* Geeks.com - refurbished HD-DVD Player for PC $26
A refurbished (not new) Toshiba SD-H802A HD-DVD Reader drive for PC for $19, and they gave us coupon code hotdealsclub for 10% off. Add about $7 to $9 for shipping. A decent deal if you’re looking to play HD-DVDs on your PC, and have an older IDE drive interface inside your computer. This refurbished product only comes with a 3 month warranty.

If you are looking for new drive, a HD-DVD Player for Xbox360 costs $50 plus $5 shipping ($55), and can connect to a PC.

Note that most HD-DVD and Blu-Ray player drives for PC will not include software capable of playing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray movies, so you are on your own to figure how to play movies with your player. Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra version 7 included both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray playback, but HD-DVD was removed from version 8.

* Dell.com - $350 off $999 Inspiron Desktop Computers, code: 846R2FJ08MV90T
Coupon code 846R2FJ08MV90T gives $350 off any Inspiron Desktop computer configured to $999 or more. Example configuration:
o Inspiron 530 Desktop with 24″ LCD and Quad Core CPU with XP or Vista for $699. Add a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU and a E248WFP 24″ LCD Monitor to bring the price to $1049, apply the $350 off code to get it for $699. The Windows XP model has an upgrade to XP Professional for $20 more, well worth the upgrade. Comes with only 1GB of memory, but RAM is very cheap to upgrade these days. Even if you do not want the 24″ monitor, you can probably get about $350 by selling it on Ebay, leaving you with a pretty nice Quad Core desktop computer at a final cost of about $350.
o Inspiron 530 Desktop with 22″ LCD and Quad Core CPU with XP or Vista for $659. Add a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU, 22″ E228WFP LCD Monitor, 2GB of the 800MHz memory, and a 320GB hard drive to bring the price to $1009, apply the $350 code to get it for $659.
Free shipping.

Unfortunately the power supply in the Inspiron desktop computers cannot handle the powerful “double wide” graphics cards, such as a Geforce 8800GTS. Older model Dimension XPS 410 desktops (also known as Dimension 9200) can handle those cards and can be found by searching for XPS 410 in the Dell Outlet for about $400. If you choose to buy one of those, you purchase upgrades separately and install yourself, such as a Quad Core Q6600 CPU for about $200, 2GB memory for about $20, and a Geforce 8800GTS 320MB card for about $110.
