[soybeanslave]

I saw this on Fat Wallet today and it looks legit. They might be doing something today and tomorrow before Black Friday?

Thanks, I will have to check this out. I love Newegg!

$99.99 shipped for a WD 500GB hdd is what I have my eye on.
Dunno if they'll (500GB hard drives...any manufacturer) get much cheaper the next week or 2.

 

[fleshconsumed]

Do they change deals hourly, daily, or is this all we get?

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Dunno, but that's a nice price on the WD 500G AAKS drive. Anandtech reviewed the 750GB AAKS a while back, & it was matching or beating the Raptor in some benches. Sweet....

How's the price to value for both the Intel chip, the 4GB RAM and the ABIT board?

 

[PurdueRy]

After the amount I have spent on deals in the past month...nothing here is tempting enough to get me to bite.

 

[Boo Boo]

i dont know why its secret, nothing to hide, bunch of stuff thats too much

 

[imported_kardien]

The 1TB Western Digital WD10EACS for $250 looked good to me, I bit. Thanks soybeanslave!

Well, I bought 4GB of the HP ram that was listed a while back. Ended up paying ~$18AR for it. I don't guess that's a bad deal for the OCZ...not great, but not bad. I got the Abit IP35-E for $69.99AR. While i'm not familiar w/the IN9, the after rebate price doesn't seem bad, but that's a hefty rebate. As far as processors go, ClubIT has the E2160 w/M0 stepping for $77 shipped. Granted it doesn't have the cache of the E4500, but if one overclocks the snot out of it, I really don't think one would notice a difference in performance plus you'll save $42.

Why wasn't i told about this? Thats it, i'm putting newegg on double secret probation haha

 

[jodhas]

warm but not hot, I'll hold my plastic for the Real Black Friday. Nothing to be secret about.

Yes but the 5000aaks and lower models do not have perpendicular recording as the 7500aaks has; which results in poorer performance. There is a significant difference between the 500aaks and 7500aaks from what I have read

 

[Shaotai]

I went for the DVD-R discs. 100 16x DVD-R discs for 16.99 shipped?! That's a pretty good deal, at least for me...

 

[MadScientist]

I'm also in for a 100 pack of the TDK DVD-Rs. $16.99 shipped is an excellent price for 1st class media, and NO REBATE.

According to this Wikipedia entry perpendicular recording increases storage density. It didn't mention performance enhancement, though I suppose it could be a side effect.

very true just read some benchmarks, 750aaks is so much faster. I guess a different beast inside.

I considered the frame as a wedding gift -- to be loaded with all their wedding photos -- but I don't "get" the WS feature: it might be nice for a wide Family-Reunion Photo, but how many pix crop well into that 16:9 (10?) shape? Consider how small "tall" photos will be, surrounded by acres of black space. Guess I'll pass.

For me, these are storage drives. Performance means very little.

Good price OP! :thumbsup:
