    Jet - ASUS GTX 1080 Turbo $581 shipped

    With the Gigabyte 1070 for $399 from Newegg and Amazon, I decided to order from Jet with the SHOP10 coupon. Would have been $380 after tax (NJ). But the order was canceled (It did show out of stock on newegg after the cancelation). Although it was in stock at the time of order. I wonder if they...

    MSI x99a Gaming 7 - ~ $95 -- Jet.com

    Yea, by the time I went to the site, they had taken down the rebate, although I believe it was before 15 days after. Still a great deal.

    MSI x99a Gaming 7 - ~ $95 -- Jet.com

    Mine was by HPP Enterprises as well. That is one of the things with ordering from Newegg and Buydig, I don't mind paying tax, since with free shipping I usually have the item a day later. Here, I paid the tax, since Jet.com is in Jersey, but then get it from across the country. Still a good...

    Price to performance sweet spot

    I think I am going to order the EVGA G2 750w on promo at Newegg. Currently have a Rosewill Capstone 550m, conflicting reports if it is enough power.

    Price to performance sweet spot

    Yes, I tried with 14.12 and 14.9. They can boot to desktop, but then the screen goes black. With the ones I have now, I had the computer running for 8+ hours yesterday, but then turned my monitor off to let Elder Scrolls Online run the patch overnight. I woke up and when I turned the screen...

    Price to performance sweet spot

    I just bought an open box asus r9 290 directcu ii from newegg for $229 - $25 Amex Sync promotion. Not the best price, but a decent upgrade from my 6850. Having some of the reported Black screen problems though. Stable with no drivers installed. Mostly stable with the 13.251 drivers on the...

    SB Overclocking results?

    I am running 4.5Ghz @ 1.355 volts. I was able to boot into windows at 4.8Ghz @ 1.375 volts and 5.0Ghz @ 1.415 volts. All passed intel burn test maximum at 30 runs, but the higher would not pass Prime 95 Blend for more than 2 hours. I wanted this rig to try folding so I wanted to be able to...

    Intel X25-V = $76.49

    I have not benchmarked this drive other than a restart program. The computer boots down and restarts in around 45 seconds, which seems good to me, although I only have a laptop with a western digital caviar black to compare it to (which was a big upgrade from the Seagate which came with it). I...

    Sandy Bridge Pricing

    Another option is buying from mwave using ebillme on 2x Tuesdays. That puts the price around $200 after the cashback. You can also use other cashback on top like fatwallet or ebates. I bought a 2500k+ud4 for $394 after ebillme+$5 review coupon including a download for Civilization V for free...

    Crucial C300 64gb $100 shipped WARM

    If I didn't get the 40gb intel ssd for $38 (after coupons/rebates) from mwave, I would consider this as a boot drive. At this point I will probably wait for the next generation and until prices are around $1/gb or less (hoping to upgrade to 80gb or 128gb eventually)

    Yea, I sent them the prices from newegg and superbiiz, but they have not matched them. I guess they figure people will pay the extra to have it with Prime.

    They had some good headphones for the money. I bought a pair of Klipsch Image X10 when they had a half off sale, and I am impressed by the sound (although I put them down on the kitchen and one of my siblings misplaced them.) I have heard good things about their THX Certified speakers (other...

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Announced for release on 11/11/11.

    I wonder if they will be brining back more unique/rare/powerful items . I enjoyed going around in Morrowind, finding the items, and then giving them to the museum (would be cool if they had your house set up so that you can display items easily like in the museum). Playing both Morrowind and...

    Good review. It also seems to be fairly priced, especially if microcenter offers a discount like they are advertising on other boards. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354009
