CarbonbigLast year I ripped apart a Rio Carbon 5GB MP3 player for the hard drive hidden inside. I also grabbed one for it's real intended use - playing audio.

If you happen to see this soon after it's posted and want one at a great price, check out http://www.woot.com and buy one for $125, which is more than half what they cost new... It's a refurb model, but hey - half price, ya know?

Anyhow, as many emails and in-person requests as I get for this player, I figured it was worth posting about.

By the way - woot.com sells one item a day, until it's sold out. They must have a whole boatload of Rio Carbons in their stock, and sometime between now and Monday night at 10pm Pacific they'll run out, or else Monday night something else will go on sale - so act now if you're interested.

(And no - I don't earn a single penny for suggesting this to you.)

The link behind "Rio Carbon 5GB MP3 Player" results in "Bad Request", & no page. This is true in the lockergnome story, & on your site.

Have a great day !
