Nice!
Yep, it looks like Black Friday has come early this year. That is if you live near a MicroCenter store. [In-Store Only Deal] Intel Core i7-4790K $249.99 +tax (Link)
Yesterday that CPU was $279.99...
Far too many deals to mention, but there's a couple SSDs i wanted to note after spending the time to dig for them:
1) Super Talent 256GB $87.29 + free shipping http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i ordered 2 of these)
Edit: This drive may not fit in a notebook/laptop since it's 9.5mm thick. This same drive is available at Newegg for $183.80 + $11.50 shipping
2) SanDisk 240GB SSD $84.99 + free shipping http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-...YZWM5MENQC1386

RANT ALERT: Newegg had some Mobile-only deals over the last week; I used one to buy an i7-4790k & motherboard. HOWEVER for some damn reason one cannot select "Will Call" from the mobile app. A long chat with customer service and I could not convince them to extend the mobile discount to a web promo code... but alas I am a sucker for a deal so I figured "what the heck" Newegg is shipping the items from IN MY CITY so it shouldn't take but a couple days.
Oh, but then Newegg does the unthinkable... using FedEx SmartPost to ship an item IN TOWN. So Monday morning Newegg ships the package via FedEx from Memphis. Tuesday morning the package is at a ground hub in North Mississippi. Wednesday morning the package is sent to the USPS back in Memphis. Now USPS indicates the package is at the post office in my zip code, but don't expect delivery til Friday.
Normally I wouldn't really care because I'd be doing my build on a weekend, but I need to have this thing up and running, programs installed and files restored by Saturday afternoon when my wife gets home from a trip. I'm (secretly) upgrading her home office PC
Rant complete (for now)
I hate SmartPost!
I ordered 2 different packages of cables from the Egg at the same time. They shipped both via Dumbpost on the same day. 1 got here on Friday. The other didn't get here until today. If you need anything fast you can't use their Newegg free shipping.
On the other hand I got a Crucial 240gb SSD on the 6th of this month and it failed. I sent it bac to the Egg and they are sending a new one via next day air so I should have it tomorrow.

RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!
Crunched SETI Classic to the end.
SETI@home classic workunits
17,550
SETI@home classic CPU time 86,861 hours
I'm not so sure I'd consider that a better situation than just taking a while to get to ya... Less than a month and you killed an SSD? Sheesh!
(Although, it's really impressive if you got it on the 6th of this month and it failed already. I'm still waiting to see that day myself...)![]()
