What would you want/get for this coming black Friday/Holiday season?

xkm1948 · Nov 9, 2016

Let's see your wish list or plan list for what hardware you want. Personally I am really looking forward to get either an 8 or 10 core Broadwell-E. Hopefully Microcenter will have those for sale.

Other than that I am also looking to get a 1TB 960Pro NvME.

Edit: Knowing Samsung knocked the MSRP down on certain SSD would have been nice before I posted.

I need a decent 250-500GB SSD and largish spinning backup drive or two.

1060 6gb.

A pair of M.2 2280 SSD to RAID0.

that sounds nice

peche · Nov 10, 2016

not computer related im afraid, some clothing stuff and also a new cassette sprocket for my bycicle to start cycling again ! :cool:

And almost forget, some weird strain nugs for making space trips random!

You know sometimes having an extended period of time could be a must!

Hardware at a reasonable price. Wouldn't that be something.

In reality I just want some new socks and a badger-hair brush to apply my shaving soap properly (old fashioned shaver here).

Nothing for PC hardware. There are quite a few games from 2014/2015 that I want if they are on a really good sale on the Steam Winter Sale. If not I can wait until the Summer Sale or whenever I can get them for 66% to 75% off.

Cash back on the new mb z170 ,its within the return period after purchase for that.
A better low end card than my hd6450 ,with more vram gcn based would be nice to score one, yet its no t a priority or ao to speak.

I've been interested in trying to build a home/media server. Never built a server before so I'm a little excited and hopefully can find some good deals on parts.

Phaewryn · Nov 10, 2016

A KVM switch and an XFX RX480 Black Edition graphics card. Could also use a few more SSDs and 1 more HDD for the storage machine.

peche · Nov 10, 2016

i really want a dremel, not sure if my wallet could please me this time

Not sure they recognize that paean to capitalism, BF/CM in GB, peche. If you were more specific about the cassette you hope to buy it would help me help you. If nothing else I can throw whatever discount codes they send your way.

I ride more than a little.

FYFI13 · Nov 10, 2016

A GTX1070 at reasonable price.

LightningJR · Nov 10, 2016

A ~500GB SSD and Avenged Sevenfold's album The Stage on LP. That's not much to ask is it santa?

remixedcat · Nov 11, 2016

a couple of windows 8.1 based laptops, a proper server (xeon based poweredge or the like), more SSDs, and SNOW!!!

Aye soon, sometimes you need to slow the world, to see the peace around nature, hikes on great landscapes here!

nomdeplume · Nov 11, 2016

So that would be a mtb cassette then. I'll let you know when the special codes start showing up in my mailbox.

Apparently the Brit's do recognize our shopping holiday. The Isles are the preferred place to buy right now.

Vayra86 · Nov 11, 2016

No hardware I think.

But I may pick up Tyranny soonish. Game looks nice

P4-630 · Nov 11, 2016

Nothing for me atm.. Got bills to pay.. :ohwell:

My last purchase was a game, Alien: Isolation.

Slizzo · Nov 11, 2016

Seeing as Kaby Lake looks like nothing special, and speculation that Zen isn't anything crazy either, I'm going to be looking at updating my aging Sandy Bridge system to something a little more recent. I'm currently looking at getting an X99 setup going with a 5820k. Should be reasonably priced, and if I can get the 5820k to clock to 4.3GHz-4.5GHz I'll be golden I think.

Liviu Cojocaru · Nov 11, 2016

I know that this is a great marketing method to fool people into buying overstock for different stuff, I could maybe buy some hardware if the price is right (I don't think I need anything but I will do it anyway). I would like to buy a vacation to be honest
