Maybe the newer Herman Miller models are better. I just can't stand the hard front plastic rim on the Aerons, it's so uncomfortable on my legs.

Steelcase chairs are so much better than Aerons though.

I had no idea... I thought house prices were the only thing pumped to crazy levels right now.

Holy crap, the ZOTAC 3090 I got for $1500 is going for $3000 on eBay? And the 1070 I got for $400 in 2016 is still selling for $400 used o_O

No, I meant what they do to a reviewer. Granted it's a juvenile move from NVIDIA but the card still does what I want to do the fastest.

What, why? It's the top card right now. Who cares what the company does to a reviewer as long as their product is good? Instead of returning it you might as well just sell it.

Picked up Red Dead 2 with the discount. It's so much more playable on keyboard/mouse for me than it is with a PS4 controller. Plus the graphics are a lot nicer on my PC.

Bah, I've been here almost 15 years and I've always been about best-bang-for-the-buck. It doesn't make sense to spend 2x, 3x, or more on highly depreciating assets for performance or features that you don't need. My main exception is TN panels - I'm not getting one of those, no matter how low...

Meh, the Steelcase chairs are much more comfortable for me. The hard front edge on the Aeron gets uncomfortable if you sit up on the front edge. $500 is still a pretty good deal if you like these though.

Anyone still using their 2209WA? I just realized mine is 9 years old, but it's still in perfect condition and is the best for reading text. I'm using it to post this right now. Though I wonder if there are any newer monitors that are as good or better for eye strain while reading.

I took the Angular Complete Guide training and it was much better than I expected. But this price really isn't very special - they are ALWAYS offering some deal that takes prices down to about $10. And even when there is no deal, I think the highest price I saw for the one I took was $20.

I'm still on 60Hz and no HDR, I don't really get the appeal of those.

Here is a good early benchmark video for desktop users with 8700k, pre-patch and post-patch: TL;DW: gaming not affected, NVMe SSD performance 5-15% worse.

Doesn't Vegas Pro Edit have less functionality than Vegas Pro?

bespoke pixels, made in small batches

Really, have the 1070's been higher than that lately? I got my 1070 for $400 a year and a half ago at Microcenter.

I once dressed as an open box motherboard for a Halloween party and won the "scariest costume" award.

I wonder how these would compare with the 595... I assume I'd need to pick up an amp?

That's why I'm still running a 2500k, LOL

They've also got the 7700k for $299, plus if you get it with a CPU/mobo bundle you save $30.

I'm having a lot of fun with my Rift + Touch.

I bought a bunch of other games, but can't stop playing this one until I beat it. The ability to mess up robots however I want is too fun.

I agree, let them pander my lascivious gyrations to anyone who wants to watch.

For $10 you could get these glasses from Zenni, I have read multiple threads saying they work well. Also they make you look like the bad guy from Indiana Jones.

Whattt??? The bundle with the gift card was $499 when I ordered at 9 PM, and was still that price at midnight. When did this change? I wonder if I could contact support to get the gift card thrown in. For some reason I doubt it.

I couldn't help it, I had $400 in Amazon points burning a hole in my virtual pocket.

I got the bag too. Super fancy for a PSU.

Just picked one up. My current PSU is almost 9 years old and I think it might be crapping out on me (getting weird untraceable restarts), so time for a switch. This would even let me SLI another 1070 in there... :whistle:

The deal seemed to be dead earlier this morning, but is available again!

Good thing I real this whole thread before taking my chance with the bundle... sounds like the chance of getting anything good approaches 0.

I'll put this on my Christmas wish list along with Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior specifically on Blu-Ray

all i ever buy on black friday is turbotax still waiting for the price drop on that, hopefully tomorrow it'll kick in

Aerons suck. The hard plastic front edge of the seat makes it uncomfortable on my thighs after long times. Steelcase Leap or Amia is much better. The Embody also looks like they got rid of the front edge, so it's probably better than an Aeron too.

Mama always told me life is like the Internet... it's srs bsns. :whistle:

A 500 mile drive to save $30 on a CPU... #DidntDoTheMath

Papa bless.

i almost pulled the trigger, but it is just a bit too big for me. maybe the moto g.

I can wear similar Sennheiser models (555, 595) for 4 or 5 hours at a time and not feel any discomfort. And that's with glasses on. Sometimes I forgot that I'm even wearing headphones.

correct, ideally home usage in a relatively low noise environment

with open cans, if your phone or doorbell rings and you're playing music you can still hear it also open cans supposedly sound better, but i can neither confirm nor deny because i haven't owned a decent pair of closed cans
