Title: What's on your Christmas / Black Friday / Cyber Monday List?
Post by: thegagne on Thu, 28 November 2013, 10:41:08
What non-keyboard stuff is on your wish list for this Holiday Season?

Post away and $if you like I'll organize the good submissions into a nice list sorted by price.

Please note I am not searching for the best deals out there, this is not a Black Friday thread, this is mostly just to help us all get ideas of what to tell friends/family to get us.  :thumb:

Yeah that's crazy cheap for nice 3TB drives. I ran into a company still using an old Apple XServe RAID - they could replace that whole system for about $100 and get better performance...

I'd like to find a nice wireless bluetooth headset for my PS4 (stereo or 5.1) that can be linked to my cell phone to answer calls mid-game.

Any suggestions?

Considering the Steelseries H wireless at the moment. But that price tag....

It's a similar price, but a friend of mine swears by his Plantronics Rig headset. The mixer is a nice touch :)

I'd also like to get some lighting for my man-office, both some room lights and also a desk lamp - any suggestions? It's a basement room and there's no way for me to get ceiling lights... I do have a nice ledge I could do some up-lights?

I had some plans of getting a new mouse and a new camera, but no deals I like so far, because I'm looking for particular models.  So possibly nothing this year, which feels good.  Got lots of crazy deals last year, but this year mostly don't need any upgrades.  Probably will be rebuilding both of my home computers in another year.

Bought some keycaps, BF4, and 3x 50 cent  :)) laptop bags from Case Logic.

There was a good i5 + mobo combo deal at Fry's, but I woke up late today and missed out. I don't have to upgrade right now anyway so not a big deal to me. I thought about getting some drives but I also decided against it too.

You'd be surprised.....so many people at work always talk about their hard drives and especially the computer memory in megabytes instead of gigabytes. :D

I don't even correct them because the explanations would take too long, normally when they ask me anything with a detailed response, I just say, " It's really technical I can explain it to you but you probably don't really want to know do you?" at which point they go get coffee and let me do my thing.

I didn't feel like the ssd deals were that good this year.. that 250gb sam-evo for $120 was the only one worth mentioning.. but it was hard to get for many cuz pretty much no one had masterpass (mastercard paypal, like v.me).

So their signup server was overloaded due to the Tiger D crowd.

I was looking for budget but decent quality headphones/IEM online, and found these:

Audio Technica ATH-M50S ($100.00)
3x Brainwavz Beta v2 ($30.00) total

I lose my IEM's all the time (granted, I traditionally purchase cheap ones so I don't even pay close attention), so finding a deal to buy 3 of the Beta for the original price was really nice :)

Yep. Best price I've ever seen it at so far. A friend bought me one as my bday present a couple months ago and it was $60 then so if anyone's in the market for a good webcam, I would recommend picking up the C920 at this price.

logitech has faster autofocus.. that's really the only difference.

But... you should realize how useless that is.. because who constantly leans forward and back in front of their computer...

But... you should realize how useless that is.. because who constantly leans forward and back in front of their computer...

Guess it all depends on what your doing?

Wanted the Astro A50's. Still couldn't justify the price after 25% off. Lol.

Maybe you could get Newegg to price match Amazon @ $225

and still get the $30 promotional gift card? Worth a try.

If they don't price match, you can use this 5% off coupon: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51806.0

Will update OP later.

Picked up Google ChromeCast, a usb wall charger and some braided usb cables, and a cheap earbud w/ mic for wife. None of those had crazy discounts.
