Get a 30GB fifth-gen iPod for $99.99

This is a Woot deal, so chances are good that it'll sell out quick. So what are you waiting for? Get over there! The refurbished models are available in black or white.

Quick! Before they sell out (and they will, mark my words), click over to Woot, and pick up a 30GB fifth-generation iPod for just $99.99 (plus $5 for shipping).

These are refurbished models available in either black or white. Curiously, the warranty expires after 90 days--not one year, as with most Apple refurbs.

Of course, given that these babies used to sell for $299, that's probably a risk worth taking. In fact, that's a slightly better warranty than you'll get from Newegg, which has 30GB iPod refurbs for $129 shipped: the coverage lasts just 60 days.

Although the iPod Touch is all the rage these days, let's not forget that the fifth-gen iPod was once the bee's knees. Here's your chance to score one on the cheap.

While you're at it, get this sweet Griffin iPod speaker system/dock for $39.99 (plus $5 shipping). It's a today-only deal as well, so make it snappy.
