Our Top Picks

Canon EOS-300D 6.3MP Digital Rebel
- High quality & affordable digital SLR camera.

The Canon EOS-300D 6.3MP Digital Rebel caries on in the company's long tradition of producing industry-leading SLR cameras with an affordable price. The Digital Rebel is quite possibly the best digital camera available for under $1000.

- Lightning fast drive rivals SCSI, super performance.

The Western Digital Raptor family of hard drives offers the best performance possible without dropping the cash for a SCSI setup, and even SCSI may have a hard time outpacing the Raptor! The Raptor features Serial ATA, 10k RPM, a fast 4.5ms seek time, an 8MB cache buffer, and a 5-year warranty.


Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1" LCD
- High contrast LCD monitor with impressive specs.

Its massive 20.1-inch screen size combined with a 600:1 contrast ratio, 12ms response time, and both digital and analog video inputs make the 2005FPW a superb all-around space-saving display. The 2005FPW is a wide-screen monitor supporting resolutions up to 1680x1050.


PNY Verto nVidia GeForce 6800 GT
- Top notch graphics and speed for gamers.

Usually speed sacrifices image quality, but extremely high-end cards like the 6800GT excel at delivering both. Gamers will love the high frame rates delivered by this card, even at extreme resolutions with maximum quality settings. Worth the money for hard-core gamers.


Canon Epson Stylus Photo R300
- Print vibrant photos at home with ease.

Photo printing has come a long way, and it's now affordable to print very high quality photos at home.
