bump... still looking?

Wow. Wish I'd seen this before I bought the Norco case for my new server.

The Jordan Landing BB in Salt Lake City, Utah had 3 or 4 on the shelf at this price. I grabbed one. Too tempting to resist.

How about some real world, non-ancedotal-this-is-what-happened-to-me info on a large installation? It's not the same drive as this deal, but it sure puts the IBM/Hitachi DeathStar argument to rest - along with the argument that enterprise drives are better...

$15 pushed me over the edge on the M4. Bought.

Details are here: http://wiki.makerbot.com/cupcake Positioning isn't going to be the same as the resolution... but yeah. It was too tempting for me to pass up.

Saw this on slickdeals. http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3033479 http://store.makerbot.com/cupcake-cnc-ultimate.html Yeah, sure the newer version is more accurate, etc, etc, etc... but it's also almost 3x as much. I bit. I consider it a Father's Day gift to myself. :)

Damnit. I just jumped on this same deal at buy.com for $300.

If someone is going to the trouble of creating a gel mold of your fingerprint... they should just remove the drive from the computer and save the trouble. Use drive encryption if you're that worried.

Just got in the queue. 2xGTX480 -> 2xGTX580 for $30.22. :)

All fixed. I finally heard back from eVGA. I'm not sure they even know why I was denied the promo for Metro 2033 - I emailed them the same invoice PDFs I uploaded to their site and got an email reply within 5 minutes with the game codes.

I uploaded PDF's of the invoices right from the start. Yeah, it could be something simple - I just needed to vent a little. :)

<rant> Bought three eVGA cards last week; got this for all three: No response yet after replying to the email. Nice service, eVGA. Maybe I should have spent my $1200 elsewhere. </rant>

Got mine today. :)

I bit. We'll see what happens.
