Small sale.

Best deal in there are the Pioneer SP-BS21-LRs (the BS41's little brother) for $50.

I'm in for that SeaSonic SS-760XP2. That's the best deal I've found yet on these PSUs, which are praised for every review i can find on them. I actually just ordered the 660XP2 today at lunch for $149.99/Prime on Amazon.com, but am cancelling due to this sale! :thup:

I had been holding off for about 2 weeks on a PSU purchase, the prices have been fluctuating dramatically. But even if you don't do the MIR, this is an amazing deal on an outstanding PLATINUM 80 PLUS PSU. For $119 free shipping before MIR.

$99 AFTER MIR!
 
I'd stay away form that TP-LINK router too. I'm on my 2nd Archer C7, and have been having major issues with the dual-band just completely dropping off on multiple devices. Updating the firmware did not resolve anything.

The first one did it out of the box, I thought it was the wifi card in my new laptop, but then I noticed my Galaxy S3 and iPad were being disconnected as well. RMA'd it through Amazon, they sent a replacement, and it just started doing the same thing.

The setup/management is bogus too. They want you to go to a website to manage the router, but the registrar is expired. The only way to set it up is to plug it directly into a computer, and connect with the IP address. I sent several emails to the support team, but never heard back from them.

Stay away. New company, REALLY annoying activity lights. I'm wondering how they've received good reviews everywhere. $ounds fi$hy to me.
 
TP-LINK isn't a new company, but you certainly do get what you pay for with them. I steer clear of their routers as a general rule.
 
Its pretty new, about half the age of giants like Linksys/Belkin.

I'll put it this way.

About 5 years ago I bought one for my wife when we were still dating. It was $20, and the fact that it needed to be rebooted almost every day showed why it was $20.

The company has been around long enough that people should realize by now that they're definitely not focused on quality or stability.

Ah, I did not know they have been around that long. I haven't had to buy networking equipment in quite some time, n the local shops around here(Microcenter/Best Buy) have been advertising them as a new brand.

The scary part, is that they are on-par with the other guys' pricing, so, I assumed too much. I miss the good days of Linksys.
 
lol yeah especially when it's just an SSD, they ship those in bubble mailers for probably like $1-2.
 
I find it quite amusing that a $499.98 order doesn't qualify for free shipping.

On the flip side, if you can't afford that extra 99 cents, I don't think you should be spending $500 on an SSD in the first place :D

Edit: Neuro, as far as speakers go, I always figured go by other user's recommendations and then find a place that actually lets you listen to them, since speakers are one of those things where you can't really say X is better than Y since everyone is different. I mean, I like Sennheiser headphones, can't stand Skullcandies. Got my sister a pair of Sennheiser IEMs, she broke them, got a pair of SCs, says she likes them better and I should get a pair myself.

It's still funny, with so many places having things like "Orders $25 and up get free shipping!", and the promo code removes an odd $11 to start with. I'm trying to convince myself I don't need to afford it, anyway :) That extra shipping charge just helps stop me from impulse buying :)
