Welp, if you're like me, then your email exploded this morning with about 2,000 so-called "cyber monday" deals/ coupons/ offers/ suggestions/ deals/ treats/ specials/ sales/ and come on's. Cyber sales have gotten ridiculous. Ridonkulous. Stinkonkulous. It's not even Thanksgiving yet.
However, even though it's ridiculous, I read some shopping "expert's" blog, and that expert said today has the best prices, i.e., that the Monday before Thanksgiving is the best day to shop, b/c the prices will go up from here, until Dec. 25, of course, when they go back down. So shop today! Or wait until 12/26. I dunno. But today is the day to buy, buy, buy. And not only for yourself. :p I'm talking to you Cap'n.

Say what you want, but I'm fine with cyber deals. Why? I don't have to deal with stupidity in person, and I just found the camera I wanted for $100 off when it wasn't on sale anywhere else. Cyber deals are my friend haha.

Oh no, I get to save money for a longer period of time.

What sucks most about the hype of sales is that every year, one poor human is crushed to death at the threshold of a wal-mart somewhere, as if it is a requisite sacrifice to the gods of commercialism.
Anyways, bring on the good deals. :cool:

Here you go -- Intel i7 4790K for $299.99:

If you want to save another $90, and get almost the same performance, then you want the i5 4690K for $209.99:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372
Either way, you get awesome performance for not much money. These are the two best cpu's for the money available today.

Is there a sale on eth0s' love? I'd like some of that.

Cyber Monday is next monday. This is Black Friday Week (haha). And I've been deluged with promotional emails from retailers for a couple weeks now, already.

Yes and no. You can rent my body, but you can't have my mind. (Or w/e Lady Gaga says in that song.) Actually, I have love for you all. But there is a special place in my heart for the Cap'n.

But, i guess i also do it for the applause-plause. Or is it the applesauce-sauce?

You can't have my heart
And you won't use my mind but
Do what you want (with my body)
But there is a special place in my heart for the Cap'n.

:-* :-* :-*
And it's applesauce-sauce for sure.

Amazon is advertising a "Green Monday"....I had to Google it to figure out that it is basically exactly the same as Cyber Monday. Since now Cyber Monday is also Green Monday, I hope it involves twice as many awesome deals on stuff I want.

I've got the i5-4670 already, which is just a shade under that i5. Although I could upgrade to the i7, nothing on my build is showing a CPU bottleneck, so I probably won't do any upgrade for another year or two. Thanks for the suggestion though :thumb:

What camera model did you end up getting? I'm thinking of getting a Nikon D5200 but I'm unsure.
