    [DEAD] $30 off $150+ @Newegg with Paypal Checkout, Cyber Monday

    I was trying to grab the Crucial M500 480GB. I already have one and I am going to try a RAID 0 array on a new build. I ended up getting in on the Amazon deal for $159.

    PSA: Amazon Prime going up to $99, lock in lower rate now

    Still worth it to me for shipping alone. Video and books are just a bonus. 9 times out of 10, I will order from Amazon over Newegg, just for the return policy. No restocking fees.

    [DEAD as of 7/3] Red Hot (?): Western Digital 3TB external HD deals at Tigerdirect

    I now use all my rebate cards to immediately buy Amazon gift certificates. They can be any amount and don't expire. I buy more from Amazon than anywhere else. For these things that require credit card subscriptions, I always use virtual CC numbers for a couple of dollars and make them expire...

    Onkyo TX NR809, $427 free shipping

    It has 7.2 Analog Pre-Outs. I have it and have been very happy with it. When I first got it, it had a lot of HDMI handshake issues when changing resolutions. You would end up with a pink screen. This was virtually eliminated via a firmware update.

    Warm/Hot: Cyberpower 1200VA UPS - $99 @ Microcenter

    From what I have read, with a PFC that high, it is probably Active PFC. Last week during the hurricane, I learned the difference between the two UPS types. I have a PC running a PPC 750W power supply on an APC 750G UPS. When the power went out, the PC shut off immediately. Apparently, this is...

    Hot or Not? Sapphire 6850

    I have two of these in CF and they play everything I am currently playing at 1900x1200 at max settings. They were a big step up from the 4870X2 I previously had.

    WHS 2011 $50 @ SuperBiiz

    I have looked at them, but I have not seen a need yet.

    WHS 2011 $50 @ SuperBiiz

    I reluctantly tried the new version of WHS. I really didn't like that they removed the pooled storage. Once I got it up an running, I quickly retired my V1 WHS. The removal of the drive extender has been a non-issue for me. The new product is much quicker than the old. The other features such as...

    I have one of these. It is a cheap Sheeva plug. It is easy to install Arch Linux on it and have a low power linux server.
