Figured we could have a thread that could alert people when there is a Wootoff, just revive it every month or so.
BTW:
THERE IS A WOOTOFF

Woot.com is a website that sells high tech shit cheap. It's normally surplus shit or stuff that needs more press in the geek/early adopter community. But sometimes they launch BRAND NEW items. Razer has done some launches there.
They sell one item a day normally, at 10PM PST. During a Wootoff, it's one item after a number.
All items are always limited.
Wootoffs are how geeks SHOULD shop. Thank god most don't.

bulk (dare i say closeout) items had cheaply. http://www.woot.com/not quite sure what is worth posting about, maybe there is some additional unknown content available if you actually sign up for the service. |

I have yet to see this, it would nice to know what item to get excited about as opposed to warbling wootoff!!! and driving people to the site to see a radar detector, or maybe it's the craptastic upscaling dvd recorder? either way I am underwhelmed a bit. the prices are good but unfortunately the items usually aren't all that desirable, but who knows maybe we will see some vastly discounted UO game cards there today! |

I've gotten all kinds of weird crap from them. Half-price Razer mice, a vesa mount for my lcd, Razer Barracuda headphones, an 84" 16x9 projection screen (I don't have to show 16mm films on the wall anymore), lots of things.
It's not a store so much as someplace to check occasionally to buy things you didn't know you needed, or cheap.

I got a portable DVD player (no region coding and skips ad shit), a Nokia N700, and 2 for 1 pcmcia wifi cards from them. All dirt cheap. I missed out on the 2 for 1 USB gamepads for $14 :(

No lie.

Damn, I missed the mice? I really need a new mouse. mine's freaking out in TF2 now when I try and turn fast. I've still got a plain old optical mouse. I hope the laser ones have more updates per second because I think that is what's freaking the game out.
A friend of mine got the dyson vacuum cleaner a few weeks ago.. that was a pretty sweet one.

The roomba makes living with a cat much more tolerable. I just turn the thing on a couple of times a week before I head out and come back to a clean(er) house. My cat ignores the roomba, until it thwacks his bed. He just sits up, stretches and moseys on over to another spot out of the way of the robot. |

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Me neither. I just have a list of bookmarks I go down.
Also, w00t is awesome. I got a cheapass 20gb mp3 player there. Sure, it's about twice as thick as an iPod, nto sexy at all...but i was about $65, and it gets the job done.

You guys would seriously eat that much cheese? Or would it just be some kind of nerd symbol?

Razer Pro|Type keyboard.
The white looks better than the black. It's not a great keyboard for people with big hands, but Agnarth has the black one and loves it.

I think it looks sexy. Too bad white keyboards become slightly brown keyboards.

My desk tray already has a wrist rest on it, so that bottom part of the KB would shift the actual keys way too far back for me. =/
