"All" is not all. Wanted to get a discount on this 16GB Flash drive, but it said "This promo code BTENJNA35 you entered is only available for specific programs.".

You have to be recieving Newegg newsletter to be able to use the coupons.

I am. My account page shows me subscribed to all four optional email lists.

Hey all, dont think SSDs will improve your folding performance (maybe compiling after W/U finishes and unpacking after it downloads), but I got some SSD's in our sales forum thread:

From the [H] folders...

Newegg shell shocker:
Antec Neo Eco 520C for 39.99 with free shipping.

80+ and will run most boxen quite well as long as it isn't a SR-2 or GPU heavy.

Not having any luck with the code, is it still current?

It claims you have to have gotten the email from them, though usually I didn't think it mattered. In my case I had gotten the email with it. It may be a one time use per customer, because I cant get it to work again.

"valid code but no longer excepted"

Make sure you sign up for all of neweggs emails. I buy computer parts on a fairly regular basis, so I find most of the email advertisement to actually be useful with decent deals. Also recommend that you setup another email account and subscribe to all of newegg emails. As some of you discovered, some of the codes can only be used once per account. Having a backup account allows you to place another order, if you forget to buy stuff on the first one.

Yup...Thats exactly what I do. I get 2 identical emails. In my case it was unintentional,changed emails and they just keep sending them anyway.

How do you get around the fact that you have to sign in before the promo code works? Set up another account?

I am working with an ebay seller that is willing to sell the Opteron 6176s (2.3ghz, 12 core, MC) for $450 apiece through Paypal. Just throwing this out in case there is any interest in doing a group buy.

Check out that 6176 cpu before you buy it. According to the article on AnandTech, it gets 10% better performance than the 6174, but uses a good deal more power, doing it. For a folding rig, that could be an unexpected extra expense to run.

Also, (and I'm not too familiar with PayPal), but doesn't that add nearly $50 dollar expense to the cost of the item? Isn't there a cheaper way to pay?

I'll bet Norcalsteve, Macaholic, Tuigi, and Harlam have good input on this subject.

Is this seller top rated (98% at least), and not overseas?

 

[Posidon42]

He has good reviews and is in LA. I am not ready to buy anything yet, just researching.

As for PayPal, the fees are charged to the seller so I would still pay 450 from my perspective.

Good point on the power consumption though.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus $15 AR at Frys.com. Good deal for those of you putting together 4p rigs. Half the price of Newegg.

Note * Limit 1 per customer. Guess my gf and parents will be buying some.

If you go by the higher TDP, it's 22w additional for each cpu, which would mean 88w total. The question is would the extra 4% in speed be worth the extra 16% power draw.

In my situation it is, dont pay for electricity. Thanks for the heads up on 6176's.
