Too many failed drives 1 egg reviews. I would pass it if I were you.

literally just replaced 2x 5TB arrays in my prod servers. That was fantastic. Now I am running 6TB HGSTs.

I am super pumped for storage deals though. oh man love me some TBs.

Isn’t there a promo code at the bottom of that ad? Not sure how much of a discount but it sure should be cheaper than the listed price. Maybe $10 cheaper

Thank you, didn't see the mouse print, once I enlarged the page it stuck out like a sore thumb. BFAD132 only good on 11/23.

Post some TB deals if you see them!

Vlada011 · Nov 16, 2018

I search for Black Ice Nemesis GTX 360 for Black Friday.
But I would not complain if GTR 360 price is good.

phill · Nov 16, 2018

I've been bad and spent more than I should have already.. But had some killer deals

PSUs and a motherboard for starters

Vlada011 · Nov 16, 2018

I don't know nothing about my next motherboard except one thing.
She will be DDR5/PCI-E 4.0 compatible.

I just found this offer up from PureVPN which has a lot of other things in their package other than the standard VPN thingy that they have. It is a bit surprising for me considering the fact that they are offering antivirus, ad blocker, url filter and IPS & IDS along with everything which their standard VPN package has like 5 multilogins, multiple vpn protocols, p2p optimized servers etc.

But the price they are offering all this for (most probably because of Black Friday/Cyber Monday offer) is really low i.e. $79 for 5 years (roughly $1.32 a month if I break it down). Apparently it is like they would be getting a really low amount as profit out of it, but good on the buyers’ end I guess! Here's the link to take a look!

It seems like it is worth a shot. What do you suggest?

Keullo-e · Nov 17, 2018

I hope for a Ryzen 5 2600 at 150eur or lower..

Wow, sweet deal!

On another note, if you were wishing for a Vega 64 reference, it's $399.99 with 3 free game bundle at Newegg:
