    Metro Vacuum ED500 is $47 @Amazon!!!!! Hot!

    I own one of these as well to clean my computer cases. Its worth buying so you don't have to buy compressed air cans. Beware there is a downside to using this. After about 5 minutes of use (yes 5 minutes), the air it blows is pretty warm/hot. I have to wait about 30 minutes for it to cool...

    Microcenter i7-4790k $249.99 (-$20 with compatible motherboard)

    I was wrong on the sales tax, its only applies for i7 "laptops'. I read the email flyer wrong sorry guys. I'm not in a rush to build my next comp, so holding off on buying anything this black friday unless the deal is so sweet to resist. Fry's was showing 5960x for $899 and that is what I...

    Microcenter i5-4690k $179.99

    Looks like I read the email I got from MC wrongly, its i7 "laptops" that they will pay sales tax for. Sorry about the confusion.

    i7-5820K @Frys $276 w/promo code. today only. In store only.

    I've seen the 5960x as low as $888 but after taxes and gas, its still bleh. Hoping it gets abit cheaper than that, and I may bite.:D

    i7-5820K six-core (2011 socket) $277 @ Fry's 10/31 only

    Did you forget that these are only about 50-70 dollars cheaper after taxes. The brick and mortar places will have them for cheaper but with taxes added on it comes out roughly the same price as say newegg/amazon usually, I think we are seeing the price this low as they are trying to discontinue...

    i7-5820K six-core (2011 socket) $277 @ Fry's 10/31 only

    I saw this deal in the saturday email. But holding off for the 5960x to either drop below the $888 (lowest price they've had it). Or I might just wait till next year for the new enthusiast series.

    Microcenter LG 42" LN5300 LED S-IPS Panel $299

    I picked this up from Target today for $250 after taxes!! $319.99 price match to amazon 15% cartwheel 10% movers 5% redcard Can be even slicker if you have 5% for pharmacy presciptions. But $250 after taxes is amazing for my first HDTV:)

    NewEgg 4th of July sale

    Almost every retail store is doing this nowadays. The word "sale" is basically a price hike nowadays. Recently, I got a 50 dollars of 100 from bonton but ofcourse they jack up the price by 50 bucks on almost everything. Macy's/Bloomingdale does the same thing. The only true "sale" is Black...

    Surface Pro 3 Gets Real: Specs and Pricing Revealed

    SP3 with Broadwell would have been killer. Another year for 14nm Broadwell sigh. Guess that will be the SP4.

    Surface Pro 3 Gets Real: Specs and Pricing Revealed

    This really kills it. None of the models have LTE, 3rd generation and people have been constantly asking for this. $799 with LTE would have sold me. I'll just wait for prices to fall I guess, not worth it when you can go with some of the amazing Fujitsu hybrid tablet-laptops in the same price...

    Heavily Discounted Reconditioned Vitamix Blenders + Free Shipping

    Any opinion on the 6300 vs the 7500 model? I see the 7500 has longer blades, wonder if they wear out quicker since they appear to be thinner at the end from the pics.
