Don’t know if any of this stuff is useful for hackers and modders, but these guys are having a free day (you only pay shipping) starting at 9am:

Can someone pick my jaw off the floor?

will this work to connect a few knobs?
nice… but is it just me or is the site really not loading?! too many 10$ whores i guess 
The site is incredibly slow, but if you keep refreshing then it will eventually load.
Have we killed Sparkfun? It’s now not responding at all.
it’s on.. but the site doesn’t respond :-/
I can’t be arsed now. That was a fine waste of time. Anybody get anything?
i’m up to the payment, but not coming further than that..

Success!
Woot! Got me some free rgb leds comin my way (:
Keep pounding away at the refresh button… you’ll get through eventually.
However, 1.5hrs after opening the sale, they’ve already gone through 45K of their 100k limit for this.
Goood luck!

93k now
I tried relentlessly and I couldent get the checkout page to load! 
Event is over…had about 6K left for free by the time I could even look at a page…it was gone in 10 minutes
I tried all morning, but no luck… I don’t know anyone that got through…
