hehe true

Like finding a 20 that fell behind a dresser or somn

 

[ATMINSIDE]

129 with a mir lol. Not exactly "shocking" haha

Especially not when you can get this:

Nothing "shocking" today.

Nothing "shocking" today.

Only thing "shocking" today is the 480gb of kingston ssdnow! for more than the cost of a samsung 850 evo 500gb. Maybe the R5 will be "shocking" lol

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Careful

quoting yourself in a double post gets one yelled at by ED.
Also may or may not be a sign of extreme narcissism

But yeah. Technically a 470gb drive for the cost of a 490gb drive.
*refuses to fall for the advertised GB lie anymore*

It's not a lie, it's a difference in units...

 

[NZKshatriya]

Yes Yes I know that.
binary vs Base10.

But as we all know, there are 10 types of people in this world.

Its mainly me joking about other numerical marketing tactics. Like how when something is marketed at 99.99, it is done so intentionally, due to the mind saying to you that you are NOT spending 100 on said item.
Same reason why with tech if you see *666mhz it usually gets changed to *667Mhz.

It's not a marketing tactic though...

And 667MHz RAM is labeled as such because it is 666.6666...MHz, AKA rounding.

*bashes ATM with rather large salmon*
Meh, i accept defeat.....on this one.

 

[Bishoff]

$89 for a Fractal Design R5 plus an extra $10 off via rebate. I didn't know I wanted one until now:

The R5 is a great case.

Moderate yourself please. I'm updating the thread for the next days sales, not quoting myself to make emphasis.

We're also all versed in advertised storage vs actual. Not the thread to discuss that please.

 

[bob4933]

Not forgetting, just nothing really screams out today.

16gb of "v-color" 1600mhz ram for 64$ isn't too bad, but I've never heard of nor seen "v-color" before. Nice aesthetics and a lifetime warranty sounds pretty solid as well.

[bob4933]

So I think Im gonna list, and emphasize really good deals.

Todays List ->

Harmon Kardon receiver AVR 1710. In harmon kardon fashion, you get svelte looks and decent performance... at enthusiast grade pricing. At 300$ you can still do much better

JBL Loft bookshelf speakers. Im not intimate with these. I haven't been impressed with JBL anything lately, but if these are a hidden gem, feel free to chime in;.

Ergotron desk arm. These things are SO cool. If you have a big, sturdy desk and dont want to wall mount, this is an incredible option for you. Pricing not out yet, will update later.

19" TN refurb panel. no pricing yet

Rosewill usb 3.0 pcie add on card. no pricing yet

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Would take this over the Ergotron:

[NZKshatriya]

If that ergotron could handle a 32" I'd grab it.

[ATMINSIDE]

They made the pyramid (3+1) stand that I use, the hex-monitor stand that thideras uses, and the tri-monitor stand that Janus uses.
Top notch quality, great prices.

But... its NOT CHROME DUDE. Chrome is important to some people (Yes, Im kidding lol)

I always thought those things were hundreds of dollars, for 45$ I wouldn't have wall mounted my stuff lol. Lets see where the ergotron comes in price wise tho.

CHROME!!!!!


I'm curious to see where the Ergotron comes in as well.
Day to day though, EasyMountLCD wipes the floor with any other company I've found on pricing and quality.

 

[bob4933]

Reminds me of the actually gold plated cars I saw in Dubai on my many adventures there lol.
