Tech Roundup: KDS 26" LCD $399, Intel Wolfdale E7200 2.53GHz CPU $145.60

Here is a trio of deals on computers and electronics items that caught our eye:

Infonec Computers has the KDS K-2626MDHWB 26" LCD (1920x1200, 300cd/m2, 5ms, 1000:1, HDMI, DVI, HDCP, Built-in Speakers, Black) for $399.00.
DirectCanada.com has the Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 Dual Core Processor LGA775 2.53GHZ 1066FSB 3MB Retail Box for $145.60.
NCIX.com has the ~~Garmin Nuvi 650 GPS Navigator for $253.03~~.

These are some good prices all around. Under $400 for a 26" LCD is pretty unheard of, and it has HDMI and HDCP capability as well. We're unable to confirm this detail, but some online research about this monitor indicates that it might very well include a VGA cable, DVI cable, and an HDMI to DVI cable. If this is the case, this is a heck of a buy! Not to be forgotten is the E7200. The E7200 is the "low end" of the new Wolfdale 45nm processors, but a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo processor for under $150 is a good value. The E7200 also boasts low power consumption (LegitReviews.com has some testing that shows that under load, it consumes as much as a Q6600 processor does when idle). Impressive!

Lastly, the Garmin Nuvi 650 is GPS unit with robust features including a 4.3" colour widescreen touchscreen, Bluetooth, 2D or 3D map modes, voice prompts that can speak most street names, SD card expandability, MP3 playback, and more. It currently sells at other retailers for $275 or more.
