Would you say that the tech deals lately are just terrible?
 
I have a "deal" for you

on a serious note, ebay is your friend. Stay away from the apple store.

This. Also, you can get a pretty good video card for > $100 now, as long as you're not expecting to play everything at 2500x1500 w/16XFSAA or whatever.

I think you have the caret in the wrong way...

Anyway, hard drives deals have not been great lately. Until I see a 1TB Western Digital BLACK for like $70, hard drive deals suck. 😛 All I have been seeing are those shitty 5400RPM Green Power hdds go for that.

Video card deals have been great though... I saw like a 4870 or something for only like $100? Wtf....

Monitors maybe... they are just trying to get of the old models I think. The dells have not been as cheap as they should. (Ultrasharp series at least) It was like $430 for the 24" ultrasharp (after tax). Totally not worth it for a two year old monitor.
 
^^ Heh, you're right, I reversed it 🙂

I have a WD Green 1TB, and it runs great. The areal density means it's faster in real-world use than most 500GB 7200RPM Drives 🙂

I would tend to agree if I had the money to spend on them! 😛
 
For the fellow Canadians here are any of these Canada Day deals good?

I've been out of the hardware buying loop for a while so I no longer know what a good price looks like. Some of those look good to me.

There have been a few deals under $70 for the Hitachi 1tb drives, which actually outperform the WD Blacks.
 
32inch TV for 300 is pretty damn nice. 350 dollar laptops are also slick. If you offered those prices 3 years ago, people would have a heart attack!
 
I find all tech is insanely cheap now days. It's just that we're so used to it so we keep expecting even more deals.

Hard drives in incredibly cheap, I can't believe how they've gone down in price, and up in capacity. 😱
