Slickdeals.net

Although I do not need anymore competition for those super cheap computer components, here is a site for y'all to set as a homepage ( or one of them if you do the multi-thing).

http://www.slickdeals.net


This site is great. Community driven bargain hunting. I missed out on this, but there was a dual core AMD athalon (2.6ghz (i think))(est. 120$) and a compatible Motherboard with on board HDMI, DVI, and VGA video and 7.1 sound output (est. 100$). The deal, $70.

AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MINE! Had I only gone with my gut rather than double checking if this is really what I wanted. I was worried about the small form factor you see. i shouldn't have worried. I could have done well. I mean, my current vid and sound card would be obsolete with that motherboard, so i would have plenty of room for other stuff.

But, in the 10 minutes i was checking it went from plenty to none in stock.

But that is the way it goes. Slickdeals isn't just computer gear though, they do clothes, shoes, movies, tickets, vaccuums, groceries, everything, including general store coupons. dude i work with got like 20 boxes of kashi ceral for 50$ off amazon. $2.50 a box of cereal is a pretty good discount (ugh-nfortunately so!). He also got enough kashi granola bars to feed a small island nation.

A final note, is that the site is clean. See a deal, click it to see details (do NOT try to open in tab, you get the same page with all deals opened), click on store name in details to go right to deal in most cases.

so, check it out.
