Probably the 19" Widescreen Samsung LCD 940BW for $129.99 out the door, no rebates needed. The line was insane, so I decided to go to Staples first. Got everything I wanted there: DVD Burner, the Maxtor hard drive for $19.98, and some MCC004's for $2.98 AR. Back to Best Buy, and when I asked for the monitor, I was handed the 4:3 19 inch, since the 940BW was sold out.

I browsed the store for a bit, and saw a 940BW on the floor in an aisle, with a few DVD's and a USB drive. I asked the lady standing next to them in line if they were hers, and she said no, the lady who had them put them down and left a few minutes ago. Guess she didn't want to stand in line for 90 minutes to pay for them. I waited a few more minutes just to be sure, and then swapped monitors.

Afterwards, met up with my wife for a nice early lunch before picking up the kids from the grandparents. Not a bad day at all.
