Buy.com has good prices and cheap/free shipping as well.  I just ordered a
WAP+card (802.11G) netgear combo from them, final price (after rebates)
will be $55 (no shipping charge).  If you're online shopping on a budget
(and not just for tech stuff) I'd suggest taking a look at FatWallet.com. 
Subscribing to their e-mail updates is beneficial as well.  Ocassionally
you'll find deals that truly are too good to be true (there's examples of
people getting $100+ items for free, after coupons, rebates and other
offers, some of which, admittedly, not everyone will be willing to use...
but hey, the deals are usually good even with out those gimick offers).
