christuf Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Use promocode NEWGEEK25 for 25 off $100 (New account only) People are reporting that the check is only against email addresses, not physical addresses, so if you use another email address you are considered a "new" customer. Deal expires 11.59pm PST on 3/31/11, so hurry! ----EDIT---- Deal has expired - hope you all enjoy your good deals! Quote Link to comment
mbryanr Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I used this 2 weeks ago as a "new customer"....which allowed me to purchase another hard drive without too much household grief! Quote Link to comment

christuf Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 ooooooh! can we use this with any current deals? any 2tb drives on sale? hmmmmmm How about Hitachi 2TB 5K3000 drives for $64.99 (after rebate)? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11929.0 Quote Link to comment
Superorb Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Last night I bought a 5in3 cage and a micro USB cable for $89 shipped, normally $106 shipped for the cage alone due to no free shipping. I also snagged a 2xPCIeX16 + Sempron 140 for $84 shipped A Trendnet GREENnet switch for $30 plus one of those $75/$80 hard drives would be a great deal too. I still need a PSU and RAM, but the PSU's I want are all OOS and the RAM is always $21 shipped. Quote Link to comment
Superorb Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just an FYI, two Hitachi 5K3000 drives are only $52 each after rebate (max 2 rebates per household). Quote Link to comment
christuf Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just an FYI, two Hitachi 5K3000 drives are only $52 each after rebate (max 2 rebates per household). How do you get to $52? My math is: $74.99 - $10 rebate = $64.99 Quote Link to comment

My math is: $74.99 - $10 rebate = $64.99 Because your math isn't for two of them 75x2 = 150-25-20 = 105. Quote Link to comment
wsume99 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I just purchased a Zacate MB for my HTPC. Got the $25 off with my "new" account. Now I'm considering getting 2 of the 5k3000 drives. I don't really need the space but with the new user discount the drives would be $52.50 AR. That's a pretty good price for a 2TB drive. It would be a long time before I probably ever saw a deal like that again. Hmm...I need to think about this one a little more. Quote Link to comment
mbryanr Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Same "dilemma" - an Asus RT-N56U wireless router or (2) Hitachi drives....decisions-decisions. Quote Link to comment
Superorb Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 If I hadn't already bought one a few weeks ago I'd jump on that deal, but it's a max of 2 rebates per household. Quote Link to comment
christuf Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 75x2 = 150-25-20 = 105. Ha! I forgot the $25... what a turkey I am!! Quote Link to comment
wsume99 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just pulled the trigger on two 5k3000 drives. Next up on my little tech shopping spree - should I get an SSD for my HTPC? Quote Link to comment

Superorb Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I couldn't help it, I ordered another 5K3000 drive and 2x1GB DDR3 RAM for my build. $65AR for a 2TB drive + 2GB RAM is pretty good in my book Quote Link to comment
talmania Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Jumped in too---2 more 2TB drives. Time to start replacing the few 1.5 7.2k's still in there. Thanks OP! Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Jumped in too---2 more 2TB drives. Time to start replacing the few 1.5 7.2k's still in there. Thanks OP! Replacing 1.5T with 2T? Even at $50, that means you are spending $100/T. Ouch! Quote Link to comment
NodNarb012 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks OP! Snagged a spare WD20EARS along with an external enclosure that I've been eyeing for a few weeks. Quote Link to comment
PhatalOne Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Awesome find!!! Just bought myself a second Supermicro card with the code plus a $10 promotional card they sent to me. Total was $81 shipped! Quote Link to comment
chooch Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Great find !! I just picked up 2 16GB SSD for $59.99 each, so after discount comes to $47.49 each. I always wanted to try a SSD in my HTPC and MAME machine, so hopefully it works out. Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I ended up picking up three sticks of Kingston 4GB DDR3 for a total of $100.97! That's awesome! Quote Link to comment

Superorb Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Did anyone happen to download the Hitachi rebate from Newegg the past few days? It's not on their site anymore and I forgot to grab it. Quote Link to comment
wsume99 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You can find the forms here. Quote Link to comment
Superorb Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 You can find the forms here. Thanks! It had a different offer number than last month's drive rebate, so I could've gotten two drives after all. Oh well, I'll know for next time. Quote Link to comment
