... It's the MSI AE1900 Series Wind Top All In One 18.5” Touchscreen PC w/Intel Dual Core, 2GB, 250GB, Vista Home (the MSI AE1900-05SUS is white and the MSI AE1900-10SUS is black). I feel like these would have been really popular on that almost funny SNL sketch from a few years back with Noony and Nuuny (or whatever). Seems like a great product. Great reviews and all. Only issues is that I see some very competitive prices over at Amazon on this one. And usually, woot blows all the online stores away.

... VuPoint FSC1VPBX2 Film & Slide Digital Converter. It looks neat. But it caters to a really small niche. I would imagine that you need to have a lot of old slides and film lying around if you wanted to use this VuPoint Film & Slide Digital Converter. ANd who has that stuff these days? Maybe it's a good gift for you Great Aunt Susie or something. But then consider the fact that the VuPoint FS-C1-VP Film and Slide Digital Converter doesn't get great reviews, and there are hundreds of them to find online. Just be careful.

OR, get it for twice the price on Amazon (if the woot is sold out) ------->

... This is a Cuisinart DGB-600 Chrome/Black Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffee Maker w/ Thermal Carafe which seems like an ok buy if you're in the need for a coffee maker, but not if you really love perfect coffee. The reviews for this Cuisinart DGB-600 Chrome/Black Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffee Maker w/ Thermal Carafe are just ok. So, be mindful. But then, woot has also thrown in this Cuisinart Gold Tone Filter. Not sure what's so special about it, but it just sounds mega fancy.

I remember when I used to use filtration pitchers like this, sometimes I had issues fitting the whole pitcher under the faucet if the sink was small. LOoks like the Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher figured out a work around. That's the sign of a good product.

And now that the woot is over on this one, you can go ahead and purchase it for a reasonable price via Amazon if you wish ---------->
