Hopefully we all have our own subscriptions to the emails. :D
That is, unless Mike029 is offering to make the purchases too. =))
The 15% off on the case made me do it. ^#(^:-ss:-s:-"
Just checking to for a pulse.

For a mere $399.99 you get an i7-4790K Devil's Canyon CPU, EVGA Z97 Classified mobo (supports 4-way SLI), 8GB RAM and a game. According to Newegg, the normal cost on this combo is $680, so it's a pretty sweet deal. Ends at 11:59 PM PST on 11/26 (tonight!). May last longer depending on sales, but don't count on it.
*Edit: Sold out :( So they added another combo exactly the same but with an i7-4690k for $299. It sold out too.

New egg has Windows 10 Home OEM for $79.99 with code EMCKNAP67 today. I'm thinking of a new main rig so I instantly grabbed one.

Isn't windows 10 free from any other windows version? At least all my win 7 machines get spammed to update to win 10 for free.

That's what I was thinking! LOL Even my copy of 8.1 Pro with KMSpico got a free upgrade to 10 Pro. Not like I'm using it now anyway.
It is only free as an upgrade if you have an existing license for Windows 7 or later. If you're building a new PC or have Vista and earlier you must purchase a new license for Windows 10.

Where? All that's still being sold is Windows 7 Pro for several hundred.

Ebay, I've used two different sellers. One mailed coa with install DVD/iso download. The other was download only. There's a Microsoft tool that'll make windows isos bootable for a thumb drive.
Sorry they're as low as 60$ for 64bit pro.
They are legit, you might have to validate twice though, this is common.

I don't trust Ebay for stuff like that. I know some people who got burned big time on buying Windows OS from Ebay. Too many counterfeits floating around. To each their own though.

You might change your mind when you see the near 5k sold in the first listing.
The two licences of windows 7 I've bought off eBay are both ready to update to windows 10. Im just lazy and tight on disk space.

Call me stupid or paranoid if you want but I rather pay a reasonable premium of $79.99 (sale price) and take the safe route. Thats just me though so meh.

Yeah now that I see the prices, and the convenience factor it might be less cost/time/stress.
a few of us have put some effort into avoiding the upgrade to hear someone wants to buy it was funny and inspired my initial reply.
And to be honest, I'm rather naive in avoiding it. Things like dx12, maybe something about multi non hetero genus GPUs working together, when I see those benefits kick in I'll have to update.

I bought a Win 10 Pro through eBay and paid with Paypal. It was a bogus COA and I complained to eBay and Paypal. Ebay banned the seller and Paypal had my money back to me in a couple of days. It turned out to be nothing more than a little hiccup. I always use Paypal on eBay.
On Newegg, keep an eye out for this badge:

I bought some RAM a few days ago and saw that it is now on sale... I filed a Price Match claim and they approved it right away. You have two weeks to file.
Over the weekend I got a good deal on some G-Skill Mac RAM so I upgraded my MacBook Pro from 4GB to 8GB.

Nice! More RAM = access to more of the high-RAM tasks at one time, or VMs!
Newegg has an interesting deal today: $60 for a new PowerColor HD 6950 graphics card. I'm not a huge fan of the 6xxx series, but the 6950/6970 had their strengths. They're great on Moo, and pretty good on Collatz and Milkyway (decent Double Precision GFLOPS). You'll be disappointed if you try to run Einstein, SETI or POEM on this card, but for $60 it would be a good card for project goals or to keep on hand for challenges.

FourOh is correct, not a bad card at that price, but I only used the one I use to have on Moo! and MW. It's fine on the other projects if hours are more important than credits.
The Intel Core I7-6700T low-power model is finally available! 35 watt TDP... will make a great HTPC or fanless setup. I plan to put one in service soon-

Today only 11/21/2018 until 8PM EST Ebay is offering a 15% off coupon (using promo code PICKFAST). For example you can get this RX VEGA 64 sold by Newegg on eBay for only $340 https://www.ebay.com/itm/382598638615
Promo code is only valid when you buy within the latest version of the eBay Mobile App on iOS or Android. No minimum purchase required, maximum discount is $100.
Eligible items exclude warranties and protection plans, as well as items from the Coins & Paper Money, Gift Cards & Coupons, Vehicles, and Real Estate categories. So pretty much anything crunching-related. Also covers multiple items but must be a single transaction.

Which projects do best on AMD GPUs again?
Einstein and MW for sure.
How does that AMD RX VEGA 64 compare to anything NV wise? I'm not sure I'm even in the market, but for that price I *could* be? :D lol... Wouldn't mind something that can game better than a GTX 1060 6GB at 2K (have a 32" 2K monitor is why - might upgrade to 4K at some point but my GPU can't run that, so that's why the 2K right now...)

In gaming it's generally faster than a GTX 1080 but slower than a 1080 Ti, so basically it stomps the crap out of a 1060 :p
In compute performance, here's a few benches: https://www.anandtech.com/show/11717/the-amd-radeon-rx-vega-64-and-56-review/17 The GTX 1080 is about 8% faster on average when FP64 isn't considered. The cheapest 1080 right now is $440: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500398&Description=gtx%201080&cm_re=gtx_1080-_-14-500-398-_-Product but goes off sale in 3 days. Next cheapest is $470
A little off topic but SSDs are dirt cheap right now too. Definitely worth checking them out https://www.newegg.com/Storage/EventSaleStore/ID-46?N=100011692
