Got a kickass Woot! today

I was able to get my hands on today's Woot! before it sold out. It is a Rockford Fosgate digital music bundle that allows you to stream digital music from your computer or Rhapsody to your home stereo via 802.11b. It also includes 20GB car-based MP3 server with removable hard drive and 802.11b capabilities. So you can sync up your MP3 collection with your car system via wireless. How cool is that?

The retail price for all of the components is between $600 and $700; however, many retailers are sold out of the receivers. Woot! had the whole thing for $199 plus $5 shipping, so I couldn't pass it up.

Because I already have multiple HTPCs in the house, I have no need for the digital music receiver and wifi card. I plan on selling those items on eBay. I checked the closed auctions for the same receiver and those units have been selling for $150. If I can get $150 for the receiver and $25 for the wifi card (which retail for $350), the car system will end up costing me around $30. I love Woot!
