SIM2 Domino D60: sub-$5k DLP projector
A home projector for under $5,000 wouldn't usually be groundbreaking news, but when it comes with a SIM2 logo you'll see enthusiasts interest perking up. Known for their behemoth DLP projectors, which can tip the scales at $30,000, the company has a reputation for incredible image quality. Now the new Domino D60, capable of 1080p, takes the place as one of the company's entry-level options, with SIM2 promising video better than projectors with 10,000:1 contrast ratios.

Super Talent PICO-C: 8GB of tiny, gold-plated USB storage

Dior iPhone case more expensive than the phone
With the iPhone launch date coming up quick (here in about four weeks) you'll need to start looking for a case. Since the iPhone is going for a bit cheaper than the first gen version you're likely to have a bit more cash flow to get a nicer case.

If you are itching for the absolute perfect case to compliment your iPhone though, then this is definitely the way to go. The case is being sold for $450.
