$250 Off the Alienware X51

Plenty of people are waiting to hear about the future of PC gaming from the couch, thanks to Valve's upcoming Steam Box. But playing games on Steam while chilling in your favorite recliner is something you can do right now. The Alienware X51 is a mini gaming rig, perfect for setting up on your TV stand or entertainment center. A 3.4GHz Intel Core i7 quad-core Ivy Bridge processor is backed up by 8GB of RAM. Plus, you'll have plenty of storage space for all those PC games with a 2TB SATA III HDD. While plenty of smaller rigs – or even larger game rigs, honestly – are dropping optical discs drives, the Alienware X51 includes Blu-ray, meaning it can double as a media machine in the family room. The very competent GeForce GTX 660 with 1.5GB memory completes this pint-sized package. You can get your own, right now, for only $1,198 (a savings of $250).

$100 Off the Nike FuelBand

Listen: it's almost April, and maybe you – like the rest of us – have been slacking on those New Years resolutions. Exercising is absolutely, positively way less fun than playing BioShock Infinite for five straight hours, but activity trackers like the Nike+ FuelBand at least add some fun to the mix. Essentially, the FuelBand lives on your wrist, and uses an accelerometer to track daily habits like walking, jogging, or maybe running in place while you secretly play more BioShock Infinite (hint, hint). The FuelBand then wirelessly syncs up with an app on your iPhone or desktop, and keeps track of how you're doing. Nike has sold a ton of these things, and generally, finding one in the store can be a bit of a pain. But today, you can get your own FuelBand for $149 (a savings of $100) plus free shipping.

Normal Price: $249.99 | Sale Price: $149.99 | Available at: Nike.com
