What computer part would you buy for $30-35?

[compudog]

I'd buy some blank CD-Rs. I'm getting low...

where do you guys find these absolutely insane deals? I'd not be hesitant to go for them if I knew about em. Z560's for $19? lmao.. they're $200-440 here! $19 ($30, $40, whatever) would be an incredible deal and also much better than my current cheapo $50 yamaha 2.1 setup.

40-60GB HDs for this price? @#$#@!L$KJSAD.f... show me the linkage!


the prices i have to choose from

Check the Hot Deal threads for the Z560s. You have to call and PM and also use the $10 coupon off $50.

how does all this work anyway? i've never done anything like this, through AT i mean. I always buy stuff in person or whatever. people probably wouldn't trust me since i don't have some sort of 'good trader's history' or whatever. so I *call* and PM (wouldn't have a prob w/that if it's such a good deal tho)..

how bout international shietting and handling? I'm in Canadiana, so would that be problematic to the yanks below?

It's not "through AT". It's hot deals from retail stores & websites that are posted here so people know about them. Just visit that forum every day and you'll find out about the best deals available on a wide variety of stuff.

And if you're patient, you'll find things that come along like a 40GB 7200RPM Maxtor hard drive for $10. (Well, I got a 60GB drive for -$10, but I'm a special freak incident. )

 

[zCypher]

have any old 20-30GB's you can sell me for cheap?

 

[Red Dawn]

I'd buy a P4 3 gig for $35.00 (if some sucker was dumb enough to sell it for that little)

Keyboard, memory, what..?

The best item I can think of that I saw recently was 256MB ram for $25. Otherwise I can't think of much I'd want to buy that would be WORTH it at that pricerange. Hot deal on CD-Rs maybe.. but otherwise you get nothing good for $30. What do you think?

Ram
Logitech MX mouse
Head phone
Java programing book

He mis-typed. The deal is for Z540s, not Z560s. Sorry.

edit: it's right here

Need a gamepad? You can get a kickass Gravis Eliminator Aftershock

 

[Liviathan]

A fax modem.

I haven't had a modem installed on my pc for 3-4 yrs.

 

[katka]

I got a couple of 120 GB Hard Drives for $39 each from a recent Hot Deal. After that, it is difficult to place and amount on an item.

 

[NokiaDude]

Antec 350w PS and a much better HSF.

I picked up a spindle of 50 CDs for $15cdn :Q and a new black keyboard for $10 (both new). Seemed both like good deals to me, and I needed to test to see if my keyboard was dying or if it was my mobo's fault. So now I will know - if this keyboard randomly dies as well, then it's not the keyboard at fault, but the mobo (K7S5A). And I have 50 new blank CDs, yay.
