If they are available, it won't be til the last item, which won't happen until 8 or 9PM Friday, your time. I'll bet the last item will be a shirt again, since they launched the shirt.woot.com site.

Last item was a bag of crap. I couldn't get the page to load while it was up. Stupid Woot.

They had so much crap in this woot off that I just stopped watching it.

I really wanted to get one of those Console Coolers for my car.
The $20 video cards are good. I bought three of those.
I was also hoping for another big flat panel.

I think that was the fastest woot off I have seen. I really didn't check the item quantities, but they must have been pretty low.

The $20 X600SE made me realize just how old my X300 is.
I think I'll just use the onboard video on my new MB.

Those video cards are a fantastic deal, really. They're decent enough for midrange gaming (WoW or Counterstrike) and cheaper than even the crappiest cards newegg sells.

It was a sunny afternoon in March when she stopped by Woot’s creative offices. She said she was there to sell us ink cartridges for the office printer—but as it would happen, she also ushered our two wide-eyed interns into manhood. She called herself Elexa. What a vision! She was thin, but strong. Sophisticated, but sort of trashy. She did not give off too strong an odor of latex. Homer and Jake were no match for this seductress.
One at a time, she led them into our utility storage room—a room no one wants to go into anymore, thanks a lot Homer and Jake—and tutored them in the ways of physical love. But before she began, she asked each of them: “you don’t want me to be with child, do you?”
Homer and Jake both answered no. “In that case,” she said, “you’ll have to wear one of these.” And she produced reservoir-tipped prophylactics from America’s number one condom manufacturer, Trojan, a name that’s been trusted for over 80 years, though one hopes not by any single user continuously.
Then she thrilled and deflowered each of our interns in an order they determined by rock-paper-scissors. They’ll remember that day the rest of their lives—because when they left that utility storage room, they left their innocence behind. Along with like 15 reams of paper that no one wants to use anymore, since who knows what happened on it.
Homer and Jake didn’t speak to each other about that day for some time. Then, six weeks later, Jake turned to Homer in the middle of a big Fed-Ex envelope-stuffing project and asked “hey, you remember that ink saleslady? In the utility storage room?”
“Do I?” Homer said. “That was the most exciting 17 seconds of my life!”
“Me too,” Jake said. “But I’ve been thinking. Do you really care if she becomes ‘with child?’”
“I guess not especially,” Homer said.
“Me neither,” said Jake. “And seeing as how I don’t care that much—and you don’t care that much—what do you say we take these things off?”
And that’s why we have a seven-year supply of ink cartridges now, and why interns are no longer authorized to place purchase orders.

Honest answer: if you have a physiology or chemical sensitivity that isn't represented by the options available at your local drug store.
I would like to need a condom some day.
