    WD Blue 6TB $199.99 @ Amazon

    I checked 5TB and 6TB Reds purchased in the past year or so and they seemed to already be set to 300 by default, which was nice.

    Free Chipotle Burrito

    Started hearing that Chipotle may have been a victim of corporate sabotage by Monsanto or another megafirm with vested interest in creating public fear of "organic" alternative sourcing of food products. Chipotle was a huge success and a rising star. For them to all of a sudden have this mystery...

    Stackable 10% off + 20% off at Jet.com

    "The code SCARYMOMMY2015 is only valid on your first purchase". -__- Jet.com becomes pretty much worthless after the first purchase. The prices aren't any better than amazon or ebay and they have way less product availability/diversity. They started out great for like the first couple months...

    Descent Underground 17% off on Steam. - Warm?

    Just to update, it sounds like they do plan singleplayer (the dev confirmed) and currently have a wave mode for humans vs AI robots.

    Descent Underground 17% off on Steam. - Warm?

    Be aware there is no singleplayer yet despite what the Steam store page says. The Ars review clarifies that they just sort of hope to get to it at some point. Meh.

    Gigabyte 390 - $279

    The product page shows it at $299 but when you add it to cart it's actually $329. Weird. Also, VCO2015BTS has expired. So it's $329.99 plus a $20 MIR, plus $4 shipping. Meh. Dead is either dead or never existed. If it was actually $275 + $4 shipping, I would have gotten it. edit: And now...

    2TB Samsung 850 Evo SSD $649.99

    Booo. Always separate drives. OS/boot drive and separate drive for Steam/games installs. My OS drive is usually a 256GB SSD, though I might step up to a 500GB one next time around. Games SSD is 500GB now, maybe 1TB next time around. Then the rest of the data and media gets stored on a higher...

    VisionTek Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card - $255.61+ FS

    That one's only on newegg, though. Amazon's price is $100 higher. I have a bunch of gift card balance with amazon, so I'll be buying my next GPU there but not until their price is as good as newegg's on that 290X. update: Also reportedly has a crappy cooler, so don't get this unless you're...

    SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 4GB 512-Bit GDDR5 Tri-X OC Video Card $260

    Also, AMD's drivers will generally be rock solid while NVidia's tend to be more crashy. I haven't had a game CTD in close to decade due to AMD GPU drivers, where as NVidia drivers tend to be less stable. It's enough to make me second-guess getting a 980Ti after enjoying such consistent driver...

    EVGA 970 superclock - $143 Price match only

    fwiw, if you have a Microcenter within 25 miles of the Best Buy you go to, and that Microcenter has it in stock, they will pricematch it. Anything else is basically cashier error/ignorance. I confirmed at my local Best Buy this morning.

    [Warm?] Zotac GTX980Ti for $634.99 plus free Prime shipping - good deal? decent card?

    http://www.amazon.com/Zotac-GeForce-DisplayPort-Graphics-ZT-90501-10P/dp/B00YNEIAWY/ Curious if that's a decent price for a 980Ti and whether there are any issues with the Zotac cards? Coil whine? High temps?

    Fury X vs 980 TI - Reality

    I remember going to the local computer shop hole-in-the-wall and seeing boxes for video cards from Matrox, S3 Virge, Diamond, 3Dlabs, 3dfx Voodoo, Trident, Hauppauge, etc. Those were the days... the days of LAN parties, 3D acceleration being a huge deal, pixels, voxels, texels, mip mapping, and...

    Do you agree with Hardocp?

    At the current price and with its current featureset (4GB VRAM, no HDMI 2.0), I'm inclined to agree. The moment it drops to $550, I think we have a very different scenario and it becomes a real alternative to spending $100 more for a 980Ti. That said, hopefully NVidia would knock at least $50...

    Fury X vs 980 TI - Reality

    I'd tend to agree. The most logical reason why the air-cooled model is delayed is they want the process to mature a bit first so they can bin cooler-running chips for the air-cooled model so it doesn't throttle itself too much during gaming. The 4GB VRAM tied with the $650 pricetag, the missing...

    Dell U2415 - Newegg - $249.99 (no MIR required)

    Amazon is matching. I just picked up a second one after enjoying this one the past few months. Excellent 60Hz display. Can't beat the price for a great 1920x1200 display.

    Same. Why risk buying refurb for a price discount off MSRP that's not much better than when a new product is on actually sale at an e-tailer.

    Pre-order 8TB Seagate HDD for $249 (expected to ship in March)

    I hope these force WD prices to drop soon on their 5 & 6TB drives. The Reds are expensive and considering the quality issues reported with the 6TB model, I've been holding off. But my current drives are full, so I'm just waiting for the day the prices drop to pick some up. =\

    Some Good 290X Deals

    That's why I haven't replaced my 7970. The GTX-970 is the right price. $300 is the most I'd generally pay for a GPU for gaming. So I skip a generation or two in between upgrades if necessary. It's definitely been worth waiting out the overpriced AMD 2x0 series, especially seeing what NVidia's...
