wife, as her college graduation present,

2) and an LG DVD writer for me (to help save space on my hard drive for my bittorrent habit).

This DVD-writer, which got excellent reviews, was only $51! It's amazing how cheap they have gotten over the past year. It handles just about any format out there too.
