When I'm looking for any deals on PC hardware, I don't even bother to check other sites. I just check here and see what Fooshnik has found recently. Better than a personal shopper. Thanks Fooshnik!

I read a bunch of reviews for Seasonic PSUs in general before I picked up the this X850 right after Christmas. All the reviews I have seen have pretty much been excellent for all Seasonic PSUs. Finding this one at 110.00 after MIR just made it even a sweeter deal.

Yep, I bought one of these the last time they were at this price. Hard to go wrong with this one.

Just read a review on this and a similar Hitachi drive. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/hitachi_ultrastar_7k4000_4tb_vs_western_digital_re_4tb I think their main gripe was the retail cost (460.00) At 72.50 per TB, this is indeed a good buy. Good find!

I grabbed the same deal on this power supply just last month on NE. Nice to see it again for the same price after MIR. Great PSU!

Yes, no doubt. Makes me wish I had held off a bit on the 7870 I bought, but had not heard of these cards when I bought mine.

I think the OP has a valid point about the threadcrapping. He wanted to share what he found with others, then has somebody come in and basically say "That deal is not that good, this one is better" If you have a better deal, then post a link and let people decide how good of a deal it is.

220.00 for performance close to a 7950. Not bad!

Yes, I am familiar with Rosewill. Still have not made your point on how this is a better deal than the Seasonic. I look at the JohnnyGuru site frequently, as well as Anandtech, Guru3D, HardwareHeaven, Xbitlabs, HardOCP, TechSpot, etc, etc, Let's get back to the actual point of this...

Regardless of what any one website says about a Rosewill, I would not hestitate for a second to pick a 80 Plus Gold certified Seasonic over a Rosewill if the prices were similar. Not saying the Rosewill is not a good performer, but Seasonic quality is pretty much a given.

I got the same email from them a few weeks ago on a new Gigabyte board. I posted a negative review on resellerratings.com and they contacted me via email about 30 minutes later. Initially they were going to give me a new board, but I had pointed out that I had already purchased another board...

See first post.

As stated before, the promo code was ONLY good for one day (1-16).

Update 1/19 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151102 Back on sale now with a 40.00 promo (48 hours only) + 20.00 MIB 119.99 so not quite as good as the first time.

They tried that with me just a few weeks ago, but a quick post on resellerratings.com fixed that issue up quick, fast and in a hurry :D
