What should I get for $7?

Kantastic · Oct 8, 2010, 12:18 AM

I'm buying an 80mm fan & some MX-2 off eWiz but I'm about $7 short of being able to use the $5 off $15 coupon (BAT5). What should I get for $7 or under that might come in handy in the future? I'd get another tube of TIM but that still wouldn't put me over $15.

tim paste.

Might consider 2, definitely not 3.

Or an extra HDMI cable ...they always come in handy.

compressed air maybe? isopropyl alcohol wipes (really handy for cleaning keyboards, tim, etc. etc.), condoms are always something good to stock up on with spare $$..

None of that can be found on eWiz.

PS/2 keyboard if you don't already have one? Maybe you can get a bottle of conductive paint or something?

zip ties

HXL492 · Oct 8, 2010, 09:39 AM

Fan filter good idea! Cheap so buy 2 of them especially if you have an air duct from the side panel that blow right onto the cpu fan.
